Naruto 424

Page 1:
Side: The Leaf suffers innumerable casualties...

Text: Resolution!

Guy: Nnh...

Page 2:
Tsunade: So many injured...

Danzou: I've managed slip under Tsunade's radar thanks to this calamity...
Even Akatsuki can be useful...

Tsunade's reign ends here.

Page 3:
Danzou: I couldn't afford to let Akatsuki capture the Nine-Tails.
That, too, is taken care of.
We will remain hidden here, underground, until things quiet down above.

Root: Shouldn't we back them up, sir?
Even if you do ascend to the top, Danzou-sama,
it will be meaningless if the Leaf's entire population falls.

Danzou: We're talking about the woman who is the princess AND the Hokage.
As long as she's using Katsuyu, there will be survivors.
And although there will be death...

They are ALL necessary sacrifices...

If I am to become Hokage.

SFX: VWOOOOOOOM

Page 5:
Guy: You win.

Nothin' like havin' a drink after work, huh?

Long hair: Nothing here...you found anything out, Tonbo?

Tonbo: Not yet...nothing linking him to Pain.

Page 6:
Sign: Off Limits

Rain-nin: Corpses are light today.

Inoichi: can tell from years of experience...this one's a woman.

We're always carrying corpses to this tower...the highest point in the village.
You know what's up there?

Page 7:
Inoichi: Well, it was built to enshrine the bones of the dead, yeah?
To hold memorial services and whatnot?

Rain-nin: They why are their relatives forbidden to enter?
Inoichi: I don't know...why, do you?

Rain-nin: Heheh...
Inoichi: What? Don't hold out on me.

Rain-nin: There are rumors...that Pain-sama lives there.

Inoichi: Whooooah, that'd be awesome.
But there's no way it's true.

Rain-nin: I said it was a RU-MOR.
Anyways, we need to confirm this...

Page 8:
Rain-nin: A woman. You called it!

Konan: Good job.

Rain-nin: Holy Angel...

Konan: Now go get the next one.

Page 9:
Chouji: Dad...Kakashi-sensei...

Page 10:
Tonbo: Inoichi-san, you ROCK.
You learned about half his day in 30 seconds...
We're finally making progress.

Glasses: You dumbass!
If you've got time to talk, use it to learn something about Pain!

Page 11:
Shizune: Excuse us!

It's Shizune. Hokage-sama ordered us to come here and exchange information!

Ibiki: Did you learn something new?

Shizune: Yes! I'll explain everything!
If we combine what both our sides have learned,
we should be able to uncover the truth about Pain!

Page 12:
Chouji: Uh-uuunh-
D-Dad... [H: Sorry, Kelly T_T]

Page 13:
Chouji: You c-covered me...

Kakashi: You can cry...later...Chouji...

Kakashi: If you can still move...tell Tsunade-sama...about Pain's powers!
Help her form a plan!

Chouji: Ka...kashi-sensei?

Kakashi: You can be shocked later!
Tell her about Pain...run!

Chouji: M...me?
Kakashi: Don't let your father's sacrifice go to waste!

Page 14:
Asura: You're all tough as nails...

Kakashi: Damn it, he's still-

Kakashi: Fuck, he's aiming for Chouji!

Page 15:
Chouji: Dad...Thank you.

Keep watching me!

Kakashi: Chouji, run for it!

With my chakra so depleted, I won't be able to get his whole body.
And if I use it again....I'll expend my last bit of stamina and run completely out of chakra...
There's no doubt...if I do this...

Page 16:
Kakashi: I WILL die!

But I have to make sure the survivors get that information!
Right now...

Right now, this is all I can do to protect the Leaf Village!

Page 17:
Asura: He must've used that same eye technique to avoid the nail...

Kakashi: Well...I guess this is it for me...
Obito...Rin...

Text: Even in the depths of despair, his will burns bright!
