SDK Chapter 208 "Unchanging Colors" Note: If you didn't know, Shindara's real name is Sasuke, and that's what he's called in the flashbacks, but I'm just leaving him as Shindara through the entire translation to avoid confusion. XD 1 Yukimura: Whoa, this is a great view... Shindara: Is that so, Yukimura-sama? Yukimura: You know, I think that if everybody took some time out to look at the sky like this, there wouldn't be any wars. Yukimura: With just this, and maybe a couple of snacks and something to drink, I think I could be happy forever. (And maybe a cute girl, too...) Shindara: If all the warlords in the country were more like you, Yukimura-sama... I think we would avoid a lot of suffering. ...But this is a pointless conversation... Yukimura: It's not pointless. I'll show you... I'll make this world a better place... Yukimura: I'll show everyone... Yukimura: I'll show them a world where they can live in peace and happiness... 2 Girls: Kyaa!! Girl 1: The wind is really strong here! Girl 2: Let's go home! Yukimura: This really is a great view... Shindara: Yukimura-sama... Yukimura: Oh come on~ *heart* That's why I've decided to save the world - would girls run away from a hero? Hell no! I'd be super-popular with the ladies!! Shindara: ...I think you've had too much to drink, Yukimura-sama. Yukimura: No way, how could I possibly drink too much. WHAT?! It's empty!! Shindara: I, Sasuke, believe in you... Shindara: If it's you, Yukimura-sama... then it's going to be an amazing world... Yukimura: Sasuke... 3 Yukimura: ...I can't do it alone. I'm going to need you - you and the rest of the Juuyuushi, of course. Yukimura: Think you can lend me a hand? Shindara: You know where my heart lies... Shindara: [Yukimura-sama...] Shindara: [Please, take this world into your hands...] Shindara: [I, Sarutobi Sasuke, will always be at your side...] 4 Shindara: My name is now Shindara the Undying... and there is no way for your sword to defeat me. Text: Chapter 208 - Unchanging Colors Shindara: ...Don't bother throwing away your own life. Bon: Wh.. What the fuck!? I swear I just saw Yukimura's sword go through that guy!! But... there's not a scratch on him!! 5 Yukimura: Hmm? Nice tatoos, by the way. But really, what kind of trick do you think will stop my sword? Shindara: Your sword just went right through my body... You should know that my body is no longer human. Yukimura: That's... interesting... Yukimura: Let's see it again!! Yukimura: What!? 6 Bon: Wh... Bon: His cut just closed up!? Yukimura: ... Shindara: I told you... my name is Shindara the Undying... Shindara: In order to obtain physical regeneration beyond human limits, I gave up my body and soul to the Taishirou... I let them perform their experiments on me to recieve "Shikai Onjuu", the power of unlimited regeneration... Shindara: This body I have now has been treated several times by Saishi of the Goyousei to have a massively accelerated rate of healing. Shindara: "Sarutobi Sasuke" is no more... I am more than human. I am the master of death. I am Shindara the Undying. Yukimura: ...I see you still carry the sword of a ninja. Have you really sold your soul to those demons? Shindara: ...Do not speak of what you do not understand... 7 Shindara: The Taishirou are not demons - they're gods!! Yukimura: Shit... Saizou: Yukimura-sama!! Bon: Huh?! He's controlling fire and water at the same time... is he some kind of new Goyousei?! Saizou: As a master ninja, Sasuke had power over earth, fire, air and water... but this looks like he's controlling the laws of nature itself!! Yukimura: Ah!! 8 no text 9 Bon: He can do illusions, too?! Saizou: Those aren't just illusions... Sasuke's pride was always in his ability to perform "Jikuu Hen'isou" - warping reality itself. Saizou: He can create golems with equal attack power to his own... they know no mercy or hesitation, and are designed to obliterate the enemy... Saizou: [Sasuke...] Shindara: [Do you really mean to kill Yukimura-sama?!] Yukimura: Gah! 10 Yukimura: Oh no... Shindara: Take this... Shindara: "Goma Shimendou!" ("Surrounding Incense Temple" - "goma" is the practice of burning cedar incense in Buddhist ceremonies. Don't you just love the attack names in SDK? o_o) 11 Yukimura: AHHHHHHHHHHH!! Saizou: Yukimura-sama!! Saizou: [Yukimura-sama...] Saizou: [Yukimura-sama... Please, tell us what we can do!!] 12 Shindara: The fortifications around our fields have been heavily damaged - if we don't do something about it, Tokugawa Ieyasu will... Shindara: If we go immediately, we may be able to assassinate Ieyasu! We Juuyuushi will sacrifice ourselves if need be! Shindara: This is for the sake of the Sanada clan - just give us the order!! Yukimura: I'm sorry, Sasuke. Yukimura: I can't let you risk your lives like that. We'll get another chance, don't worry. Shindara: No, Yukimura-sama! THIS is our chance!! If we don't act now... Please, just give me the order!! Yukimura: ...What's wrong, Sasuke? You're always so calm... Yukimura: Why are you so impatient this time? Shindara: Yukimura-sama... is it that you don't really want to take power over the country? Saizou: ...Sasuke!! Are you challenging Yukimura-sama's thoughts on this matter!? Yukimura: Sasuke!! 13 Yukimura: ...I will not run or hide from power... Yukimura: But neither will I allow you to die like dogs for the sake of it. Shindara: ...Yukimura-sama, I understand your feelings, but... Shindara: ...I have feelings too... Shindara: Forgive my rudeness...!! Kosuke: Sasuke!! Saizou: Sasuke, wait!! Saizou: Yukimura-sama!! Yukimura: ...Let him go. Yukimura: It's alright... Yukimura: ...He'll come back as soon as he gets a chance to cool his head. Yukimura: [He'll come back...] 14 Yukimura: Gah...!! Yukimura: [...Sasuke...] Yukimura: ...!! Saizou: Y... Saizou: Yukimura-sama!! 15 Shindara: Why...? Shindara: Why will you not fight me seriously...? Bon: ...huh? Kyo: ... Shindara: I know you're stonger than this... so why are you holding back!? Shindara: Why won't you use your power? Shindara: Why...? Saizou: .... Shindara: What could you possibly be thinking right now? 16 Yukimura: It's because I still believe in you... 17 Yukimura: Sasuke... Shindara: ...What!? 18 Yukimura: Just like old times... I still beleive in you. Yukimura: That's why... Saizou: Yukimura-sama... Shindara: What the... Shindara: You idiot... Shindara: People change. Things change. For your heart to remain the same... is unbelievable. Yukimura: No, they don't change... Yukimura: Or at least people can't change so completely... I haven't changed... Yukimura: Just like a cloth that has been dyed some color will always be that color, the color of a person's heart cannot be changed. That gives me hope. 19 Yukimura: Sasuke... I know you haven't changed... Yukimura: We're still going to change the world together... nothing has changed... Yukimura: Right...? Yukimura: Sasuke... Shindara: [Yukimura-sama... please take this world into your hands...] Shindara: [I, Sarutobi Sasuke, will always be at your side...] 20 Saizou: ..What!? 21 Shindara: You're as soft as ever... Shindara: People change!! Shindara: Your weak words are nothing but shit... Shindara: But that's alright... I will show you just how much a person can change... Shindara: Make your peace with the world now... 22 Saizou: Y... Saizou: YUKIMURA-SAMA!!
