More build-up. Sai draws stuff.
I guess the cloaked guy in the end is the messenger :S
Thats...pretty cool.....
This chapter's worthless without a translation =/
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
LOL, the chapter is titled "Untitled", WTF is up with that? I could work a quick summary/translation. But I'm too lazy.
Edit: The scan is surprisingly clean, so I'll translate anyway.
Progress: There it is, you ugly people.
286 - Untitled
Cold winds that blow without compassion...! Change into the hot winds that blow for me!

One night of Piece?! The dawn comes...
Page 3
(Sakura): Sai?
Aaaah... so you're drawing something?
(Sai): Do you need anything?
(Sakura): For someone with such a rude mouth, you sure have artsy abilities.
That's surprisng.
(Sai): That fake smile...
Haven't you had enough of hitting me?
Page 5
(Sakura): ...not really.
Er, it's a joke!
I just came to see what you were drawing.
...I was wondering what it was.
(Sai): Ah...
(Sakura): Since you were sitting here, I thought it'd be a landscape...
But this is more like abstract art, right?
This drawing... does it have a title?
(Sai): ...who knows?
(Sakura): You haven't decided yet?
Page 6
(Sai): Oh, it's not like that.
Up 'till now, I've painted thousands, tens of thousands pictures, but I've never given a title to any of them.
(Sakura): Huuuu~h...
But it's usual to give titles to one's drawings, isn't it?
Like, if it's a portrait then you name it like the people you painted...
And other paintings, too depending on the circumstances in which you painted them, or the feelings or emotions...
Page 7
(Sai): ...to be exact, even if I were to try and name them, I wouldn't be able to.
(Sakura): ?
(Sai): ...nothing comes to my mind. I can't... feel anything.
Page 8
(Naruto): Bet you're just saying insensitive things again!
We're leaving soon! Captain Yamato sent me to call you.
(Sakura): Yeah.
(Naruto): Bah! That drawing ain't nothing special!
Page 9
(Sai): Yes, so it seems.
Just like your dick.
(Naruto): ...gh!
I'll say it clearly now! I fucking hate you!!
If you have anything to say, then stop that forced smile and say it clearly already!!
(Sai): ...
Page 10
(Sai): It's nothing like that.
I don't really think anything regarding you.
Page 11
(Sai): Please go on ahead.
I'll follow as soon as I've cleaned up.
(Sakura): I'll help you...
This... this isn't an impression, isn't it? (as in "photograph")
Did you paint this, too?
(Sai): Yes...
(Sakura): Oooh... a picture book?
(Naruto): Feh!
Page 12
(Sakura): Say... can't you show those to me while we walk?
(Sai): That's impossible.
...it's because this isn't completed yet. (Alternate: ...this isn't perfect yet.)
Also... this is not something to give to others...
This is my brother's, you see.

"....." of doom!!

(Yamato): Around here looks good.
Mokuton!
Shichuuka no Jutsu!
(Four-Pillar House, or something like that)
(Yamato): Tonight we'll sleep in the open with this!
(Sakura): ...don't call this sleeping in the open!
[OMG he can create a house with Ninpou, how awesomely stupid is that??]
Page 15
(Yamato): Please come here for a bit...
Also... Sakura, there's something I want you to listen.
(Sakura): What is it?
(Yamato): This has to do with Sasori of the Akatsuki.
I borrowed Sasori's file from Sunagakure (Hidden Sand), but...
His personality, the way he spoke, his gestures and habits... that kind of thing. If possible, I'd like you to tell me all that with as much detail as possible.
Because you are the only one who saw him in front of your eyes.
Page 16
(Naruto): What do you mean?
(Yamato): The spy from the Akatsuki who infiltrated Orochimaru's ranks believes that Sasori will go to the Tenchikyou (Note: I'm not sure about the translation, literally it'd mean "Heaven and Land Bridge").
Perhaps we'll be discovered immediately, but I think it'd be better to Henka (transform) into Sasori and try to get closer.
(Sai): Because to be a spy is to accept the accompanying risks. Our opponent will be very careful.
(Yamato): And also, if by any chance, this turned out to be a trap from the Akatsuki... it's better if I go first.
You'll wait for my instructions.
(Sakura): ...it's true that in the Sand Village there was a spy called Yuura, and... the things he said, so close to death...
I don't think it was a lie.
(Sai): Whatever we do, this spy... we can expect him to have the same level of ability.
(Naruto): I'll get him...
(Side): All set running for the mountain top! Yamato's plan unfolds...
The opponent worries not for hiding, without a doubt strong! (that like is stupid even in japanese but my translation sucks)
You, the ones who move in the darkness that wraps the crescent moon... who is this "spy"!?
No. 287 - Owari
Still at halfway, one trap after another! Next number, "In the Darkness of Treason"

GRRRRRR am starting to get frustrated here. In the immortal words of Milhouse "when are they going to get into the fireworks factory?" I'm really hoping that the spy turns out to be kabuto or something big happens here because there has been way to much build up and Kishimoto has been dropping unresolved plot threads left and right. Cough cough kakashi's mangekyou sharingan cough cough Tobi cough. I want to see more akasuki members. I want to learn something more about Zetsu. I want more of what made naruto so great to start with. I hope that this next arc becomes something interesting.
I liked this chapter a lot but then again I'm a girl, so nice, slow, bonding chapters are always welcome for me.
As long as Sai doesn't recover his emotions just to fall for Sakura it'll all be fine...

I like how the Naruto-Sai conflict is exactly the same as the Naruto-Sasuke conflict was before they became buddies, except instead of being mad cause Sakura liked Sasuke, Naruto gets mad because Sai knows he has an incredibly small and pathetic dick.
What does that have to do with you being a girl? :SOriginally posted by: Winged Dancer

I like chapters like these too.
Oh and opposed to what others seem to think, I don't think Sasuke and Sai have much in common at all - except that they are both pretty distant.
That girls do tend to have more patience for slow storylines while men usually go "GODDAMNIT KISHIMOTO HURRY IT UP!!!". Or maybe that's me being... misoginist?
And yeah, Sasuke and Sai aren't so alike... well, they have black hair and dislike Naruto or act as if they do, and they are distant, but Sasuke opted for the no speaking/glaring at people and inanimated objects approach, while Sai opts for the "commenting on the size of your penis".
It seems he kinda wants to open up... I can imagine Danzo told him not to speak of anyone of his "condition" and yet he's already explaining Sakura how he can't really feel anything and how his Precious Something (TradeMark Kishimoto 2005) is a picture that belonged to his brother.
Stupid Naruto had to interrupt, but then again its too early to explain Sai.
I'm equally curious about Yamato. I like him! He can create a house out of nothing, really! And I'd like to see whether he can pull Sasori correctly, but it seems the next episode wont reach that far.

nice suprise if the spy is Sasori. What Sakura was fighting was mearly another masterful creation by Sasori who put some of his chakra into that scroll. Maybe it's Tobi!
I don't care who I have to fight!
If he rips my arms off, I'll kick him to death!
If he rips my legs off, I'll bite him to death!
If he rips my head off, I'll stare him to death!
And if he gouges out my eyes, I'll curse him from beyond the grave!
And how is Yamato crapping out all this informaiton he isn't supposed to know?

There's plenty of justification for him to know what he knows.Originally posted by: The Heretic Azazel
And how is Yamato crapping out all this informaiton he isn't supposed to know?
For one thing, Tsunade would've debriefed him on the situation, and he already said that he obtained documentation on sasori from the sand village. Considering he's a trained anbu who is currently acting as the leader of a squad that is on a very condition-sensitive mission, i'd be surprised if he DIDN'T already obtain this information.
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
He's the kind of person that'd be getting this kind of info for Tsunade!
sasori died didnt he? I think i need to go and re-read the last 15 chapters more carefully.
Yes Sasori is dead.
Now correct me if I am wrong but wasnt a spy of Orochimaru supposed to meet with a spy of Sasori's or was it a spy of Sasori's acting as a subordinate to Orochimaru the one that was going to meet Sasori.
if is the second one then there is no way that that cloack guy is Sasuke

It's probably some random guy that will take up even more of our precious time we don't use...or it could be Kabuto.

It's the latter.Originally posted by: nests

I'm hoping for him to be Kabuto.

I'm just hoping its someone we know instead of some new moron.
I'd like it to be Sasuke because that would mean Naruto would ruin the mission.
And also because I want to see Sasuke's new style goddamnit! I wonder if he turned as queer as his brother....

a few things...
1. i forget, i was pretty sure sasori was supposed to be dead, but the spy thinks sasori is going there, so the spy doesnt know sasori's dead...right?
2. if henge could fool everybody, then everybody would be doing it, somethings gonna go wrong here
3. sai....uhhhh homo
4. WD is there any reason at all u knew the japanese word for dick?
LaZie made this...a long time ago.
