Panel 2, Sakura, Right:
Quickly... The antidote...
Panel 2, Sakura, Left:
Chiyo-baasama...
Panel 3, Sasori, Top:
Oh-ho... Concerned for others even when there's a sword in your stomach?
Panel 3, Sasori, Bottom:
You're some girl...
Panel 4, Sakura:
Guh...
Page 4-
Panel 1, Sasori:
This girl...
Panel 2, Sasori, Right:
Even while impaled on a katana, she's already inducing hemostasis to recover...
Panel 2, Sasori, Left:
...Aren't you the clever one.
Panel 5, Sakura:
Ugh...!

Panel 1, Sasori:
Looks like the poison is starting to take its toll... Of course, since this katana is poisoned as well.
Panel 2, Sakura, Right:
The poison is numbing my body...
Panel 2, Sakura, Left:
I can't control chakra well anymore...
Page 7-
Panel 1, Sasori:
Did she just...
Panel 2, Sakura:
...B-but why!?
Panel 5, Sakura:
Guh...!

Panel 1, Sakura:
I won't let go...
Panel 4, Sakura:
Chiyo-baasama!
Page 11-12-
Panel 2, Chiyo:
Haa haa... (panting)

Panel 1, Chiyo:
In the end,your mind was distracted... Sasori...
Panel 3, Chiyo, Right:
You're not going anywhere like this...
Panel 3, Chiyo, Left:
They've got you.
Panel 4, Chiyo:
No matter how many puppet bodies you have... If you intend to use chakra, part of you must still be flesh.
Panel 5, Chiyo, Right:
That's your weakness...
Panel 5, Chiyo, Left:
That's why only that part from the left chest of that shell... Was cut out exactly the same way...
Page 14-
Panel 1, Chiyo, Right:
In the end, a mechanical body is just a normal puppet...
Panel 1, Chiyo, Left:
Your true form is that plug in your chest that produces chakra.
Panel 2, Sasori:
Heh...
Panel 5, Sakura:
Guh!
Page 15-
Panel 1, Chiyo:
Sakura!
Panel 4, Chiyo, Right:
Right now, I've got to close up her wounds and...
Panel 4, Chiyo, Left:
Remove this katana...
Page 16-
Panel 1, Sakura:
Guh...
Panel 2, Chiyo:
Hang in there... Just a little more...
Panel 4, Sasori, Right:
It's useless... I struck a vital point.
Panel 4, Sasori, Left:
Even if you remove the poison, she's still going to die. The blood loss is too extreme.
Panel 5, Sasori:
Since you're a medical ninja... You should know you can't have a simple operation here.
Page 17-
Panel 1, Chiyo, Right:
Hm... When it comes to medical ninjutsu, it's already too late for emergency first aid.
Panel 1, Chiyo, Left:
What I'm doing right now isn't medical ninjutsu at all.
Panel 3, Chiyo, Right:
I'm giving her my own life force...
Panel 3, Chiyo, Left:
This is Tensei Ninjutsu. ("tensei" = "reincarnation")
Page 18-
Panel 1, Chiyo:
To begin with, this is... A jutsu only I know, worked out over the course of many years for your sake...
Panel 4, Chiyo:
If I had this jutsu, I could even breathe life into a puppet...
Page 19-
Panel 1, Chiyo:
The life of one who uses this jutsu is exhausted in exchange...
Page 20-
Panel 3, Chiyo:
But now... Even now, there's still an unfulfilled dream...
Panel 6, Sasori:
...How stupid...
Sidebar:
The struggle over suffering is finally contained... But that life that is almost lost, that heart wracked with anguish... What will happen to Sakura and Chiyo-baa!!?
