Chapter 263 Translation Credited to iwanin

263: A furious cry! (lit. be furious in a loud voice/out loud).

In the palm of his hand, a tiny mouth snaps open ... spouting forth murderous works of art. Iwagakure's genius, Deidara, with Akatsuki.

Konoha's arrival - while within the grotto...

Akatsuki's leader: Sasori and Deidara will dispose of the people outside.

Akatsuki's leader: That said, I want the jinchuuriki alive.

Akatsuki's leader: The rest of you will scatter.

Sasori: Itachi...

Sasori: The kyuubi's jinchuuriki - what does he look like? (lit. what sort of guy/bastard is he?)

Akatsuki's leader: You will tell him now.

Page 3.

Itachi: The one who'll utter a furious cry and come at you at the very outset - that'll be him. (note, grammatically, "that'll be he", but it sounds kind unnatural).

Sasori: Eh? What do you mean?

Deidara: He doesn't have a more defining feature, Ummm?

Sasori: 'tch...

Page 4.

Akatsuki's leader: I'll be waiting to hear from you.

Page 5.

Pakkun: Well, I should probably be going now. Even if I don't get in the way I won't be much use, you know.

Kakashi: Good job, Pakkun.

Gai: Yooshi! First we get rid of that barrier, right Kakashi!

Gai: How do we go about?

Kakashi: This gofuukekkai was made by putting five "kin" ([entrance] forbidden) tags into place in five points in sorrounding area.

Page 6.

Kakashi: There are four other "kin" tags in different spots besides the one you see here.

Kakashi: The barrier won't disappear until we remove them all.

Naruto: So where are they, the four other tags?

Kakashi: Neji-kun, if you will.

Neji: Yes, I know.

(guess what?) Byakugan!

Page 8.

Neji: Found them.

Neji: Directly northeast, on top of a rock around 500 meters from here.

Neji: To the southeast, 350 meters, on a tree trunk rising from a river bed.

Neji: To the northwest, stuck to a cliffside 650 meters from here.

Neji: And at the center of a small groove, around 800 meters southwest.

Page 9.

Gai: Yoshi! At that distance we can use radio frequency! (lit. wireless communication).

Gai: We'll follow Neji's instructions while keeping each other posted and find those tags!

Tenten: Wireless transmitter settings ready.

Gai: When it comes to speed my team's faster!

Gai: The frequency's 174! We'll wait for you to notify us!

Page 10.

Kakashi: We're counting on you..

Gai: Team Gai! Go forth! The full power of youth! San*!

* expression Ninjas use when they're going to split up. It means "disperse".

Naruto: Gaara...

Page 10.

Neji: A bit further to the south, Lee.

Lee: Ok! Found it!

Tenten: Found it here too!

Gai: Yoshi, everyone! Peel off the tags!

Page 11.

Kakashi: We're going in with a buttonhook* entry! (*see further down in the discussion).

Kakashi: Sakura!

Sakura: Got it!

Page 13.

Gai: Seems to have gone well enough.

Gai: Neji...

Neji: Yeah, I'm seeing it here too.

Page 14.

Tenten: What is this?

Lee: A trap set by our enemies, most likely.

Gai: I see now... Looks like it's set up so that even if the barrier's dispelled, the trap activates and impedes the intruder's progress.

Neji: So you break up the four man team and divert each. The barrier comes meticulously insured ... these guys are no ordinary foe.

Kakashi (reflections): Are we too late?

Chiyo (reflections): Sasori ...

Page 17.

Deidara: Well then! I wonder which one the jinchuuriki is... ummm!

Page 18.

Naruto: You bastards!

Naruto: I'll beat you to a pulp!

Sasori: That one ...?

Deidara: Sure looks, that way, doesn't it? ... Ummm!

Rage! A furious cry! His friend completely changed ... An irrepressible emotion spurs Naruto's into action!

Next time: A violent clash!
