Naruto 297 Raw Translation by Ryoma Echizen

Title: Sai's Mission

Sidebar: Guided by the golden light. Now, she steps into the sun!

-Page 2-

Narrator: Sai confronts Orochimaru. What is his objective?

Orochimaru: Danzou... So that senile old geezer is still alive.

So what buisness might you have with me?

Sai: I have a message from Danzou-sama for Orochimaru-sama.

However...

Before that...

Orochimaru: Choose your words very carefully when speaking to me

or you will die.

Sai: I won't speak in any other way than Danzou-sama has instructed me to.

If there is something you don't like, please do as you see fit.


-Page 3-

Orochimaru: You really are a boy that doesn't mind his manners.

-Page 4-

-Page 5-

Orochimaru: When speaking with your betters, it is proper manners to show your face when you speak.

-Page 6-


-Page 7-

Sakura: The wound's healing rate is slow.

Up to now, Naruto would heal much faster by using Kyuubi's chakra

Yamato: The 4th tail that Jiraiya-sama foretold... unthinkable for it to be this much...

-Page 8-

Sakura: Yamato-taichou (Captain Yamato)

The jutsu that stopped Naruto earlier...

That jutsu... will you teach to me as well?

Yamato: That is impossible.

The only person in Konoha that can use that jutsu is me who has Shodaime cells.


-Page 9-

Yamato: The power to forcefully control Kyuubi's chakra...

Even I, as an experimental copy can't compare with the original Shodaime.

That thing around Naruto's neck was once Shodaime's.

It responds to only Shodaime's chakra.

It is in fact a crystal of chakra.

With that a Jinchuuriki's power can be restrained.

Shodaime Hokage-sama was said to have been Hokage because of this power.

...This is the reason I was chosen as this team's captain as well.

Sidebar: The fierce battle is at an end!! With the fighting done what of Naruto? What of Sai?

-Page 10-

Sakura: It's always like this...

All I can do for Naruto are only the smallest things.

-Page 11-

Yamato: What you can do is not a matter of how much or how little.

The important thing is that you care a lot about Naruto, is it not

Sakura... by looking at you I understand.

You really...

-Page 12-

Naruto: Sakura-chan

*Ow... Ow ow* (sounds of pain)

Sakura: Naruto...

Naruto: Wha? What happened to wit me? Wha?

Wha? Why are you crying Sakura-chan (-ttebayo) ?

Ah! It was that potty-mouthed Sai who said something hurtful again!

Like Fugly! or Superhuman Freak! That bastard!

Sakura: ... you jerk! Don't add "Superhuman Freak" on your own!

*sound of getting pwned*

-Page 13-

Sakura: Yamato-taichou, where is Sai by the way?

Orochimaru: That story... what should I believe as fact?

-Page 14-

Kabuto: What is the meaning of this?

-Page 15

Orochimaru: Calm down... Kabuto

This boy will become our subordinate from today forward.

Kabuto: ... Can we trust him?

Sai: Please look inside that envelope...

it is from Danzou-sama to you

-Page 16-

Orochimaru: ...This is...

Kabuto: What does it say?

Orochimaru: Kabuto, release that boy

We shall take this boy with us.

-Page 17-

Orochimaru: Sai is it... well, shall we leave?

Yamato: As I suspected.

Sidebar: A dastardly betrayal of team, and village. Yamato has seen through it. What is the true mission of Sai who now accompanies Orochimaru!?

Below: Orochimaru disappears, and what of Sai's whereabouts!? Next time "Yamato's Guidelines"
