My iterations in bold again, comments in italics. Not much to note this week... I thought there was very little confusion. Some added text here and there... and it's too bad that it's near impossible to pick up on the habits of each individual's tone (there were a lot of characters talking), as there are so many more 'tones' in the Japanese language in comparison to English.

As always, I will be happy to help in any individual questions ^^

p3
Tokuma: They're moving out! A lot of them!
Tokuma: They're moving! And it's a lot of them!
No major difference, just that there is no direction given - Tokuma says that they are starting to move.

Anko: You three report back to base immediately! I'll stay behind and search the hideout!
ANko: You guys rejoin the main group and report to them! I'll stay behind and search their hideout!
Small bit left out here, there is a 'main' troop somewhere, and Anko tells the other three to report back to this main troop.

p4
Haku: It's odd... my mind is perfectly clear, but my body's moving on its own.
Haku: I'm fully conscious... but my body's moving on its own...
I think Haku clearly knows that being fully conscious and moving on his own is odd...

Shinobi: This is a forbidden technique called the "Impure world ressurection."
Someone has summoned us back to this world...
to send us into battle.
Shinobi: This is a forbidden technique... Edo-tensei.
which means we have been summoned back to this world by someone...
and likely engage in battle soon.

This guy clearly knows about Edo-tensei. The original translation seemed a bit rigid....

Zabuza: So this guy's even using the dead. That's bullshit, I don't wanna fight for someone who'd stoop that low...
Zabuza: Even utilizing the dead... and we're being (manipulated) by someone like that... doesn't settle well with me...
Zabuza clearly shows his disdain for being used by the Edo-tensei summoner (Kabuto), but his demeanor has always been calm and collected, yet razor sharp.


p6
Kabuto: "Impure world ressurection"
Edo tensei - I don't know how this translation came about...

Dan: YEah... listen, all three of us are dead.
we're being controlled by a forbidden technique that summons the souls of the departed back to the world of the living.
Dan: Yeah... the commonality between the three of us is that we're dead.
We're controlled by a forbidden technique which uses a sacraficed human being to summon the souls of the departed.

Even Dan seems to know about Edo-ten...

Hizashi: But why? What is happening out there?
Hizashi: What exactly happened?
Again, some added text makes the character dialogue seem a bit elementary.

p8
Kabuto: That just leaves us. We'll start with...
Kabuto: Well let's head out as well... and first...

p9
Hidden Snake Hands!
Sen-ei Tajyashu!

p10
Shinobi A: Can we really win this war with such a young commander?
Shinobi A: Are we going to be all right with such a young regimen captain?

Shinobi B: Gaara-sama's not like the babies in your village! Don't run your mouth about people you know nothing about!
Shinobi B: Gaara-sama's not just any other young man!
Don't make remarks if you know nothing about (him)!

Some added text, 'babies in your village'?

p11
Gaara: Three times now... we've fought world wards for our own nations, our own villages. We've hurt one another. We've hated one another.
Gaara: For the benefits of our own countries and villages,
Shinobi have been hurting and hating each other during the long period of time between the First and Third (shinobi world wars).


Gaara: I was a jinchuuriki, the embodiment of hatred and power.
Gaara: I was once of hatred, once of power, and once a jinchuuriki.
Jinchuuriki itself was not hate and power. At least Gaara doesn't believe so.


p13
Gaara: He saved me! My eneny, my fellow Jinchuuriki... He suffered the same pain as me, yet bore no ill will!
Gaara: He had saved me!! Although we were enemies, he was the same Jinchuuriki... No grudges were needed between those who had understood the same kind of pain (being a Jinchuuriki)!

p14
Gaara: If they take him, if we hand him over, our world is finished!
Gaara: If he falls into enemy hands, the world will be finished!

Gaara: But I'm too young to protect it all of my own! All of you, lend me your aid!
Gaara: But to protect our world... I am still too young and inexperienced! So please, lend me your aid!

p15
Temari: You're incredible Gaara...
Temari: You've become a great (individual)... Gaara!
She says this like a proud sister, not necessarily out of admiration (which the trans seems like).

Gaara: Everyone who's with me, let's go!
Gaara: Everyone who agrees with me, (follow) after me!

p16
Bee: Now it's time for the final part... it's gonna be sad, you're gonna feel helpless, but don't get mad, 'cuz it's time to start!
Bee: And now the last training... it's a little sad (that it's the last) but we're gonna do it.
