RAWEnglish写輪眼ドラッグ。サスケの眼で、ドラッグを作る。A Sharingan drug. With Sasuke’s eyes, they’ll make drugs.聞かされたおぞましい計画に、サクラは顔を歪めた。そして、その計画の一部に、自分が組みこまれていることに、サクラは怒りを覚えた。Sakura grimaced at the repulsive plan that she was informed about . Even so, Sakura felt angry at herself since she was involved in a portion of their plans.だが、その怒りも長くは続かなかった。次に襲ってきたのは自己嫌悪だった。But that anger didn’t last for long either. Next, she was struck by self-loathing.――なにやってるの、私……。――What am I doing…..自分を責める気持ちが、あとからあとから湧いてきて、サクラの気力を奪っていく。She felt that she should blame herself, as those feelings came welling up one after another. It was s.n.a.t.c.hing away Sakura’s willpower.サスケのために動いている、という実感を噛みしめていた矢先の、この失敗だ。サスケのためになっているどころか、サスケの足を引っ張っている。She was working for Sasuke’s sake, and took those feelings to heart when she was on the verge of making this mistake. It was anything but useful to Sasuke; Instead, it was a hindrance to Sasuke.――また今度な……。―― Until next time…サスケはそう言ってくれた。Sasuke had said that to her.その「今度」を心待ちにしていた。She was looking forward to that ‘Next time’.ところが今、自分の失敗のせいで、サスケが窮地に立たされようとしているのだ。最悪だ。こんな形で再会するなんて、最悪だ。Even so, now Sasuke was about to be put into a dilemma because of her own mistake. This is the worst case. Meeting up again in a situation like this would be the worst case.サイ、いの、と心のなかで呼びかけた。She called out to Sai and Ino in her mind.――もう私が捕まったことに気づいてる？早く助けに――――Did you already realize that I’ve been captured? Hurry and rescue――そこで、サクラははっとした。暗い淵に落ちていきそうだったところを、寸前でこらえた、という感じだった。Right then, Sakura was taken aback. It felt like she was resisting at the edge of something, and she was about to fall down and into a dark abyss.――なに言ってるの、私。―― What am I saying?――早く助けに来て？――Hurry and come to rescue me?だめだ、と心のなかで強く断じた。だめだ、だめだ。‘No.’ She strongly came to that conclusion in her mind. No, no.サスケやナルトと、第七班で一緒になったばかりの頃を思い出した。あの、弱かった頃の自分を。She remembered the time when she had just joined up with Sasuke and Naruto in Team 7. At that time, she was weak.――私、いつもナルトとサスケくんに守られてた。守られてばかりだった。――I was always being saved by Naruto and Sasuke-kun. Just constantly being saved.――そんな自分が嫌だった。だから、強くなった。――I hated myself when I was like that. That’s why I became stronger.――あの二人の背中ばっかり見ていたくない。対等になりたい。だから……。――I didn’t want to only see the backs of those two people. I want to become equal to them. That’s why….今の私は、と思った。あの頃の、弱い私じゃないか。She thought of herself as she was now. She wasn’t as weak as she was back then, right?――絶望して、仲間の助けを期待して。こんなので、サスケくんと会う資格ないよ……。――In despair, and expecting the aid of my comrades... I’m not worthy of meeting Sasuke-kun like this…『――お前、うざいよ』『――You’re annoying 』から始まって、From beginning at that,

Pages 160 and 161

RAWEnglish『――また今度な……ありがとう』『――Until next time….Thank you 』そこまで来たんだ、私とサスケくんの関係は。The relations.h.i.+p between me and Sasuke has come this far.うざい自分に戻りたくない。サクラは思った。弱い自分には、もう戻らない――‘I don’t want to revert back into my annoying self’. That’s what Sakura thought. ‘I won’t revert back into my weak self anymore.’ ――やろう、今できることを――I’ll do what I can for now――「サスケくんが……」“Sasuke-kun…..”サクラは、キッと顔を上げて言った。Sakura sternly lifted her head and spoke.「サスケくんが、あんたたちみたいなのに、やすやすと捕まると思う？」“Do you think that guys like you can capture Sasuke-kun so easily?”「思う」“I think so”笑みを消し、キドは冷然と言った。Kido stopped smiling and spoke with indifference.その確信に満ちた態度が、サクラを一瞬ぞっとさせた。His att.i.tude was full of conviction. It made Sakura s.h.i.+ver for an instant.「もとより勝算がないのに、あの男を里におびき寄せようなどとは考えない」“Even though there was no chance of success at the beginning, I didn’t consider something like luring that man back to the village”確かにあの男は強い、とキドは言った。‘Certainly, that man is powerful’, said Kido.「それは認める。しかし、こちらも手練れを用意している」“I’ll admit to that. However, I’m also preparing skills for this”手練れ、という言葉で、サクラは思い出した。Sakura remembered a word like ‘skills’.サイが襲われたとき、相手は尾獣のチャクラをまとっていたという。When Sai was attacked, he said that the enemies were cloaked in tailed-beast chakra.「尾獣のチャクラを使う気ね」“Something like using tailed-beast chakra, right?”サクラは言った。Sakura said.「サイから聞いたか？そうだ。厳密には尾獣ではなく、尾獣モドキだがな。それでもそこそこ戦える」“You heard about it from Sai? I see. Strictly speaking, it’s not a tailed-beast. But it’s a pseudo-tailed-beast. Despite that, they can still fight fairly well.”「そこそこ？そんなので勝算なんて言葉、よく使えたわね」“Fairly well? You used it well enough to say that your chances of success depend on something like that?”「それで十分だ。勝てなくてもいい、殺せなくてもいい。こちらはあいつの体を拘束して、眼を奪えればいいのだ」“It’s sufficient. It’s fine if we won’t be able to win. It’s fine if we won’t be able to kill him. It’s fine as long as we restrain his body and can s.n.a.t.c.h away his eyes”キドの落ち着き払った態度が、頭にくる。だが、いい流れだった。この会話を打ち切らせてはいけない。Kid’s composed att.i.tude then became angry. But the stream of his words went well. She must not let him end their conversation.「どうしても欲しいのね、サスケくんの眼が」“So you want Sasuke-kun’s eyes by any means, right?”「そのために準備を進めてきたのだからな」“That’s why we hastened our preparations”「終末の谷でサスケくんの髪や血液を集めて、そこからチャクラを取り出し、偽者を仕立て上げた――そうなんでしょう？」“From the Valley of the End, you collected Sasuke-kun’s hair and blood. You extracted his chakra from it, and then you made an imposter out of that――Something like that happened, right?”「さすがは医療忍者だな。察しがいい。――しかし、よかったじゃないか。そのおかげでお前は、偽者とはいえ、サスケに会えたんだ」“As I thought, you’re a medical ninja, right? Your guess is correct. ――But isn’t it great? Thanks to that, you could meet Sasuke…even though it’s an imposter”くっくとキドが笑う。サクラはキドを睨んだ。Kido laughed with a ‘kukku’ sound. Sakura glared at Kido.

RAWEnglish「偽者に会って嬉しいわけないでしょ。大体ね、あんたたち知らないだろうけど、本物のサスケくんはもっとすらつとしてて、目元も涼しげで、声ももうちょっとだけ低くて、鼻筋も通ってんのよ。アンタたちの作った偽者はクオリティが低いのよ、クオリティが」“There’s no reason to be happy about meeting an imposter, right? You guys don’t know the main points about him, eh? But the genuine Sasuke-kun is even slimmer, his eyes are cool and refres.h.i.+ng, his voice is just a bit lower, and he also has a defined nose bridge. The imposter that you guys made is a low quality one. The quality……”「その偽者にだまされたお前が言っても、説得力はないな」“Even though you’re saying that you won’t be tricked by that imposter Sasuke, you don’t have any persuasiveness”「うるさい。似てないったら、似てな――」“Shut up. If he doesn’t resemble him, then he doesn’t resem――”「この男が、各地でサスケの偽者を演じていた男だ」“This man….this is the man who’s been playing the part of the imposter Sasuke who’s been sighted in various places”キドはサクラの声を遮りながら言った。その言葉で、背後にいた二人の仮面のうち、一人が前に進み出た。Kido interrupted her and spoke over Sakura’s voice. With those words, one man stepped forward among the two masked men who were behind him.「お前をさらうときに偽のサスケを演じたのも、こいつだ」“When you were kidnapped, the one who played the part of the imposter Sasuke…was him”「それが……どうしたのよ」“Then…..What did you do”「仮面を外してみろ」“Take off your mask”キドが命じると、そいつは言う通りにした。At Kido’s command, the man did as he was told.仮面が外され、サスケとは似ても似つかない男の顔が現れた。Once the mask was taken off, the man’s face was visible. It did not bear any resemblance to Sasuke at all.「そしてこれが」“And then with this….”と言って、キドはコートのポケットから白いカプセルを一錠取り出した。As he spoke, Kido took out one pill from the white capsule in his coat pocket.「サスケのチャクラをおさめたカプセルだ。飲めば、一定時間、サスケと同じ色、同じ系統のチャクラをまとうことができる。――おい」“It’s a capsule that stores Sasuke’s chakra. Once you swallow it, you can be cloaked in the same chakra system and the same colour of chakra as Sasuke… for a certain period of time. ――Oi!”キドはそのカプセルを、仮面を外した男に渡した。Kido handed over the capsule to the man who had taken off his mask.「サスケに会わせてやれ」“I’ll make you meet Sasuke”キドはサクラを横目で見ながら、男にそう命じた。While Kido made a sidelong glace at Sakura, he issue the order to the man.「やめなさいよ」“Stop”「わかりました」“Understood”「やめてったら」“Stop it”サクラの声にはかまわず、男はカプセルを飲み下した。そして、両手で印を結ぶ。He didn’t care about Sakura’s voice. The man swallowed the capsule. Then he made a seal with both hands.ぼん、と煙が立ち、それが晴れると、そこにサスケが立っていた。顔はサスケ。チャクラも、サスケだった。With a ‘bon’ sound, smoke rose upwards. When that cleared away, Sasuke was standing there. It was Sasuke’s face. It was even Sasuke’s chakra.「――！」「――！」サクラはすぐに目をそらした。不覚にも、一瞬どきりとしてしまった自分を恥じた。Sakura immediately averted her eyes. She felt ashamed at herself for feeling startled for an instant at this failure as well.「どうだ。クオリティが低いかどうか、もう一度見てみろ」“So how is it? Is it low quality or not? Try to look again”――誰が見るか。――Who would look?サクラは目を閉じて、キドやその男から顔をそむけた。絶対に見るものか。Sakura closed her eyes. She turned her face away from Kido and that man. How could she ever look at him?ややあって靴音がした。サクラのほうに近づいてくる。After a little while, there were footsteps that were approaching beside her.

RAWEnglishサクラの近くで、誰かが立ち止まった。Someone had stopped next to Sakura.薄く目を開けて、サクラはぎょっとした。偽のサスケがしゃがみこみ、サクラの顔を覗きこんでいた。Opening her eyes slightly, she was started. The imposter Sasuke was crouching down and peeking into Sakura’s face.――近づくな！――Don’t come closer!サクラはまた顔をそむけようとした。Sakura tried to turn her face away again.そのときだった。But then…偽のサスケが、サクラの髪を触りながら言った。While the imposter Sasuke was touching Sakura’s hair, he spoke:「愛してるぞ、サクラ」“I love you, Sakura”「――！！」「――！！」叫び出したくなるほどの悪寒が全身を駆け抜けた。She wanted to let a cry as chills ran throughout her body.サクラは偽のサスケを睨みつけた。Sakura glared at the imposter Sasuke.偽のサスケは、本物のサスケが浮かべるはずのない、下卑た薄笑いを口元に張りつかせている。The imposter Sasuke then formed a vulgar, faint smile across his lips. It wasn’t an expression that the genuine Sasuke would do.「……！」「……！」言葉が出てこなかった。全身に怒りが充満していた。Words wouldn’t come out. Her entire body was filled with anger.偽のサスケがキドのほうへ戻っていくのを、サクラは燃えるような目で睨み続けた。The imposter Sasuke returned back to Kido’s side. Sakura continued to glare at them with eyes that seemed to be fired up.偽のサスケは、变化の術を解き、また仮面をつけた。仮面で隠されるまで、男は薄笑いを浮かべていた。The imposter Sasuke released the Henge no Jutsu and wore his mask again. Until he was hidden by the mask, the man expressed a faint smile.「再会おめでとう」“Congratulations on the reunion”キドが言った。サクラを屈服させた、という満足感が、その声の底には惨んでいた。Kido said. By making Sakura succ.u.mb to it, there was a feeling of satisfaction. But beneath that voice was cruelty.サクラは息を吐いた。もう一度吸い、吐く。激しく波立っていた心が、少しずつ治まっていくのがわかった。Sakura took a breath. She took another breath, and then exhaled. She knew that her severely turbulent heart was starting to gradually settle down.やがてサクラは言った。Soon enough, Sakura spoke:「…全然違う」“….They’re completely different”「……？」「……？」キドが怪訝な顔になった。Kido had a dubious expression on his face.「やっぱり本物と偽者とじゃ、全然違う。……でもいいわ。アンタたちが悪趣味なもの見せてくれたおかげで、私のなかに十分すぎるほど溜まったから。怒りと……チャクラがね」“As I thought, the genuine and the imposter Sasuke…are completely different. But that’s fine. Since you guys showed me such a tasteless thing, I’ve acc.u.mulated more than enough of these within me: Anger…and chakra”そう言うとサクラは、キドと会話しながら密かに練り続けていたチャクラを一気に全身に駆け廻らせた。As Sakura spoke during the conversation with Kido, she was secretly continuing to knead chakra. She ran it throughout her body at once.薬の影響で、普段なら短時間でできるチャクラの練りこみに時間が必要だった。While under the effects of the drug, she needed time to knead her chakra. Usually, she could have done it in a shorter time.

RAWEnglishだから、サクラはなんとか会話を引き延ばそうとした。挑発的な態度をとり続け、キドとの会話を増やした。That’s why Sakura was trying to prolong the conversation one way or another. By continuing on with an exasperating att.i.tude, she increased the time of her conversation with Kido.百豪の術をなしとげたサクラにとって、会話しながら、しかも相手に気取られずチャクラを溜めるのは難しいことではなかった。Since Sakura had accomplished the Byakugou no Jutsu, it wasn’t too difficult to acc.u.mulate chakra: Even while she was carrying on a conversation, she wouldn’t be suspected by the enemy.チャクラは溜まった。そこに、悪趣味なものを見せられたことによる怒りも加わり、サクラの四肢に無双の怪力がよみがえった。She had gathered chakra. And then due to the tasteless thing that they had showed her, her anger had also escalated. An unparalleled, superhuman strength was restored within Sakura’s limbs.「マギレ、もう一度薬を――」“Magire, get another dose――”「もう遅い！」“You’re already too late!”サクラが両腕と両脚にカをこめると、手かせと足かせが同時に弾け飛んだ。Sakura put strength into both of her arms and legs. Her handcuffs and shackles simultaneously snapped open and flew off.
