Title:
Number 290: The Conclusion of Betrayal!!
Sidebar:
Prayers shall not be granted and screams shall not be heard. Welcome to a world of terror and hopelessness.
Page 2
Frame 1, Text:
The betrayal was seen... In its entirety!!
Page 3
Frame 1, Kabuto:
By the way... About that one task you asked of me, Sasori-sama...
Frame 3, Yamato:
…
... Not good... I still needed to get a few more things out of him... But if I continue this conversation any longer I'll blow my own cover...
Frame 4, Kabuto:
After changing bodies Orochimaru casts a jutsu on the cellular specimen of the leftover corpse meant to protect it... I was unable to perform an analysis of that specimen.
Frame 5, Yamato:
I see...
Chapter Preview:
Suspicions arise... A decisive split forms between Sai and Naruto!!
Page 4
Frame 1, Naruto:
... Just what is he doing! Why doesn't he just go ahead with the capture already!?
Frame 2, Sakura:
This is Kabuto where talking about here. If he were to get away, then things would end there. Taking things almost too carefully here is just what we need to be doing.
Frame 3, Sai:
Still... If he gets more careful than he needs to and ends up arousing suspicion then he'll lose his chance to capture the target.
Page 5
Frame 1, Kabuto:
... On that note, please give me the item we talked about. I can't continue to stay here much longer.
Frame 2, Kabuto:
If it's found out that I'm meeting with you here like this... I'll be killed...
Frame 3, Yamato:
Very well...
Frame 3, Yamato (Thought):
End of the road... It's either now or never!
Page 6
Frame 1, Orochimaru:
Your conversation seems quite amusing. You wouldn't mind if I joined in, would you?
Frame 2, Yamato:
He was followed!
Page 7
Frame 2, Naruto:
Orochimaru!!
Frame 4, Sai:
So that's him...
Frame 5, Kabuto:
I almost wasn't able to step back in time, but thanks to you taking out your kunai, Sasori-sama, I was.
Frame 6, Yamato:
I suppose I've at least escaped detection for now... Still... Now that Orochimaru's here... What should I do?
Page 8
Frame 2, Orochimaru:
That getup of yours... It brings back memories... Sasori.
Frame 3, Yamato:
So you followed Kabuto then?
Frame 4, Orochimaru:
What now... I just wanted to give you some thanks. This boy you sent me... I was able to make quite good use of him.
Frame 5, Orochimaru:
In order for me to develop a new jutsu I need to conduct experiments on well over one hundred live human subjects... Thanks to this boy here I am able to use the same test subject any number of times.
Frame 6, Orochimaru:
I have quite a hard time coming across test subjects, after all...
Page 9
Frame 1, Naruto:
What do we do now!?
Frame 1, Sakura:
All we can do is wait for the captain's signal.
Frame 2, Yamato:
In all likelihood me taking on Orochimaru by myself is out of the question... But if I call in the others then Kabuto will know my identity and capturing him will prove difficult...
Frame 3, Yamato:
Even if I try to work with Kabuto and subdue Orochimaru... My fighting style will make it clear I'm not Sasori in an instant...
Frame 4, Yamato:
Either way I'm left with the choice of defeating him or just retreating... But just one or the other...
Page 11
Frame 2, Yamato:
Did he figure me out? No... Just what's going on!?
Frame 4, Orochimaru (Jutsu):
Sen'ei Ta-Jashu
(Umm... Let's call it the "Hidden Shadow Hand of Many Snakes"... If I remember right either Orochimaru or Anko used a jutsu called "Sen'ei Jashu" before, so this is just the super-sized version of that jutsu.)
Page 13
Frame 1, Kabuto:
Tch...
Frame 4, Orochimaru:
That is a kawarimi using mokuton ninjutsu... You couldn't be...
("kawarimi" is literally "replacement body". "mokuton" is effectively (not literally) "wood element". "ninjutsu" is a "ninja technique".)
Frame 4, Kabuto:
Orochimaru-sama, is that the real Sasori?
Frame 5, Orochimaru:
No... It is not... Kabuto... Are you telling me that you, one of Sasori's own subordinates, doesn't even know his real face?
Frame 6, Kabuto:
... Well, he was dark individual after all, always hiding that puppet of his.
Page 14
Frame 1, Yamato:
What are you talking about...!?
Frame 2, Yamato:
Kabuto... You should be an Akatsuki spy... You should have been under the effects of Sasori's jutsu all the while.
Frame 3, Kabuto:
Ah yes, that justu... Orochimaru-sama freed me from it quite some time ago...
Frame 5, Yamato:
I wasn't expecting you to change sides and act as though you were still under the effects of Sasori's jutsu... So you fell pray to Orochimaru's jutsu then...
Frame 6, Kabuto:
No... Not exactly. All I fell pray to was Orochimaru-sama's magnificent way of thinking.
Page 15
Frame 1, Kabuto:
I chose this path myself.
Frame 2, Kabuto:
よ
... But tell me, who are you? We came here with the intention of killing Sasori, so this is quite the mishap.
Frame 3, Orochimaru:
Kabuto... I'll tell you about this boy afterwards... But first things first...
Frame 4, Orochimaru:
Why don't you call out the three little mice that are hiding in the brush?
Frame 5, Yamato:
So he's seen through everything already...
page 16/17
Frame 1, Text:
The wait is over! Three mice leap forward, making their appearance!! A faceoff with their arch-enemy!!
Frame 2, Kabuto:
You again...
Frame 3, Orochimaru:
Heh heh... I've seen that face any number of times... And it seems the Kyuubi boy is here as well... Why don't we all have a little fun together then.
Frame 4, Orochimaru:
I'll give you the pleasure of telling you which has gotten stronger... You or Sasuke.
Chapter Preview:
The strength of a matured Naruto frightens Orochimaru!? Next Issue, "A Shocking Battle"!!
Es bastante curioso lo que son las traducciones....puesto que una parece dejar bastante claro que Sasuke va a reaparecer y otras no dejan claro què va a suceder, como la que he puesto.....ya que en esta interpreto que Orochimaru va a luchar contra Naruto y comparar con Sasuke;mientras que por ejemplo esta ......
....da la impresion de que Sasuke va a aparecer y van a luchar....
Y en otra traducciòn suelta de la ùltima frase da a entender que Orochimaru va a demostrar còmo de fuerte se ha vuelto Sasuke.....Lo cual no tendrìa sentido bajo mi punto de vista a no ser què Orochimaru ya hubiera poseido su cuerpo....
Y en la de NJT....
...parece que Orochimaru va a comparar con los tres.
