サイと言います
Hi, my name is Sai.
Frame 6, Yamato:
まあ、とにかく顔合わせはこれで終わり。これから、ボクらカカシ班の任務を説明する。
Well, at least we have introductions out of the way. Now to explain the mission that we, Team Kakashi, will undertake.
Page 3
Frame 2, Yamato:
これより我々四名は天地橋を目指し 大蛇丸の組織に潜入している暁のスパイを拘束し連れ帰る。
The four of us will first head for the Tenchikyou... There we will find the Akatsuki spy who infiltrated Orochimaru's organization, capture him, and bring him back to the village.
("Tenchikyou" = "Bridge of Heaven and Earth")
Frame 3, Yamato:
大蛇丸とうちはサスケの情報が手に入るチャンスだ。
This is a chance for us to acquire information on Orochimaru and Uchiha Sasuke.
Frame 4, Yamato:
大蛇丸暗殺とサスケ奪取の両方の作戦を立案できる貴重な情報源を入手することになる。
If we succeed with the mission, it will allow us to gain an invaluable source of information in the planning of both Orochimaru's assassination and Sasuke's retrieval.

心してかかるように!
So keep your minds on our goal!
Page 4
Frame 1, Yamato:
今から一時間後に正門に集合!忍具を調えた後、出発する!
Meet at the village gates in one hour! Once you've gathered your equipment we'll leave!
Frame 3, Naruto:
あのサイってヤロー 気に食わねーってばよ!
That Sai asshole... I don't like him, I'm tellin' ya!
Frame 4, Naruto:
何でサスケの代わりがあいつなんだ カカシ班は三人で十分なのによ!
Why does *he* have to be Sasuke's replacement... Team Kakashi was doing just fine with only three people!
Frame 6, Sakura:
確かに口は悪いけど サイってどことなくサスケ君に似てると思わない?顔とか声とか
He may have a foul mouth... But don't you think that Sai is similar to Sasuke in a way? Like his face or his voice...
Page 5
Frame 1, Naruto:
フン!ぜんっぜん似てねーってばよ!サスケの方がカッコイイ じゃなかった マシだってばよ!
Yeah right! They don't look anything alike! Sasuke looks tons better... Err, no wait... He doesn't look as bad I mean!
Frame 4, Sakura:
そうね、サスケ君の方がサイよりちょっとカッコイイよね。
You're right, Sasuke-kun does look a little bit better than Sai.
Frame 4, Naruto:
ちょっとじゃねーってばよ!サスケの方がぜんっぜんマシだってばよ!!
Not just a "little bit"! Sasuke doesn't look anywhere near that bad!!
Page 8
Frame 2, ANBU Member:
いい動きだ。いいか いつ何時も気を抜くな。
... Nice reflexes. No matter what... Don't you ever let your guard down.
Frame 4, Sai:
何です? 先輩。
What do you want? ... Sempai.
(A "sempai" is, in this case, one's senior in an organization.)
Page 9
Frame 1, ANBU Member:
コレを使え ダンゾウ様からの贈り物だ。
Here... Danzou-sama sends you this to use.

Listen to me, with this top-secret mission assigned to you, you are entrusted with the goals of the custodian of our village's future, Danzou-sama.
Page 10
Frame 1, Catwoman:
ニャーッ!
Meoooow!
Frame 3, ANBU Member:
ネコか
... Just a cat...
Frame 5, ANBU Member:
とにかく、失敗は許されぬ。
... Just remember, failure will not be tolerated.
Page 11
Frame 1, Sai:
分かっています。
I know that.
Frame 4, ANBU Member:
お前 まだそんなものを持ち歩いていたのか
You... Don't tell me you still carry that thing around...
Frame 5, Sai:
これは
... This is...
Frame 6, ANBU Member:
根には 名前は無い、感情は無い
In "Roots"... You have no name, you have no feelings...
Sidetext Preview:
チーム内に響く不協和音 任務に影響か!?
Sounds of discord resonate within the team... Will they affect the mission!?
Page 12
Frame 1, Sai:
過去は無い 未来は無い。あるのは任務
You have no past... You have no future. What you have is your mission...
Frame 3, ANBU Member:
木ノ葉という大木を目に見えぬ地の中より支える、我々根の意志 忘れるな。
That which supports the great tree of Konoha, unseen from within the ground, is the resolve of our organization, "Roots"... Don't you forget that.
("ne" = "roots")
Frame 5, Sai:
ハイ。
I won't.
Page 13
Frame 1, Tsunade:
そうか もうそんな調子か
Really... So things are already that bad...
Frame 1, Sakura:
ハイ
They are...
Frame 2, Tsunade:
仕方ない とりあえずナルトはお前が上手くコントロールしておけ。
... Well, there's not much I can do... For the time being, just do your best to control Naruto.
Frame 2, Sakura:
一応努力はしてみますけど
I'll make an effort, but still...
Frame 3, SFX:
tonton - *knock knock*
Frame 4, Tsunade:
入れ!
Enter!
Page 14
Frame 2, Sakura:
誰だろう?
I wonder who that is?
Frame 3, Tsunade:
ダンゾウか 何だ?
So it's you Danzou... What do you want?
Page 15
Frame 1, Danzou:
サイの小隊の隊長には優秀な暗部の者を付けて頂けましたかな?綱手姫。
I trust that you assigned a skilled member of ANBU as the team leader for Sai's squad? Tsunade-hime.
("hime" = "princess")
Frame 2, Tsunade:
三代目の在任の時から一番の使い手だった者を選抜した。
I selected the individual who had the highest performance record while working under the Sandaime.
("sandaime" = "third")
Frame 3, Danzou:
結構 ただ、其奴 揉め事嫌いで腰の引けた三代目の教えが 染み付いてなければいいんだな。
... Very well... Still... I can only hope that the teachings of that conflict-shy and indecisive Sandaime... Haven't rubbed off on him.
Frame 5, Tsunade:
フン
... Humph...
Frame 6, Danzou:
三代目に染み付いたアナタのおじい様の教えのようにね。
Just like how the teachings of your venerable grandfather rubbed off on the Sandaime, of course.
Page 16
Frame 3, Danzou:
とりあえず安心はしました。これでゆっくり飯も食える では
Anyhow, I'm pleased for the time being. Now I'll be able to eat my meals without having to worry about other matters... Good day...
Page 17
Frame 1, Sakura:
誰なんです? アレ?
Who exactly... Was *that*?
Frame 3, Tsunade:
昔、三代目火影の椅子を巡って亡き猿飛先生と争った人物だ。
He is a person who, in the past, competed over the chair of Sandaime Hokage with my now deceased teacher, Sarutobi-sensei.
Frame 4, Tsundae:
三代目とは違い、ガチガチな合理的思考に基づく強硬・武闘派路線の主導者でサイの上司だ。
Unlike the Sandaime, he is a cold and calculating leader, a militaristic hard-liner. He is also Sai's superior.
Frame 5, Tsunade:
穏健派だった三代目の教え子で初代火影の孫の私が嫌いなのさ。
Since I'm a student of the moderate Sandaime and granddaughter of the Shodai Hokage, he simply hates me.
("shodai" = "first")
Frame 7, Tsunade:
そろそろ時間だろ さくら。
It's about time... Sakura.
Frame 7, Sakura:
ハイ 行ってきます。
Right... I'll be going then.

Frame 2, Yamato:
よし!では カカシ班、これより出発する!
Alright! Well then... Team Kakashi will now move out!

"ugh"? ...JamesM, Nihongaeri just left it as "ne" to keep it authentic jap... be happy for his 3h+ of work
"zanpauto" sounds better than "soul cutter"
"chakra" wouldn't be replaced by "energy"..
see what i mean? some terms are better left as is... be happy you dont see "根"...
Haha...that's a good one. ;)
They translated "Akatsuki" as "Alba" (="Dawn") in the Italian pubblication. -__-'
A little question: you wrote "sempai", but I thought the correct way to write it was "senpai"...
P.S. I like "Root" more than "Ne", just because the latter is a too short word to sound like a name in English (and in Italian as well).
Ooooo..now i know why it's "m" and not "n". I never knew the real reason behind this usage of phoneme until i read this post. Thanks.
At the end you used "Ne" it seems. Well, I've already got used to it anyway. ^^
So "senpai" and "sempai" it the same? But I'll keep writing "senpai", I like it more for some reasons. °__°
