Wow, that was quick. I thought you'd announce the RAW and here you have the scanlation already.
Ah, Karin. I like her well enough when she's... normal. But when she starts being a Sasuke fangirl, it's all I can do not to roll my eyes and sigh.
Well, not a lot happened in this chapter... Sasuke insists in not killing, it seems. Which is good? But, would he have killed Naruto when they met, back at one of Orochimaru's lair?
Oh, and Jiraiya came back. Yay Jiraiya! As always, I end up thinking Kabuto might be his informant... since it's a trustworthy, alive source (seems many were killed after Orochimaru's death), who else?
Well, I suppose we now know why he needs Karin so bad. Being able to find a certain elusive person could come in handy.
Corn chips are no place for a mighty warrior!

I though of posting the RAW as well, for those of you who like to translate as well. But kinda forgot it while uploading to sendspace. Original link was only rapidshare.
I liked the chapter. Seeing so many cursed warriors I keep wondering if Tayuya and Co. came from that facility, and if they were the elite (aside from Kimimaro who for obvious reasons was in the group).
Yeah but they still didnt say how she can do this. I have a feeling Sasuke is about to kick ass again
Crimey... Orochimaru must've handed out love-bites like party favors...
lol, so right. Orochimaru was such a slut.
@Ryouga - thanks for worrying! I get my raws someplace else though - I actually wanted to post the raw but you beat me to the punch, and translated alreadyFunny it's out on thursday, what with how lately it took the entire weekend...
Anyway, I never liked much the curse seal thing. It seemed kinda... cheap, I dunno. Sasuke doesn't seem to need the curse seal anymore though - his main advantage seems to be speed. When meeting Naruto, he got next to him in a blink, and last chapter it was the same. Sound-barried-breaking Ninjas!
Which makes me wonder, what good is Naruto's training going to be? The Shuriken Rasegan can't be used against Sasuke, it'd kill him. And it's no good if Sasuke can basically move out of the way faster than Naruto can form the shuriken, throw it and get out of the way.
Nice to get the whole scanlated chapter so quickly.
A little disappointed though, I guess mostly because not much happened. Too bad kishi didn't throw us a bone and at least give us one panel of sasuke and suigetsu cutting through the masses of CS people.
I like it now that the CS is more like a biological infection then a spiritual power-up. Kinda reminds me of 28 days latter, with the whole mass of rage induced ninjas.
Another good point were some of the the cool character designs in that huge group. Really liked the frill lizard guy. Too bad they were all knocked unconscious.
Hmm, from what Karin did, could she be a Hyuuga? When someone activates the Byakugan they do the same hand seal too.
Decent chapter. all those cursed seal guys overpowered in no time by sasuke and suigetsu... I cant wait to see juugo and sasuke fighting, still waiting to see what powers karin and suigetsu have.
Don't think so... the seal she used is a pretty standard one, either "tiger" or uh, "Rabbit", maybe? I don't remember the name, but at any rate, it's pretty usual. 'Sides, she doesn't have the Hyuuga eyes, so unless ehs'a a mutation or something...Originally Posted by animus
Here's my two cents on Karin...
The hint is in her name. Suigetsu, for instance, is written 水月、"Water Moon", and though we have yet to see his abilities, he was imprisioned in water and seems to tire out quickly while walking under the sun. Thus, he probably uses water-related jutsu.
Karin is written as 香燐, "Scent" and eh, "phosphorus".
(written differently, it means "quince", whch is a flower.)
I'm not sure about the phosphoric part of her name, but if Suigetsu is any hint, we can ignore the second kanji and concentrate on the first... meaning Karin's abilities are related to the sense of smell, or something related to scents.
This wouldn't be extremely original, since Kiba and his clan aleady have a strong nose (remember the fart?), but it's the only thing I can think of. Perhaps she's able to pick scents throught the walls and, when it comes to fighting, use frangances to create genjutsu or something like that.
Not only that....but CS only has a 10% survival rate.....
So take the number of CSers shown so far, and multiply that by 10x....

it was a pretty good chapter
it amazed me to see so many cursed seal prisoners
that also leads me into thinking, why didn't Oro give himself a cursed seal to make himself more powerful?
The mass of the cursed seal prisoners actually looked like a bunch of zombies or orcs from fiction films...sorta cheesy. I think the 1st level of cursed seal is actually pretty cool but the 2nd level of it makes it seem a bit unrealistic...(turning into monsters, etc.)
And out of all those only 5 weren't prisioners. The Sound Five.
He did had a female body during the fight with Sandaime didn't he? Oro did whore himself a lot....(
)
Ughhhhh, I don't even want to think about Oro any more, he was either sick, or the biggest obsessive tramp in the world(if you noticed, every CS user shown in this ch. was a guy....)
Hopefully after Sasuke gets Juugo on his team, he'll reveal his master plan and hopefully that won't be as dull as Akatsuki's plan..
R.I.P Captain America.
Man every chapter just gets better and better!!
I like that twist at the end where Juugo decides to kill a guy at the last second. I can't wait to see the fight... If it's going to be a fight at all.
Well we already have some hint as to Suigetsu abilities, and would think it centers around him being a different kind of substance. He formed himself out of a puddle of water, and increased his muscle size instantaniously to weild Zabuza's sword. Even when we saw himabout to fight the curse sealed legion, he was struggling to hold the sword upright.
My guess is that he can control the makeup of his body, muscle structure, execetera, to give himself a temporary increase in physical prowess. I would also think this serves to drain him, as he's not in a bulked up form all the time.
And does anyone else think that if he's out in the sun too long, he'll evaporate? He get dehydrated really quickly.
If Sasuke can defeat Juugo easy enough, then why would he need Juugo on his team?
It seems pretty clear that Juugo would serve no other purpose than to be a powerhouse for the group.

Funny how some think all those prisoners were given the curse seal by Orochimaru. This place is an experimentation camp so it's more likely they were experimented on with Juugo's DNA so Orochimaru could actually develop the curse seal. It seems the curse seal was only given to either ninjas fighting for him (Sound 4) or ninjas who he saw as potential containers.
If the 10% survival rate for the cursed seal truly holds true, then Oro probably didn't want to risk his current shell.
Still, I wonder at what frequency Juugo flipflops in his decision making?
