Number 270: Miscalculation...!!
Frame 1, Kankurou:
You're late.
Frame 2, Temari:
I may not look it, but I was in a hurry getting back. But more to the point, you were too late in giving me the job of border patrol.
Frame 3, Temari:
It's your fault for not making good preparations!
Frame 4, Kankurou:
It may look that way, but I was still recovering, so I just let you have your way. You shouldn't be saying things like that.
Frame 5, Temari:
Heh...

Frame 1, Kankurou:
Well then...
Frame 1, Temari:
Let's go
Frame 3, Kakashi:
Wait up, Naruto! Don't go too far away from me!!

Frame 3, Deidara, Thought:
Well... I said I was going to take care of the Jinchuuriki, but I don't even have any explosive clay left, and now even that copy ninja Kakashi is after me.
Frame 4, Deidara:
What to do... hmm.
Frame 5, Kakashi, Thought:
We've gotten too far away from Sakura and the rest. Not just that, but at this distance we can't use the radios.

Frame 1, Kakashi, Thought:
I can't be messing around like this... No other options, guess I need to end this, with "that".

Frame 1, Sasori:
All that brute strength, and you call yourself a girl.
Frame 3, Chiyo:
She is quite the girl... In this short period of time, she's already starting to pick up on Sasori's attack patterns.
Frame 4, Chiyo:
Enough that she can do this even without my help... To think she'd be this capable... that Tsunade... she has quite the pupil.

Frame 1, Tsunade:
Listen up, Sakura. For a medical ninja, your ability to attack is of secondary importance.
Frame 2, Tsunade:
You know why, right?
Frame 2, Sakura:
A medical ninja plays the team's support role. More so than attacking, battle backup and medical duties come first!
Frame 3, Tsunade:
Wrong!!
Frame 4, Sakura:
Wha!?
Frame 5, Tsunade:
A medical ninja must never be hit by the enemy's attack. The most important thing is your ability to evade attacks.
Frame 6, Sakura:
... Why is that?

Frame 1, Tsunade:
... If the medical ninja dies, who exactly is going to care for the team?
Frame 2, Tsunade:
... Starting now I'm going to go after you for real. This is training where you'll dodge all my attacks... I won't hold back.
Frame 3, Sakura, Thought:
Their fingers move before an attack without fail. That's the weak point of a puppeteer... And I'm starting to be able to read the direction of this guy's attacks through the movement patterns of his fingers and arms...
Frame 4, Sasori, Thought:
The girl won't take her eyes off me. If things stay like this, this could take a while. It'll use a bit of chakra, but there's no way around it. Guess I'll finish her with "that"...
