OMFG so many puppets, nobody is gonna tell me chiyo ba and sakura are gonna escape this alive without reinforcements

[Lefty]

This fight needs to end, NOW. It's getting a little repetative. Hopefully the next two chapters will be the end of this fight.

[kAi]

I thought this was going to be the end of this, but it keeps going, I dunno what the fuck is going to happen, I need a translation for this, but it seems to me that this is going to go for another 4 chapters or so.

I agree, but it is still an awsome fight. I never would have thought Sakura could fight like that.

[Terracosmo]

OMFG the fight didn't end even though it said so last week! THE SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!11111111

The only thing that redeems the fact that this fight never ends is the Sasori zoom-in shot at the bottom of page 16.
COOOOOL eyes!

[Yorma]

looks like this puppet-show is gonna continue for a while..

[Mut]

This shit sucks.

[Sidnne]

Ok. OK. Stop me if you've heard this one before...

[Winged Dancer]

Meh, this wasn't that bad until Chiyo and Sasori summoned 457874 puppets out of their asses. I mean, Sasori getting smashed to bits by Sakura was pretty cool, even if my girly side did go "Ewww, that's like, disgusting, lol!". Of course it was stupid of her to think Sasori would be stopped by a punch... it was damned obvious that he wasn't going to turn himself into a puppet without some magical ninja seal of awesomeness that kept him alive...

All in all I agree that this fight should end soon or that they should stop doing things like "I have TEN puppets!!", "Well I have 23!" and "That's nothing because I have 38!" and so forth and so on.

text translation ....ewwwhhh i took its from NF..

chapter 272

Title: Chiyo-baa versus Sasori...!

Sidebar: You whom we've not had a chance to see, being busy with someone else's mission: hurry as well!

Page 2.

Sasori lunges forth!

Chiyo-baa's fate!?

Sakura (thought): Chiyo-baa-sama...!

Page 3.

Sasori: Humph!

Page 4.

Sasori: Tch!

Chiyo (thought): Sakura!

Page 5.

Sakura: Die, you pathetic little prick of a bishounen! ( Lit. "Shannaro!", but you wouldn't believe she actually said that for real, would you? )

Page 7.

Sakura (thought): Beat him... just as the antivenom's time limit expired...

Sakura: Hahah...

Sakura: We did it... Chiyo-baa-sama, we actually did it!

Chiyo: Sakura... You...

Page 9.

Chiyo: I thought I'd never again resort to this ... but there's no way around it, is there? (Lit. I thought I'd never use this again, but it seems it won't be that way).

Page 10.

Chiyo: With this, the curtain falls!

Page 12.

Sasori: Remarkable as ever, Granny.

Sasori: It is said a puppeteer's strength is measured in the number of puppets the he or she wields...

Sakura: So many!

Sasori: Your ultimate technique: "one puppet for every finger"... Legend says...

Sasori: You once brought down an entire fortress with it...

Sasori: Shirohigi* jikkichikamatsu no shuu** (*White secret technique **The ten-puppet-strong Chikamatsu group. Chikamatsu means "pine nearby", but it's actually a last name. Ten-puppet-strong is actually just "ten+machine". Machine would be the "counter" for puppets, so I adapted it.)

Page 13.

Sasori: The first kugutsu*no jutsu puppets to ever be used : the ten masterpieces of Mosozaemon**! (*puppet **Katakana for "so" and "n" are hard for me to tell appart. Might be Mosozaemon, might be Monzaemoso, whatever - I wouldn't know)

Sasori: Far from any mere group of puppets... unfortunately for you...

Page 14.

Sasori: It was an entire country that fell to me with these.

Page 16.

Chiyo (thoughts): This guy... he's this strong...

Sasori: I'm still beside myself...

Sasori: To think that a little girl and an old woman with a foot in the grave could push me this far... That I'de be made to reveal my final hand...

Page 17.

Sasori: Now, let me show you...

Sasori: Akahigi, Hyakki no souen ... (Red secret technique: performance of one hundred-puppets...)

Chiyo: Sakura...

Page 18.

Chiyo: You're already out of antivenom ... don't get involved.

Sakura: You should know me by now!

Sakura: My character, that is!

Page 19.

Chiyo: Yeah, that's right...

Chiyo: You picked it up from Tsunade, right? ...

Chiyo: But you know... this is the closing act ... are you ready for whatever it comes to?

Sakura: Yes!

Sidebar: Ten puppets versus one hundred... and two on one! Chiyo and Sakura, who've come to appreciate each other's worth in combat, plunge into the final, violent clash!

Trailing: (Chiyo and Sakura's) fight comes to a grand conclusion!

Nest issue: The one whom she* must protect! *inference of mine

[Uberbaka]

oh christ on a bike.. How long will this one last in anime form? *sigh*

Too many puppets already.. they could have easily skipped one step of "pulling puppets out of your ass" and nobody would have noticed... I thought the manga was supposed to use the filler time in the anime to actually progress. Heh..

Also, The rock lee/gai/neji fights are being put off way too long now.. Maybe Kishimoto realized this and just hopes we'll forget.

[Jman]

Fuck this chapter.

[Phoenix20578]

This fight alone? Maybe 3 months,

[basey44]

well i have totally lost interest in naruto now, the anime is shit, the manga is becoming boring. i mean how long can u stretch out a fight. i remember back when the fights started and finished quick, like 1 episode quick

The katakana character is "n". You can tell by the difference of "so" and "n" by the second stroke. "n" goes upwards while "so" goes downwards.

As for the chapter I agree it's taking too long and that final move sucks. But I don't think it's enough to condemn the manga as yet and we still got the naruto and neji fight to look foward to.

[nests]

I dont know Im kind of glad that this fight is long I mean this guys are supposed to be the best out there so to have them beating fast just woulndnt make it belivable. the only one that could make sence dying fast wuold be Deidara since he already had an intense figth with Gaara and is injured.
Im also glad they showed all those puppets since they did mention that Sasori had like 300 of them

[Honoko]

i think the sentiment here was that it would've been a short fight since sasori should've kicked both their asses in a heartbeat. on paper, there's no way sasori would've been involved in a prolonged fight and it's irritating a lot of people here, i think.

[drcitan]

Oh God I jus throw up....Thats it I'm takin a break from the manga. I'll see you all at the next budaki tournment.

[kAi]

Sasori has to use a technique that took down a country to take out 2 people, a little girl and an old lady with a foot in the grave.
