#457: The Kage Summit Begins
[Insert text: Ultimate authorities of the shinobi world... // The Five Kages assemble!!]

3
Sasuke: How does it look?
Juugo: There's a route leading up from the west. It isn't heavily watched.
Sasuke: Karin, keep a continuous check on the chakra positions of the lookouts. We're moving in.
Karin: I'm going in there with you?!
Suigetsu: Surely this is the perfect chance for you to show us what you can do!
Sasuke: Zetsu... that was your name, yes?
Zetsu: Yes?
Sasuke: I need you to identify Danzou for us. // You're coming too.
Danzou: !

4
Torune: It would appear word has arrived from Sai.
Danzou: .........
Torune: What does he say?
Danzou: Just a standard report. // Keep moving.

5
Suigetsu: Wouldn't it be a better idea to ambush 'em and take the guy out before he even arrives? / This is wearing me out...
Karin: Are you a complete fool?! If the Hokage arrives late, they'll know right away that something is wrong! // There'll be samurai reinforcements hunting us down in no time... / ...and if we're unlucky, the other Kages themselves might come after us! // We don't even know what kind of abilities these people have... the safest plan is to await our chance after he leaves the conference, and ambush him then! / Right, Sasuke?!
Sasuke: Just focus on tracking the enemy chakra positions for the moment, Karin.
Suigetsu: Hahah... he sure told you!
Karin: Shut up!
Zetsu: Sasuke... is this getting to you as well?
Sasuke: The important thing right now is that we identify Danzou's face before he enters the summit. / Don't lie to me.

6
Karin: I'll monitor his chakra. // When a person lies, it shows up in their chakra without fail... / And I'm keeping a constant eye on yours, so don't you forget it!
Zetsu: Oh, I won't lie. Danzou is an obstacle to us as well as to you...
Shii: ! // Raikage-sama... Samui's team are here.
Raikage: Hm! // To the ground!!

7
Samui: We have returned from our assignment in the village of Konoha.
Raikage: What's the situation?!
Shii: Samui... it looks like you're being followed.
Samui: ?!
Shii: Show yourselves, dogs of Konoha!!

8
Shii: You people must have quite some skill to track Samui unnoticed.
Omoi: Y... You...
Karui: Why, Naruto, you little...!!
Darui: Boss... that man is Hatake Kakashi - on the right.
Raikage: Hah... I am quite aware of that! // So? Do you bring a message from the Hokage, Hatake Kakashi?!
Kakashi: No... we are here to make a request of you. // To be precise, Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha wishes to make an appeal of you. I beg that you listen to what he has to say.
Naruto: ......
Shii: Is this not a little discourteous? To appear entirely unannounced, and en route to the Kage Summit, no less...
Kakashi: We are fully aware that we are breaching protocol.
Raikage: No matter... You want to speak to me, boy? Let's hear it!

9
Naruto: It's about Sasuke... Uchiha Sasuke. // I want you to refrain from eliminating him.
Omoi: H... Hey... is this really the place to be saying that...?
Samui: ......
Karui: You're still spouting that crap?!
Darui: Interesting......
Shii: What are you saying...?
Naruto: I know that this is a crazy thing to ask...! / But this is all I can do! // Sasuke is my friend...! / I can't just stand around and do nothing while you go out and kill him! // And I don't want blood to be spilled between Konoha and the Cloud because of him, either!! // I don't want anyone, from my village or yours, to be driven to revenge!
Raikage: ...We're leaving.

10
Naruto: I'm begging you here!! // I just want to stop all this meaningless killing because of revenge!!! // Sasuke was always thinking about nothing but revenge!! // His obsession with that was what changed him!! // Revenge drives people crazy! / It makes them into totally different people! // I don't want to see anyone else end up like Sasuke!! // I don't want Konoha or the Cloud to go around killing one another!! // ...So please...!! // Un...hh...

11
Flashback!Sakura: Well, then... I have something to do, so I'm going on ahead. // Don't forget to give the mission report to Kakashi-sensei, okay?
Flashback!Naruto: Sure! You can leave it to us!
Flashback!Sai: ...... // Say, Naruto......
Flashback!Naruto: Mm.........?
Flashback!Sai: You like Sakura, don't you?
Flashback!Naruto: Wha - ?!
Flashback!Sai: I read in a book... that people tend to be all smiles around the people they like. / And I see that in you. / Have you confessed to her? // ?
Flashback!Naruto: ......

12
Flashback!Naruto: ...Like hell I could do that. // I can't even keep a simple promise...
Flashback!Naruto: ...Sai... / Get out of here...
Sai: (I can't... // I can't just stand here and do nothing either, Naruto...)
Naruto: Unhh...
Raikage: We will eliminate Sasuke. // I suggest you try to control yourselves once we do!!

13
Karui: Ugh... that idiot!!
Shii: We are in a hurry. We have done enough here.
Naruto: ............
Yamato: You once attempted to steal the secrets of the Hyuuga Byakugan. This case has never been resolved. // It was you of the Cloud who provoked that conflict... / ...yet we of Konoha choked down our blood and tears and refused to go to war. // I would ask that you not forget... / ...that we have already let you live once despite heavy sacrifice.
Kakashi: ...Before you, you see a young shinobi... // ...who in his own clumsy way is prostrating himself before you for the sakes of both our nations. // Raikage-sama...... / As one of the Five Kages, what do you see in this situation?
Naruto: ...... // Unhh...

14
Raikage: I think you lower your head too easily! / A shinobi's greatest pride is his actions and his strength! // There should be no concessions or compromise in a discussion between shinobi. // The history of mankind is a history of war! / Ever since the three Ninja World Wars... // Every country, every village, has striven to obtain the most powerful ninjutsu it can muster. / For those without power are crushed! // This is an absolute law of the shinobi world! // Any member of Akatsuki is an internationally wanted criminal. / As he has joined their ranks, it is not only I who will go after his life, but the entire world. // You prostrate yourself for the sake of a criminal, and you plead for mercy for the sake of your comrades. // In the world of shinobi, such actions cannot be called friendship!

15
Raikage: Boy of Konoha... I suggest you think long and hard on what it is you truly ought to do! // This world is not accommodating to soft-hearted fools!!
Omoi: ......
Karui: Heh!
Kakashi: Naruto... that's enough... / You can stand now.
Sai: Excuse me.
Sakura: Sai...?

16
Sai: Sakura... there is something I wish to speak with you about.
[TN: If you make a confession on Naruto's behalf, then I murder you. Hinata got there first, and that still needs to be resolved ¬_¬]
Samurai: We have been waiting for you.
Zetsu: That's him. The guy in the middle.

17
Sasuke: So that... is Danzou...

18-19
Mifune: Place your Kage headpieces before you. // This gathering of the Five Kages has been assembled by order of the Raikage-dono. // My name is Mifune, and I will be taking charge of this conference. / Let the summit of the Five Kages begin.
[Insert text: The Summit of the Five Kages... a meeting to shake the entire world... begins here!!]
