Title:
ナンバー３３１：第十班が行く…！！
Number 331: Team 10 Sets Out...!!

Page 1

Frame 1, Text:
―第十班、三人一組が目指す先は！？
... Where is the Team 10 three-man cell headed!?

Frame 3, Tsunade:
待て！
Stop right there!

Page 2

Frame 1, Tsunade:
どこへ行く気だ？
Just where do you think you're going?

Frame 2, Ino:
五代目さま…
Tsunade-sama...

Frame 3, Shikamaru:
任務命令は継続中っすよね…まだ十八の小隊は散らばって動いてる…オレらは新しく隊を編成して、これから任務に向かうとこっすよ
The mission orders are still in effect, right? ... The 18 other squads are still deployed and in action... The three of us formed our own squad and were just about to head off on the mission

Page 3

Frame 1, Tsunade:
身勝手な行動は許さん！
You're not allowed to make missions yourself!

Frame 2, Tsunade:
敵が戻ると言ったポイントにはちゃんとした小隊を送る
I, of course, plan on sending a squad to the position where the enemy said they'd return

Frame 4, Tsunade:
シカマル…お前はこちらで再編成した小隊に組み込む…そしてしっかりとした作戦（プラン）を立ててから行かせる
Shikamaru... You will be added to a squad that I will arrange myself... And then you'll go after having come up with a solid plan of action

Frame 6, Shikamaru:
後で増援送ってくれればいいっすよ…いのとチョージとオレの線ですでに作戦も立ててありますから
You can just send us backup afterwards... Ino, Chouji and I already have a plan set up for ourselves

Page 4

Frame 1, Tsunade:
いい加減にしろ！！
That's enough!!

Frame 3, Tsunade:
アスマは死んだ…今のお前らは三人きりだ
Asuma is dead... There's only three of you left now

Frame 4, Tsunade:
小隊は四人一組が基本！隊長のいないお前らに…
A team of four is the foundation of a squad! Without a captain, you're...

Frame 5, Shikamaru:
アスマはオレ達と共にいる
Asuma is with us

Frame 6, Tsunade:
弔い合戦でもするつもりか！お前らしくもない…犬死にしたいのか！
So you're planning a battle of vengeance!? This isn't like you at all... Do you want to just throwing your lives away!?

Page 5

Frame 2, Shikamaru:
オレ達だって馬鹿じゃないっすよ…死にに行くつもりなんて毛頭無いっすから…
The three of us aren't stupid... Don't worry, we don't have the slightest intention of leaving just to die...
（確かに「馬鹿」ではないのだが、「猪蝶鹿」ではある…くだんない冗談ですんまへん）

Frame 4, Shikamaru:
ただ…
That said...

Frame 5, Tsunade:
ただ…何だ？
"That said"... "That said" what?

Frame 6, Shikamaru:
このまま逃げて筋を通さねェまま生きてくような…
Just leaving things be, living without sticking to what we believe in is just...

Page 6

Frame 1, Shikmaru:
そういうめんどくせー生き方もしたくねーんすいよ
We just don't want to live like that 'cuz it's a pain in the ass

Frame 3, Tsunade:
成長しろ…忍には死がついてまわる…
Grow up... Death is a constant companion for us shinobi

Frame 4, Tsunade:
時には受け入れ難い死もある…しかしそれを乗り越えねば未来（さき）は無い…
Occasionally there will be deaths that are hard to accept... But if you don't get over them you have no future...

Page 7

Frame 2, Shikamaru:
この形見のタバコ…これふかしてっとアスマ先生が近くにいるような…オレらを守ってくれてるような…そんな感じがするんすよ…
These cigarettes Asuma-sensei left me... When I'm smoking them it's like he's right here... Like he's here protecting us... I just get that feeling

Frame 4, Shikamaru:
…この戦いのケジメがつくまではこのタバコとも一緒だ…
... Until somebody puts an end to this fight, he's here with these cigarettes...

Frame 5, Tsunade:
…現実を見ろ…お前らは三人だ…
... Step back into reality for a second... There's only three of you...

Page 8

Frame 1, Kakashi:
小隊は四人いればいいですよね
Things'll be fine as long as there's four to a squad, right?

Frame 2, Tsunade:
…カカシ、お前！
... Kakashi, what did you just...!

Frame 3, Chouji:
カカシ先生！！
Kakashi-sensei!!

Page 9

Frame 1, Kakashi:
第十班にはオレが隊長として同行します…それでどうですかね？
I'll accompany Team 10 as their squad captain... Will that work for you?

Frame 1, Tsunade:
お前…！
Why you...!

Frame 2, Kakashi:
止めたところでコイツら行っちゃいますよ…だったらオレが付いてけば監視役にもなりますし…ムチャはさせませんから
Even if you try to stop them, they'll still go... But if I'm will them I'll be able to watch over them... and keep them from doing anything stupid

Page 10

Frame 1, Tsunade:
分かった…好きにしろ！
Fine... Have it your way!

Frame 2, Kakashi:
どうも
Why thank you

Frame 3, Chouji:
やったー！
All right!

Frame 4, Shikamaru:
ナルトはいいんすか？カカシ先生
'sit OK to be leaving Naruto behind, Kakashi-sensei?

Page 11

Frame 2, Ino:
その右手…
Your right hand...

Frame 3, Kakashi:
なーに…オレはもうアイツにとっちゃ用済みだ…ま！それに今は別の隊長も付いてるしな
What do you mean... I'm not of any use anymore as far as he's concerned... Besides! He already has a new captain assigned to his squad

Frame 4, Shikamaru:
フン…
Heh...

Frame 4, Shikamaru (Thought):
ナルトの奴…
That Naruto...

Frame 5, Kakashi:
それじゃアスマ班行きますか！
Well then, Team Asuma, are you ready!?

Frame 6, Shikamaru:
感謝するぜ、カカシ先生！
Thanks a ton, Kakashi-sensei!

Page 12

Frame 4, Leader:
良し…
Good...

Page 13

Frame 1, Leader:
Now for the Two-Tails

Frame 4, Sign:
取調べ室
Interrogation Room

Page 14

Frame 1, Ibiki:
これからアンタの罪状認否を取る
We'll be conducting your arraignment now...

Frame 2, Ibiki:
それと…アンタが接触していたこの男…この男の事を話してもらう
And... About this man you were in contact with... We need you to tell us what you know of him

Frame 3, Hitaikizu:
フン…チクリはやらねェ
Please... I don't rat out my clients

Frame 5, Ibiki:
なら、話してもらうのは止めだ…
In that case, there's no reason for me to wait for you to tell us...

Frame 6, Ibiki:
I'll just use my own methods to force it out of you!

Page 15

Frame 1, Kakashi:
シカマル…まずお前の作戦を聞こう
Shikamaru... Let me in on your plan first

Frame 2, Shikamaru:
カカシ先生が入った事で少し作戦を変更したいんすけど
Since you're with us now, Kakashi-sensei, I'd like to change our strategy a bit

Frame 2, Kakashi:
分かった…説明してくれ
Very well... Please explain

Frame 3, Shikamaru:
いくつかのパターンに分けて説明する…全員しっかり頭に叩き込んでおいてくれよ
I'm going to explain things by dividing it into a number of scenarios... Make sure the three of you remember all this to a T

Frame 5, Tsunade:
ナルトの修行はどんな感じだ？
How's Naruto's training going?

Page 16

Frame 1, Sakura:
カカシ先生が言うには何だかコツはつかんだらしくて…完成までにはもう少しかかるって言ってましたけど…
According to Kakashi-sensei it seems Naruto's started to get the hang of things... Although it looks like it's still going to be a bit before he completes it...

Frame 2, Tsunade:
…そうか…
... I see...

Frame 3, Sakura:
第十班にカカシ先生が入ったって事は…第十班と連係の取りやすい第七班…私たちの小隊が増援に行くべきだと…そういう事ですよね
Since Kakashi-sensei is part of Team 10 now... It'd be best that a team with good compatibility, Team 7, be sent a backup... In other words, our team... That's what you're getting at, right?

Frame 4, Tsunade:
…察しがいいな…さすがお前だ…
... Excellent observation... Just like always...

Frame 5, Shizune:
しかし、ナルト君の新術がいつ完成するのかも分かりませんし、別の小隊を向かわせたほうが…
Still, we don't know exactly when Naruto-kun will complete his new jutsu, so perhaps we should think of sending another squad...

Page 17

Frame 1, Tsunade:
サクラ…ヤマトに伝えろ
Sakura... Relay this to Yamato

Frame 2, Tsunade:
あと二十四時間でナルトの新術を完成させろ！それが出来なければ別の小隊を増援に向かわせるとな！
Tell him to have Naruto complete his new jutsu in the next 24 hours! And that if he doesn't I'll be sending a different squad in your place!

Frame 3, Sakura:
ハイ！
Yes sir!

Frame 4, Tsunade:
シズネ…間に合わなかった場合を考えて、スケジュールを見て第十班と連携の取れる小隊の編成案を至急で出せ！
Shizune... In the event that Naruto doesn't finish on time, look and the schedule and come up with a squad that work well with Team 10, on the double!

Frame 5, Shizune:
…分かりました
... very well

Frame 5, Shizune (Thought):
このクソババァが…
Damn old bitch...

Frame 6, Tsunade:
…さて…これからだ…
... Well then... Now things really begin...
