Confirmation that indeed on page 66, Kakashi seems to debut a new jutsu! He uses it twice in succession around page 100 too. (Or at least, Kakashi is showing us something old that is not in the manga or anime)
「雷遁・紫電」
Raiton: Shiden
「カカシ手から薄紫の電光がほとばしる。」
“From Kakashi’s hand, a light purple lightening surges forth/gushes out.”
OD will have to read more to know about it~~ Also, Gai-sensei seems to be doing okay:
ガイの本体は、すでに後ろ回し蹴りをくりだしていた。「木ノ葉旋風！」
“Guy’s real body had already rotated behind to unleash a kick. “Konoha Senpuu! (/Whirlwind)”
Here its unclear if he is wheel chair bound or not


The Ramen Guy's teaser thing for Konoha Hiden:
一子相伝の味!? 一楽参戦!?
The taste/flavour of "Isshisouden"!? Ichiraku participation in war!?
Isshisouden= the act of passing down a trade of skill/craft (often from parent to child). Like secret recipes and such.
Teaser we got beforehand was just:
[原作のその後] の木ノ葉忍 集結!!
"Depicting beyond the original work" of Konoha's Shinobi. Gathering troops!!




Sasuke has an extra word in ch. 699 now:
[Original WSJ Ch.699:]
「お前は来ないと思ったが。。。」
“I thought that you weren’t coming…”
[Tankobon Edition Ch.699:]
「お前は見送りには来ないと思ったが。。。」
“I thought that you weren’t coming to send me off…”


Added word being:
見送りに== seeing someone off/give farewell to someone (like when you would bid goodbye at an airport, escorting someone to the gate, etc). I think you get what I mean…like a “send-off” thing.
It’s a minor change. But I think it helps with a little ambiguity in that Sasuke didn’t suddenly leave Konoha again, but that it was premeditated and gave Naruto and them more of some sort of notice.
Aside from that, text bubbles just get moved around double spread pages, they convert more kana into kanji, and removed splash text~~

Sustained by the strong wind in the skies, 500 metres above the ground, Sai turned around.
"Ahh.” said Naruto. He glared at the enemy territory that was distantly below him,.
“ There won’t be a problem ‘ttebayo”
”However, your arm is still…”
”For guys like them, one arm is enough ‘ttebayo”
Producing a large bird using Choujyuu Giga, under the covers of the dead of night, they could not be seen from the ground.
However, from Naruto’s viewpoint, he saw the ground perfectly.
Even though it was already midnight, (they could see) the targets lurking in the valley of the rough mountains, with the smoke from the torches of the night watchmen still burning.
All around, there were shinobi look-outs who walked about. The steep rock cliffs had lines of it’s mountainridge similar to a pin-holder. Feeling the chill of the moonlight, they seemed to be getting wet with the dampness.
“Certainly, a strategic stronghold of natural defenses…” Sai spoke what was on Naruto’s mind for him.
“For Garyo to be moving around repeatedly in such a scene, eh?”
“Because of that, people of the Wave Country were murdered.”
Naruto tightly gritted his back teeth.

Page 5-6

Spoiler

One year after the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi World War, it was a September evening with strong winds.
While howling slightly, the wind kept blowing through the valley. Temporarily sneaking out of their spot, Sai and Naruto were riding on the large bird. While flying around in large circles, they still perceived that Garyo’s hideout was directly below them.
”It’s not something to think about too deeply, Naruto. Regarding the Fourth Great Shinobi World War, it doesn’t mean that the war was the last one for all of mankind.”
“However, it’s unfortunate that people who sympathized with Madara’s ideology will appear in the future from here onwards.”
Before Sai spoke that, Naruto jumped off the back of the large bird.
“Garyo is the same as them, right?”
Booooooom!
While hearing the tearing sound of cutting through the air, Naruto descended from the night sky. He made a cross with his left hand’s index finger and middle finger by entwining (them). Because of the battle with Sasuke, he lost his right arm. It was a newly learned method of (making) seals.
”Tajyuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!”
Poof! When the guards noticed (that Naruto was) surging from his own smoke, it was already too late as the kage-bunshin were surrounding Garyo’s hideout.
“It’s an enemy attack!”

Page 7-8

Spoiler

Angry voices arose from everywhere.
“Protect Garyo-sama!”
Because the cabin was expressively built to cling near the steep cliff, and since there were several caves, enemy shinobi rushed out from them.
The kage-bunshin hurled out kunai, and several people collapsed at once. Naruto was decapitated by an enemy that was behind him. With a poof, smoke burst forth and (the kage-bunshin) vanished.
From the open centre space of the hideout, suddenly angry bellows flew about as it changed into a battlefield. Naruto scanned his eyes left and right. Beforehand, he had been informed by Kakashi to search for a cave.
(It was where there were) sharp rocks that resembled two fangs that were dangling from the ceiling in a cave. In that cave, which was inaccessible because of the numerous mountains, was the only way where one could enter and leave Garyo’s hideout. That was what Kakashi had informed (Naruto about).
“If that’s the case…if he intends to escape, he has no choice but to escape from that cave ‘ttebayo!”
The cave was where the kage-bunshin and enemies had earlier been battling to the death.
Inside that cave was like the mouth of a beast baring all of it’s fangs. Shinobi were protecting it. There was a small men trying to rush out, the hem of his clothing dragging along…
“ Garyoooooo!”
Naruto’s voice echoed in the rocks.
“You *******, I definitely won’t let you escape!”

Page 9-10

Spoiler

Before that echo vanished, a single enemy shinobi stood in the way ahead of Naruto. A shinobi who was clad in snow-white attire appeared. Attached to his face was a white mask with a hook pattern on it.
“Don’t get in my way ‘ttebayo!”
Naruto instantly hurled a kunai (at him).
However, as soon as the tip of (his) sword came into contact with it, the masked shinobi vanished like a quivering mist. Besides, when Naruto noticed, his back had been exposed.
“Hyouton: Jisarenhyou!“ // Ice Release: Earthen Consecutive Chains of Ice!
The back of his body numbed, ton (/tap sound), and he was just struck (with the attack).
Because of that, he fell down a bit, but not to the degree of collapsing.
Naruto braced himself with his feet. He turned around, and brandished a kunai while facing the masked man…No, he was trying to do so. But he was unable to.
“Wha—what? ‘ttebayo…”
There was a feeling as though he was getting scratched on the inside of his body. At the next moment, it changed into a sharp pain.
Biki, biki…bikibikibikibiki! (sound of fleshy bits freezing)
A countless number of icy splinters began to completely grow out of his blood vessels. The inside of his body seemed to be shredding into pieces.

Page 11-12

Spoiler

Uhhhhhh…”
Naruto moaned as he kneeled. A white breath came from his mouth.
Although the night air of the mountain was frigid, it was still September. However, Naruto’s teeth were chattering. The intense cold that struck him made him tremble.
Since he was struck from behind by the masked shinobi, the freezing cold was spreading quickly through his entire body. The frost continued to cover his body, including around his arm and leg; it was creeping just up to his face.
Bikibikibiki(sound of fleshy bits freezing)
Somehow as he was trying to mobilize his body, (Naruto only managed) to loosen several sheets of thin ice shards, and they crunched as they and fell off of him. Bound by the ice, as if completely chained, Naruto was rendered immobile.
The masked shinobi did not notice the continuously freezing Naruto and returned towards Garyo’s side.
“Garyo-sama, come this way”
However, Garyo did not try to move. On the contrary, the three people who were protecting Garyo collapsed with a rattling sound.
The enemy seemed to be scrutinizing (something) with his eyes, which were under the mask with the hook pattern.

From the darkness from behind Garyo, there was a hand that directly appeared, which was tightly grasping a kunai.

Page 13-14

Spoiler

“Come to think of it, I vaguely recall that Haku wore such a mask”. Naruto thrusted a kunai at the nape of the neck of the target.
“ Something like this ice technique… You *******, you’re a nukenin (/rogue missing-nin) from Kirigakure (The Hidden Mist), right? ”
As I expected, that wasn’t the real body…”said the masked shinobi, as he glanced over his shoulder at the body of Naruto that he had killed just a moment ago.
“ But considering that (you’re) -that- Uzumaki Naruto, who defeated Uchiha Madara, I thought that you (wouldn’t) have a reaction at all (to my attack).
Poof! Naruto’s kage-bunshin that was imprisoned in the ice then burst open and vanished. Then, the ice (that had been binding the kage-bunshin) smashed all at once and made a chilly sound.
Naruto and the enemy exchanged glances.
“ Return Garyo-sama (back to us)”
“ That’s out of the question‘ttebayo”Naruto glared at the masked shinobi.
“Because of you guys, hundreds of people from the Wave Country have died.”
“ It was for the sake of (our) ideals”
“Madara’s ideals? (Those ideas) are still from that war…”
“ It was Uchiha Madara’s failure.” Garyo interrupted Naruto.
“He plunged the whole world at once into the Infinite Tsukuyomi”
Naruto looked down upon the dark little man and thrusted a kunai at him. His whole body was clad in the firm and loyal ambitious drive. Naruto pushed a kunai against the nape of (the enemy’s) neck. It seemed that he was acting as though it was nothing.

Pg 15-16

Spoiler

His long white hair was tied up into a bundle. He grew out a white beard. On only one side of his almond-shaped eyes, the white looked muddy.
“However, the intentions themselves of Madara were not mistaken”
As the hem of his clothing was being tormented by the wind, Garyo continued.
“Getting rid of conflict in the world. For the sake of implementing ultimate justice, (Madara) had no choice but (to employ) Infinite Tsukuyomi. Of course, Madara died. So did the (plan to use) Infinite Tsukuyomi. Because of Uchiha Sasuke, (the plan) was eternally consigned to oblivion. However, while that might true, that ideal (itself) still has not died. Although there’s other means of doing so, step by step, we should be able to approach Madara’s ideals . I really believe (that’s the case).
“What kind of thing do you intend to do –ttebayo?”
” What is ultimate justice? That would be the equality of all of the people”
The unhappiness of this world is caused entirely by inequality. And so, to implement equality, what should be done (in order to achieve that)? That (would be) controlling individual freedom. The freedom to make money, the freedom to have ownership of many things (more) than others, or the freedom of another person to be at ease (moreso than another person)… We fight in order to control such freedom. If our experiment turns out well, soon, other countries will also reach the point of approval (of our means). To reach the point where all of the freedom of this world will be controlled (by us). This is surely the true meaning of Uchiha Madara’s ideals. And thus, it will become a new world order.”
“And because of that, you guys chose the Wave Country as a site (for your) experiments?”Naruto’s voice escaped as he grinded down on his molars.
In this country, they don’t have a hidden village and such like that. (You guys) even killing (these people) who don’t know about fighting…”

Page 17-18

Spoiler

From the beginning, there was peace in this country. It seems that you ******s were bringing in hatred and sorrow.”
“As long as there is inequality in this world, there will not be a country that is without hatred nor sorrow”
Wind blew towards inside of the cave. For Naruto, his right sleeve fluttered, as it had no arm inside.
“In this country, there isn’t a hidden village. That’s why many nukenins gather (to depend on living here). These nukenins who are coming along to the Wave Country, especially murder eachother when they get disgusted (with one another). Shinobi are concealed, while normal human beings live and try to grow old. Their requests were modest: having humane living circumstances. However, to (those shinobi) from their childhood, they had training in murdering each other, but didn’t continue (to do so),
“ So what can they do? For the people of the Wave Country, they despise (shinobi). They think that they can buy their dignity with money. When it’s necessary to have military power, they take out their money, and think they should employ people like you. Without contaminating one’s own hands. Thinking that everything can be settled with money. Money! Money! Money! People who don’t have money even don’t get humane treatment/services. For you, even the comrades that you are battling now also (understand this).”
Naruto turned his eyes towards the masked shinobi.
” My son was stung by a hornet, and was transported to a hospital. There wasn’t a doctor there. Neither at the next hospital. And even at the next one. Nowhere had one. At last, when we found a suspicious shaman, who couldn’t claim to be a doctor, my son had symptoms of shock and was on the verge of death.

Page 19-20

Spoiler

“Of course, the incantation and so forth, how useless it was (to him). If he had immediate medical treatment, possibly, he might have survived. However all the physicians had disappeared from the Wave Country. Why (do you) think that is?”
Garyo’s words cut off. Painfully, he rung out words.
“Because in the Fourth Great Shinobi World War, in order for the medical treatment of the injured shinobi, the Five Great Countries purchased (/hired) them all”

”If there’s peace in the Wave Country, (it’s because they are) trampling down on the poor/needy people. It’s peace that is built on top of a roll of banknotes.”Garyo said. “And yet, you seriously can say that there is no hatred and sorrow in this country, eh?”
Naruto shut his mouth instead of his using his voice. It was the masked shinobi: He dropped at the waist, and struck at the ground with the palm of his hand.
“Hyouton: Jisarenhyou!” // Ice Release: Earthen Consecutive Chains of Ice!

The resounding shockwave travelled to his abdomen. The ground cleaved from below. A countless number of icicles sprouted forth. The icicles pierced the ceiling of the cave. (The spot) where Naruto and Garyo were standing was warily protected. They were extending into the interior of the cave. Suddenly the escape route was blocked.
“For my Jisarenhyou, if it even has a little bit of moisture, anything could be frozen.” The voice beyond the mask lowered, and cracked. “With this, you have nowhere to go anymore… Return Garyo-sama (back to us).”

Pg 21-22

Spoiler

Enemy shinobi were gradually assembling.
“Regarding your son, I’m sorry (for what happened to him).

” However, I don’t agree with what you guys are doing ‘ttebayo”, Naruto said. “Because of trying to relinquish freedom and killing people, (do you think) the remaining people will be happy? With such a thing, a new hatred will only be born ‘ttebayo.”
“There isn’t reform that is without pain involved,”the enemy said from beneath the mask. “That is in order to implement a new order. It’s the product of suffering. ”
”Besides, in addition, (why should you guys) ought to do that method ‘ttebayo”
” I don’t intend to argue (about that) with you here”

”If you don’t come (to me), from here, I’ll make you go this way”
“It’s difficult, (but) I don’t intend to fight with you” Without talking, Naruto carried Garyo with one arm. Kicking the ground, he jumped upwards.
“Escaping!?” Delayed by a beat, the masked shinobi also flew in the air. While airborne, (the enemy) quickly made seals.
“Hyouken no Jutsu!” (Ice Sword no Jutsu!)
A sound like that of glass breaking resounded among the mountains. The moisture in the atmosphere condensed. A countless number of ice daggers assailed at Naruto. The point of the ice swords reflected the moonlight. Glistening and shining. However, Naruto was broadly grinning and sneering.

Pg 23-24

Spoiler

On the verge of getting pierced by a sword of ice, suddenly, a black whirlwind snatched Naruto and Garyo.
The voice of the bird called, and it echoed through the valley.
The masked shinobi landed, with his pale eyes that were fired up, looking up at the black bird that had kidnapped Garyo.
“Nice timing dattebayo!”
”It turned out well, right?”
Then on the back of the large bird, Naruto and Sai high-fived.
(Line Break) (Scene Change)
” Since then, it’s been more than six years… As for me ‘tteba, I was still 12 years old! We were Team Seven on a new mission ‘dattebayo. Kakashi-sensei, and Sakura-chan, and that guy Sasuke were also there…
“ It’s only been six years”
Inari corrected Naruto’s words. Inari should be 14 years old, but he seemed to even be further matured. At his waist, a hammer and saw was kept hanging in a leather tool bag.
” But Naruto-niichan, did you notice? Even Naruto nii-chan…
“Are you talking about this right arm?”

Pg25-26

Spoiler

Inari averted his eyes. As for Naruto’s right arm, during his battle with Sasuke, he had lost (the part) from the end of the upper arm.
“About that, it doesn’t matter ‘ttebayo!” Naruto opened his mouth wide and (let out) a hearty laugh. “Because from something like an arm, I obtained something even more important.”
“…Is it always going to be like that?
“Now, Tsunade-baachan is making a prosthetic arm for me ‘ttebayo”. So don’t worry, Inari”
”I see…”
“Aside from that, what’s happened in the Wave Country?”
“Back then, around the time when I met Naruto-niichan, it was me and my grandfather just (making it) possible for the great bridge. It thought everyone could be happy.”Inari (let out a) lonely laugh.
”However, thanks to you, with the Great Naruto Bridge, traffic increased. As rich men whose commerce went well came to increase, so did everyone’s concern for only money. Similar to Gato, they’re guys who would do anything for money. Now then, they’re not unusual at all”
”Before that, I’m sure I met with you briefly…”
“When Pain destroyed the village of Konohagakure, when we came to carry out repairs.”
” At the time, we didn’t have spare time to talk at ease…Ah, that’s right, now the Wave Country became like this”

Pg 27-28

Spoiler

During the silence, Naruto stood up in order to get closer to overlook Momochi Zabuza and Haku’s grave markers. From trees, they had only constructed crude gravesites. Definitely, six years of time had passed. At the time, near Zabuza’s gravesite, Kakashi had thrusted the Kubikiribouchou. Sasuke’s comrade, Suigetsu, had taken it away.
A breeze blew through the grassland, and the wild cosmos flowers swayed.
Naruto, for one thing, surely had grown.
“Speaking of which, how is Tazuna-otchan doing? Is he healthy?
Since Inari hesitated a little, he daringly spoke his mind.
”With the end of the finishing touches on Tobishachimaru, he’s always staying overnight at the harbor of the shipyard.”
“He’s building a new ship?”
” A ship is a ship, but it’s one that flies in the sky, however. ”
“To?”
” For the Wave Country, he’s trying to build a new transportation system. If Tobishachimaru is completed, the Wave Country can jump to the top of the world of transportation. Until now, for ships and people, it took many days to transport shipments, using air lanes, it would be possible to deliver in a short time.
As for Inari’s tone of voice, though telling the state of a good story, it was the opposite. In some respects, it had subsided, like the feeling of his self-restraint.
”However, truly, it’s a secret, but to Naruto-niichan, I think I can talk about it. If one unit is completed, ”

Pg 29-30

Spoiler

“the higher-ups of the Wave Country will be invited, because it’ll be the debut of the sight-seeing flight. We’ll have everyone see the amazing Tobishachimaru. We’ll collect more money. But if we collect money, we’ll steadily build another ship, and intend to gain a wide market in the Five Great Countries. Even though it’s still a secret, when Grandfather (and his crew) are on the sight-seeing flight, to Konohagakure Village, I’d say that they will request (Konoha) for defending (it).”
“However, for some shinobi, there are also guys who can fly in the skies. Can there be such a ship that flies in the sky?”
“Because for the Five Great Countries, while they spent all of their time in the war, the Wave Country continued to develop new technology.”
”Is it enormous?”
“As Grandfather (and his crew) are producing it now, I think that it seats about 50, 60 passengers. If only we had money, we can build an even bigger one”
“But, how can that kind of ship actually fly ‘ttebayo?”
“Think about it as if it was a huge balloon”Inari said. “Filled with lighter gas than the atmosphere, and underneath the balloon, people and luggage can be loaded in an iron basket…but (similar to) a gondola, closely keeping that sort of feeling. Regarding the stern, there are six propellers. With that beforehand, it can go forward. ”
Popping into Naruto’s mind, it was an image of a bamboo basket with many small balloons (attached to it). Still well-suspended in midair, suddenly out of nowhere, a large flock of crows repeatedly pecked at the balloons. Pan-pan~~ Popping them.

Pg 31-32

Spoiler

Immediately afterwards, the people who had boarded the bamboo basket plunged headfirst into the abyss, continuing to fall.
“I definitely don’t want to ride on such a thing ‘ttebayo.” (he said as) he shuddered and trembled. “ As for inviting the higher-ups, is it really safe?”
“Since already, there have been many aviation experiments”
” So? Because you can’t stomach (those results), Inari?”
”…eh?”
“It’s written on (your) face ‘ttebayo” Naruto shrugged his shoulders, that“It’s true, we don’t need this kind of flying ship”
” …Yeah” Inari downcast his eyes. “If the Tobishachimaru is completed, certainly in the Wave Country, it will (generate) a lot of money.
“Are you unable to stomach that?”
“That’s fine”

“However, for the people whose employment would be taken away by Tobishachimaru, I think a lot of them would leave (if it’s completed).” Inari raised his face, and stared straight at Naruto. “From the beginning, us from the Wave country earned income by transportation of shipments. The people who carried the shipments on their shoulders, and then there’s the people who transport (shipments) by ship. They will then probably have all the work. And then, what will happen? Everyone will come to hate the Tobishashimaru. Us carpenters who created such a thing, they’ll come to hate (us too).”

Pg 33-34

Spoiler

Money! Money! Money! “Garyo’s voice resounded in Naruto’s ear. “If there’s peace in the Wave Country, (it’s because they are) trampling down on the poor/needy people. It’s peace that is built on top of a roll of banknotes…”
“Anyway, thank you for arresting Garyo.”Seeing Naruto’s serious expression, Inari changed the subject. “Those guys, from the beginning, they had opposed the construction of the Tobishachimaru. They often assaulted carpenters, murdering everyone…Garyo is going to be sent to Houzukijyou, right?”
“Ahh… something like that, I guess”
As for the Houzukijyou, The Five Great Countries jointy contribute to it’s expenses. Constructed in Kusagakure (Grass) Village, it’s an institution that accommodates prisoners. Surely, the Five Great Countries jointly manage it.
For Naruto, several years beforehand on a certain mission, it was the infiltration of Houzukijyou. From the outcome of the events at the time, the completely destroyed Houzukijyou was then repaired. (That’s how) Inari (and his crew) of carpenters of the Wave Country knew about it.
“Which reminds me, Naruto-niichan, you were once thrown into Houzukijyou, right? But at any rate, you probably peeked in the women’s bath.”
“But because that was a mission after all!”
Suddenly seeing that Naruto’s eyes peeled wide open, Inari laughed. Naruto was tempted to (laugh with him too).
“Well, things in the world steadily continue to change ‘ttebayo”he said as he laughed (in between) words. “With money together with kunai and ninjutsu, depending on the way one uses them, I guess it’s not for the better or for worse.”
Inari nodded.
“If there’s a way for you to use honest(/the right) money, then surely there will also be a lot of guys who are saved ‘ttebayo”Naruto said. “However, as for (the proper way to do so), I don’t know. I guess that (would be) resisting guys who are like Garyo, that wouldn't be the best and excellent method (to them), right?”

Chapter 1-Hesitation

Spoiler

Page1-2

Spoiler

As always, Naruto held a porcelain bowl of ramen, suddenly popping his (head) out of Ichiraku.
“Kakashi-sensei! Kakashi-sensei!”
On the other hand, from Kakashi’s perspective, Kakashi did not feel like seeing Naruto. At least, not for now.
And so, he began leafing through his favourite book. ..”[Icha-Icha Tactics] Besides, in the third chapter, the book had the part with the most “Icha-Icha”in the series, [“Shut up and come along with me”]…
Kakashi was pretending to be immersed in his reading, trying to (ignore Naruto’s comments) and let them go past him.
“Kakashi-sensei ‘tebayo!”
And yet despite that, for a guy like Naruto, he wasn’t the kind of person who understood the sentiments of another person, no matter what.
“What’s wrong? I kept calling out to you from a while ago…You’re still not old enough to be going deaf, right?”
“Mm? Ahh, Naruto?”
In Kakashi’s mind, he sighed.
“No, I’m sorry, sorry…I was in a daze from the book, so I didn’t notice…Oh! How is your prosthetic arm doing?”
“Well, something about it still doesn’t feel right, but…”

Page 3-4

Spoiler

As Naruto was talking, he awkwardly opened and closed the chopsticks that he was holding in his right hand.
“Well, I wasn’t asking for too much –tebayo”
“Ah, I see.”
Besides that, Kakashi-sensei, you still haven’t had the inauguration ceremony?”
“Eh?” Kakashi stepped closer.
“Well, as for me, I’m poor at that sort of thing”
Nowadays Kakashi was asked that question wherever he went, and he would shrink back a little bit.
Certainly, (Kakashi) had made up his mind that he would become Hokage.
However, as for himself, Kakashi thought that he wasn’t at the expected ability to be Hokage. After the inauguration ceremony was completed, he could not back out of it anymore. Now that the Fourth Great Ninja World War had ended, there was no need to hurriedly become the next Hokage, right? Kakashi kept thinking about it in that manner.
“But what about the Hokage Monument, it’s already completed” (/with Kakashi’s face). Using his new right hand clumsily, Naruto (noisily) slurped the ramen.
“But everyone else is paying attention to it too…Firstly, who is the Hokage? It’s not clear (whether it’s you or Tsunade). You’re setting a bad example to the other villages –tebayo. That’s the point of the inauguration, right?”

PAGE 5-6

Spoiler

“Because Tsunade-sama is still in good health. And as for me…”
“As for Tsunade-baachan (/granny), she’s already unsuitable –tebayo.”
Naruto bluntly stated such an outrageous and unthinkable thing.
Because of the recent war, Tsunade was on the verge of death. How should I put it, I mean there’s some kinds of work that she isn’t putting forth her best effort (/is enthused) into doing”.
“…Is that so?”
“I think if she’s aimlessly gone during the day, she drinks sake, probably…at the gambling places trying to start quarrels. This war for her at an old age, didn’t (you) realize it?”
Naruto roared with laughter.
“ Hey, why did you have to say that so enthusiastically?”It was no laughing matter to Kakashi. After saying that, from behind Naruto, there was a sense of an extraordinary black thirst for blood.
"Well… Tsunade-baachan is also already somewhat of a good age, but it’s understandable that she’s gradually going towards a old age for retirement soon, to enjoy herself”
“Eh…Err, is that so?”
The thirst for blood continued to increase on a grand scale. Kakashi became flustered.
“Tsu…Tsunade-sama, I think she’s still young. Yeah. I really think so!”

Page 7-8

Spoiler

To what extent? Although from far away, you don’t know or care about it, but if you look up close, her face is covered in fine wrinkles”
“Whaa!”
(Kakashi’s thoughts) Just please keep your mouth shut about it!
“Well, speaking of which, with an excessively loud voice…” Naruto did not even need to talk about it. The thirst for blood continued to grow even worse.
“Why are you so flustered, Kakashi-sensei?”
Two glaring eyes were shining from behind Naruto. Only Naruto did not notice them.
“ Well, I can’t talk with a loud voice then. Lately, she’s been hot-tempered (/irritable)… Her forgetfulness is horrible too.”
Kakashi’s thoughts) This guy is dead.
As Kakashi closed his eyes, he didn’t watch when Tsunade’s fist sunk into Naruto’s head. However, Bam! The sound was no joke, whether or not he wanted to, Kakashi heard it.
“Who has horrible forgetfulness!”
Tsunade’s angry bellow echoed.
”As for being irritable, it’s probably because you provoked me!”
As Kakashi was opening his eyes,he saw that Naruto now had a huge lump on his head. He had fallen down on the ground.
“Kakashi!”

Page 9-10

Spoiler

“Y..Yes!”
As Tsunade glared after startling both of them, Kakashi’s voice cracked.
“I..I think Tsunade-sama is still suitably young enough…”
“You still haven’t decided on a fixed date for your inauguration ceremony? “
(Silence)
“ That hesitation, I understand it as well”Tsunade’s facial expression softened.
“Because I felt that way too”
「はい……」 “Yes…”
“In becoming the Hokage, you can’t live as you wish, like as the way things were before. “
Tsunade nodded her chin at Naruto, pointing out that he had fallen on the ground.
“Also sooner or later for this idiot, (Naruto) won’t be able mess around and just enjoy himself.”
Kakashi silently listened as Tsunade was speaking.
“The Rokudaime Hokage is no one else, but only you.” Tsunade said.
“Naruto certainly became strong, but as you can see, he’s still not yet at the caliber of a Hokage. Besides, also at the Gokage Conference, wasn’t the decision already solidified for you to become the Hokage?”
“Because at that time, I still had the Sharingan”
(Silence)
“Since I lost the Sharingan, I also lost the usage of Raikiri…”

Page 11-12

Spoiler

For Raikiri, it’s because I had kinetic vision of the Sharingan. That’s why I could complete the jutsu. If I become the Hokage as I am now, I wonder how could I protect Konoha? That’s what I thought about.”
“Kakashi”
“I’m sorry, Tsunade-sama…about this discussion. Please wait until this current mission has ended.”
(Kakashi’s thoughts) “You will be the Rokudaime Hokage, Kakashi…” He recalled from Obito’s voice. After that, Kakashi was given the Sharingan as a present.
What am I hesitating for? In his head, Kakashi clicked his tongue.
As for the Sharingan, from the beginning, it was lent to me for a limited time, wasn’t it?...Ahh, As for me, probably, I was overly dependent upon the Sharingan.
“He was a guard of Tobishachimaru right?” Tsunade changed the subject.
“Are there enough people?”
“ Probably at the last minute, and just barely enough personnel. This year, since they’re on duty within Houzukijyou, Team Guy and Shikamaru’s Team 10 have been all over there. “
“Houzukijyou…but they should quickly decide on a new lord for the castle.”
“As for a master like Mui, they probably won’t discover someone like him too often for the role”

Page 13-14/end of excerpt

Spoiler

Several years beforehand, by Konohagakure and Kumogakure (Cloud)’s joint strategies, Houzukijyou was annihilated. Before the castle was restored, and the prisoners were controlled using the so-called Tenrou no Hijutsu (/Sky Prison secret jutsu) by the lord of the castle, Mui. In the midst of employing that strategy, he lost his life. Since then, Konoha, Suna (Sand), Kumo (Cloud), Iwa (Rock) and Kiri (Mist), have taken turns to send out prison guards.
“For Naruto, since it is necessary that he protects the village, this time Jounin colleagues will accompany me (on the mission). Well, (as we’re) only the ceremonial guards, there should not be any problems. Even if the ship flies, it’s still our duty.”
“Which reminds me, didn’t Guy say that he wanted to do this mission?…With that sort of leg, he shouldn’t say such things.”
“As usual for Guy, he only wants to see a flying ship”said Kakashi.
“If it’s Guy, he might just depart for Nami no Kuni (Wave Country) in his wheelchair.”
“A flying ship…it’s an extraordinary story, isn’t it? As for now, it seems that the existence of Tobishachimaru is a secret to foreign countries, however…”
“Ehh, it will be widely known immediately. If (the information about it leaks), it will be unanimously requested by every village of each nation. They will all try to steal the technology of Tobishachimaru from Nami no Kuni (Wave Country).
Briefly, in Kakashi’s mind, he gathered his thoughts together. Concerning the permits of the heavens and how fellow shinobi deceive one another, joint murders will probably begin (over the rights to the sky).

Chapter 2 Moment of the Century


Pages 1 and 2 are title pages.

Pages 3-4

Spoiler

Even though it was supposed to be a secret event, they held a grand ceremony for the sight-seeing flight on the beach. They break open a kusudama, release white doves, have a parade, throw confetti, and congratulatory speeches are given. Everyone is dressed up in honour of the moment of the century. The Tobishachimaru is 223 metres long, 34 metres in diameter, and has a maximum speed of 70 km/hr (about 44mi/hr). It has six sets of propellers, a streamlined gondola, and guest quarters. The name of the Tobishachimaru is from the huge orca (shachi) with pectoral and dorsal fins carefully drawn on the balloon portion. It’s perfect weather. Tazuna tears up at the sight of seeing his own work come to fruition. Kakashi congratulates Tazuna.

Pages 5-6

Spoiler

Tazuna says that the balloon is filled with helium for buoyancy, which is lighter than air and flame-resistant. The sight-seeing flight is going to be 2.5 hours, only up to 5,000 metres in altitude, where other countries can’t see it along it’s flight course. The fuselage/airframe colour is to assimilate to the light blue of the sky. This info is only known to Konoha. Even though Garyo has been sent to Hyouzukijyou, the remnants of his group are still everywhere. That’s why Konoha’s skills are employed for the mission and will be monitoring the ship. The voice from the platform interrupts Tazuna and Kakashi talking, and tell them that the 57 lucky people with invitations should be heading towards Tobishachimaru for boarding.

Pages 7-8

Spoiler

Tazuna is overcome with emotion and smiles. It’s the moment of the century at last! They laugh together as they watch over the stream of dressed-up people starting to board Tobishachimaru. People are taking photos to commemorate the occasion, but then they suddenly hear panicked footsteps running up from behind. A woman in a long blue dress is running at full speed, waving her gold ticket in hand, telling them to wait up for her to board. Right when she is next to Kakashi, she stumbles on something and starts to fall, screaming.Kakashi, almost instinctively, catches her body.
The woman’s eyes, which were opened wide, and Kakashi’s eyes caught eachother in the midst of the flowing scenery. Flowing curly hair, slightly opened lips, and moist, large pupils… Time stopped for a moment, and the world became only for Kakashi and the woman.
With a thud, the woman in the long dress collapsed in Kakashi’s arms. As she raised her face, her long curly hair gently tickled the tip of Kakashi’s nose.

Pages 9-10

Spoiler

Kakashi asks if she’s okay. She replies that she’s sorry for troubling him because she was in a hurry, and thanks him. She shouts again and starts to rush at the ship, telling them to wait up for her so she can board. Kakashi notes to Tazuna as he watches her run off that she seems to be really anticipating the sight-seeing flight. He also says that it must be wonderful business to be a carpenter. Tazuna responds instead by saying that she was a really beautiful woman, and speaking of occupations, he inquires about Kakashi’s formal inauguration ceremony. Kakashi shakes his head vaguely. He glances back at the woman, and they are now are awaiting takeoff. Tazuna then says this while Kakashi stares absentmindedly at the tail propellers:“I don’t understand it that well, but regarding the Hokage inauguration ceremony, I suppose it’s something like a marriage ceremony between you and Konohagakure village, right?

Pages 11-12

Spoiler

Kakashi vaguely responds that it might be something like that. Tazuna thinks that he shouldn’t be worried, even if everyone has huge expectations. Suddenly, Kakashi’s eyes catch something in the shadow of the ship. Tazuna doesn’t notice, he keeps going on about the lady, asking Kakashi for example, if she tried to persistently press him for marriage. Kakashi’s ignoring him for the most part. Tazuna continues about the what-if’s of an assertive woman, and says that when he was young, he was like a hungry dog, chasing after the buttocks of women. Kakashi interrupts him as he concentrates on a suspicious man who just jumped from the stern of the ship. Kakashi then rushes towards the Tobishachimaru and the ramp where the last passengers had boarded, leaving behind a confused Tazuna. The staff of the ship are preparing for take-off.

Pages 13-14

Spoiler

Kakashi calls out to the man wearing a black hooded cloak, who stops for a bit. Kakashi gets the impression that the man is uninvited. The man dashes away as Kakashi tells him to wait up. They start exchanging blows, and Kakashi does a consecutive combination of attacks. Kakashi feels that the person he’s fighting against is considerably good: there are no wasted movements. They exchange more taijutsu blows and they are reading eachother’s movements. It was an attack pattern that Kakashi seemed to know well, and Kakashi doesn’t feel any bloodlust.

Pages 15-16

Spoiler

Kakashi realizes that there’s no indication at all that the opponent would use ninjutsu . He double-checks his intuition and looks at the man in the black hood and his stature. Kakashi lands a blow on the opponent’s chest. They continue to exchange consecutive combos of taijutsu. The enemy gets knocked to the ground, and Kakashi is exposes him and says:“Since you’re here, that means Guy is also coming, right?

Notes

Spoiler

It’s Rock Lee! (….~) Kakashi goes through the crowd of other passengers and people taking photos. He heads towards the last rope at the hull that connects the Tobishachimaru to the ground.
[T/N]
No, there aren’t names of the taijutsu specified in this section. Just fists/elbows/legs moving around that aren’t too interesting to translate.
Same thing as in the prologue between Naruto and Sasuke, ガイのやつ= Guy no yatsu= That guy, Guy.

Pages 17-18

Spoiler

As Kakashi crosses by the window of the gondola, he catches a glimpse of the people inside, but no one notices him at all. He goes on the side of the air sac and runs up to the tail of the ship. Kakashi starts thinking about how Lee had escaped the watchful eyes of the Jounin who were distributed around the venue. He muses that perhaps they were bribed. Kakashi struggles to the stern of the ship, hanging with one hand. Inside there’s a five metre long propeller. He guesses that they would have trespassed from here. The propellers start to turn, and the speed increases with a low roar. As they increase altitude, strong winds start blowing, and the temperature is colder than expected. Kakashi gathers chakra at his hands and feet to not be blown away by the wind.

Pages 19-20

Spoiler

Kakashi continues to crawl to the propulsion section. The Tobishachimaru seems to have finally decided on it’s course, and stops for a moment in midair. Kakashi braves against the wind and crawls into the interior just before the propellers start to rotate again, and braces himself. He’s fortunate that the propeller speed wasn’t too high, otherwise he would have been minced meat. Kakashi is relieved. But he’s still in danger of being sucked in, so he gathers chakra again to cling onto the ship. Little by little, he makes progress towards escaping that interior section and checks his surroundings. He notices that the front buoyancy air sac is blocked off, but it’s connected to where he is by a ladder that he can climb down. It seems to head to the engine room. Kakashi hears a strange noise, so he scans the scaffolding that is running in every direction.
[T/N]
I realize the summary doesn’t really do it justice, but in Japanese, it sounds like an action movie~~

Pages 21-22(Important in my opinion)

Spoiler

Kakashi notices that it seems to be the shadow of Lee, who’s still wearing the black hood escaping. Kakashi jumps over iron railing and the scaffolding. On the bottom of the ship’s hold, there were many wooden boxes. The man in the wheelchair was staggering on the scaffolding that was running parallel to Kakashi’s footing. Kakashi hops over and says “What is the meaning of this, Guy!”Guy suddenly stops his wheelchair. Kakashi demands an explanation and sighs. He asks if Guy coerced Lee into giving him a ride to the Tobishachimaru, as it seems that it’s as if he threatened to cut off their student-teacher bonds. And then Kakashi notes Guy’s condition:
In the battle with Madara, the bones of Guy’s right leg were (completely) smashed/broken. Since (that incident), he was inevitably confined to life in a wheelchair. According to physicians, they had said that it was not even possible to walk again.
However, astonishingly, by diligently training, this man with such adversity was not only bound to return, but also when putting forth the true power of youth, his rehabilitation was up to an extent of being able walk and stand.

Pages 23-24

Spoiler

Gai responds:“Even if it wasn’t for Lee, I can always do whatever I want”said Guy, as he spoke on and on. “As a human being, even without one or two legs, one can perfectly continue to live. Personally, I’ll be proof of that”Kakashi then glances at Gai’s right foot, which is in a cast, and asks him if that’s why he purposely trespassed onto Tobishachimaru. Guy responds:“Listen, Kakashi…it doesn’t mean that it’s yet to be the end of me as a shinobi. Even now, the left leg (can) squat 1,000 or 2,000 times. It’s nothing (/not a big deal). If I set my mind on it, whether or not I get in the wheelchair, edging (my way) into such a ship, it’ll be easy. Wahahaha!

Notes

Spoiler

[T/N]
Wahahaha! Is a really dynamic, roaring laughter.
Kakashi stares at Guy, but Guy keeps on talking. He says that he wasn’t particularly interested in the ship at all, or for the scenery at 5,000 metres in sky. As for the ship that’s 223 metres long and over 200 tons, he doesn’t care how it can fly. In Kakashi’s head, he’s thinking, “This guy… no matter what, he just wanted to get aboard the ship”.
[T/N]
Guy is trying to play it cool, but obviously Kakashi can see right through his intentions

Pages 25-26

Spoiler

Kakashi reminds Guy about his terrible seasickness. Gai tries to brush off his chances of vomiting, He says that a ship is a ship, but this is an airship, implying that it’s a different situation. Kakashi reminds him that it’s still a ship nevertheless. Guy persists that he’ll be fine, but then his face suddenly gets pale and feels nauseated, as he’s obviously queasy. Kakashi wonders what Guy’s going to do about it. Then they change the subject have this funny chat, starting with Kakashi:“For the Jounin who are concealed on this ship, they were reported to the Wave Country in advance. Since we aren’t reported (on the invitation), and if it’s discovered that we are here, (the Wave’s Country’s) confidence in Konoha will be influenced. If they think that we might be trying to steal information about the Tobishachimaru, there may be a misunderstanding.”
“It’s not a problem”
“Hah?”
“Because as for this sight-seeing flight, it’s a secret to other countries. “ Guy was broadly grinning and laughing. “Formally, the Tobishachimaru doesn’t exist. Therefore, you and I can’t be sneaking onto a ship that doesn’t exist”
“Ahh, I see”


Notes

Spoiler

T/N]
In the raw in the earlier portion of this section, Gai says うっぷ=ulp= burp or blech, but it’s also used to indicate feeling sick, a bit like gagging.

Pages 27-28

Spoiler

Guy laughs with a “Wahaha!”, saying it was all premediated…but then lurches again. He asks that apart from that, what happened to his favourite pupil? Kakashi says that he’s fine and returned back to guard Hyouzukijyou (Blood Prison). Guy says that he’s probably channeling his power of youth to watch over the prisoners by proxy. He feels sick again. He tells Kakashi that since he put forth the effort into sneaking onto the ship, he ought to push him around in his wheelchair so that they can look around a bit. Suddenly, Guy’s expression changes grimly and stops talking, looking downward at the lower part of the ship’s hold. Kakashi notices as well: there are shinobi. Aside from the Jounin inside the ship that have been approved, there shouldn’t be any others. The steady their balance on the ship and study the situation.
[T/N]
It makes more sense in the novel because in between words, Guy suddenly breaks his sentences with “….ulp…” and then keeps talking~ Poor Guy-sensei!

Pages 29-30

Spoiler

Guy and Kakashi erase their presence and watch over the people below. From above, their faces aren’t clear, and their clothing doesn’t seem to be different than those of other passengers. They don’t notice Guy and Kakashi and the shinobi squat down near the side of some wooden boxes, and then hastily leave. Guy and Kakashi exchange glances. Kakashi heads over to check the surroundings and find what he’s looking for immediately. Guy asks what he found. Kakashi groans back that things are going to become difficult; he found kunai with exploding tags. Then immediately from the dining room lounge, they hear screaming.

TLDR;

* Tsunade gets ransom notice

* Baddies replaced people who were actually supposed to board the ship (that's how they snuck on) and hid them in a cabin

* Tsunade consults Shikamaru on what to do about the hostage situation

* Lee tries to apologize for the Guy and Kakashi fiasco.

* Naruto can't know about this, and Tsunade starts to mobilize all other available shinobi

 

[YamatoWho]

OD writes on NF that another translator from tumblr wrote up a summary through chapter six. (So they are a little bit ahead of what she has posted on reddit)

The tumblr person isn't 100% fluent in English, but you can understand it well enough. They are not as detailed as OD quality posts. But you can sorta get of gist of what's coming up.

I'd personally wait for the OD translation, because honestly some of it doesn't make sense and it gets kinda choppy. Especially if you compare this person's summary to the parts that OD has either summarized or translated already.

Especially the new jutsu stuff. It got glossed over.

 

[AndreJNZ]

Never mind.....
