[insert text Sasuke VS a cocky Jinchuuriki... they clash!!!]
Sasuke: I'll take care of capturing this guy. // Suigetsu, on my right. // Juugo, my left. // Karin, you're behind me.
Hachibi: Mmmmm... Let's see.

#410: The Battle of Unrai Gorge

Hachibi: I'm speaking - in the middle of talking - trying to give you a warning, you stupid dumb shit!

6
Juugo: You know we're not supposed to kill the Jinchuuriki. / Akatsuki made that quite clear, Suigetsu.
Karin: Don't worry. / I can still feel his Chakra.

7
Karin: That was a little over-the-top for a feint...
Hachibi: The only guy who's allowed to mess with me... is me~♪ // So I'd get outta here, dumbass, if you don't want to get your ass kicked, dumbshit~!♪
Suigetsu: Ngh!
Juugo: Suigetsu, stand down...

8
Naruto: Die?! // What does becoming "one with nature" have to do with dying?
Fukasaku: Gamakichi, what's all this about dying, now? / Please stop making such wild analogies!
Gamakichi: But...
Fukasaku: Don't worry, Naruto-chan... it's not like you're actually going to die. // Just listen to everything I have to say. // I'm going to explain it all in the proper order.
Gamakichi: ......

9
Fukasaku: To take natural energy into oneself... // ...requires one to have both the capacity to sense it, and to draw it in. // By becoming one with nature itself... / ...one becomes able to freely control the flow of natural energy through one's own body.
Naruto: ......
Fukasaku: To put this training in more practical terms...
Naruto: Yeah?! Yeah?!

10
Fukasaku: "Don't move".
Naruto: ...... // Huh?
Fukasaku: One is first able to feel the energy of nature... / ...when one puts a stop to the flow of one's animal life, and achieves harmony with the flow of nature.
Naruto: So... I just have to stand still? // Sound simple enough... right?
Gamakichi: Naruto, you just don't get it...

11
Fukasaku: Hmph... / For a living creature, not moving is one of the hardest things of all.
Naruto: I've done training where I have to jump about, run, mould a ton of Chakra... all sorts of stuff like that... / But "not moving"... that's not like any training I've ever done... // But fine... if it's going to let me use this "natural energy"...!
Fukasaku: Don't be so hasty... This training is going to take some time. // That's the difficult part.
Naruto: I can't be wasting too much time on all this, you know that! // Isn't there a quicker way to do it?
Fukasaku: Well, I suppose there is one way...
Naruto: What?

12
Fukasaku: These falls behind me are formed of the secret Toad Oil of Mount Myouboku.
Naruto: Toad oil?
Fukasaku: Come over here and stretch out your hand.
Naruto: ? // Okay... // What's this for, then?

13
Fukasaku: The Toad Oil has the power to draw in natural energy. / It should help you out in your training.
Naruto: Ohh! That's pretty useful stuff! // ...I think I can feel something just there, on my skin...
Fukasaku: If you cover your body in this Toad Oil... // ...then the natural energy will flow through it into your body. // And if you do that... / ...then you will gradually gain the ability to sense that energy with your skin. // This is a quick way to grasp the necessary senses. // In other words, in the end, you'll be able to feel the energy even without the oil. // But there is a risk...

14
Naruto: ?!
Fukasaku: If someone without the necessary control takes in natural energy, he begins to turn into a frog.
Naruto: Aaaaaaghhh!!

15
Naruto: Aaaagh!! Help me!! // Aaaaghhhh!! // Owwww! // Wh - What're you... / ! // I'm... back to normal...

16
Fukasaku: It's all a matter of balance. // Mental energy, physical energy and natural energy... // One cannot form senjutsu chakra without moulding all three with the proper balance!!
Naruto: ......Balance, huh...
Fukasaku: You're used to moulding mental energy and physical energy in ninjutsu, so you should be able to balance those two fine already. // The truly difficult part is balancing the volume of the external, natural energy with that of the other two. // If you have too little, then you can't form any senjutsu chakra. // But if you end up with too much... / ...then the natural energy overwhelms you, and you turn into a frog.

17
Fukasaku: Now, if it's only a little too much you've taken in, I can turn you back to normal... // But if you take in way too much of that natural energy... / ...then you'll be stuck as a frog, never able to turn back for the rest of your life.
Gamakichi: When I was saying about dying, I was talking about the possibility that your life as a human would end.
Fukasaku: And once you become a frog, you just keep on becoming a part of nature... // You can see the fate of those who have failed at this training in the statues here before you.

18
Naruto: These are all...
Fukasaku: Well... you shouldn't worry too much. You've got me, after all. // This stick of mine is a tool that beats the natural energy out of you. // If I see you starting to turn into a frog, I'll beat you back to normal in no time.
Naruto: ......
Fukasaku: Let me be frank with you. / Even Jiraiya-chan never managed to pull this off perfectly. // Whenever Jiraiya-chan moulded senjutsu chakra, his body would twist into a somewhat frog-like form. // But even so, he managed to mould the chakra.

19
Fukasaku: I hardly think you will turn back at this point... / ...but I will ask anyway... which will you choose?
Naruto: ...... // My Way of the Ninja... // ...is the same of Ero-sennin's!
Fukasaku: Good! Well said, once again!

20
Hachibi: I've got power to spare, and my charm is shinin' bright~!♪ // The Hachibi is the ultimate Killer Bee, yeah, that's me! / OH! YEAH~! // Don't start a fight with me, you'll just end up in shame~!♪ / I'd get the hell out of here before...
Karin/Suigetsu: ......

21
Karin: Wh... What the hell... is this guy...? / Juugo got taken out by a freak like this...?
Hachibi: ...... // ...your ass...
Suigetsu: (How the hell can he use my Kubikiri Houchou like that...? // What is this guy...?)
Juugo: Ngh...
Sasuke: I'll handle this.
