Naruto 312

The iffy parts seem to be gone--
thanks brucelee~~ :tem

Enjoy~

312: The Hidden oncoming Threat!!

2.
Naruto: I might surpass...Kakashi-sensei...?
{And that "training"...!?}

Kakashi: That's right

Sakura: .....

Sai: ....

Kakashi: I'll be supervising your training
And, It'll turn out to be quite a different kind of training compared to until now

Naruto: .....
W-what am I going to be doing?

Kakashi: You'll create your own strongest ninjutsu, (belonging only to you)

3.
Kakashi: In other words, you'll be learning a new jutsu that surpasses your Rasengan
However, in obtaining such strenght
a large and equal ammount of time and effort must be involed

It doesn't mean you'll suddenly get strong in a few days, like the protagonist in some novel
And learning this jutsu is different from the Rasengan you learned, one that you learned carefully

Naruto: A huge amount of time...
We just said that we don't have that kind of time! Sasuke's already...

Kakashi: Which is why I've thought up of a short term method

Naruto: ...!

Naruto: H-how...?
Kakashi: Well, that...

4.
{Door bang}
Ino: Asuma-sensei, at least knock!
Chouji: Hey~
Asuma: How are you holding out Kakashi?

5.
Shikamaru: Well if it isn't Naruto and Sakura
Your mission already...

!

Shikamaru: You're that guy from last time...

Chouji: Ah!

Sai: Hey there~

6.
Tsunade: Thank you for that report
Anbu: Well, that is all

Shizune:Now it's positive Akatsuki is speeding up more and more
Now the problem is about them showing up at the outskirts of Konoha

Tsunade: Surely this is a big crisis, but it's also our chance to attack them

Shizune: We should stop fooling around

7.
Chouji: What the, so that's what happened

Sai: I'm Sai
Please address me casually

Ino: Ehh~ He's kinda cool
He kinda looks like Sasuke-kun

8.
Sakura: His appearance is way different than his inner character
He can't sense things around him

Shikamaru: I've heard of what happened with Sasuke from Tsunade-sama
From now on I'll also help out no matter what
What a pain that the Chuunin Exam is over

Naruto: Yeah..

9.
Asuma: You guys can go ahead of me to the barbecue place
If it's alright, Kakashi's team can come with us too

Chouji: Ye-s! Barbecue!
Ino: I agree!
I'll sit next to Sai-kun

Asuma: I'm going to stay and talk with Kakashi a bit
I am paying for the food and all

Naruto: Hold it!!
Hey! Hey! Kakashi-sensei, what about finishing what you were saying about my training!?

Kakashi: ..Oh yeah..Hmm..
Okay! That'll be later!

Naruto: Eh---!
It's all I'm thinking about!

10.
{BBQ}
Ino: Huh? Where's Shikamaru?

Chouji: He said he had to help his dad get a medicinal horn, so he went home

Ino: Phew
He's always leaving to start new missions...
That's so weird...

Chouji: Yes! I get to eat Shikamaru's half!!

Ino: Geez, Chouji! Before you eat, we should introduce ourselves to Sai-kun.
Chouji: Oh you're right..

11.
Sai: Hello
Thoughts: It's essential to open yourself up to someone at first, so I need to decide
on their nicknames or pet names soon

Chouji: Uh, I'm Akimichi Chouji from the Akimichi clan
Nice to meet you, uh, Sai

Sai: Nice to meet you..let me see
Thoughts: Something about him...something about him...

Sakura: Oh no...

Naruto: ...!
Don't tell me he's gonna say that word

Sai: ...Fa...

12.
Naruto: Sai! It's tabbo to say "Fatass" in front of Chouji
Got it!

Chouji: What did he just mutter?
Sakura: Ahaha, it was nothing..
Sai: Nicknames are so hard....

Ino: I'm the daughter of the owner of Yamanaka Flowers, Yamanaka Ino
Nice to meet ya!

Sai thoughts: In the case of women, if I point out any such characteristics, things will get ugly
In other words, if I say the opposite, like compliments

Sai: Nice to meet you..um..

13.
Sai: Ms. Lovely

Sakura: Why did you treat her differently!
SHANNARO-
Sai: Ugu..

?: Ha ha (exhaustion)

14.
Ha ha

Hidan: Don't avoid it, honey

Hidan: Hmm...My attack speed is the slowest out of all the Akatsuki
I really missed~

Girl: I see..so you two must be Akatsuki

Kakuzu: You're the only one left

16.
Hidan: It's not that, you're the one who's supposed to do it

Kakuzu: Hey Hidan, this girl's the "Two-tailed" Jinchuuriki
Don't let your guard down, or you're dead

You're telling me that?
I know you really want her to kill me instead~

{Akatsuki begins to speed up...
Two new members appear!}
