01)
481: Danzou Dies!!
1: Utatane Koharu
2: Sarutobi Hiruzen
3: Mitokado Homura
4: Uchiha Kagami
5: Shimura Danzou
6: Akimichi Torifu
side: Memories come back to life, the allies that once fought for the seat of hokage...during the last hour of the shinobi Danzou.

02)
text: Sasuke...stabbed Karin!!
1: You didn't have enough time to use Izanagi...Danzou.
2: Sasuke...to you...
3: I...
4(2b): Karin...the minute you were taken hostage, you became an encumbrance.
sfx: dosah
5: Gufuhh!!

03)
1-2: Haa
3: zah
4: zeh
5-6: haa
7: I'll be taking Shisui's eye.
8: haa
9: zeh
10-11: haa

04)
1(2b): We're surrounded...there's...20 of them.
2: Judging from their tracking ability,
3: they're from Kumogakure...the skilled Kingaku Squad, perhaps? (*t/l: Golden Horn)
4(2b): Including the 2nd, we have seven on our side. ...this will be really...
5: The enemy hasn't completely grasped our location yet. We could wait here, then ambush and surprise them, allowing us to break through to an escape route...
6(2b): There's no way...in this situation, our only choice is to have one person draw their attention.

05)
1: ...a decoy...?
2(2b): If anything, it'll be suicidal...who would...
3: I'm a shinobi...I decided that I will die on the battlefield, just like a shinobi should...!
4: ...Sarutobi...right now...what are you thinking? Do you really have the resolve for something like that...?
5: Say it!! Just say it!!
6: I--
7: What's wrong?!
8: Why can't I say I'll do it...

06)
1: I'll do it!
2: Sarutobi...
3: Hiruzen...you...
4: ...my shivering...stopped...
5(2b): Heh! Don't worry! Despite how it may look, I'm just bragging that I'm the most capable out of the lot of you...I won't kick the bucket!

07)
1: ...dammit...I'm a weakling...
2: Somewhere in my heart...I'm...relieved...
sfx: guh
3(2b): Take care of everyone for me, Danzou. I know you can...
sfx: ton
4(2b): Shut up! I was about to raise my hand! Don't act all cool like that on your own!
sfx: ban
5: I'll be the decoy!!
6: Danzou...
7: My father and grandfather both died on the battlefield as shinobi!
8: Sacrificing oneself is the main duty of a shinobi...!!

08)
1: It's obvious that I should be the decoy...
2: You are all the young bearers of the will of flame that must protect our land from here on out.
3(2b): No!! You're the hokage!! There isn't a shinobi in all the land greater than you!
4: Danzou, you've always taken every possible opportunity you could to fight with Saru.
5(2b): In this situation, however, unity is paramount. Don't bring personal battles into this.
6: Your decision came too late, that's the truth.
7(2b): The first thing you should do is look hard at yourself and, without losing your cool, know yourself. Like this, you'll just be putting your allies in danger.
8: At any rate...Danzou...Saru...there isn't any reason to get hasty at your ages.
9(2b): Someday, your time will come. But until it does...keep your lives.

09)
sfx: suh
1: Saru...
2: Adore your homeland and protect those who believe in you. And raise them. From tomorrow forward, the one who has been entrusted with the next generation...
3: will be you...
4: The Hokage...!!

10)
1: Sir!
2: You've always...been walking one damn step ahead of me...
sfx: zeh
sfx: hah
3: For the world of Shinobi, for Konoha...
sfx: susaaaaaah
4: I will absolutely not let you go alive!

11)
1: This is an Opposite Shishou Fuuinjutsu!! (Four-Seals Technique)
2(2b): Sasuke!! Get away from Danzou!!
sfx: zah
sfx: suuuu
3: Hiruzen...looks like it's my turn next...
4: But as it ends up...
5: I...will never become the Hokage...

12)
1: Does this really mean that no matter how far I continued,
2: I could never catch up to you...?
3: You are a leaf bathed in light.
4: I...am a root in the darkness.
5: What did you think of a man like me?
6: Tell me, Hiruzen...
7: To you what was I...?

13)
1: Sakura-san...
2: What?
3: Don't you think it would have been better to tell Naruto-kun the truth?
4(2b): ...there's no way...I could tell him something like that...absolutely no way.
5: Sakura...you're underestimating Naruto too much...
sfx: pikun

14)
1(2b): I found Sasuke. And that Tobi guy is with him.
2: Everyone stop for a moment!
3(2b): What, why do we have to stop? We already planned out our formation!
sfx: goso
4: Kiba...what's the exact position of Sasuke-kun?
5(2b): Heading straight north, toward 2 o'clock...one km ahead!

15)
1: Guys...I'm sorry!!
2: I knew it...so you were planning to put everyone to sleep with this, right?
3: Sai...!
4: Huh?!
5: Woof woof!
6: What's going on?
7: Sakura was planning to settle things with Sasuke alone.
sfx: suh

16)
1: Why...alone?
2(2b): Yeah! We promised to do this together, didn't we?!
3: No...we can't...
4: I can't allow anyone to get any closer than this.
5: Why not?!
6: Dammit...I knew you smelled fishy!
7: Us five will not be able to beat Sasuke alone...or Tobi, or that matter.
8: I promised Kakashi-sensei that I wouldn't let you go.
9: Sai...I'll only say this once...
sfx: gyu
10: Get out of my way...!

17)
1(2b): We have to hurry...this is a bit of a dangerous situation.
2(2b): That's a seal technique made for the purpose of taking people down with you, that swallows up the target into the user's own body. Seems like he set it to activate on the moment of his own death.
3: That was close...
4: Next...
5: We're heading to Konoha.

side: Sasuke buries Danzou! What will be his next revenge...?!
