Naruto 362

Notes: Sorry for the incredibly late translation on this. This past weekend in Japan was Marine Day and as such I had a fantastic three day holiday that was filled with laughs, games, drinking and other kinds of debauchery. I only got around to looking at this issue just this evening, so even though it's late, I figured I'd still translate it just to keep consistent. Hope people still read it though...

On a side note, for those who are wondering about Major, I have the half of the first entire volume nearly translated, which is why it's been more than a month since I've posted a translation for it. I've considered jumping to the current issues but I'm afraid of losing consistency and not understanding the storyline. However, if there are any groups that are currently covering Major and would like me to translate issues, let me know via PM and we'll try to work something out.

Sidebar: His Sharingan has seen through everything!

Deidara: You were able to see my mines underneath the ground....?
Deidara: So, he didn't drive his katana into the ground to find a place where my mines where to create a foothold.
Deidara: It was to test his theory; to see if my mines would be defused if pierced...
Deidara: What if you couldn't defuse my mines? If they went off, what were you planning on doing?
Sasuke: I had a backup plan, naturally.
Sasuke: Luckily for you, I didn't need it.

Deidara: Heh... Still trying to act stylish, are ya?
Deidara: Seems like you've reached your limit too, though.
Deidara: Hehehe, I'm going to beat you into the ground!

Deidara: I'M TIRED OF THIS SHIT!
Deidara: YOU AND YOUR STUPID FUCKIN' BROTHER!
Deidara: You both think you're so cool!
Deidara: Those eyes! How it pierces my very nature!
Deidara: Those accursed eyes, always looking down and disrespecting my wondrous art!

page 9
Deidara: Those eyes, when they look at my art, they do not gaze in awe at the spectacle before them!
Deidara: Unallowed! Those eyes, the ones that neglect my brilliant work!
Sasuke: That's not what it's about. More importantly than what you want, tell me where Itachi is.
