I, who have been a prisoner of memories. Are there comrades waiting for me, who has finally set off?
Cover is Nagato, Konan, Yahiko
Madara reaches Nagato!! And Konan is...
Madara dysons Nagato (TN: I just had to give a direct trans cuz I found it funny. Dyson is the name of a bran of vacuum cleaner in Japan)
Madara (That took a while. Shall we go...?)
Konan has died in the water (floating)
Flashback
3 small boards are lined up. Jiraiya, Konan, Yahiko are wearing frog suits.
Jiraiya: The rightmost one is Konan's, the centre is Yahiko's... And the leftmost one is Nagato's
Yahiko: What's that?
Jiraiya: These are what we call "frog boards"
Yahiko: Frog boards?
Jiraya: Mmhmm... On this side, it's red, and the other side is white. And if you turn it over like this!
Jiraiya breaks into a grin
Jiraiya: When you go out, turn it over to the white side before you leave... By the way, this picture is a signal meaning that you're going to come home soon!
When he flips it over, there is a picture of a frog.
Yahiko: ... What the... What's that, since just now... We're just overlooking the fact that you're pushing these frogs onto us cuz you're the frog sennin
Jiraiya breaks into a grin
Konan: ... But why do we have to do that?
Jiraiya: There's still poor public order in this area... We don't know when this place could be targeted... And when you're in this hideout, its easy to get targeted. If your location gets out, then it's easy for a secret attack to be launched.
Konan: In short, even though the board stays red, if that person is not inside the hideout, it means that he's been abducted by the enemy or something. If it's white but he's been inside all along, it could mean that there is a possibility that the enemy has transformed into him... We can suss that out right away, right?
Jiraiya: That's right... You did well to understand that, Konan... Unlike Yahiko
Yahiko: I got that too!! ... Somewhat...
Jiraiya: In any case, it's a code just for the 4 of us to constantly check each other's presence! In other words, I'm telling you that we're in a situation where we can't let our guard down even when we're in the hideout.For the time being, I've made a hidden room underground and a path to get out of it. If anything happens, run away from here.
By the way, my board's behind you. Now, it's about time to do our "water off a duck's back" training! It's training that trains your unshakable endurance and turns you completely into a frog!!
Yahiko: Yosshaa!! Let's go! Everyone!
Nagato: Yahiko... Does he really get it... This time Sensei did it for us earlier but...
Yahiko: I'm gonna get even stronger and stronger, and then change (kaeru) this country!!
Konan and Nagato smile
Yahiko smiles widely
Jiraiya: Before changing (kaeru) the country, flip the frog board!! (Did I make that kind of face as well just now... How embarrassing...)
Training. Meal. Then they part ways with Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's frog board remains turned.
The three of them continue to train and fight...
Only Nagato's frog board has been flipped.
In the hideout, Konan is treating Nagato's wounds.
Their eyes meet. Somehow there's a nice atmosphere about them.
Nagato is waiting at the door.
And they battle again. (TN: I think ohana mixed up Nagato and Yahiko a little here)
Yahiko: Our organisation has grown big... We've gotta switch to a new hideout...
The three of them gather their luggage and stand rooted to the ground
Konan: Today, we have to say goodbye to this place as well, huh...
Nagato: Yeah...
Yahiko: We changed here... We attained power. Everything started from this place. For the sake of the realisation of our dreams, we will set off from this place! And...
Outside, enemies are waiting for an opportunity to attack
Konan turns over her board
Yahiko turns over his board
Just then, a kunai with explosive tags on it hits the hideout.
The enemy infiltrates the hideout
Enemy: Where did they go?
Some distance away, outside
Nagato: The hidden room was helpeful in the end, huh
Yahiko: That was a pretty big explosion, though... Feels just like this country. Well, here we go! Nagato! Konan!
For the sake of the realisation of our dreams, we will set off from this place! And when our dreams come true, even if we're separated from each other...
We'll return to this place. (TN: this is where the chapter title comes from)
Konan's paper flies. It hides the frog boards at the hideout.
And then the three of us will congratulate each other!!
... Then we've got to invite Jiraiya-sensei too when that happens...
Yeah...
Well... Will it even happen...
Madara has a mask like in 20th Century Boys
Kabutomaru: Despite causing some trouble, you've got hold of some fine eyes, haven't you?
Madara: ... They were mine to begin with.
Zetsu: Hey... The information from Kisame's reached as well... In many ways, things are looking to be in our favour...
Madara is holding some stick? cane? something long
Madara: I'm off to get the Kyuubi
What Madara is aiming for as he nears perfection with a new mask is... Naruto!!
On break next week. Naruto as well as Kishimoto-sensei's one-shot "Bench" will be serialised in WSJ #45!
