Title:
ナンバー３０９：九尾との対話！！
Number 309: Pillow Talk with Foxy!!
(Number 309: A Talk with the Nine-Tails!!)

Sidebar:
あの男に伝えろ。人外の域で待つと。
Now it's my snake that's bigger. You might even say inhuman.
(Tell him that I wait... Tell him I wait beyond the fringes of humanity.)

Frame 1, Text:
そして…対話が始まる！！
And thus the pillow talk begins!!
(And thus the talk begins!!)

Frame 2, Foxy McSpinglebar:
ナルトの中のワシが見えるまでになるとはな…忌わしきその写輪眼…呪われた血統の力という訳か
Impressive that you've become able to see me, here inside Naruto... Such would be the power of that accursed Sharingan... and your forsaken ancestry

Frame 5, Sasuke:
どうやらこの“眼”…はじめてではないらしいな…なら…
Well, it would appear... this isn't the first time you've gazed into eyes such as these... Which would make you...

Page 3

Frame 1, Sasuke:
お前が九尾の妖狐か…
... the nine-tailed demon fox, no doubt...

Frame 3, Foxy McSpinglebar:
その瞳力とワシ以上に禍々しいチャクラ…
Eyes with such power and chakra even more sinister than my own...

Frame 5, Foxy McSpinglebar:
かつてのうちはマダラと同じだな…
Not at all unlike what I once saw in a certain Uchiha Madara...

Page 4/5

Frame 3, Sasuke:
知るかよ…そんな奴
Pop goes the weasel, bitch...
(And you expect me to know that person why now?)

Frame 4, Foxy McSpinglebar:
まさかワシの力を押さえ込むまでとはな…
Impossible... That would make you the monkey...
(Unbelievable... to think you'd even be able to suppress my power...)

Frame 6, Foxy McSpinglebar:
…最後になるかもしれんが…一つ…言って…おく…
... but where is... the... mulberry... bush...
(... I may not see you again... but... I... warn... you...)

Page 6

Frame 1, Foxy McSpinglebar:
ナ…ルト…は…殺す…な
Don't... kill... Na... ruto...

Frame 3, Foxy McSpinglebar:
…後…悔…する…ことに…
... you'll... end... up... regretting...

Frame 2, Naruto:
くっ…
Guh...

Frame 2, Sai:
くっ…

Frame 5, Naruto:
サスケ…
Sasuke...

Frame 1, Naruto:
何で分からねーんだ！！もうじきお前の体は大蛇丸にとられちまうんだぞ！！
Why don't you get it!! Your body's going to be stolen by Orochimaru anytime now!!

Frame 5, Sasuke:
そうなったら…そうなっただ
If that happens... then it happens

Page 11

Frame 1, Sasuke:
子供のままだな…ナルト
You're still quite the kid... Naruto

Frame 2, Sasuke:
オレにとっては復讐が全てだ…復讐さえ叶えばオレがどうなろうが、この世がどうなろうが、知ったことじゃない
Revenge means everything to me... As long as I can have my revenge, I could care less what happens to me, or the whole world for that matter

Frame 3, Sasuke:
はっきり言うとだ…イタチは今のオレでも大蛇丸でも倒せない
Let me make it clear for you... For both me and Orochimaru, right now, killing Itachi would be impossible

Frame 4, Sasuke:
だが大蛇丸にオレの体を差し出すことでそれを成し得る力を手に出来るなら…
But if I am able to accomplish my goals through nothing more than offering Orochimaru this body of mine...

Page 12

Frame 1, Sasuke:
こんな命、いくらでもくれてやる
... then he can have my life, and my afterlife for that matter

Page 13

Frame 1, Yamato:
話は終わりだ…ナルトとサクラ…君たちの手前…彼に手荒なマネはしたくなかったが…
That's enough talk... Naruto and Sakura... with you two here... I had hoped not to have to resort to any of my cruder methods...

Frame 2, Yamato:
悪いがもう本気でやるよ…
... but, unfortunately, it's time I get serious...

Frame 3, Sakura:
ヤマト隊長…！
Captain Yamato...!

Frame 4, Sasuke:
木ノ葉か…お前たちはもういい…
Konoha indeed... I'm through with you...

Frame 5, Sasuke:
終わりだ…
Now things end...

サスケ＆サイ編ついに決着！！その結末は果たして…！？
The "Sasuke and Sai" arc finally reaches its conclusion!! What will it be...!?

Page 14

Frame 1, Orochimaru:
その術は止めておきなさい…サスケくん
Now, now, there's no need to use *that* jutsu... Sasuke-kun

Frame 3, Sasuke:
離せ
Remove your hand

Page 15

Frame 1, Kabuto:
こらこら…大蛇丸様に向かってまたそんな口の利き方を…
There you go again... forgetting exactly *who* it is your talking to...

Frame 2, Sasuke:
…止める理由はない
... I have no reason to stop

Frame 3, Kabuto:
今の“暁”の動きを君も知ってるよね
You know quite well what Akatsuki is up to

Frame 4, Kabuto:
この木ノ葉の人達には“暁”を始末しておいてもらいたいんだよ…一人でも多くね…
We want to have our guests here from Konoha take care of as many of them as possible... even just one would be fine....

Frame 5, Kabuto:
他の“暁”に邪魔されると…君の復讐も上手くいかなくなるだろ…
If the other Akatsuki members get in your way... your plans for revenge could hit a snag, right...?

Frame 6, Sasuke:
…情けない理由だな
... that's quite the pathetic excuse

Page 16

Frame 1, Kabuto:
復讐の可能性を１パーセントでも上げるためだよ…そうだろ…？
But surely you'd allow it if it meant increasing the chances of your revenge succeeding by even 1%... right...?

Frame 4, Orochimaru:
行くわよ
It's time we leave, my darlings
(Yes, Orochimaru is this creepy)

熱望した再会も“想い”届かず。ただじっと、己の無力をかみしめ…。
The long-awaited reunion leaves hopes unfulfilled. The only thing left for Naruto to do is silently reflect on his inability to do anything...
