  • If I had to guess, I would say Anbu from Naruto lol. Maybe the cutoff word is ambush?

    @krikara "Ambush" looks right.

    @krikara I like Anbu, but I also think "ambush training" is correct. Please add that as an answer and I'll mark it correct. Aug 23, 2013 at 13:55
  • The original reads: "待ち伏せ…いや木登りの特訓してるので", so yeah, ambush.

  • I knew senshin would come in here deciphering the Kanji. You should put it as an answer ^^

In Japanese, the panel reads:

ありがとねぇ ジャマな枝 切ってくれて

それにしても 君達えらく 身軽だね~

いえいえ

待ち伏せ…いや 木登り特訓 してるので

The translation in the OP post is a little bit off; a better translation of the last speech bubble is "It's because we were preparing an ambu-... er, practicing climbing trees." That is, they weren't doing "ambush training"; they were just lying in wait to ambush someone. (In other words, it's not 待ち伏せの特訓 that was elided - just 待ち伏せ.)

Anyway, the word in question is ambush.
