Naruto Ch. 314 Unsolicited and unnecessary translation
Because there's no such thing as having too many translations for a single manga! :p
(actually, I really wanted to try my hand at some of the lines in this chapter... can't say I feel I really succeeded, though).
Would appreciate feedback on translation mistakes and typos, as always.
Page 1.
Title: Akatsuki strikes!
Page 2.
Who appears before the two Akatsuki as they complete their hunt?!
Zetsu(katakana): 'seems you're done with the hunt...
Zetsu(katakana): And that ridiculously long ceremony as well.
Hidan: Oh, man! C'mon, first him and now you?
Hidan: You heathens wanna gimme a break already!
*Thanks to Taylor for his suggestion on these last two lines. :)
Zetsu(hiragana): In sadness, you have no one else.
Zetzu(katakana): The one thing you can put your faith in is yourself.
Page 3.
Kakuzu: I beg to differ. The one thing you can put your faith in is money.
Hidan: I knew it! There he goes!
Hidan: You know, it's thanks to that stupid side job of yours that our search for "jinchuuriki" is taking this long!
Kakuzu: Hey, I teamed up with you 'cuz you said there was money in religion.
Kakuzu: I'm Akatsuki's treasurer - try putting yourself in *my* shoes.
Zetsu(hiragana): There's no denying money's important!
Zetsu(katakana): More important is that you get on with your search.
Zetsu(katakana): I'll look after this "two tail" in the meantime.
Page 4.
Hidan: Hey, this is a temple...'you thinking we'll find it in a place like this?
Kakuzu: Dunno...
Kakuzu: But this is no ordinary temple... so there's a good chance we *might.*
Page 5.
Monk A: What is that?
Monk B: The Great Iron Gate has been breached!
Monk C: Inform Chiriku-Sama at once!
Hidan: From the look on their faces, I'd say the Church of Jashin won't be making any converts today!
Monk A: Those uniforms... doubtless it's those we hear of...
Monk A: Akatsuki!
Page 6.
Young Monk(ey): We have intruders in the temple!
Chiriku: Who, pray?
Monkey-chan: They who are known as "Akatsuki"!
Chiriku: Indeed I had feared this day would come...
Chiriku: *I* shall face them.
Chiriku: Of the rest, I demand only support.
Hidan: Here we go...*another* righteous one...
Kakuzu: In more ways than one. His head is worth 30 million "ryou" (currency) in our bingo book.
Page 7.
Hidan: Dude...we're not here for profit, ya know.
Hidan: You kill a monk for money, you burn in hell.
Kakuzu: They say money makes the *under*world turn.
Kakuzu: So I might as well.
Chiriku: I know not your aim here, but you will leave at once!
Hidan: No need for pointless killing, eh?
Hidan: Unfortunately, that just doesn't fly with my sect.
Kakuzu: The temple of ninja hailed as Fire Country's "Temple of fire"...
Kakuzu: It is said the monks are masters of a special power known as "The Hermit's Skill"...
Page 8.
Kakuzu: None moreso than our 30 million dollar man here*... An elite ninja who was once part of the "Twelve Ninja Warrior Bodyguards" who protect Fire Country's Daimyou.
*Sue me for the pun, if you like.
Hidan: One of the "Twelve Ninja Warrior Bodyguards"*?
*Hey, I don't make up the terms, I just translate them. Fun fact: if you read these characters etymologically, you could translate the term as "Twelve Enduring Penis Administration Protectors." And no, I'm not making this up.
Hidan: So he's that big a deal, huh?
Kakuzu: The cloth with the emblem of Fire Country hanging from his waist attests to that.
Kakuzu: Try not to let your guard down, or you'll end up dead.
Hidan: How many times do I have to say there's no point in telling me that, Kakuzu!
Page 9.
Kakashi: Alright...time to train!
Naruto: Heheheh!
Kakashi: What is it?
Naruto: No, no, it's just like... you know, it's been a long time since I trained with you and stuff, Kakashi-Sensei...
Naruto: 'can't quite put my finger on why, but I'm real excited!
Kakashi: Well, you won't be smiling for long, hahahah!
Page 10.
Kakashi: Seeing as how time's not exactly on our side and all.
Kakashi: Like I told you back at the hospital, the purpose of this training is to develop your very own ultimate Ninjustu.
Kakashi: One greater than Rasengan.
Kakashi: To achieve as much, there are two requisite skills: the ability to "change the nature" of chakra and the ability to "change the form" of chakra.
Naruto: Change the nature and the form of chakra?
Kakashi: Yeah... Take "Chidori", for instance... you change the nature of chakra so that it resembles electric current...
Kakashi: And then you change its form so that it resembles an electric discharge...thus fixing the power and range of the attack.
Page 11.
Kakashi: In that sense, Rasengan's a bit different from Chidori, in that you could say it only requires you to master the ability to change the form of chakra.
Kakashi: Since it's a justu that consists of focusing chakra by making it spin violently at high speed...
Kakashi: The ability to change the nature of chakra doesn't factor into the equation.
Naruto: Yeah, that whole naturally changing thing...*
Kakashi: In order to create a jutsu more powerful than Rasengan, this "ability to change the nature of chakra" becomes absolutely necessary.
Naruto: Yeah, got it! Alright! I'm all pumped for this natural change stuff!
*All this time, Kakashi is speaking in Kanji, while Naruto answers in Katakana. What this means is that Naruto has no idea what he's saying when he repeats the words "ability to change the nature of chakra" - he's just sounding them out. I wanted to bring that out in this translation, so I tweaked his lines a bit.
Kakashi: 'can't say it looks like he's getting any of this... But in the end, he's the type that learns things by *doing* them, so this shouldn't pose much of a problem.
Kakashi: But the mastery of such a skill takes a great deal of time...
Kakashi: Just a while ago I meant to tell you how it is that we're going to cut the amount of time needed dramatically.
Page 12.
Naruto: Right!.... so, how?
Kakashi: No point keeping you in suspense, so...
Kakashi: That would be...
Asuma: Somehow, I feel I'm beginning to understand what you kept saying to me back then...
Page 13.
Asuma: You'll have to forgive me for having left Konoha, and always doing as I pleased ...
Asuma: Although I can't say I regret it...
Asuma: Now, I'm even beginning to think it might not have been so bad that I was born into the Sarutobi clan...
Asuma: You were pretty awesome - exemplary in your role as Village Elder...
Page 14.
Asuma: Pop...*
*father.
Page 15.
Hidan: So... no Jinchuuriki here either.
Hidan: As soon as I'm done with my prayers, dude, it's on to the next location!
Kakuzu: Not quite.
Kakuzu: We're picking up the bounty on this corpse. Money comes first.
Hidan: Dude... mind if I get real pissed at you this once? I mean, seriously...
Page 16.
Monk(ey?): I must inform Konoha!
Kakuzu: It's vast, Fire Country... the more detours we take, the more ground we cover.
Hidan: That settles it! All these delays are your fault and your freakin' fault *only*! Shit!
Akatsuki continues to kick ass and take names! Will konoha bust out the ole' can o' whoop-ass? Next time: Monkey boy tells on Akatsuki*!
*sue me. :amuse

I'm always too literal~
Wise man say: always the meaning, not the words. Uhum, yes. I'll be needing my Yoda avatar now... :p
wise man say: fucking with icons is no good
I like your comment about the "Twelve Enduring Penis Measure Protectors." Its always good to see where words have come from
忍 = Endure in silence, conceal.　
士 = Honorable warrior/Samurai. Actually a pictograph of an erect dick, meant to evoque manhood (thus the meaning).
守 = Measure + house = administrate -> protect.
The origin of most Kanji can be broken up into the following categories: sex/genitalia, agriculture, natural landscapes, killing with sharp and pointy objects and sacrifices to the gods.
We may assume life in ancient china revolved almost exclusively around these matters. :tem
Thanks.
Well, some lines might be overdone, some underdone, but one thing I'd like to point out is that the monks in the temple, for instance? They speak in a ... kinda ultra-formal/dramatic classical Japanese-ish sort of way.
So, while sometimes it's the translator that overdoes a line, often it's the original manga.
Some translators don't worry too much about the tone in which the original's written, so when comparing lines from different translations it might seem one of them's over doing it, but this is not *necessarily* the case - it might be that the other's underdoing it, so to speak.
:)
I like this one..
And that's actually a pun that was in the original text.
地獄の沙汰も金次第
Lit. something like "In hell, things are settled through money"
Which actually means...
どんなにむずかしいことでも、金さえあれば思い通りになる、ということのたとえ。
"Expression meaning that no matter the difficulty, all you need for things to go your way is money."
So you have a similar expression in English: "money makes the world go 'round/turn."
Since hell is the underworld, I opted to translate it as "money makes the underwold turn."
I don't know how other translators handled this particular line, but if there's no pun, then you're missing something that's in the original text.
This might be preferable to a bad pun, mind you, so I'm not saying you *need* one - I just mean to ilustrate how sometimes it seems like you're overdoing your translation, when you're not.
Keep up the good work Iwa-niisan!! :grin
First off though, spelling area :p
hmmm as for here:
I'd go like...
Come' on First him, and now you?!
Can those that know nothing about prayer shut the hell up!?
I like Yoropiko's
dunno why, but I think plural might be better?
just some FYI stuff, the city I live in in Japan, Numata, is home to the largest Tengu mask :p.
http://www.city.numata.gunma.jp/introduction/kasho.html
You can see Tengu stuff all over so it's kinda like our mascot :D (sorry the statues made me want to comment :p) + I always thought tengu kicked ass.
maybe doubtless it's those that've been spoken of would be better? dunno... just didn't flow natural to me :p.
why did you choose the word pray?
and you did a great job :ossu
seriously I doubt I could have done anything better... you da man :ossu
:lmao
Anyway, you rock!! I loved the flow of the dialogue, especially with Hidan and Kakuzu.
Chiriku: Who, pray? (not sure i understand you there.. mistake?)
Page 9
Naruto: 'can't quite put my finder on why, but I'm real excited! (spelling error, you mean finger)
Other then that i enjoyed your translation alot ^^ especially the last line
haha I guess I didn't make my post stand out enough :p. Thanks angry^^
love your colorings btw, especially the Ino one :ossu
offtopic: WOW!! I didn't think anyone looked at my colorings :blush:, tnx for noticing me ^^ /offtopic
and yea, sorry... i missed your post ^^
Thank you, my friend! 'never actually tire of hearing it...
Nii-san? Well, it's better than "baa-san", that's for sure.
It could be said fingers are, in a way, finders. I mean, don't *you* run your index finger through the pages of a dictionary in order to *find* the word you're looking for? well? :noworry
... *quietly goes to fix it*....
Ah! But those who know nothing about prayer = t3h heathens.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heathens
But that would indeed make my line redundant, now that I think about it...
I think I'll change it to this:
Oh, man! C'mon, first him and now you?
You heathens wanna gimme a break already!
First him and now you = good translation for "doitsu mo koitsu mo" in this context. :ossu
Heathen, heathen, heathen, :p
The definition of "pray", as given by Merriam-webster's online dictionary:
1 : ENTREAT, IMPLORE -- often used as a function word in introducing a question, request, or plea <pray be careful>
2 : to get or bring by praying
It's like in the expression "who-pray-tell-is-this":
http://fadedyouth.blogspot.com/2006/06/and-who-pray-tell-is-this.html
It's basically the same thing. It's just a very polite/refined way to ask for something. Of course, it's also somewhat archaic, so nowadays you don't normally use it unless you're mocking someone.
But you won't have any trouble finding it today in prose rendered in a "classical" style:
41. 'Yonder man with a swollen belly, his whole frame shaking as he pants, his arms and shoulders hanging loose, his body all pale and thin, uttering plaintively the word "mother," when he embraces a stranger,--who, pray, is this? (taken from http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/sbe49/sbe4905.htm )
At last Mrs. James said, "Pray, sir, who was that
masque with you in the dress of a shepherdess? ( http://www.readbookonline.net/read/32/1614/ )
Since the monks are basically speaking in classical(ish?) Japanese, I figured it would be suitable... 'never occured to me a lot of people wouldn't get it. :s
My traducción, es tu traducción... :amuse ... 実は、伝説の翻訳者の貴方に台詞を盗まれるなんて、光栄ですよ。Or something to that effect.
But since we never seem to agree on what constitutes good corniness, I'm sure I would have loved your original translation for that line... ;)
いや、別に可笑しくするつもりはなかったが。。。まあぁ、いいけど。 :darn
I'm not sure what I wrote just now, but what I meant to say is that I wasn't trying to make it funnier than it already is... guess it's just a curse gift. :darn
Oh, well! Always glad to provide a laugh, though! :amuse
PLUG: Looking for a laugh? Stay tuned to mangahelpers for the upcoming re-release of Raruto 01, bastardized retranslated by yours truly!
Anyway, sorry for taking so long getting back to you guys! It's just I don't always log on during the weekends.
But anyway, a big thanks to all of you for commenting! It's always encouraging to have your translations read despite the fact no one will actually *use* them in an actual scanlation. :)
Kakuzu: "As long as I have the money it'll be in a VIP suite"
...
*crawls into hole to die*
Hehe, this is another workable version. Very funky - I like it too. ;D
