Naruto 359

Translator Notes: The Karura is a mythical bird-man creature of Hindu lore who was later adopted into the Buddhist pantheon as a protector deity. The gold-colored "Karura" had a human body but the wings and face/beak of an eagle. In early Hindu literature, Karuda appears as the mount (avatar) of Lord Vishnu, and is thus semi-divine. In Tibetan tradition, Karura (Khyung) is a mythical bird, similar to an eagle, but of gigantic proportions, able to block the sunlight with its size. Remember those statues that had the three-eye Tomoe Sharingan behind them during the Deidara vs. Itachi fight? That's similar to Karura, I guess. I'm guessing Karura will be a summon type of some sort.

One more note. Since I live in Japan, a lot of the time the Raws come in as I'm sleeping (between 3am and 5am), so I doubt I'll ever get my translations up before the other guys who are translating (Nihongaeri and Hisshou), so I'm going to take a little more time with my translation, as well as put more of my personality into my work as opposed to rushing and making it boring. Let's see how this experiment turns out.

Deidara: The Akatsuki?
Deidara: Never heard of you guys.　And why are you guys trespassing? Your kind isn't wanted here.
Sasori: I suppose I'll have to take care of this brat.
Sasori: He looks like the type that'd get himself dead in a second, though.
Itachi: This is an order coming down from above. His abilities will help us...
Deidara: You know what I'm capable of?!
Deidara: Just who the hell are you guys?
Kisame: In the surrounding countries you've been co-operating with terrorists and engaging in bombings.
Kisame: Just what do you think you're going to accomplish by doing that...?

Deidara: What am I going to accomplish? Hrmph, I don't have any motive...
Deidara: Someone asked me to make something go boom, and boom it went. That's what I do. I make things that make other things go boom.
Sasori: What are you talking about?
Deidara: Take a look at this!
Deidara: What do you think? This was made with polished lines and two-dimensional deformation.
Deidara: Yes, this is art! True art!
Deidara: But of course, this isn't the only thing I'm capable of!
Deidara: My artwork is refined! My sculptures cannot be surpassed!

Deidara: What the hell is up with his eyes?
Deidara: You'll take me on?
Itachi: If I win, you'll join the Akatsuki. No, when I win.
Deidara: My art is no joke...!
Deidara: There is nothing more supreme than my beautiful art!

the kanji reads "Katsu"

Deidara: You're finished!

Itachi: I'd take a look at yourself, if I were you.
Kisame: Wow kid, that was a close one. You almost blew yourself up there.
Sasori: Yup, he's definitely the type that's gonna get himself killed quickly.
Deidara: Genjutsu..!?
Deidara: When the hell...?
Kisame: From the very beginning, kid.
Kisame: From the moment you gazed into Itachi's Sharingan.

Page 13
Deidara: That is....
Deidara: ...true art.

Page 14
Deidara: Ergh..
Deidara: Ridiculous... how could I get caught in something like that...?
Deidara: Is that art!? Is that what it is?
Deidara: It can't be... It can't be...!
Itachi: You lost.

Page 15
Deidara: It's time to stop screwing around, I'm better than he is.
Deidara: My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable! My art cannot lose to anyone!
Deidara: I am superior to you! I'm not going to lose!
Deidara: I'm gonna... I'm gonna...
Deidara: Grr...

Deidara: Get ready! This next one is a killer piece!
Deidara: Tobi! Get out of here!
Tobi: Whoa! I gotta make like a banana and split!
Tobi: It's the C4 God, Karura!
