Title:
ナンバー２８３：メンバー探し！！
Number 283: The Search for Team Members!!

Sidetext:
うん？たまには一人になりてぇんだけどな。少し険しい表情。中忍って大変なんです。
What's that? Well, sometimes I just want to be alone.
A somewhat stern expression. Being a chuunin is hard work.

Frame 1, Text:
ナルトのメンバー探し、（実は無意味だったりする）続行中ッ…！！
Naruto's search for team members (which may very well be pointless) continues...!!

Frame 1, Signs:
バンダイ、トミー
Bandai, Tomy
(Pointless advertising...)

Frame 2, Naruto:
結局断られちゃったなァ…紅班も任務入ってたか…
Man, I ended up getting turned down... So Team Kurenai had a mission already...

Frame 3, Naruto:
こうなりゃ後は…あいつら当たってみるか。
In that case... Maybe I'll try asking them.

Frame 4, Sign:
中忍試験準備委員会
Chuunin Exam Preparations Committee

Page 3

Frame 1, Shikamaru:
ったく…だから言ったろ。めんどくせーけどオレは中忍試験の係員任されてんだよ。
Jeez... Look, I already told you. It's a pain in the ass, but I'm stuck being a chuunin examination official.

Frame 2, Shikamaru:
そりゃ…お前とは腐れ縁だし、協力はしてやりてーが…勝手出来る立場じゃねーんだよ、オレも…
Don't get me wrong... Whether I like it or not, I'm still your friend and I do want to help... But I'm just not in a position where I can do whatever I want, same as everyone else...

Frame 3, Shikamaru:
五代目だ…女の小言は母ちゃんだけで十分だ。
It's that Godaime... I get more than enough lectures from my mom as it is.
("godaime" - "fifth")

Frame 4, (Unknown):
そんなら、ボクが協力するよ。
In that case, I'll help out.

ナルトに託す綱手の思いは…そして任務開始（スタート）！！
What hope of Tsunade is entrusted to Naruto...? And then, the mission begins!!

Frame 1, Chouji:
オイ！シカマル、これおばちゃんに頼まれた弁当。
Hey! Shikamaru, here's the bento your mom asked me to bring.

Frame 1, Naruto:
チョージ！！
Chouji!!

Frame 2, Shikamaru:
チョージ、お前、そんな勝手言っていいのか？アスマの先生やいのと任務入ってんじゃねーのか？
Chouji, you sure you can just decide things by yourself like that? Don't you have a mission with Asuma-sensei and Ino?

Frame 3, Chouji:
ナルトの話もこのまま放っとけないしさ。アスマ先生と相談してみるよ。
Well we can't just go and ignore Naruto's request. I'll bring up the issue with Asuma-sensei.

Frame 4, Naruto:
チョージ、サンキュー！！
Chouji, thanks!!

Frame 5, Shikamaru:
だから…アスマに言ってもダメなんだって…その上があの綱手様なんだからよ…
Look... There's no way Asuma's going to be OK with that... After all, he has Tsunade-sama standing right above him...

Frame 1, Naruto:
へへ…相変わらず食ってばっかだな。
Hehe... I see your eating habits haven't changed at all.

Frame 2/5, Naruto:
お前、昔よりデブ
You're even more of a fatso than before...

Frame 5, Naruto:
オーーー！！
Ahhh!!

Page 8/9

Frame 4, Chouji:
うりゃ！！
Take this!!
(Well... It's more so just a shout, but I couldn't think of a good English equivalent... A literal transcription would be "Urya")

Frame 4:
あそこか…
There he is...

Page 12

Frame 4, Naruto:
…見たことねー奴だけど…木の葉の額当てしてるぞ！
... That's not anybody I've seen before... But that's a Konoha forehead protector!

Frame 4, Shikamaru:
いきなりだな…何狙ってっか知らねーが、ああいう手合いは捕まえて…
Well that came out of nowhere... I don't know what he's after, but that kind of lowlife needs to be captured...

Page 13

Frame 1, Shikamaru:
尋問部隊に引き渡す！
... and handed over to the interrogation squad!

Frame 5, Shikamaru:
援護する、行け、ナルト！
I'll watch your back, you go get him, Naruto!

Frame 6, Naruto:
オウ！
Got it!

Frame 4, Sai:
忍法・超獣偽画
Ninpou - Choujuu Giga
(Adapted literal translation is, umm... Let's go with... "Ninja Art - Incredible Beasts Imitation Picture")

Page 17

Frame 2, Shikamaru:
ナルト、そのまま突っ込め！
Naruto, just duck!

Frame 4, Shikamaru:
忍法・影縫い
Ninpou - Kage Nui
("Ninja Art - Shadow Sewing")

Page 19

Frame 4, Naruto:
誰だ…てめェ…！
Who the hell are you...!

Frame 5, Sai:
力…弱いな…君。それでも、チンポ付いてんですか？
You're... Pretty weak... For a guy. Do you even have a penis?

Sidetext:
同じ額当て…しかし見知らぬ少年の急襲に惑い、憤るナルト！！そして挑発する…サイの狙いは一体！？
He shares the same forehead protector... But the surprise attack of this unknown boy perplexes and enrages Naruto!! He then taunts Naruto... What exactly are Sai's intentions!?

Chapter Preview:
争う二人の決着は！？そして、メンバー探しは…！？次号、「難問」へ！！
What is the conclusion as these two battle!? And what of the search for team members...!? Next Issue, "A Difficult Problem"!!
