RAWEnglishキドは焦れていた。Kido was becoming irritated.サスケの偽者を動かし、世界各地で目撃させるところまでは首尾よくいった。だが、肝心の本物のサスケが里に現れない。He had successfully mobilized the imposter Sasuke so that he would even be sighted all over the world. However, the crucial and genuine Sasuke hadn’t appeared in the village.――なぜ、戻らない…？――Why won’t he return?本物のサスケが、この状況を知らないはずがない。必ずどこかで耳にしているはずだ。It was impossible that the genuine Sasuke didn’t know about these circ.u.mstances. Surely, he ought to have heard of it somewhere.サスケの無反応が、キドには気に入らなかった。キドのやろうとしていることを、サスケは歯牙にもかけていない、という感じが、その無反応から匂ってくるからだ。Kido was not pleased with Sasuke’s non-reaction. It seemed as though Sasuke wasn’t paying attention to the things that Kido was trying to do. Because that’s the impression that came reeking from his non-reaction.だが、キドは焦れつつも、一つ妙案を思いついていた。However, while Kido was getting irritated, an ingenious idea came to mind.この手を打てば、サスケが里に戻る公算が高まるだけでなく、もう一つキドの計画にとって好材料が生まれることになる。If he took this measure, not only would he raise the likelihood of Sasuke returning to the village, but it would also produce good material for Kido’s plans.「――次の手を打つ」"――We"ll take the next measure"執務室でキドは言うった。マギレと、他に数名の幹部がいた。幹部は、暗部の仮面をつけている。Kido was speaking in the office. Aside from Magire, there were several other executives. The executives were wearing ANBU masks.「この女を――」”This woman――”と言って、キドは右手を軽く振った。一瞬後、壁に一本のクナイが突き刺さった。クナイは一枚の写真を壁に留めていた。As he spoke, Kido nimbly swung his right hand. A moment later, a kunai pierced the wall. The kunai affixed a photo onto the wall.「さらえ。サスケと同期の、春野サクラという女だ。女が行方不明になった、というニュースがサスケの耳に入れば、サスケは里に戻るだろう」“Kidnap her. She is Sasuke’s peer, a woman named Haruno Sakura. If that woman went missing, and if Sasuke hears that news, I think that Sasuke will return to the village.”「それなら、いっそ殺してしまうというったのは？」“If that"s the case, do you mean that we might as well kill her?”別の幹部が言った。Said a different executive.「やつにとっては、そのほうがインパクトが大きいでしょう」“Wouldn’t it be a larger impact on that guy?”「いや、殺さない」“No, don’t kill her”キドは言った。薄く笑い、続ける。Kido said. He thinly smiled and then continued.「すぐにはな」“Not immediately.”
