Oboro: Things that I had recognized
just a short time earlier
became
unrecognizable.

Guys: Is this all of them?
.....
Yes.

Page 3:
Guys: With this, ["this" in italics.]
it's over.
Oboro: ----Am I
going to become like that, too?

Page 4:
Oboro: Is this
what they call death,
Shinigami?

Author: Sorachi Hideaki

SFX: DOH
Matako: Dammit!! How long are those guys gonna follow us!!
Takechi: Shinsuke-dono!!
It we have been divided from Katsura and the Kaientai. At this rate...
Shinsuke: Divided?
I don't remember ever walking in step with that lot.
I have no intention of falling into dept anymore.
Eventually I will pay it all back with interest.

Page 6:
Shinsuke: Of course
that goes for you, too,
Oboro.

Page 7:
Someone: So, you've come?
Good work guiding them.
Harusame has started to withdraw.
You all should retreat as well.
Hurry, go.
Go and work as Utsuro-sama's arms and legs.
Matako: !
You... What the hell're you planning?
Harusame... retreated?!
Ain't your goal to crush us rebel forces......?
Oboro: It was outside of our expectations for you all to survive this deadly situation,
but that is not the true motive behind this war. That man's goal has already been achieved.
Before the weight of that man achieving his long cherished goal,
what happens to the lives of insects crawling on the ground is a trifling matter.

Page 8:
Taka: Then why
are you here?
To give excuses
for why you lost a war to those insects?
Oboro: Because I know
that the insects that crawl on the ground
sometimes grow wings.
And they have shown themselves to flap them hard enough to even reach the heavens.
There are insects which, no matter how many times they have their wings plucked or are knocked back down to earth,
do not stop resisting.
As an insect who was given wings by the same man,
I know.

Page 9:
Taka: The same man?
You mean that absurd monster crow and Sensei?
Yoshida Shouyou is dead.
And vengeance is right before my eyes.
Utsuro: I do not care either way.
Whether it... Yoshida Shouyou or Utsuro,
I simply
remove obstacles in that man's way.
I will simple use the fire that is left in this life,
to burn away your wings!

Page 10:
Utsuro: ----The one closest to death
yet the one farthest from death.
That is me, the Shinigami.
You humans are born, mature, grow old, and perish.
But I do not age nor die.
All I am able to do is live on, unchanging, endlessly.
So I could not possibly understand the feelings of someone like you who is about to die.
For me, someone that cannot change,
this is all I can do.
SFX: DOH

Page 11:
Utsuro: To still
try to understand people...
To still try to become a person.
To resist.
Utsuro: What
are you...
SFX: DOKUN (Heartbeat)
Utsuro: My apologies.
I cannot even die as your enemy.
My offense cannot be atoned for with death.
So at the very least

Page 12:
Utsuro: I wish for you to live
and continue hating me.
SFX: GAKYAAA
Utsuro: Back then,
I died.
I became an object
just like those people.
So I decided to become that man's property.

Page 13:
Utsuro: I had been sold off like a slave and caught up in power struggle anyhow.
I was fated to be an insect that no one would mourn.
So until the blood that held me together ran out,
I decided I would swear loyalty to that man.
My, my, you are quite a bit of trouble, aren't you?
I told you to leave once your injuries had healed.
We, Naraku, stole your home.
Yet if you stay here, you will end up becoming an assassin.
Oboro: Please, teach me. If there is anything I can do to be of use to you, Sensei, then I will do it.
Utsuro: I am not a sensei.
To me, you are a Sensei I owe much gratitude and have great respect for.
It is not a word for an assassin. I cannot give anything to anyone.
Rather, I would like to join children and learn with them.
Learn of what to do to be able to wash these bloodstained hands.
Oboro: Then why not try it yourself?
You as Sensei applying yourself diligently alongside your students at a school.
I am sure you would be far better suited to that, Sensei.

Page 14:
Utsuro: If someone came to a school for assassins, all they would learn from me are dtangerous techniques.
Oboro: You have not taught me that, have you?
SFX: BOKI BOKI (CRACK CRACK)
Oboro: If Sensei really was a bad person, I would already be a fine assassin.
I will give on killing techniques,
so will you let me be
your first disciple at your school?

,Guy: Our leader has disappeared.
There have been suspicions of him abandoning his assassination missions and guiding targets to their escape,
and disappeared in the face of an inquiry.
As you know, seceding from the group is strictly forbidden. He must be penalized.
With that in mind, go out and search for him.
Handwritten: HAA HAA
Utsuro: Oh? I thought I had finally gotten away from Naraku.
Oboro: Sensei!!

Page 16:
Oboro: What are you doing up there so carefree?!! What is going on with the organization?!
Utsuro: I had to do at least this much if I wanted to lure you outside, did I not?
It seems that the fastest way to tear you away from Naraku was for me to leave as well.
Oboro: !! Sensei, you don't mean...
Usuro: No. I have had this insidious plot since before you came.
But it may have been thanks to you that I found the resolve to carry it out.
Even if I have committed crimes that cannot be atoned for even with death, I can live and continue making up for them.
I will fight as well. With the shinigami inside of me.
Oboro: B... But because of me, the organization is pursuing you, Sensei...
Utsuro: And you're one of them. If you count yourself as one of the members of Naraku, that is.
But I will accept you as one of my own members.
We promised, didn't we?
That you would be my first disciple.

Oboro: Shouka Sonjuku? What is that?
Utsuro: It is the name of my school.
Oboro: What do you mean?
Utsuro: It was born under a pine tree
just now.
T/N: "Shouka" literally means "Under a pine tree".
Utsuro: Right now it is just you and me,
but eventually, we will hopefully have many comrades and many disciples gathered under this pine tree.

Oboro: Disciples, huh?
I'm looking forward to it.
