won the Shōsetsu Subaru Rookie of the Yearaward with “Jashū” in 2008. He wrote a great number of books as an expert onhistorical plays. He wrote the novels “Naruto– s.h.i.+kamaru hiden”, and the comic “a.s.sa.s.sin’s Creed 4” among other things, andhe’s spreading his field of activity.
NOTES:
*Bright light also with the meaning of‘hope, bright future’.
**Uhh there’s a part I don’t understand,because apparently aris.h.i.+ is anoutdated form of the verb aru (tobe/live/exist), but aru is used withinanimate objects… I’ve seen another translation of the chapters, butapparently they didn’t translate aris.h.i.+at all… *shrugs*
***I like this expression so much, inj.a.panese it’s literally “black as the wet feathers of a crow”.
So, here’s my little preview… The cover(which I had to remove, seeing what had become of Sasuke’s s.h.i.+nden’s one, whichgot all ruined – especially because initially I kept opening it on the wrongside) is now widely known, while the book in itself has manga panels of Itachithrowing shurikens and some writings (which I began translating, but since Idiscovered they are words Danzou says to Itachi at some point of the novel,there’s no point I continued, you’ll read it anyway sometime).
The very first page it that infamouspicture of Itachi and s.h.i.+sui, and since I’ve already seen a lot of goodpictures of it I’m not gonna bother scanning it (also, considering the amountof time it took me for scanning that d.a.m.n characters page… ugh).
Like for Sasuke s.h.i.+nden, I’ll keep thispage updated with the translations as I complete the sections.I’ll try to be a good translator and post 1.1 this sat.u.r.day, but I can’t promise anything…
