Amidst the impossibly peculiar time the Konoha Boys(and girls)scouts continue to have against the happiest villain in the world, i.e, Tobi and the extremely high density of exclamation marks, the following startling realisation is suddenly made:

Does Shino have an afro under his hood? From what is remembered of part 1 of the manga, he certainly had the hair for it.

EDIT! --

uploaded a version 2 on the 1st april. no it's not a joke version. Some fixes to the translation. Usually I don't bother but this error is major. only a couple of lines but it changes a lot of things. which proves you can't have that much faith in regular translations these days... (also fixed a few minor typos and incongruencies)

May the weasel dude rest in peace. If he is indeed what he seems to be.

This issue: Highly emotionally charged scenes! Wanton deforestation! A switch in the narrative to other interesting events and finally, Creepy Crawlies!

First off I'd like to remind all that there are restrictions concerning the redistribution, rehosting and reuse of the NBST chapters. Whether you like reading our stuff or not, respect those rules.

and next off.

Following from last week's general banging heads against walls, well...

I can't say really. It's all somewhat expected, yet unexpected at the same time.

in this issue. Epic Things of Epic Proportions are seen to happen but just as suddenly, ... one is left with a profound sense of "lol wut?"... Those of a less sane disposition might consider banging their head, not too hard though, against the walls nearest to them...

mah, I'm back.

anyway, I haven't read the few previous chapters we've missed, raws or translations, but I can figure out that it's been the usual humdrum.

this issue features: Excitement! Adventure!! Really Wild Things!!!

you know the drill..

and so on
