Naruto 324

hi. Thanks to everyone who says thanks and gives advice it makes doing this job worthwhile. Without my express permission I do not permit my trans to be used in scanlations. Unsure areas are underlinned.

As always, pointing out mistakes, typos, or things you just don`t like (or that dont sound good) will help me to come up with a better trans next time. :smile-big

page1:
K: This means we can get another 350,000,000 ryo.
I: Why did Cpt. Asuma get burned?
S: Does this mean what I think it does?!

page2:

324: Shikamaru's analysis.
H: GYA HA HA HA HA! The preparation is complete.
Get ready, `cos this is really going to hurt like hell!
That terrible figure "akatsuki"; laughs

page5:

A: Arg!
H: Hurts right? GYA HA HA HA!
H: The vital points hurt much more!
Ku ku, That`s the real exquisite pain...
The agony of another`s death soaks into my body...
It surpasses pain and becomes and changes to pleasure.

page6:

I: Cpt. Asuma...seems to be holding his left leg, strange...
K: It's the same leg that that guy stabbed himself in.
H: You`re already cursed by me.
K: I`ve got it!


page7:

A: I see. His body and my body are linked by some kind of strange trick.
However, he`s immortal.
H:Ha ha ha! the pain of which part of your body would you like to feel next?
H: Or rather, would you like to just end it all? Yeah?
K: Shikamaru! Physical attacks are no good, Kagenui is out of the question.
Stop his movement with the kage kubishimari (shadow strangle), quickly!
S: I`m already on it.

page8:
::::
page9:

H: Diiiieeee!!
S: I won`t let you!

page10:

H: tsk!

page11:

K: Good job Shikamaru.
H:hmm, so that`s it.
K: Izumo, how long since we requested back up?
I: About 10 minutes, it`ll take about 20 minutes till reinforcements come.
K: ok...

page12



I: Damn, what can we do? If we kill him Cpt. Asuma will die too.
I: to dispell jutsu that have a continuous effect killing the user is joseki*
But if we can`t do that, that means...
S: In order to do this jutsu there must be some rule or risk, some kind of loophole associated with it.
(first I have to be cool and calm, then analyise the opponent)
A: (Shikamaru saved me. I`ve got to use this chance to think of something that will allow me to escape from this jutsu)

*(another shogi reference. Joseki is an opening/standard play which gives the best results possible. It`s used here to mean standard practice)
どうだい　日本帰り先輩？　うっふっふ。。。将棋、好きになってるかい？
page13:

H: NNNNGGGGGGG!
A: (with him as an opponent Shikamaru`s jutsu won`t hold for long)
(I only have a little time to think)
K: If you`re gonna draw it out then I`ll step it. We can`t let this small fortune get away.

page14:

H: I told you to stay out of this Kakuzu! I`m good enough to take all of them.
S: Speech...personality...movement of his lips...
His possessions...His movements up until now. The meaning in those movements and the relationship between each action.


page15:

From all that I can learn about and create a counter for his jutsu. (*********)


S: god, judgememnt, (Recieve the judgement of god. )

curse, ceremony, (you are already cursed by me, from now on the ceremony begins)

preparation (now the preparation is complete)

page16:

A: Looks like Shikamaru has figured something out.

page 17:

I: You onto something, Shikamaru?
S: Yeah...
I: In this situation AND while doing jutsu, that he`s able to do analysis is incredible.
A: In the blink of an eye, Shikamaru is able to think 10 moves ahead. He can consider 200 possible routes. He has high speed analitical ability as well as the "knack" of knowing what the best move is.
S: Here we go, Cpt. Asuma.
