Title:
Number 260: Kakashi vs. Itachi!!
Left-side:
The face of a brat becomes a bit courageous! Is it about time to show of the growth of the last two years?
Page 2
Frame 1, Text:
Waking from the genjutsu world... once again, into the battle!!
Frame 1, Sakura:
Hey! Get it together!
Frame 3, Kakashi:
Naruto, I'm going to show you how it's done
Page 3
Frame 2, Text:
Katon
(Effectively 'fire element')
Frame 4, Text:
goukakyuu no jutsu
(Lit. Grand Fire Ball Technique)
Page 4
Frame 5, Naruto, Thought:
I get it! That's Kakashi-sensei for you!
Page 6
Frame 3, Kakashi, Thought:
goukakyuu... but... something's weird...
(Lit. 'but... since a moment ago there's something...)
Page 7
Left-side:
To Gaara...! However, there [stands] a large obstacle!!
Page 8
Frame 4, Itachi, Right Bubble:
Impressive... Your use of jutsu are quite good
Frame 4, Itachi, Left Bubble:
You hid yourself with the doton for a moment, so it took me a while to notice
('doton' is effectively 'earth element')
Page 9
Frame 2, Itachi:
That explains...
Frame 3, Itachi, Right Bubble:
why my genjutsu didn't work...
Left Bubble:
This is a kagebunshin...
Frame 4, Kakashi:
Hit him and my kagebunshin together! Naruto!
Frame 5, Naruto:
I know already!

Frame 2, Text:
oodama rasengan
(Lit. 'Big Ball Spiral Sphere'... mom look, I can do alliteration!!!)
Page 12
Frame 1, Sakura:
Wo... wow...
Frame 2, Chiyo-baasama:
Oohhh... This kid!
Page 13
Frame 4, Naruto:
Guh...
Frame 5, Chiyo-baasama:
This... This is...
Page 14
Frame 3, Lee:
What... what exactly was that?
Frame 5, Guy, Right:
I don't know
Left:
It's probably one of their...
Page 15
Frame 1, Sakura:
This is their... a jutsu of some kind...
Frame 2, Kakashi:
I felt something weird while I was fighting...
Frame 3, Naruto:
What exactly is this...?!
Frame 4, Chiyo-baasama:
This guy...
Frame 5, Kakashi:
Do you know this man?
Frame 6, Chiyo-baasama:
Yeah...
Page 16
Frame 1, Chiyo, Right:
Yuura...
Left:
He's a jounin from our village
Frame 2, Kakashi:
From Suna...? What does that mean?
Frame 2, Chiyo:
Even I don't know that...
Frame 3, Sakura:
Perhaps he was an Akatsuki spy...
Frame 4, Chiyo:
That can't be... to think that he who took a role of leader for 4 years would...
Frame 5, Naruto:
Did he change into Itachi using a henge jutsu?
Frame 6, Kakashi, Right:
No... this isn't that level of jutsu... not this
Left:
The goukakyuu jutsu is an Uchiha-original that they like to use. And that was the real thing...
Page 17
Frame 2, Kisame:
It seems that you're done also
Frame 2, Itachi, Right:
Yeah... out of chakra
Left:
But, that should have held them up enough
Frame 3, Kisame:
Well, the chakra we gave to the "sacrifices" was only 30% after all...
Frame 4, Kisame (Not Itachi):
Even though it is a useful jutsu which creates a duplicate of us, the chakra we hand over isn't all that much. So, relative to that amount, our strength and available jutsu become limited
Page 18
Frame 2, Akatsuki Leader:
The jutsu has ended I see...
Frame 3, Akatsuki Leader, Right:
However, that bought us quite a bit of time
Left:
That should be quite enough. Well done, Itachi, Kisame
Frame 4, Sasori, Right:
You make this sound so simple
Left:
The people who became the sacrifices of for you jutsu, and gave their bodies to those two, were both my subordinates in the end
Frame 5:
Heh
Page 19
Frame 1, Akatsuki Leader:
Through my "shouten no jutsu", they were able to become members of Akatsuki for a short period of time.
('shouten' is probably best literally translated as 'form-transfer')
Frame 2, Akatsuki Leader:
I'd actually expect them to be grateful, but...
Frame 4, Akatsuki Leader:
Heh heh... Just a little longer, huh?
