Naruto 356

Japan is good for drinking. Woo. :D Yes, I went drinking before I came home and sat down to translate this. 300 just opened in Japan (yes, very late) and I had a blast. It was really good! Any way, enjoy the translation.

Sidebar: Before Sasuke's feet appear....!?
Sasuke: Come out, whoever the hell you are.

5
Sakura: What is it?
Ninja Dog: The scent isn't too clear, but it's getting closer.
Ninja Dog: It's close by...

6
Ninja Dog: It's no good, the scent is gone.

Yamato: Naruto, Hinata... you know what to do.
Naruto: Yeah.
Hinata: Understood.
Naruto: You....

8
Kabuto: Looks like I've been discovered.
Yamato: Yakushi Kabuto, I see.
Yamato: You've got a lot of guts by approaching us. We were ordered to detain you on several charges by the village.
Kabuto: I need to speak with Naruto for a bit.

9
Naruto: ....
Naruto: Did Sasuke really defeat Orochimaru!?
Kabuto: Heh, still after Sasuke, are you.
Kabuto: Yeah, it's true. He defeated Orochimaru.
Kabuto: But more importantly than that, today I've come to deliver to you a present, Naruto.
Sasuke: The cloak that you are wearing....

10
Tobi: You're Sasuke?
Tobi: Hmmm... yeah, you definitely resemble Itachi-san!
Tobi: Shit he's pissed!

Deidara's seal is Katsu

Nothing

13
Deidara: Heh!
Yamato: What is this?
Kabuto: This is the information that we had gathered on the Akatsuki previously.
Naruto: Why this...?
Kabuto: I'm giving it to you...

14
Yamato: By that you're saying that you want something from Konoha in exchange..?
Kabuto: No, not at all.. Konoha isn't that naive.
Yamato: Then what is it? Unlike Orochimaru, the Akatsuki isn't chasing after you.
Kabuto: This is to show my thanks and gratitude to Naruto.
Kabuto: After all, Akatsuki is going after you.
Naruto: Gratitude...?
Kabuto: I.... Orochimaru has died. And now I don't know what I truly am inside...
Kabuto: ....

15
Kabuto: I don't know who my parents are, nor where I'm from. And I have numerous enemies.
Kabuto: To someone like me, who has gone on to spy on countless countries and villages ever since I was a child...
Kabuto: Countries and villages were things that were unclear to me.
Kabuto: Up until I became Orochimaru's subordinate, that is... So now, I don't have any use for this.
Kabuto: What the hell am I...
Kabuto: An identity of nothing. This suffering... you understand it, Naruto.
Kabuto: You, Uzumaki Naruto, and the Kyuubi...
Kabuto: The former you would've made someone glance at you coldly, and you'd be forced to think to yourself, "just what the hell is wrong with me?"

16
Tobi: Looks like you did a little bit of damage.
Deidara: Gah, I can't believe this brat was the one who offed Orochimaru!
Deidara: Hee, look at those eyes, Tobi!
Tobi: I gotta apologize to Itachi-san after this...

17
Kabuto: But you Naruto...
Kabuto: You believe in your own power. You believe in yourself, Uzumaki Naruto.
Kabuto: You took on the Kyuubi and surmounted it.
Kabuto: You know what you are...
Kabuto: Your comrades also appreciate you.
Kabuto: I wanted to surpass Orochimaru... however I've relied too much on his power...
Kabuto: So now I understand what you're going through...
Kabuto: And now I realize...
Kabuto: I also want to be like you, so this time...

18
Kabuto: I shall find a new and powerful me, and surpass Orochimaru!

19
Kabuto: I shall find a new and powerful me.. I got the hint from you.
Kabuto: So I had to thank you for it, Naruto.
Kabuto: Orochimaru-sama is the symbol of resurrection!
Kabuto: To make my dreams a reality, he continues to live within me!
