Naruto 329

It's a quick but complete trans. I'll add Jap text later if I get around to it. Also I haven't translated the gag page, I'll get around to that later. :p

As always with Naruto, this translation belongs to JapFlap. Please do not use this for scanlations. Thanks.

EDIT: Modified usingsome of GK's ideas. Thanks for your help on the English. :D

Pg 1
Side text: The stage is once again the training––– Aiming for the creation of a new jutsu that is yet to be seen, Naruto’s desperate battle continues.

Frame 4
Naruto: Hey! Everyone look out! There’s one that’s going Kyuubi!!

Frame 5
Naruto: Yamato Taichou He–lp!!


Pg 2
Frame 1
No. 329: That goal…!!
Naruto: Uoooohhh!!
Inside a pain that is unimaginable!!

Frame 2
Kakashi: Tenzou, it’s coming
Yamato: Damn!


Pg 3
Frame 1
Naruto: Guah! Ugyah!

Frame 6
Naruto: Fuuu––


Pg 4
Frame 1
Kakashi: Are you ok?

Frame 4
Kakashi: Since we entered the training to add “Wind manipulation” to the rasengan, it’s been one whole day… Using approximately 200 kagebunshin. If we sum up the hours of training as one person, it’s 4,800 hours… …Still no where near enough.

Frame 5
Naruto: But this training… The chakra control is so difficult that 200 kagebunshin is the max.

Frame 6
Naruto: …It feels like I’ll never be able to do it.


Pg 5
Frame 1
Naruto: To begin with, creating the rasengan takes a ton of concentration… And then to add “nature manipulation” on top of that is impossible…

Frame 2
Kakashi: …You’re giving up so easily. It’s not like you. Are you sure you’re the Uzumaki Naruto that I know?

Frame 4
Naruto: …But just this time, it’s impossible…
Kakashi: You still have to do it.

Frame 5
Naruto: When you’re looking right, and you’re told to look left at the same time, can you do it, Kakashi-sensei!?

Frame 7
Yamato: That is indeed impossible.


Pg 6
Frame 1
Kakashi: I see… so that’s what it is… Then it’s not impossible.

Frame 4
Kagebunshin no Jutsu!

Frame 5
Kakashi: While looking right, look left…


Pg 7
Frame 1
Kakashi: This is what you mean right?

Frame 4
Naruto: That’s it!

Frame 5
Kakashi: Did he figure something out?


Pg 8
Frame 3
AL: As soon as the sanbi is done, we’ll seal the Nibi too. This will take at least six days. Be prepared.

Frame 4
Hidan: Six days… Damn long! It's raining here, this is stupid.
Kakuzu: Hidan… You shouldn’t be one to talk.

Frame 5
Hidan: We almost were able to massacre the guys from Konoha. And show those heathens the existence of the Jashin Religion!

Frame 6
AL: The Konoha aren't heathens. They view the previous generation as God, and practice the “Will of fire.”


Pg 9
Frame 1
AL: But that could just be said it’s only a justification for battle…

Frame 2
Hidan: You bastard… Are you saying that just to make fun of me!?

Frame 3
AL: No… I have no intention of making fun of the reason you fight. I’m in the same boat as you. The reason for war doesn’t matter.

Frame 4
AL: Religion, beliefs, wealth, land, grudge, love, or just because… No matter how ridiculous the reason, it becomes a reason for war.

Frame 5
AL: The wars will never cease. The reason can come after it… The instinct demands battle.

Frame 6
Hidan: No one’s listening to you talk on and on! I have my way of doing things. I have my own goals too. I have no intention of giving everything to this group.


Pg 10
Frame 1
AL: As long as you belong to the group “Akatsuki” you will work for its goal as well. If the “Akatuki’s” goals are met, then your wish will be achieved quickly as well.

Frame 2
Hidan: Hmph… No matter how cool you act, the goal of the “Akatsuki” has just become “gathering money”!

Frame 3
Hidan: Just like Kakuzu… The type of reason to fight that I hate the most!!

Frame 4
AL: That’s right… Our immediate goals are indeed money. …But the real goal of the “Akatsuki” lies elsewhere. For that goal, we need a huge amount of money.

Frame 5
Hidan: Next to Tobi, I’m the newest member, so I’ve never heard anything from you about it! Sneaking around when I’m not there…

Frame 6
AL: Are you pouting? Fu… Fine, I’ll tell you about now.

Frame 7
AL: The “Akatsuki’s” final goal will be met by taking it step by step. There’s a total of 3 steps. The first is money.
Hidan: Shit…


Pg 11
Frame 1
AL: And the second step is using that money, create the first ever mercenary organization of the shinobi world.

Frame 2
Hidan: …Hey, hey, that’s just the same thing all the other shinobi villages are doing. It means completing missions and getting paid…

Frame 3
Hidan: You want to become the chief of a small village which won’t even be invited to belong by any country? Stupid……

Frame 4
AL: Fuh… It's nothing like that... a village that belongs to a country... I'll explain to you step by step.

Frame 5
AL: For those countries that have a strong shinobi village, the “shinobi business” holds a large part of the country’s profits. The shinobi village enters into battles, in and out of the country, and earn large amounts of money. It can be said that they support the country’s economy.


Pg 12
Frame 1
AL: That means that for the country to make a steady profit, there has to be some war.

Frame 2
AL: However, this generation, while there lots of small battles, there are no large wars of the past. The countries are trimming down the villages and many shinobi are losing their place.

Frame 3
AL: A shinobi exists to fight. The thanks they get for risking their lives for the country is this.

Frame 4
AL: The “Five Major Shinobi Countries” are still ok… The country and the village are large and trusted. There are many missions from other countries and are stable. But… the small countries are different.

Frame 5
AL: To maintain a shinobi village it cost about the same as it would during wartime and peacetime. But if they trim it village too much because of that, if sudden wars start, they can’t cope.

Pg 13
Frame 1
AL: That’s why we “Akatsuki” will create it! Never belong to any country. We’ll prepare as many shinobi as required when it’s required.

Frame 2
AL: We'll be a mercenary group that will hold all the required power from everywhere - all the small countries and villages.

Frame 3
AL: At first, we'll be accepting assignments to go into all sorts of battles all at once and for little money. That will spread the word throughout the countries. Then using the "bijuus," we'll create the wars ourselves that'll be suitable for the market!

Frame 4
AL: And in the end, we’ll control all the wars and have a monopoly!


Pg 14
Frame 2
AL: …And then from there, we’ll destroy the large countries system of “shinobi villages”… And force them to rely on “Akatsuki”…

Frame 3
AL: And then finally we come to the true goal that lies beyond that…

Frame 4
AL: The third stage of the goal…

Pg 15
AL: We’ll conquer the world…

Text: Beneath one’s eyes is everything–– The ambition to be feared is announced!!

Next issue: The author will be taking a break to gather new materials.
I thought I'd bring this to everyone attention so there's no riot next week when there's no Naruto. :p
