Sakura shocked by the unfolding scene, Naruto takes it upon himself to
take the lead. He preforms the Kage Bunshin and attacks. Zabuzas power
easily overwhelms Naruto but with Sasuke in the clear, Naruto throws a
Fuuma Shuriken and Sasuke does the Shadow Windmill technique in the
hopes of a direct hit. Just before impact, the flying blade zooms past
the clone on a collision course with the real Zabuza. Zabuza catches it
with his free hand but not understanding the technique, the second
blade comes right at him. Zabuza laughs and leaps over this second
attack, but is shaken by a sudden vision from behind. To his amazement,
Naruto appears, and throws a kunai straight at Zabuza.
Having
no other choice but to move out of the way, Zabuza pulls his hand from
Kakashi's watery prison. But as he dodges, the kunai nicks his face and
goes through the clone. Angry by such an action, Zabuza proceeds to
spin the shurikan he caught and throw it back at the now open Naruto.
But right before the blade takes flight, blood fills the air. Kakashi
stands before Zabuza with his hand raised stopping the once spinning
blade. Kakashi praises the boys on a job well done and taunts Zabuza
for being beaten by kids. Naruto then proceeds to tell of the plan that
was devised to use himself as a Fuuma Shuriken and let Sasuke toss him
at the enemy to insure the freedom of their teacher.
Kakashi
and Zabuza now have a stand off and then both split off and land away
from each other. Zabuza begins a series of hand seals, which are:
Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Rat, Boar, Bird, Ox, Horse, Bird, Tiger, Dog,
Tiger, Snake, Ox, Sheep, Snake, Pig, Sheep, Ox, Monkey, Bird, Dragon,
Ox, Horse, Sheep, Tiger, Snake, Rat, Ox, Monkey, Bird, Rat, Boar,
Monkey, Dragon, Bird, Ox, Horse, Sheep, Tiger, Snake, Rat, Monkey,
Rabbit, Boar, Dragon, Ox, Rat, Ox, Monkey, Bird, Rat, Boar, Bird,
with quick reflexes, Kakashi is copying every word and movement that
Zabuza is doing. They both preform the Water Dragon Jutsu at the same
time, Two giant Water Dragons (as the name suggest) appear and
intertwine with one another. The attacks clash and there is a great
explosion of water, as the four look on they see the two battling
figures in a dead lock. Just as Zabuza is trying to figure out what is
going on, a lone masked figure appears unnoticed by the fighters or the
onlookers. Breaking the deadlock, the two encircle each other only to
do the same action. Kakashi even goes as far as to finish his
sentences, now having Zabuza firmly in disillusion, Kakashi preforms a
genjutsu that shows Zabuza a mirror image of himself. With Zabuza's
confidence broken, Kakashi does the Water Style - Water Vortex jutsu.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Zabuza is blown away in the
ensuing torrent and is washed away through the forest. Zabuza can not
figure out how Kakashi is doing it "He knows my moves before I do".
Struggling within the current, Zabuza tries to escape but in the effort
is washed up against a tree and then struck in the arms and legs by
Kakashi's kunai. Left with no other choice other than death, Kakashi
prepares to deal the final blow. Then out of no where, 2 needle like
darts rip into the side of Zabuza's neck. As he falls, the others look
to see where the attack came from. Seeing that it came from the now
visible masked assailant, Kakashi jumps down and inspects the newly
dead corpse. He reveals that the masked individual is a hunter ninja
from the Hidden Mist Village.
Faced
with the death of this fierce opponent, Naruto prepares to attack the
masked ninja. Halted by Kakashi for his rush to conclusions, frustrated
by the fact the masked ninja is just a kid like them and yet did what
they could not, takes its toll on Naruto. Kakashi comforts him and then
the masked ninja then says that he will dispose of the body and that
there is no other need for there help. Naruto, having lost all
confidence in himself, begins to beat the ground in frustration.
Kakashi tells Naruto to do better next time, and just as the the mood
is lightened by Tazuna's cheerful words and the group starts to head
out, Kakashi passes out.
