at the mention of his name, while some were apprehensive and skeptical about him. Dr. Eggman: "Naruto Uzumaki, huh? Who is he? Another puny human to challenge my superiority?" Rouge the Bat: "Oh, please. Naruto is way more powerful than you could ever dream of being, Eggman. He's a ninja from a completely different world, with abilities that even we can't comprehend." Amy Rose: "I've heard all about him! He's brave, strong, and always stands up for what's right! I wish I could meet him someday!" Blaze the Cat: "I have to admit, I'm curious about this Naruto person. He must be quite impressive to earn such a reputation." Wave the Swallow: "I don't buy into all this hype about Naruto. I'll believe it when I see it." Cream the Rabbit: "I think Naruto sounds wonderful! I hope I get to meet him and be his friend!" Shadow the Hedgehog: "I have no interest in this Naruto fellow. He is irrelevant to me." Merlina the Sorceress: "Naruto Uzumaki? A mere mortal with some exotic skills, nothing more." Sally Acorn: "I've heard of Naruto before, and I've seen some of his powers. He's quite impressive, and I would love to meet him someday." Nicole the Holo-Lynx: "According to my calculations, Naruto is a skilled ninja with extraordinary abilities. I would be interested in learning more about him."
