#452: Closing In on Danzou
[Side text: Omoi worries about anything and everything... but more than anything else, he's worried about his master, Killer Bee!!]

2
[Insert text: The call has been made to eliminate Sasuke... Naruto can't believe what he's hearing!!]
Naruto: What the heck are you talking about?!
Kiba: I don't really get what's going on myself!
Kakashi: I daresay the call was made that we cannot simply wait until Tsunade recovers... / A logical enough decision. // And Sasuke is, after all, a Missing-Nin. // Eliminating Missing-Nin is standard procedure. / It is only thanks to Tsunade-sama's lenience that he has been allowed free rein for this long...
Sakura: Wait here... / I'll go and speak with Danzou!!
Kakashi: Wait, Sakura! / Simply storming in and complaining is not going to solve anything.

3
Sakura: Making a decision like this while Tsunade-sama is still indisposed...! // And this is Sasuke we're talking about! / ...We can't simply sit back and allow this!
Naruto: I'm gonna go, too!
Kakashi: Calm down, both of you. / It's in situations such as this that composure and careful consideration are most important.
Naruto: How can I be calm about this?! // I'm not letting him lay a finger on Sasuke!
Kakashi: I told you to wait!
Naruto: !
Kakashi: Danzou undoubtedly knows perfectly well how the two of you will react to this news. // What do you mean to do once you find him?
Naruto: I'm not going to do anything stupid! / I'm just going to talk to him, convince him to reconsider the Sasuke situation!

4
Kakashi: I'm sorry, but when it comes to Sasuke, I find it difficult to believe that talking is all you will do! // He may only have the Daimyo's personal appointment right now - the necessary acknowledgment from the village Jounin is yet to come - but for the moment, Danzou is Hokage. // If you do anything rash, you could get yourself thrown into a cell.
Naruto: I don't mind if I do! I'm still going!
Sakura: Me, too!
Kiba: Wh... Whoa... you guys...
Kakashi: Naruto, the Kyuubi is stored inside of you. / Danzou will take any opportunity to confine you to this village; if you confront him like this, you will be playing straight into his hands. // And if that happens, you will lose any chance of searching for Sasuke... / Just keep a low profile for now.
Naruto: ......

5
Sai: You called?
Danzou: Keep watch over Naruto... / If he does anything of note, report every detail to me.
Sai: ......Of course. // ......If I may be so bold... might I ask a question of you?
Danzou: What is it?
Sai: ...What exactly... // ...do you intend to do with regard to Naruto?

6
Danzou: You need not worry... Naruto has become a hero to this village. // The villagers have gained a profound trust in him... / More trust than they have in the Sixth Hokage. // Interfering with Naruto would only serve to worsen the people's opinion of me. / And with the Jounin approval still to come, this is a tenuous period... // Nevertheless, Naruto is a Jinchuuriki. / As Hokage, I also have a duty to keep that Jinchuuriki under careful observation. // I cannot afford to be as soft as Tsunade.
Sai: ......Understood.
Danzou: ......

7
Sai: (Will things really... be all right...?)
Sakura: Sai! We were just looking for you!
Naruto: There's something we need to talk about.
Sai: What is it?
Sakura: We want you to tell us everything you can about Danzou.
Sai: ...... // I'm afraid that is impossible.
Sakura/Naruto: !

8
Naruto: ...But why?!
Sakura: Don't tell me you're still going to take his side!!
Sai: No... that's not what I mean. / It is literally impossible for me to tell you anything about Danzou. // Because of this...
Naruto/Sakura: !
Naruto: What... is that thing...?
Sakura: That's... a curse seal......
Sai: Indeed it is... it was placed upon me by Danzou-sama. If I were to attempt to reveal any information about Danzou-sama, then my entire body would be paralysed, rendering me unable to speak, or indeed to do anything else... / All members of Root have a similar seal.
Sakura: He's a cautious one all right...

9
Sai: Danzou-sama and Root deal in highly covert operations. // We have performed any number of less-than-respectable tasks in the course of protecting the village from the shadows... // As such, preventing any information from leaking out is a top priority. / This way, even if captured, members are unable to reveal information under any circumstances...
Sakura: Still, that's just horrible... // Placing curse seals upon his own subordinates... I simply cannot approve!!
Sai: It is through the use of such methods that he has been able to protect this village. // The methods may be forceful, but they nevertheless demonstrate how deeply he cares for this village.
Sakura: Then why did he overturn Tsunade-sama's decision on the Sasuke issue?! // He's sending out forces to track him down and eliminate him already!
Sai: H... He is? / I wasn't aware of anything relating to... // !

10
Karui: Go on... I'd be very interested to hear what you have to say about this Sasuke!
Naruto: !!
Karui: From what I hear, you people are pretty friendly with him, eh?!

11
Sai: ?!

12
Naruto: (Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!)
Omoi: Don't slice him up!!
Karui: I know!

13
karui: Oh~?!
Sakura: SHA~~~~~NNARO~~~~~~~~~~~!

14
Sakura: Ahhh!
Naruto: Sakura-chan! // Ngh!

15
Naruto: Who the hell are you people?!!
Sakura: ! // Shinobi from the Cloud Village...? / What are you doing here?!
Omoi: You people were talking about Sasuke just now, weren't you?! // We want to hear what you have to say!
Sakura: What does that have to do... with Cloud shinobi like you?!
Omoi: Plenty!! // That Uchiha Sasuke asshole from Konoha came and attacked our village!

16
Sakura/Naruto/Sai: ?!!
Karui: That goddamn Uchiha Missing-Nin of yours abducted our master!! / We don't even know whether he's alive or dead!!!
Sakura: Th... That can't...... be right... / Why would Sasuke-kun... do a thing like...?!
Omoi: How are we meant to know what goes on in those Akatsuki bastards' heads?!!
Naruto: ......Akatsuki? What are you talking about?!
Karui: Huh?!! Seriously, are you fucking with us?! // Sasuke's a member of Akatsuki, ain't he?!!!

17
Sakura/Naruto: ?!
Omoi: You people haven't been doing a damn thing to deal with your own Missing-Nin... / So the Raikage-sama sent us to sort things out! // And your Hokage has given us permission to eliminate him!!
Naruto: (Sasuke...... abducted their master...)
Omoi: We'll be taking our revenge, you can be sure of that!
Karui: We'll take that Uchiha out ourselves!
Naruto: (Sasuke... what the heck has happened to you...?!!)
[Insert text: The conflict Sasuke has sown... How will Naruto deal with this?!]
