Downloads of official translation?

[Joebama]

Where can I find manga downloads of the original translation? Every version I have seen is the Japanese version with translations pasted on by the compilers - the translations are sloppy and the sound effects remain unchanged. I recently looked at the official Shonen Jump publication of it, and not only is the translation better, but the onomatopoeia (sound effects) are in english as well.

Can I download scans or whatever of this version anywhere? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

You could just buy it, and actually contribute to Naruto

But he'd have to wait a while for that

You want me to buy what - 50 books? Holy h*ll no. Enough people are buying it already.
Plus, the forum you are on currently has downloads of both the anime and the manga, just not the version I want... so if you don't want to contribute to piracy then get your rear end out of here.
Next time you're about to make a useless, unhelpful post that only goes to show your insolence and hypocrisy, don't, or at least make sure it isn't a reply to one of my posts.

So, does anyone actually have anything helpful to suggest?

As i said, if you want the official things, that people actually go to work to make, buy it. You got free versions made by fans on their free time so you could enjoy, no need to bash it. And if everyone's attitude was the same as yours : oh i dont have to buy it, everyone else can, there would be no Naruto for you to enjoy, so stop complaining.

If you go to the Viz site you can download (for a price) the chapters or volumes, but nothing free unless someone scanned their bought version and that could lead to problems.
