Fate: Jack Rakan... You are truly strong. Indeed, your strength is comparable to that of the Thousand Master. // ...I find myself unable to determine whether that strength is "real" or merely a "bug". / Nevertheless...

[A World To Return To]

220
Fai: You could have rested up at the castle for a little longer.
Kurogane: Lying around doing nothing bores me.
Fai: You're just hopeless, aren't you, Kuro-tan? // So? / How are you feeling?
Kurogane: Not bad.
Fai: [aside]ahahahaha[/aside]
[BubbleSFX: tap]
Kurogane: Ngh!
Fai: ...You really are hopeless.

221
Kurogane: The kid slipped out of the castle too, right?
Fai: Yep. / He said he was going to visit his old house. // In this world, it may have only been left abandoned for a few days... // ...but to Syaoran-kun, it's been far, far longer than that.

222
[no text just memories]

223
Mokona: Did you... // ...have a dream?
Sakura: ...Yes.

224
Kurogane: ...So the other kid and princess... / ...disappeared, huh...
Fai: Their bodies, at least.
Touya: Sakura.
Sakura: Brother...
Touya: Are you going out?
Sakura: Yes.

225
Touya: ...You still haven't completely recovered, surely? // Don't push yourself.
Mokona: [aside]bye-bye![/aside]
Sakura: I won't. See you later!
Yukito: ...I see you're not stopping her.
Touya: I've only heard all of it second-hand from her, but... // Other worlds, other selves, and their companions on their journey... / ...They've been through a lot of pain. // If there's something she wants to do right now, I'd like to grant her that.
Yukito: ...Yes, you're right. / Absolutely.

226
Fai: Back then... / Sakura-chan melted away, and left a feather behind. // I hear the same thing happened in the world where the Syaoran-kuns were imprisoned. // Those feathers are their memories. / Or perhaps to speak in the style of Nihon Country, where you came from, it would be more accurate to call it their souls.
Kurogane: Then... / When those feathers were absorbed into the two who remained...

227
Fai: That which was cloned was returned to within the original. / ...is one way of looking at it, but...
Kurogane: But... / ...what?
Fai: I don't think... / ...Syaoran-kun sees it that way.

228
Syaoran: Hello.
Sakura: Will you come with me?
Syaoran: Where to?

229
Sakura: A special place.
Kurogane: He's not satisfied by this, is he.
Fai: No. / Perhaps that's why he chose the price he did. // The world has returned to normal... / ...but that which has been destroyed can never be fully restored. // The same thing goes for the "logic" that Fei Wong destroyed. / And one manifestation of that...

230
Fai: ...is Syaoran-kun himself. // In a closed loop of events... / ...Syaoran-kun was born as the son of a father cloned from himself and a mother cloned from Princess Sakura. / They have now disappeared, but he still remains. // The loop has been broken, certainly, but Syaoran-kun, and... / Watanuki-kun, I think his name was? // The two of them have been left behind.

231
Fai: Lone entities, disconnected from the world.

232
Kurogane: And the Princess...?
Fai: Sakura-chan has her own, separate parents... / ...so it's not like with Syaoran-kun.
Kurogane: ......
Fai: If it were the same for her, Syaoran-kun would probably have chosen a different price.
Fujitaka: Where's Sakura...?
Nadeshiko: She's gone out.
Fujitaka: ...I see.
Nadeshiko: She had a dream, no doubt.

233
Nadeshiko: A dream of what is to come...
Syaoran: This is...
Sakura: A special place. / We came here together when we were young.

234-235
Sakura: The other you, and the other me.
Syaoran: ...Yes, I remember. // I paid... / ...a price to leave that place. // That price... // ...was to "continue my journey".

236
Fai: In this restored world... / ...the two of them are now, in a sense, "entities whose very existence is a paradox". // It is impossible to know what effects they might have upon the rest of space and time. // That's why, in order to suppress those effects to the greatest possible extent, / Watanuki-kun chose to stay in a single place for all of time to come... / ...whilst Syaoran-kun chose to move ever onward, never staying in a single place.

237
Kurogane: Even though he disappeared... // ...those kids are still going to have to keep on paying some kind of price?
Fai: ...I hope the day that too comes to an end arrives soon. / I really do.
Kurogane: Still... / Why did he crumble away like that? // When I sliced him, he definitely felt real...
Fai: I don't know. // But I think... / Fei Wong too... may have been nothing more than a copy of another person.

238
Fai: Not so much a person... / ...as a powerful concept. // The afterimage of a wish made by someone with a great magical power.
Kurogane: Whoever he really was, I guess he's gone now.
Fai: Yes. / ......He is.
Kurogane: Well, good. / If that means they're not going to have to go through any more pain.

239
Mokona: Puu~!
Kurogane: I thought you were with the Princess?
Mokona: Sakura went to see Syaoran! // She had... / ...a dream.
Fai: ...I see. / Perhaps she found out already, then. // In that case, it's time we made our decisions, too. // What we're going to do from now on.

240
Syaoran: However... / ...that's not all. // I want to meet once more with that other self that exists here inside me. // He's still alive. / That other me is still alive here inside of me; I know it.
Flashback!Clone!Sakura: Syaoran and I... / As long as our memories remain... // ...it won't be the end.
Syaoran: Bringing back the dead may be impossible... / ...but it might still be possible to grant a new body to this still-living soul.

241
Syaoran: We swore back then that the world we chose would be one in which we could all exist together. // That's why I'm going to journey onward, and find a world where there is a way to do that. // Once I find that way, / I will ask the other self that lies within me. // What he desires... / ...and what he chooses.

242
Sakura: Me too. / I want to see the other self that lies within me again. // But... / I can't go with you... // ...can I...?
Syaoran: Sakura...
Sakura: I want to go with you, but if I were to do so, your journey would only be more painful... / ...That's what I dreamed. // I don't... / ...want everyone to have to go through all that pain any more, so... / ...I'll stay.

243
Sakura: Um... / There's one thing I have to say to you before you do go. // Something I've been wanting to say for a long time. / I... / ...love...

244-245
Syaoran: Sakura... / ...I love you.

246-247
Sakura: I... / ...love you too.

248
Fai: Ehmmm... did we maybe get here a little too soon?
Syaoran/Sakura: ?!
Mokona: Kurogane re~ally doesn't know how to be sensitive to other people~!
Kurogane: You're the ones who dragged me here in the first place!
Syaoran: Why are you...
Fai: Well, Mokona told us that this was where you'd be, so... // [aside]hey there![/aside]
Kurogane: Yeah, and you used magic to stop us from making a sound... / You were just being a dirty eavesdropper!
Mokona: [aside]well, you know~![/aside]
Fai: [aside]right~?![/aside]
Kurogane: So... / You're setting out on a journey, right?

249
Syaoran: ...That's right. / Are you...
Fai: Well, you know me... / It's not like I have a home to go back to any more! / I have my magic back, too, and I'm a pretty good cook... / I'd like to think it's a pretty good deal, so... how about it?
Kurogane: I'm going.
Mokona: What about Nihon Country?
Kurogane: I did tell Tomoyo already I'd be gone for a while. // Besides... // I still have to give that guy and the princess... / ...a proper beating.

250
Mokona: Awww~! You don't have to be so violent~!
Fai: I know, right~?
Mokona: I'm coming, too! // After all, you can't journey across dimensions without me! / ...Although you do have Fai...
Fai: Eh, doing that really takes it out of me...
Mokona: Oh, and also! // This is something the other Mokona has been keeping safe this whole time. // It's got memories stored inside it!

251
Mokona: Precious, precious memories belonging to all kinds of different people! / The memories inside here will lead you back to all the different people who remember you. // And the biggest of them all - the memories of the Sakura who's stuck inside Sakura right now... / ...will lead you back here to Clow Country more often than any other world!

252-253
Mokona: They're all... // ...waiting for you. // Waiting to see you again!

254
Mokona: The next-biggest after Sakura's is Watanuki's memories... / ...so you'll visit the shop plenty as well! // You'll be able to see Mokona too... / ...so don't worry!
Syaoran: ...Thank you.

255
Sakura: As long as you're together... // ...I know you'll be all right.

256-257

258
Mokona: Thanks for the clothes!

[Insert text: "You mustn't let yourself be hurt. In heart, or body..." // As Watanuki continues to grant others' wishes in his eternal time, his friends worry for him. So that their bonds may stop him from being "alone". So that his wish may be granted through their feelings combined.]

[Side text: At the price of his own time, Watanuki became the owner of the shop. Unable to leave its confines, he casts his mind into the world of dreams, where who should await him but...?]

Haruka: Good evening. / Watanuki-kun.
Watanuki: Good evening, Haruka-san.

4
Haruka: Has Shizuka been imposing himself upon you again today?
Watanuki: He ate tea with us and even helped himself to a nightcap. // I daresay he's either sleeping in the guest room I used to use, or getting down to some of his work for the university about now.
Haruka: He never changes, that boy...
Watanuki: Well, he's grown physically, at least. // You look much younger than him these days, you know, Haruka-san.
Haruka: Well, I'm still just the same age... / ...as I always was.

5
Haruka: And of course... // ...so are you. // So, you had a customer today?
Watanuki: Yes. / A woman with a shamisen.
Haruka: And did you manage to grant her wish?

Watanuki: Just about.

Haruka: It doesn't look like you're injured.
Watanuki: I already heard that from Mokona.
Haruka: And Shizuka?
Watanuki: ...He's the most persistent of all.
Haruka: As I said, he never changes!
Watanuki: But really... I haven't been getting injured because of my work at the shop at all recently.

7
Watanuki: You've taught me plenty of things yourself, after all. // Here in these dreams.
Haruka: All that I've taught you is how to use dreams to obtain the information you need... // ...and a few techniques for making use of the items you have in the shop storeroom.
Watanuki: You really think it's only a "few"?
Haruka: Well, relatively speaking. / Though the rest mostly comes down to making effective use of what you already know. // Besides which, none of it would be possible without the power you naturally possess.

8
Haruka: You never accepted any price for all the time you spent working as an assistant in this shop. / Even though she had promised you that in exchange, she would remove your ability to see the supernatural and stop them from being drawn to your blood.
Watanuki: I still needed those things to succeed her as owner.
Haruka: True enough.

9
Haruka: You always possessed powerful abilities, from the moment you were born. / But they were never put to use. // It could well be that she had sealed them away. // Nonetheless, there were many beings drawn to the scent of your blood... / ...and so the power of your eyes alone were left intact. // After all, if you could not see them, then you would be unable to even flee from danger.

10
Haruka: When you declined to accept the price you had earned... / ...the power that slept within you was released, and it is still growing, even now. // Your inability to leave this very unique place is only accelerating that process. You understand this, yes?
Watanuki: I do.

11
Haruka: Strong power... / ...does not only bring happiness, you know.
Watanuki: It's far more common for it to bring disaster. / That's right, isn't it? // That was the first thing you ever taught me, Haruka-san.
Haruka: Yet... / ...even so?
Watanuki: Yes. / Even so.

12
Haruka: I always thought our Shizuka was the stubborn one, but you're not half stubborn yourself, eh?
Watanuki: Oh, please. He's far worse than me.
Haruka: Hahaha...

[Insert text: A never-before-seen... transformed Samehada!!]
Sab: His sword just transformed...!
Samehada: Gggghhhhhhh!!
KillerBee: Mlgph... // Hoshigaki... Kisame.
Kisame: Ink from your mouth......? / You really are the octopus freak they say you are.
KillerBee: I'll leave you crying for mommy! / You shark freak!

2
KillerBee: YAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Sab: (The Bijuu cloak... and with seven chakra tails...! / It looks like Bee really is getting serious!)
KillerBee: Did you know?

3
Kisame: Know what?
KillerBee: Octopuses... eat sharks!
Sab: The sword dodged him!

4
Samehada: Ggggghaaaaaghhhhh!!!
Kisame: Well, it looks like today it's going to be the shark eating the octopus.
Sab: (He drained Bee's chakra again... and that sword of his got even bigger!)
KillerBee: (That sword of his, "Samehada", is a glutton through and through. It sure does eat a lot, and it's quick about it, too... // But it looks like the most it can eat in one go is six tails' worth of Chakra.........)

5
KillerBee: If that's how it goes with this version in play... // ...I guess my next version should win me the day.
Choujuurou: There it is, Mizukage-sama. // This is the next one.
Mizukage: Judging from the flow of the markings, Ao must have gone this way. / Let's hurry on forward.
Choujuurou: Yes, ma'am!
Fuu!Ao: Nghh...!

6
Fuu!Ao: Ugh...... This isn't working...
Ao: Give it up... that's a barrier ninjutsu that can only be broken by Hunter-nin of the Mist village's ANBU. // This is the one precious Byakugan that the Mist possesses... // You're not going to be able to take it back that easily.
Fuu!Ao: A barrier that activates automatically when the eye is in danger... / Just the kind of thing a corpse-disposal unit would think up. // ...I was never expecting it to be "easy"... / If I gouge out your eye, then the eye of my own physical body too will be crushed... you should know that.
Ao: (Danzou's orders... Just what does that man take his subordinates for?)

7
Fuu!Ao: A single one of my eyes is a trivial price to pay for the reduction in the Mist's military capacity this would yield. / Though it would seem this barrier is preventing me from accomplishing that for the moment. // Still, there are always other ways of accomplishing my objective.
Ao: What are you planning?
Fuu!Ao: I will leap from here and sever this head from its body. // If I cannot retrieve the eye alone, then I will simply have to bring the entire head back to Konoha.
Ao: You mean to die?
Fuu!Ao: No... I will release the mind-control technique the instant before the head is severed. // You will be dead... and once I am restored to my body, I will be able to return to this place, / and retrieve your head myself.
Ao: As you wish... but I would suggest you take care how you go about it. / Otherwise you're liable to fail.
Fuu!Ao: And what do you mean by that?

8
Ao: If you happen to release the technique even an instant too soon... // ...then I will block that blade without fail!!
Fuu!Ao: .........
Ao: And if you do fail to take my life... // ...then when you ultimately return here to retrieve my head, I will be the one in control of the situation!
Fuu!Ao: Hah...
Kisame: This is the first time I have ever seen Samehada grow so large. // He certainly does seem to be enjoying himself.

9
Hachibi: (Let me join the fight! Transform now, Bee!)
KillerBee: (Not a chance, dumbass! When I do that, my attacks get so damn big I can't even control where they're aiming properly! // Sab-chan-sensei and Ponta are here too, you know! // Besides, I've only just managed to hide myself away! If I were to bring you out now, it would be like telling the whole world "Hey, guys! Hachibi Killer Bee is here!")
Hachibi: (It isn't like you to screw about like this, Bee! / What do you plan on doing, then? Fighting him with Version 2?)
KillerBee: (Damn right~!♪ But it looks like this guy really has been sucking out all my chakra... I'll be needing to borrow some of yours!)
Hachibi: (Bah! Without me, you'd have lost a long time ago!)
KillerBee: (You're a cheeky one, all right... but you have my thanks anyway, oh yeah~~~~!♪)

10
KillerBee: The~~~~re we go......
Kisame: Bijuu transformation?
Sab: (No! This isn't transformation... / He's compressing the Bijuu's chakra into a human form...)

11
KillerBee: LARIAT!!!!
Samehada: KKHHHHGGGHHHHHH!!
Kisame: (Samehada's getting so excited he's almost losing it...... the volume and quality of Chakra here is way beyond what he was using before...... // That's the second-most-powerful of the Bijuu for you... To think that he can control all of this Chakra and still stay sane... // It's too much for us to consume, that's for sure......)

12-13
[no text just thwack]

14
Sab: He did it!!!
Hachibi: To think he could force me back into this form......... / He's one massive glutton, and no mistake!
Kisame: You got me...... good there...
Sab: He's still alive! Quickly, finish him off!

15
Sab/Hachibi: ?!
Kisame: The stronger... my opponent, the stronger I myself become... // I never tire...... and I never fall.
Sab: His sword steals chakra from his opponent... // ...and transfers it to the wielder in the form of stamina...?!
Kisame: That's why... people have taken to calling me the "Tailless Bijuu"......

16
Kisame: Suiton: Daibakusui Shouha!!
[TN: Water Element: Mega Water Burst Shock Wave]
Sab: Guahh!!!
Kisame: The longer the battle proceeds, the more you wear yourselves out, the more your chakra is carved away... // But at the same time, as I carve away that chakra, I only get stronger.
Sab: Bee! You're going to have to steal that sword from him! // It's the key to his strength! There's no other way!
KillerBee: ?!

17
Kisame: Feel free to try... if you can extract it from my body.

Period 270: Your Answer!
[Insert text: The tale of his father and mother complete, the question of a newfound unresolved grudge remains...]
Flashback!Takahata: ...So why not drop it? / For today, at least... // Just let this be a happy end.
Negi: Father... // Mo...ther...
Nodoka: Th - Th - Th - / Thank goodness~~~~~~~~~! I was really worried for a while there...! // I'm so glad that Arika-sama was saved and they ended up together and... / ...and it all ended happily~~~~!
Chisame: [aside]well, if they didn't survive, Sensei wouldn't exactly have been born...[/aside]
Sayo: [aside]did you get all that~?[/aside]
Asakura: [aside]sure did! the others can't miss this stuff![/aside]
Gödel: Ah... ahahh...

2
Gödel: Aahhhh... no matter how many times I watch it, that part always gets me...
Girls: (Is he... crying~~~?!)
Gödel: But yes, don't worry... / Just about everything in this film is accurate. // Even the scenes with Nagi and Arika-sama alone together were constructed based on detailed information from both parties involved.
Nodoka: (This man...) // ...... // Kurt-san... // You had feelings for Arika-sama, didn't you?
Gödel: Hm?
Nodoka: ...Ah... I knew it...
Gödel: ...That's quite enough of that...

3
Chisame: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... don't tell me that's the real reason behind all the stuff you're up to.
Gödel: Hahahahaha... / You certainly are attentive girls, I'll give you that... but we seem to be straying from the topic at hand somewhat, so I'll just ignore that. / Now, then... // How did you find it, Negi-kun? / The atrocious actions of the Megalomesembrian Senate. // I hope this has helped you to understand just how much your father and mother... / ...truly did for the world?
Asakura: I'm still not seeing what exactly your point is.
Gödel: Well, naturally... / ...that would be to aid Negi-kun's search for his father and mother by revealing the truth to him... // ...and once he has come to fully understand the situation, have him continue where the two of them left off. // Come, Negi-kun... fight together with us. // Continue what your father and mother began, and save the world. / This is the only logical conclusion of your journey here.

4
Negi: (The conclusion... of my journey? // Arika-sama... // Mother... // She was such a strong person... why didn't anybody tell me earlier? // The "Queen of Calamity"... I don't care about that in the slightest... // And Father... // He really was just like I always imagined. // Always the straightforward hero... // Showing up right when my mother was in trouble... // It's thanks to the two of them that I exist today... // Learning that alone makes this journey more than worthwhile... // Truly... // Truly worthwhile...)

5
Gödel: What reason have you to hesitate? It should be obvious now that your enemy is the Megalomesembrian Senate. / They abused Arika-sama as a pawn in their foul games... // ...all for the sake of obtaining the land of Ostia and the Twilight Imperial Princess for themselves. // And once they failed in that attempt, they next targeted Arika-sama's orphan; yourself... / You understand what that means, I hope? // Yes... in doing battle with them, you can both protect your mother's honour... / ...and accomplish your own revenge at the same time!!
Negi: ...!!
Gödel: And you can also pave the way forward; create a new future. The ideals you should pursue... the will you should succeed... to proceed along the same path as your father and mother... / There can only be one answer. // Come, fight together with me! For the sake of the world!!
Negi: ... // (Father... / Mother...)

Gödel: Your answer? // I see no remaining reason for you to hesitate.
Flashback!Takahata: Kurt... we can do the rest ourselves.

Flashback!Takahata: ...So why not drop it? / For today, at least... // Just let this be a happy end.
Yuuna: Wo~~~~~w!! // Man, that sure was one happy end! That's just... wow!
Makie: Aahhhh... thank goodness... they got to be together in the end... / [aside]happily ever after...[/aside]
Ako: [aside]I was really worried when she was all captured and everything... / [aside]that was so romantic...[/aside]
Haruna: Sti~~ll... a tale of love between the Queen of a dead country and the hero of a great war... this stuff's almost too perfect. / [aside]that's Negi's old man for ya...[/aside]
Konoka: Arika-sama's smile at the end was so nice...
Akira: It's so hard to believe that an epic tale like this is actually connected to our Negi-sensei, right...?
Natsumi: [aside]I know... I mean, I'd heard stories, but seeing a younger Takahata-sensei in there is pretty unbelievable too...[/aside]
Makie: Ah - look, look! This is it! This is right where Arika-sama was talking to Nagi!
Yuuna: Ahhh! You're right! It's like... a historic spot! Quick, we should take a photo!
KuFei: Ahhh... Haruna...
Haruna: What?

KuFei: That story was so complicated... // ...I didn't really actually understand it~aru...
Haruna: ...What part?!
Makie: [aside]me too, actually~[/aside]
Natsumi: [aside]same here... the scale was just too huge...[/aside]
KuFei: Well... pretty much all of it...
Haruna: Guaahhhh! / [aside]fine, fine, I'll explain![/aside]
Kotarou: [aside]ahahah...[/aside] // Man, Captain Fei is an idiot...
Haruna: Look, basically, the Megalomesembrian Senate were total bad guys! Like, SUPER ULTRA BAD!!
[Text: ULTRA BAD]
Diagram!Senator: [aside]mwahahahaha[/aside]
[Label: Megalomesembrian Senate]
Haruna: Then there's Arika-sama, who was this total hottie, but the horrible senators used her for their own evil stuff... / And that's where awesome hero Thousand Master Nagi comes in! A thrilling rescue! Then they get married and it's all one big happy end!
[Top arrow: Made her out to be a mega-criminal]
[Bottom arrow: Attacked his village]
[Labels: Arika // Nagi // Negi]
[Above heart: Married]
[Above Nagi: HERO]
Haruna: And then the two of them ended up having a kid, and that was Negi-kun, but it turns out the real bad guys who attacked Negi-kun's village were the horrible Megalomesembrian Senate again, so it's like, "oh crap"!! / So basically, these guys have been doing horrible stuff to Negi-kun's family for two whole generations!!
KuFei: Ohh... I see. // So that final-boss guy and Fate and all those guys weren't Negi's dad's enemies after all~aru...?
Haruna: They were all enemies too!
KuFei: Hmmmmm... This is complicated...
Haruna: What's so complicated?! Surely this stuff is simple! / [aside]there's all sorts of stories where you think you've beaten the final boss but then it just moves up to the next level![/aside]
Emily: I - I - I - I - I - I - I - I - I...
Haruna: Hm?

Emily: I cannot believe this glorious tale has been kept from us for so long...! // The atrocities committed by those Megalomesembrian Council fiends are unforgivable!! // There is nothing for it but to report every last detail of this... / ...directly to the highest authorities of Ariadne, and turn this into an international incident!!

Emily: [aside]ahh - ! what do you think you are doing?! / get off me, you beast![/aside]
Haruna: Hold it~~~! You! Memory-loss girl!! // What are you even doing here at all?! / With your friends and everything!
Yue: We couldn't wait, so we ended up heading out here. // Still... // If the contents of this movie are true, then Negi...san... / ...really is a deeply important figure here in the Magical World in all kinds of different ways...

10
Haruna: What do you mean by that, Yue?
Emily: WHO EXACTLY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE SUDDENLY USING YUE'S NAME WITHOUT ANY HONORIFICS YOU PRESUMPTUOUS LITTLE~~
Haruna: Guaaaaaaahh?! What the heck's with this girl?! Y - Yue~~~~!
Emily: [aside]you're doing it again, you little - [/aside]
Haruna: [aside]we're best friends, all right?! best friends![/aside]
Emily: [aside]whaaaaaaat?![/aside]
Chamo: GIVE IT A REST ALREADY~~~~!
Yue: Well, simply being the son of the hero Nagi and the Queen of Calamity Arika obviously gave him serious significance already... / ...but it would appear that Negi-san himself may also have an important value of his own.
Haruna: Ohh~~?
Yue: It is said that the very first Queen of this world's oldest Royal Family, the line of Ostia, was a mage by the name of Amateru, a well-known figure in fairy tales and the like. / [aside]She's also famous because of this statue, which became the basis for the Pactio system.[/aside] // It is said that she was the daughter of the Creator, and also that those who continue her bloodline inherit a mysterious power known as the "Magic of the Ancients". // And the war served as proof that these legends are true. // The power of the royal line was directly used as a weapon.
Emily: This is the first I've heard of anything like that...
Yue: It's generally considered top-secret. My Orbis Sensualium Pictus has the ability to retrieve even Level A classified information.

11
Yue: But if Negi-san is the final living member of that royal line... // ...then I think you should all be able to see how his very existence possesses a critical significance.
Natsumi: Wow... Negi-kun really is kind of incredible, huh...
Chachamaru: So it would seem...
Yuuna: Actually, weren't they saying something about the royal line's power in the movie as well?
Makie: [aside]did they?[/aside]
Ako: [aside]oh, I think I remember something like that...[/aside]
Akira: Wasn't there something about a "Twilight Imperial Princess"...?
Chamo/Setsuna/Konoka: !!
Kotarou: Oh, yeah, I remember that! That's the girl the Thousand Master was always calling "Princess-chan", right? I think...
Haruna: Mm-hm! I actually laughed when they mentioned the real name of that "Princess-chan" in the movie just now! What a crazy coincidence... // I mean, "Princess Asuna"...!
Shiori!Asuna: Eh...?

12
Imma: ...And that's the story.
Eishun: Ahhh, that certainly takes me back... // You wouldn't catch us doing crazy things like that these days, eh? Hahaha...
Imma: Ahahah. Don't you recall, Eishun? / There was that little incident in Kyoto with the Ryoumen Sukuna no Kami that caused all kinds of... / [aside]ahaha[/aside] // Hmm? // You certainly seem to be tetchy today, Kitty.
Eva: Hmph. // So I suppose he was already married when he first met me fifteen years ago... Haha. / Heheheheh... that would explain why my charms failed to sway him...
Imma: Kitty... / Relax.

13
Imma: I doubt you would have been able to sway him regardless of the circumstances. // [aside]such a lovely smile you have. not a trace of Shinso menace.[/aside]
Eva: I see you have a desire to die, book-man. // Still, that boy... he may look like his father, but it would seem on the inside he's more like his mother. / [aside]ahahah[/aside]
Chachazero: [aside]pretty much.[/aside]
Chachamaru': ...
Imma: Hahaha... true enough.
Eva: [aside]hmph[/aside] // ... // Come to think of it, that... Gödel, was he called?
Imma: Yes. // [aside]you have never actually met him yourself, have you?[/aside]
Eva: He sounds like a rather pleasant sort of man. // I'm sure he and our ever-so-serious boy will make a wonderful combination.
Shiori!Asuna: Hm?

14
Sayo: Hello~! / How's it going, everyone?!
Chamo: Just perfect, Sayocchi!
Haruna: The spirit waves were a bit dodgy during the first part, but we managed to watch most of the film about Negi's mum and dad just fine! // Great work, Sayo-chan! // Heheheh... And to think, none of them have any idea that their top-secret meeting is being spied on through the power of super-plain ghost Sayo-chan's spiritual body...

Sayo: Y - Yes, I think everything should be all right... // Asakura-san, Nodoka-san and Chisame-san... / ...the three of them sorted it all out. They were incredible!
Yuuna: What's the situation?
Sayo: It looks like that important man with the glasses is asking Negi to join him...
People: Join him?! What the heck?
Sayo: He's given Negi just three minutes to make his decision...

15
Shiori!Asuna: Join forces with that creepy glasses freak?! / No way!! Forget it!! // He's totally a bad guy!
Konoka: I don't know... // He seemed like a pretty nice sorta guy in the movie!
Makie: [aside]yeah, you're right...[/aside]
Konoka: It looked like he had a bit of a thing for Arika-sama, too.
Shiori!Asuna: He's just trying to trick you~~~! / [aside]even if he did like Arika-sama, he's still a creep![/aside]
Haruna: Nah, I'd say it's more a case of a straightforward, honest guy being twisted into a monster by the pressures of society. // You know, the old becoming-the-very-thing-you're-trying-to-fight deal.
Yuuna: Ohhhh, that would make sense! / [aside]I mean, I could hardly believe that kid and the glasses-freak we know were even the same guy...[/aside]
Haruna: At any rate, I think it's about time we all make sure we're ready to move. // If discussions break down, things are probably going to get messy fast. // C'mon, you get ready to move as well, Yue.
Yue: Eh...?

Customer: I said before, did I not? // When one cannot see, things become easier to understand.
Watanuki: ......
Customer: As a cat is born into the world as a cat... / ...doubtless she never even dreamed that she might become a shamisen. // However, / it was in this form that she first came before me. // As such, // I have poured all of my resolution as a player of the shamisen into playing her.

[Side text: The love that this woman feels for "her", she now plays through the medium of words. This gentle timbre resonates powerfully in Watanuki's heart!!]
Customer: Even if it may be that I am merely interpreting matters in a way convenient to myself... // ...and she herself does not truly appreciate it in the slightest.
Watanuki: ...This shamisen... / ...sought its most dearly beloved not as a cat, but as a shamisen. / I believe that to be the answer. // That must be... / ...why the music that you and this shamisen make together is so beautiful.

3
Customer: Thank you. // ...I see that you too have something to which you have dedicated your entire self.
Watanuki: ...Indeed I do. // I have made my decision.

4
Customer: That must be why your voice too is beautiful.
Watanuki: Now you really are speaking too highly of me.
Customer: Now, then. / Since my wish has been granted, I suppose I must express my thanks. // I believe this shop requires some manner of "price"?
Watanuki: ...Yes.
[SFX: touch]

5
Customer: Would she herself... // ...be sufficient?
Watanuki: Eh?
Customer: Or would that not be enough?
Watanuki: No, I mean... / Surely that shamisen is very precious to you...!
Customer: Is that not the very reason why it might serve as an appropriate price?

6
Watanuki: It is too much.
Customer: In that case...
[SFX: clink]
Customer: Perhaps I could take this?
Watanuki: But that's...
Customer: It may be broken, but it is still precious. / To me, at least.

Watanuki: That's right.
Mokona: ...Was it the right value?
Watanuki: Nothing in particular happened when I decided to accept it...
[SFX: blow]
Watanuki: ...so I suppose so.

11
Mokona: Prices have to be exactly the right value. / You can't take more or less than is necessary. // Yuuko always used to say that.
Watanuki: So I hear.
Mokona: That didn't stop you from taking too little from your customers all the time when you started out, and getting injured as a result. / In order to account for the difference.
Watanuki: I didn't do that because I wanted to. / These days, I make sure to use this eye and the power that rests in my bloodline to check if a price is appropriate before accepting it.

12
Mokona: ...You'd still grant the wish, though. Even if it wasn't enough.
Watanuki: Nah, that's not true. How many years do you think I've been running this shop for now?
Mokona: It doesn't matter how many years pass. You're still who you are. / There are things that change, and things that don't. // That's why everyone's always worried. / About you hurting yourself again.
Watanuki: There really wasn't any problem this time. / Really - does it look like I'm injured at all?
Mokona: Even if it worked out this time, that doesn't mean it will next time. / You said the same thing that time you almost died.
Watanuki: Almost dying is one thing. Dying is another.

13
Watanuki: I made a promise that I would stay here granting wishes. / A promise with Yuuko-san. // I promised to wait here in this shop until we meet again. / So you see... // I won't die.

Watanuki: That blue earring you wear...
Mokona: You don't have to worry about that. / The Mokona who's with Syaoran and the others is wearing it. // Mokona and Mokona are the same... // ...so we don't need a price to share things with each other. // And the memories stored inside that earring... / ...will be sure to lead them to all the people... / ...they want to meet.

Doumeki: The shamisen is made from catskin, right? // Well... makes sense.
Watanuki: ...Yeah.

Watanuki: To play a shamisen, you need a bachi. / And this is the only bachi we have in the shop.
Doumeki: Has that thing been here for a long time?
Watanuki: Yeah. / Since before I became owner, at least. // So I don't know anything about its history. // But I'm sure it has its own reasons for being here.

Watanuki: This shamisen... // There's something within it.

2
[Side text: Without a moment's hesitation, Watanuki discerns the presence of "something" within the instrument the woman presents. As the new owner of the shop that grants wishes, will he demonstrate his skills?!]
Customer: Indeed. // Or perhaps... // ...it would be more accurate to sae... / ...it is "still alive". // Would you happen to be aware... / ...from what the skin of a shamisen is taken?
Watanuki: A cat... / ...I believe.

3
Customer: Indeed. // The skin from the underbelly of a cat. // However, due to the high cost of creating such an instrument, they are rarely made with catskin nowadays. / Modern shamisen are more commonly made with dogskin instead. // Dogskin is favoured in the Tsugaru-jamisen style of music, since it requires the ability to produce powerful notes... // ...but in most other areas, catskin is generally considered superior.

4
Customer: It is said to produce the highest quality of shamisen, one must use a female cat. // A female with pristine skin, without scratch or blemish... / A truly beautiful specimen.
Watanuki: ...Yes, she must have been a very beautiful cat...
[SFX: mya~~ng]

5
Customer: She is happy. / It seems she has taken a liking to you.
Watanuki: That's very nice to hear...
Customer: It's true. // She had been very agreeable, lending me her beautiful voice for such a long time... / ...but about ten days ago, she fell utterly silent all of a sudden. // That she is responding like this... // ...must mean that bringing her to this shop was the correct decision.

6
[SFX: mya~~~~ng]

7
Customer: You see?
Watanuki: ...So it would seem. // Do you have any idea... / ...why it is that she fell silent?
Customer: Yes. // Because she was crafted into this form with all of her beauty intact... / ...she wishes to meet once more... // ...with that with she loved most dearly.

8
Doumeki: So what's the deal?
[SFX: glance]
Watanuki: Apparently, when choosing a cat to use in the manufacture of a shamisen, it's best for the skin to be untainted. // Which is why in the case of a female cat, they tend to choose virgin specimens.

9
Doumeki: ...Because female cats tend to sustain injuries in the act of intercourse?
Watanuki: Don't put it so bluntly.
Doumeki: You would've preferred me to put it wittily?
[SFX: pour]
Watanuki: ...That would be even worse.
Doumeki: So... / It doesn't make any sound at all? // That shamisen.

10
Watanuki: Not a single note... / ...since then.
[SFX: clink]
Watanuki: I suppose she's just refusing to play until she's able to meet... // ...with "that which she loved most"...

11
Watanuki: What would be so beloved to a cat, anyway?
Doumeki: Another cat, I would have thought.
[SFX: blow~~~~]
Watanuki: I suppose it would be simplest to just ask her.

Sakura: What's that supposed to mean?! Are you telling me you don't think a confession of love is important enough for you?!! // Why would I "come all the way out here"?! // I'll tell you why I would! // You're always thinking about nothing but Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun!

Reborn: What are you panicking for all of a sudden, idiot.
Tsuna: We haven't even thought up a strategy or anything~~!!
Tazaru: .........?!
Tsuna: Aaahhhhh~~~!! What should we do~~?!!
Nosaru: What's with him?
Gamma: It's hard to believe that this is the same boy who saved the Princess... // What's the deal with him?
Gokudera: The Tenth is just explaining the current situation in easy-to-grasp terms!
Gamma: Hm... // The most suitable strategist for a defensive battle such as this... // ...would be the former Captain of the Melone Base, Irie Shouichi, don't you think?
Irie: Eh?! // M... Me?!

5
Gokudera: Don't be stupid!! // The Tenth will think up the strategy himself!!
Irie: I'm afraid Gokudera-kun is correct.
Gokudera: !
Irie: After my failure in the Choice game, I have no right to this role. / The decisions in this battle should be left to the Boss of the Vongola, Tsunayoshi-kun.
Tsuna: Ehh?! / L... Look, I'm not a boss or anything!! // I've never said anything about actually becoming the boss, okay?!!
Reborn: What do you think you're babbling on about? // I'll stick a bullet through your head.
Tsuna: Aahhh! // Hold it, hold it... wait!! Time out, time out!!
Gamma: ......... // I really can't seem to understand him... this Vongola Tenth boy.
Gokudera: Well, I wouldn't expect you to, you outsider who's only known him for a few hours!! // The Tenth is a deep and complicated guy!!

6
Tsuna: Erm... then... // Would you help me work out the strategy at least, Shouichi-kun? / I'd like you to lend me your assistance!!
Irie: Absolutely. If those are your orders as Boss... // ...then I'll gladly comply. // Let's see... first of all, I'd like to confirm exactly what fighting forces we have at our disposal. // The members I would say are too injured to be fighting on the front lines... // ...are Gokudera-kun, Basil-kun... // ...Lal Mirch... // ...Ryouhei-kun... // ...Nozaru, and Tazaru.
People: Come off it!! // We can still fight!! // These wounds are nothing!!
Reborn: Shut up.
People: ..................
Irie: A... Ahahah...

7
Irie: Well then, next, let's see what Box Weapons we have available to us.
Gamma: Hey... I'm pretty sure I saw a Delfino di Pioggia in the battle earlier. Whose Box is that?
Irie: ?!
Basil: ...... // That would be my Alfin...
Gamma: Has it been Brain Coated with any other Box Weapons?
Basil: "Brain Coated"...?
Gamma: Huh, you don't know about that...? It's a system created specifically for the high-intelligence Delfino di Pioggia... // ...also known as the "Inter-Box Combination Activation System". // The Delfino di Pioggia can make use of its high operative capacity and its special ability to transmit its brainwaves in order to link together the minds of its fellow Box Weapons. // It allows you to maximise coordination between Box Weapons, and occasionally form new and unique special combination attacks.
Irie: Of course...!! // I'd forgotten all about that!!
Basil: Come to think of it, it's mentioned in this companion book, as well...
Tsuna: Special combination attacks... // That sounds... pretty incredible!!
Gamma: Well, there's no point not making use of it! Everybody open up your Box Weapons!
Tsuna: R... Right!!

Basil: Right. // Here goes, then!!

Nuts: Rarr...

Gamma: Ugh... what's wrong with this troupe of student performers? // I don't know how you managed to survive this long with such a group of brats...
Uni: It's precisely because they're like this. // This bright, playful nature... // ...is what has enabled them to come this far without falling apart.
Lal: Uni... // I'll leave this with you for the moment.
Uni: Thank you...
Reborn: Gamma.

12
Byakuran: It's almost time. / Time to get Uni-chan back. // Let's put an end to this little game with the Vongola.
Kikyou: Yes, sir. // Torikabuto was successful in planting a specialised type of "flame powder" upon Uni-sama, which cannot be removed for three days. // With this as our guide, we have been able to pinpoint Uni-sama's location; it is precisely five kilometres from our current position.

13
Kikyou: We will begin by travelling close to the ground, so as not to be detected... // ...from three separate directions at once, with the aim of securing Uni-sama.
Byakuran: I will be there myself shortly. // As long as Uni-chan is safe, feel free to use all the force you can muster.
Kikyou: Yes, sir. // We thank you for your kind words!!
Byakuran: Well, then... // Good luck!

14
Zakuro: (Stupid fools... // I'm gonna be first to the mark!!) // !

Zakuro: !!

16
Zakura: Ngahh!

17
Lal: (Did we get him...?)

Chikusa: That is not our objective... Ken...

Tsuna: ......Still, I never expected... / ...to end up coming back to the forest where I first arrived here in the future...
Reborn: Well, there wasn't much choice, right? Since the estate agent's was burned to the ground.
Tsuna: How are we going to explain that to old man Kawahira...?
Reborn: "It was burned to the ground".
Tsuna: That's not exactly...!!
Fuuta: At any rate, thanks to all the explosions during the battles with the Millefiore, the town in general is in quite a state, so we can't exactly go back there.
Tsuna: Do you think the townspeople are okay? I'm kind of worried about the Vongola base being discovered by the police, as well...
Fuuta: Giannini was saying that there are plenty of precautions in place to deal with all that, so there's nothing to worry about.
Tsuna: I hope Yamamoto, Hibari and the others make it over here soon, as well...

Gamma: ...You look like you're thinking about saying something.
Gokudera: ...I never thought you'd still be alive.

Nosaru: The hell was that?!! // You pickin' a fight with my bro?!
Irie: Y... You wish... // ...to resort to violence......?
Uni: Enough, Nosaru!!

9
Uni: Get along nicely, all of you!
Nosaru: Princess!! // We're getting along just fine! // See?! We're all best friends, yeah?!
Uni: I must apologise, Irie-san.
Irie: Oh, no...! // I... I went too far myself!
Uni: Here you go, Lal-san... have some water.
Lal: ...Thank you. // ......... // You really do look just like her... // Your grandmother... Luce......

10
Reborn: I know, right?
Uni: Uncle Reborn told me the same thing.
Tsuna: So you know Uni's grandmother as well, Lal...?
Lal: Uni... do you... // ...know about what happened at the birth of the Arcobaleno?
Tsuna: !!
Uni: ...Yes... // I have inherited it in my memory fragments...
Tsuna: ("Inherited"...?)
Lal: Luce possessed... a strange ability to perceive what was to come. // Do you have it too?
Gamma: !
Tsuna: T... // To see the future...?!
Uni: I had that ability, once... // But recently, it has become weak.

11
Gamma: (!! ...I see... // That explains why she didn't see Torikabuto's attack coming...)
Uni: But the same thing goes for Byakuran.
Lal: !
Irie: !
Uni: He, too, is feeling his ability fading in power.
Irie: Byakuran-san's ability?! // His ability to observe parallel worlds?
Uni: Indeed. // At the present stage, he should only be able to obtain a single piece of information at a time, and that at the cost of a great deal of bodily stress...
Reborn: It has to be Byakuran's ability that allowed them to find the Kawahira Estate Agency.
Uni: If so, then he should not be able to use it again for a while.
Tsuna: ...But why would both of you become unable to do what you could do before?
Uni: I suspect...

12
Uni: ...it is a case of our power running dry... // Our conditions declining.
Tsuna: Wha...?!! // Your conditions...?!!
Haru: But Uni-chan, you look just fine, surely!
Uni: From the moment a person is born into the world, he or she proceeds inevitably along the path to death...... // It comes to everyone sooner or later; that is a law of nature.
Lal: ...True... and the Sky Arcobaleno has always been short-lived...
Tsuna: Eh?!
Reborn/Gamma: !

13
Gamma: ! // (Don't tell me... Princess, you...)
Uni: This is also the root of the reason why Byakuran is searching for me so desperately.
Tsuna: !
Uni: He wants to draw out the true power of the Trinisette and make it his own without a moment's delay. // That is why he is becoming extremely impatient.
Byakuran: Hm?

14
Byakuran: Mukuro-kun beat us to the mark... // ...and escaped from the Vindice jail instead? // Hmm... // It looks like we've been played for fools by a Vongola illusionist... // Hahahaha... / I never knew Mukuro-kun had an ally of that nature on his side...... // Ah, well. No matter. // Just as long as you do what I asked you to in the first place, I won't complain. // I'll organise things with the Vindice one more time... // So get Ghost out of there without a moment's delay!

15
Uni: I cannot imagine what Byakuran might do in his current state... // He will do anything and everything in his power to obtain me again.
Tsuna: Th... // That's terrible...!!
Irie: I never knew...... // So that's why he was getting impatient......
Reborn: But how do you know that it's not just your own power that's weakening, but Byakuran's as well?
Uni: I just know. // It's difficult to explain...... // But he and I are alike... // Ah... // Though in a way, he and Sawada-san are also very alike.
Tsuna: Wha?!! // I'm similar to Byakuran~~?!

16
Uni: And also... // There is something of which I need to inform you all.
Tsuna: ?
Uni: I will no longer run.
Tsuna: Eh?!
Reborn: !!
Gamma: !!
Tsuna: Th... That's no good... you can't give up!! // Not when we've managed to come this far!!
Uni: It is not a case of giving up.
Tsuna: Eh?!
Uni: There is one thing that I have known for a very long time...... // Namely, that this would be the place where the final battle with Byakuran takes place... // Tomorrow...

17
Uni: The battle that comes with the dawn will bring an end to everything.

7
Unohana: How was it?
Ichigo: Nothing worth talking about... / He was just insanely powerful. // I didn't stand a chance. // He crushed me without a second glance. / Didn't even use his Shikai.
Unohana: ...That is very good to hear.

Byakuya: ...Why do you choose to remain in this place? / Kurotsuchi Mayuri.
Mayuri: Well. / I hardly think that you would have any great interest in the answer to such a question.
Byakuya: The human world must surely hold a greater variety of phenomena to pique your interests than exist here. / I wish to hear what manner of intentions might motivate you to nonetheless remain in Hueco Mundo.
Mayuri: Ah. / How cautious of you. // But worry not. / I am plotting nothing of the sort that might make your blood run cold.

14
Mayuri: ...It is simple. / The number of interesting corpses for me to analyse merely happens to be greater here than in the human world at this point in time. // That is the only reason. // Once the battle in the human world has finished, I do not doubt that the others will open a Garganta of their own accord. // At that point, I will return to the human world... / ...locate the remains of those who have died there... // ...and examine them one by one, at my own precious pace...! // ...What now?
Ichigo: What...?!

15
Unohana: That is correct. / The condition for the activation of Kyouka Suigetsu... // ...is that the target must witness the moment of its Shikai release. // All members of the Gotei 13... / ...as well as Urahara Kisuke and his allies in the real world, with whom I believe you have links, // and even the Arrancar and Espada who currently fight under Aizen Sousuke's own command... / In other words, all of those people who might be expected to take part in the battle in the human world have already witnessed that Shikai release. // With the exception... / ...of precisely one person. // You, Kurosaki Ichigo.

16
Unohana: You possess a level of reiatsu equivalent to that of a Captain... / ...and you have yet to witness the release of Kyouka Suigetsu. / This unique situation gives you an extreme significance in the battle ahead. // In fact... / ...it would perhaps be more accurate to say... / ...that if this unique situation is lost, the battle itself is lost as well. // Kurosaki-san. / No matter what might happen in the battle to come... / ...you must ensure above all else that you do not witness the release of Aizen Sousuke's Shikai. // Without fail.

17
Mayuri: Well? Spit it out! // I am asking you what issue you find! / Answer me!! // If there is something that you wish to say, then say it!! / Well?!
Byakuya: ...It is nothing. // It is just that I had not expected to hear such words coming from you. / I was a little surprised.
Mayuri: ............What?
Byakuya: Your words just now... // ...seemed to imply that your sending Kurosaki Ichigo to the human world ensures that an end will come to this battle.

18
Byakuya: It sounded as though you were suggesting... // ...that you trust in Kurosaki Ichigo to achieve victory.
Ichigo: ...All right. // Thanks for that, Unohana-san. / I'm glad that I got to hear this before the battle begins. // Now I've heard all I need to hear. // ...I'm the only chance you've got, right? // Then there's only one thing left to do.

19
Ichigo: I will... // ...defeat Aizen.

Takanashi: (Whaa~~~~? // Those plain brown nikkorogashi that were just boiled in everyday soy sauce? // Is my mother's cooking really as impressive as all that...?) // I... I don't know about that...... / They were just a few things that my mother dashed together......
Noa: Please! / I simply have to know!

14
Noa: You see... / I really want to get better at cooking for the sake of the person I like. // Please... I'm begging you.
Takanashi: (For the sake of...!)
[SFX: swoon...]
Takanashi: S... So you have someone you like, now, do you...? // That must be nice...
Noa: ...... // ...Do you have anyone like that, then?

15
Takanashi: Y... / Yes... // (It's actually kind of nice to have a talk about romance with another girl for once... // Refreshing, almost......)
Noa: (And would that person happen to be Nii-san...? // ...If it is... // If it is, then... // I'll drive you clean out of this apartment!!)
Takanashi: Hm?
Noa: Ah... // I'll just go and get the ingredients from next door!

16
Takanashi: Oh... // P...... Potatoes can be a little difficult to peel, can't they~~ // (E... // Eh?)
Noa: So, that person we were talking about before, the one who you like... // Is it somebody very close to you?
Takanashi: Hm? // Y... Yes...

17
Takanashi: I... It's someone who lives very nearby......... // A wonderful person...
Noa: (True enough... // Nii-san is a very wonderful person.)
[Label: That "very wonderful" Nii-san]
Goushi: G... Gotta do this while Noa isn't here... / [aside]mmm, scented dakimakura~~~~~♡[/aside] // Ahhh, Noa... you smell so good......♡

Takanashi: Yes... // Actually, that's - // - right...!
Noa: Ah!♡ // I'm sorry... my hand slipped!♡

19
Takanashi: Aaaaahhhhhh!!! // Nooo! // Wait - // Stop - !
Goushi: Eh...?
Noa: There are only five households living in this apartment block. / On the ground floor live an elderly couple, and a middle-aged man who transferred here away from his family because of his career. // On the first floor live a creepy otaku... myself and my Nii-san... / ...and you.

20
Noa: By a simple process of elimination, the only possible candidate for the object of your affections is my brother! DO YOU DENY IT~~~~~ // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~?!! // My brother isn't very assertive, you see. / He loves me very much, but is afraid to make a move because we're siblings. / If a girl like you were to come into his life at a critical time like this... // ...he would naturally give up on his feelings for me in favour of pursuing a more acceptable relationship.

21
Noa: And that... / That I cannot accept! // NEVER~~~~~~~~~!
Takanashi: W - Wait......!! // You've got it wrong! The person I like is... // ...It's the creepy otaku!!
[TN: It would have been so much more entertaining if it was Noa. (But I guess that wouldn't explain the yaoi.)]

22
Noa: ...Eh?
Takanashi: I... I've liked him for a long, long time... since long before your brother ever moved in here...

KillerBee: I'm gonna kill ya. / I'll show you the difference between you and me... // So you'd better be ready for what you're gonna see! / My rhymes are -
Sab: Ponta~~~!
Kisame: Well, you certainly seem to be a talkative sort of Jinchuuriki. / Shall I take out this strange bear first, then?

2
Ao: It doesn't look like this is a trap of Danzou's... // (Seems like a technique of that Akatsuki shinobi from back at the summit...) // I'd best hurry onward...
Fuu: It would seem that the technique involves releasing a form of miniscule, chakra-less "clone seeds"... / ...which then attach themselves to beings that do possess chakra, and leech it from them.
Torune: That would explain why you didn't notice... // So... / ...what of the other guy who has been following us this whole way?

3
Fuu: He's tracking us even as we speak... / Although if he falls for my trap, that will be the end of that.
Torune: Yours are no ordinary traps. They'll get him all right.
Danzou: ......I care not whether he lives or dies... but that right eye alone must be retrieved without fail.
Fuu: Yes, sir! // ...Can I ask you to take care of my body for me, Torune?
Ao: ?!

4
Ao: A booby-trap... / Now, this one stinks of Danzou.

5
Ao: ?!
Fuu!Ao: I have you.
Ao: (What's going on? Why am I seeing my own body...?!)
Fuu!Ao: Shinten Kugutsu Juin no Jutsu. // That is the name of this technique.
[TN: "Mind-Transfer Puppet Curse-Seal Technique"]
Ao: (Damn...! // A curse-seal variant on the mind-transfer technique, designed to curse the one who attacks it...?!)

6
Torune: What do you plan on doing next?
Danzou: I will inform you of the aims I mean to pursue once Fuu returns.
Tsuchikage: Well, we've all seen what became of your favourite candidate, Danzou. // So the issue of who to place in command of the Shinobi Alliance still remains! // Is there a suitable candidate amongst the current Kage? // I seem to recall you spoke rather harshly of all of us, Mifune.
Mifune: .........
Mizukage: ......
Gaara: .........

7
Mifune: I would say the Raikage-dono is the most suitable candidate...
Raikage: .........
Tsuchikage: The Raikage? Was he not disqualified for his overreliance on his emotion and strength?
Mifune: We can safely assume that the Hachibi still lives. / The Raikage will likely be able to contain himself better than before. // My earlier words may have been spoken in haste... I ask that you forgive me. // Furthermore, the Raikage-dono has been taking control of the situation effectively for a while now... / ...and was also quick to propose a solution. // Not to mention that he is the only one here capable of controlling the Hachibi, who is likely to be the key to this whole affair.
Tsuchikage: ......... // Mizukage? Kazekage? Are you satisfied with this decision?
Mizukage: This is no time for us to be squabbling over such matters... / I will place my trust in the Raikage-sama.
Gaara: Let us leave this to the Raikage.
Raikage: ......Oonoki of the Dual Scales. // As the only person here with past experience in battle against Uchiha Madara, we need your information.

8
Raikage: Cooperate!
Tsuchikage: You always were one to look down on others and order them about...
Raikage: I do not ask you to trust me... but at this rate, the very shinobi world itself will be destroyed. // You must abandon your personal reservations and cooperate with us to prevent that!
Tsuchikage: ...I suppose it is better than losing this war... // If the shinobi world were to be destroyed, a little conflict with you would hardly seem relevant...... // I will cooperate.

9
Tsuchikage: The Shinobi Alliance is formed! // Our first act should be to explain all this to the daimyo...
Naruto: What......?! // S...... Sakura-chan... what... / ...what did you just say?! // I... I think I must've... not heard you right, so... / ...could you say it again...?

10
Sakura: You heard fine, Naruto... // I said that I really like you! // I couldn't care less about Sasuke-kun any more! / There was something wrong with me, having feelings for a guy like that. / ...I hope you're listening seriously! This is a proper confession!
Naruto: .........

11
Naruto: ......But, why...? / What brought this on...? // There's nothing funny about joking around in a place like this, you know... / .........Sakura-chan. // ......What exactly...... happened to you...?
Sakura: Nothing, really. / ......I just came to my senses. // There's no point having feelings for a Missing-nin and a criminal. / I can't stay a kid forever... I have to see things for what they are.

12
Sakura: So, Naruto... you can just forget about that promise we made...... / Why don't you stop chasing after Sasuke-kun as well, okay...?
Naruto: ............
Yamato: What on Earth is...
Sakura: When we find Naruto, I'll handle the talking... // So please, the rest of you, don't say anything. // I want you to promise me that alone. // And also...
Naruto: ......Did something happen... Sakura-chan? // Why would you suddenly decide to......

13
Sakura: I told you, nothing happened! // ...If it's a reason for me to like you that you want, then I have plenty.........
Sai: .........
Flashback!Sakura: All I want... is for Sasuke-kun to accept me. That's all...... // I'm... serious about this. // Sasuke-ku~~~n!! // Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun!! // Aaaaahhhhhhh!! // Naruto... this is the greatest... request... I will ever make of you... // Please... Please bring Sasuke-kun back... // This time, I'm coming too! // ...Sasuke...kun...

14
Kakashi: ......... // (Sakura...... you...)

15
Sakura: Sasuke-kun is just moving further and further away from me... // But Naruto... you've always been right here beside me. / ...Always here to comfort me... // I... noticed, that's all... // Who you really are, Naruto... // You're the hero who protected the village... The whole village loves you now, you know. // I feel the same way, that's all... // You may have been a prankster and a dropout once... but you've spent every day since them becoming a more wonderful and admirable person... // And I've witnessed every moment of it. // But Sasuke-kun just kept committing sin after sin... breaking my heart with every step... / Becoming a different person, one far removed from me.
Naruto: .........
Sakura: But Naruto... you, I have right here, close enough to touch... // You bring me peace... / From the bottom of my heart, I -

16
Naruto: Stop this already, Sakura-chan... // I told you, this isn't funny.
Sakura: ............
