Shizune: Kazekage-sama was brought back home unhurt.
Shizune: The Gai team and the Kakashi team finished their mission successfully
and were unhurt.
Shizune: They plan to come back to Konoha in three days.

Tsunade: Understood...

Shizune: Er... Tsunade-sama.
e people
Tsunade: What?

Page 6:

Shizune: This mission ended well...
Shizune: Jiraiya-sama said: "how about sending Naruto, who is a Jinchuuriki to the place of these guys who're hunting down tailed demons"...

Shizune: Hatake Kakashi was indeed his former team leader, but...
Shizune: why did you take such a risk of sending Naruto to danger...

Tsunade: Precisely because he's a Jinchuuriki.

Tsunade: Those who understand Jinchuuriki better are the Jinchuuriki themselves.

Tsunade: Also, this guy has a miraculous power...

Tsunade: Everybody... Is relying on him, it seems...

Naruto: Yep!

Naruto: We're going, Sakura-chan.

Sakura: Chiyobaa-sama... Thank you...

Kankurou: See you...
Naruto: Ye... Yeah!

Naruto: Usually, we would say good-bye by shaking hands, but...
Naruto: you don't like me that much, as it is...

Page 13:

Tenten: Senseis, you're late!

Kakashi: Ahh... Sorry, Gai-kun.
Kakashi: Because I've used this sharingan, my body is not moving for the moment...

Gai: Yaaaah!!
Kakashi: Huh! Hey! Wai...!

Page 14:

Naruto: (It's a bit... weird)
Sakura: (Grown men carrying each other on their back... It's worse than I would have thought)
Tenten: (Wow...)
Lee: (I get it... This is training!!)

Gai: Like this it's faster!!

Gai: Ha ha ha! Can you guys follow me!?

Page 15:

Sakura: (...The movement is making it even worse...)

Lee: Neji...
Neji: I refuse!

Tobi: Ohoh? Deidara-san seems to have been done in.

Page 16:

Tobi: With this person, I'm sure the cause of death was explosion... Zetu-san.
Tobi: Bits of flesh seem to have fallen down around here... Hu huh...

Deidara: Don't touch that, you bastard!

Deidara: Ha ha

Tobi: Oh! you were alive!

Page 17:

Zetsu (monster): What about the Jinchuuriki?

Deidara: My role is over, isn't it... Yeah.

Tobi: Ohoh... It must have been tight, Deidara-san.
Tobi: No problem... Isn't it...

Deidara: Tobi... Even in Buddha's eyes, you've got three times...
Deidara: Next time you try to say something, your cause of death will be decided by me... Yeah.
Tobi: By this... In any case, you mean death by explosion.
Zetsu (monster): This...is the third time!

Deidara: A death by strangling... Yeah.
Tobi: Ugh!

Page 19:

Guy: You are assigned to that Kakashi team. The hand is already turning...

Guy: You and Uzumaki Naruto are alike more than by your age...
Guy: The strongest of the village in your generation...
Guy: And more than everything, this... wonderful artistic taste, admired by all.

Guy: From this day to the accomplishment of your mission, your name is Sai...

Page 20:

Sai: I am... Sai, huh...

Page 21:

Guy: Stop this fake smile in front of me.
Sai: Sorry... My textbook said that getting in the hearts of people starts with smiling...

Sai: I'm just training...
Sai: Because I can't yet do well these "facial expressions"...

A premonition of trouble for the Kakashi team! What is that mission of the
new head without face sent to Konoha!?
