109
With Kakashi free, the fight between him and Zabuza resumes. Kakashi decides to show Zabuza what the Sharingan is really capable of. Can Kakashi's Sharingan defeat Zabuza? And who is the mysterious person watching the fight?
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Sakura shocked by the unfolding scene, Naruto takes it upon himself to take the lead. He performs the Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone Jutsu) and attacks. Zabuza's 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 shuriken 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 standoff 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 perform 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 performs 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 cannot 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 nowhere, 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 their 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 mood is lightened by Tazuna's cheerful words and the group starts to head out, Kakashi passes out.
Kakashi is freed from his prison!!!!!!!!!!! hide show
Naruto's plan works and he is able to get Kakashi released from the water prison that Zabuza had him in. Kakashi and Zabuza then face off. Anything Zabuza does, Kakashi also does the same. It seems like a standoff until Kakashi beats Zabuza by doing a water attack jutsu before Zabuza can do the same thing. Zabuza is knocked into a tree. Before Kakashi can do anything else, Zabuza is hit by two needles in the neck by a mysterious ninja named Haku. Zabuza falls lifeless to the ground. Haku says that he was sent to hunt down Zabuza and eliminate him.
Hatake Kakashi Shows Sharingan. hide show
Kakashi totally shows Zabuza up. But wow, that is a ton of hand signs and fast. I think the hand signs took too much time out of the episode, to be perfectally honest. Sakura also didn't get that much action in this episode. Oh well. At the end we get the first appearance of Haku, who totally pretends to kill Zabuza. Only Kakashi realizes it was fake. I didn't get the ending, it was so out of character for Naruto to be so frustrated and everything and just completely lose confidence in himself and everything. I know that you are getting tired of me saying this (if you have been reading my reviews lately), but again, anoter good episode.
Kakashi make Zabuza look like a idiot doing the same moves as Zabuza at the same time. It was really cool to be able to control the water and shape it into a dragon.
Sure made Zabuza lose his mind when he was freaking when Kakashi was able to pull the advance jutsu before he could do his. Quite a water experience, blasting through the tress.
At the end, a guy with the mask came in and killed Zabuza before Kakashi was able to. But is this really the end of Zabuza or will there be another fight a later on as I think the guy with the mask is up to something.
Kakashi and Zabuza fight. Haku takes Zabuza after he loses. hide show
This episode was very informative because it explained how the trap that Naruto had planed worked. Naruto explained and started being annoying by acting so high and mighty. He acted as if he was the only one who had helped carry out the plan. Sasuke helped too but Naruto didn't have a of noticing that Sasuke wasn't gloating. Zabuza seems to be defeated by a hunter-nin who is really working for Zabuza. When it was figured out that the hunter-nin was working for Zabuza I felt that there was no surprise in that because there are so many tricks to the mission. Kakashi collapses because of using his sharingan that is covered by his fore head protector. At the moment I thought that Kakashi would need much rest because it seemed as if he had worked so hard to defeat the Jonin.
