Title: Snake and…
Text: Sasuke attacks Orochimaru… what is his aim!?


Pg 2
Frame 1
Sasuke: Orochimaru, you’re weaker than me.

Frame 2
Sasuke: …There’s no need for me to give you my body anymore.

Frame 3
Orochimaru: Such big talk… for a little Uchiha chick.

Frame 4
Sasuke: Heh… If I wasn’t a little chick, you wouldn’t have been able to get me, right? You…


Pg 3
Frame 2
Sasuke: Couldn’t get Itachi…
So you settled for the little chick that was me, right?

Frame 3
Sasuke: Isn’t that right?
The genius that was lauded as one of the “Sannin”

Frame 5
Sasuke: But you were only a genius to the norm of society…
You couldn’t surpass the Uchiha name or even come close.

Frame 6
Sasuke: No matter how genius one is, in front of the Uchiha name, they’re just ordinary people.


Pg 4
Frame 1
Sasuke: You want to get closer the Uchihas’ powers so badly you, immerse your body with medicine and taking over other bodies. Your actions…

Frame 2
Sasuke: From me, who bears this name, it looks ridiculous.

Frame 4
Sasuke: Plus, I don’t like your methods…
What’s your purpose?

Frame 5
Sasuke: To unravel the logic of this world or whatever,
You’ve continued to play around with people like toys for such a stupid and selfish reason.


Pg 5
Frame 2
Sasuke: …Why did…
…brother…?

Frame 4
Itachi: To measure one's worth.

Frame 5
Sasuke: ……Measure one's worth……?
For that reason…
For that reason… you… killed… everyone…?

Frame 6
Itachi: That’s what was important.


Pg 6
Frame 1
Sasuke: You make me sick.


Pg 7
Frame 5
Sasuke: A white-scaled snake…
So that was your true identity…


Pg 8
Frame 2
Sasuke: You continued your experiments…
So that you could move from body to body…


Pg 9
Frame 1
Sasuke: And the end result is that appearance.

Frame 2
Oro: Now… Sasuke-kun, your body…

Frame 3
Oro: Give it to me!!!


Pg 10
Frame 3
Oro: Shaaaaah!


Pg 11 & 12
No Text


Pg 13
Frame 1
Sasuke: Simply put, for a snake that crawls around on the ground to dream of flying,
Is just impossible.

Frame 2
Sasuke: And still you wanted to do it. So you targeted a little chick inside a nest and
…got targeted in return.


Pg 14 & 15
Frame 1
Sasuke: Now, I’m going to fly high into the sky
…Like the eye of the hawk.

Frame 3
Oro: Sasukeeeee!!


Pg 16
Frame 3
Oro: What is this?
Sandaime: Ooh! That’s the skin of a white snake. Must have been hard to find.

Frame 4
Oro: It’s the first time… I’ve seen something like this.
Sandaime: Fufu… To be honest, same with me.
That’s something very rare that you don’t get to see often.

Frame 5
Oro: Why is it white?
Sandaime: Hmm… no one really knows.
No one even think about that.

Frame 6
Sandaime: For a long time now, the white snake has symbolized the image good fortune and rebirth.


Pg 17
Frame 1
Oro: Good fortune and rebirth...

Frame 3
Sandaime: The fact that you found it here at this grave might be some sign. Maybe your parents have been reincarnated somewhere…
So that someday… they can meet a grownup you.


Frame 4
Oro: …When will that be…?

Frame 5
Sandaime: …That I don’t know.

Side Text: Good fortune, rebirth… and immortality. The monster that was born from such a twisted wish, is now the prey of an even greater monster… Next issue, the showdown!!

Next Chap Preview: The master and student know each other well… The result of the clash between them is!? Next issue: “New Era”!!
