Okay~~... this is my first go... so I'm not sure how it went really... please let me know what you think...
I took out the 「片腕として」 part from one sentence because I couldn't fit it into the English translation.
Hope this helps!
oh, and... what is the plural of jutsu?

[eaballer10]

AMAZING FLUNKO!

That has to be the most detailed translation we had yet!

Thanx for everything!!!

[flunko]

I'll just keep posting my translations in here, rather than making a new thread every single time, ok.
Here's page 53, Uchiha Mikoto.
Let me know if you'd like me to change what I'm doing... is the length a problem.

[njt]

He can transform into a telescopic adamantium staff, and is a battle veteran always at Sandaime’s side on the battlefield.

Here's just another way to say waht you wrote (including the thing you couldn't put it) and I wasn't sure if the use of telescopic that you were using it as, had the same meaning as expandable (like son goku's staff )
伸縮自在の“金剛棒”に変化し、常に三代目の片腕として共に戦場に身を置いた歴戦の強者である。
He can transform into an expandable adamantium staff, and is a battle veteran who can always be found fighting side by side on the battle field as Sandaime's right hand man.

[njt]

Awesome job man

I like the way you laid it out, as well as you writing the Japanese with it too. Thanks a bunch .

[flunko]

Thankyou!!
That'll make things easier!!
I figure if I include the Japanese then it'll be easier for you guys to proofread it for me and tell me what I've done wrong..
Oh, and if I've misread the blurry kanji...
Thankyou!!
btw, the whole ・・垣間見せる・・ line... do you think it's alright the way I've translated it?? (Thanks for the proper reading btw)

[flunko]

yeah, I think expandable is probably a better word by far. Telescopic sounds more like a radio antenna or something...
Thanx!

[njt]

actually I can't think of anything better for it . So I think it's fine

[njt]

Ah- and to answer you other question,
Japanese words, when in romaji become non-count nouns... so like

one manga, two manga.

one jutsu, two jutsu.

[flunko]

urgh!
This one was exhausting!! And there's lots of problems!!
First of all, I'm not sure what to capitalise, and I'm not sure what to call things.
Should it be Suna Gakure or Sunagakure, or Hidden Sand Village, or what??
Then is it the Wind Country or wind country, and Shinobi or shinobi?! I've got no idea!
Plus, there was a few bits in this that I couldn't read from the fuzzzzzy picture..
I've highlighted everything I think is a problem (which is pretty much the whole thing),
and I will welcome comments with open arms!
Thankyou!!

砂隠れの里長であり、テマリ、カンクロウ、我愛羅の父でもある。最強の忍びである「五影」の一角。軍備縮小を始めた風の国の将来に危機感を抱き、我が子や妻をも犠牲にまでして里の強化を計る。しかし、大蛇丸の手により無念の最期を迎える・・・。
The Kazekage was the leader of the Hidden Sand Village, and the father of Temari, Kankurou and Gaara. He was one of the 5 Kage, the strongest shinobi.

However, he came to a bitter end at the hand of Orochimaru…

Orochimaru plotted the “Downfall of Konoha” to achieve his own evil ambitions. The Kazekage, keen to empower the Hidden Sand Village, joined with Orochimaru’s ambitions and decided to attack Konoha.

Any help would be appreciated!

Here's Kidomaru, page 76-77
There's a few things I couldn't read... and some things that were awkward to translate (四人衆の中でも I took out the も, etc）
Also, I tried to get some consistency in this translation with other peoples, i.e. 呪印＝curse seal, 四人衆=group of four,状態=level etc, and the info box as well... any opinions? oh... and any ideas on how to deal with 'ぜよ'??
Comments welcomed!

六本もの腕と複雑に絡む糸を巧みに操って、敵と対峙する鬼童丸。四人衆の中でも、器用でテクニカルなタイプだと言える。緊迫した命のやりとりの中にルールを設け、それをゲームとして楽しむことができる性格は、絶対的な自信と余裕、そして何よりも生来の残虐性の表れだということは想像に難くない・・・。
Kidōmaru confronts his opponents with skilful use of his six arms and intertwined webs. In the group of four, he is the technical and dextrous type. He applies rules to tense fights for survival, and enjoys them as a game.

EDIT: Thanks for the help njt!!

[flunko]

Hehe, thanks..
It's so hard to think of ways to phrase things in English sometimes...
Things that can be so summed up so succintly in Japanese just come out all awkwardy and pointy-looking in English

[njt]

There's a few things I couldn't read... and some things that were awkward to translate (四人衆の中でも I took out the も, etc）

I'll be able to check the parts where you can't read in a few hours (at work ) As for "demo" you could state that as "out of the 4 / of the 4)

oh... and any ideas on how to deal with 'ぜよ'??

As for that, it's just a decortative ender, which... could pretty much be expressed with an ! or just making the sentence have more umph.

オレも本気で行こう・・・

(not exactly sure what the previous sentence was but....) I'll get serious too, I'll be more serious too, I'll quit playing around too (something around those lines... )


Great job though . I'll be able to look it over more later... Damn work

[flunko]

Thankyou! 早速 I'll modify it a bit
