Episode 13; Haku's Secret Jutsu: Demonic Ice Mirrors: Sasuke decides he wants a piece of Haku for the Hunter-nin trick. Zabuza gives the word, and Haku spins towards Sasuke like a tornado. Meanwhile, Gatou’s henchmen have taken Inari’s mom hostage. They threaten to kill the kid, but she vows to bite her tongue off and kill herself if they touch the boy. They grab the mom as Inari sits helpless, pitying himself. Then he remembers Naruto’s words and then his father’s. He wipes his tears away and vows to become stronger. Inari yells to the men to get away from his mom. He runs at them, as they draw their swords. At the bridge, Haku and Sasuke are going at it. Haku claims that he already has two advantages over Sasuke. The first is the water on the ground and the second is that he has occupied one of Sasuke’s hands. With one hand, Haku performs his Secret Jutsu: Flying Water Needles and stomps in the nearby puddle. The splash becomes needles, and Sasuke remembers his training to release his chakra. At Tazumi’s home, Naruto shows up just in time to perform Kawarimi no Jutsu. He switches places with a log and rescues Inari and his mom. He knew the samurai were headed this way because of the cut up boar in the forest and several slash marks on nearby trees. When the henchmen try to attack Naruto, he easily knocks them out. Naruto and Inari then have a bonding moment and laugh together. As Haku attacks, Sasuke is able to dodge the moves, and ends up behind. The two go at it until Sasuke gets a swift kick in. He has won the race for speed. After tying the henchmen up, Naruto apologizes to Inari for calling him a sissy. Inari starts to cry, and Naruto tells him that it’s all right to cry... when you’re happy. He then smiles and asks if he can count on the kid from here on out so he can head over to the bridge. Haku suddenly starts emitting a chilling vibe and performs Secret Jutsu: Demonic Ice Mirrors. Several ice mirrors surround Sasuke. Haku then enters a mirror and appears in each of the ice mirrors. Kakashi runs to help Sasuke, but Zabuza steps in front to block his path. Sasuke is left alone in the mirror prison as he rapidly gets cut repeatedly. Sakura then runs and throws Sasuke back his dagger, but Haku catches it. Luckily, Naruto comes to the rescue and hits Haku out of his Jutsu. Episode 14; Number 1 In Surprising People, Naruto Joins The Battle: The Hidden Village of Konoha has trained many good ninjas. Enter Naruto, number one troublemaker. His favorite technique is Sexy no Jutsu. He is also the Nine-Tails Demon Fox who brought the Hidden Village of Konoha to the brink of destruction. That Nine-Tails Demon Fox is sealed inside him. As a result, all the villagers are afraid of him. One day, Naruto graduated ninja school and joined a three ninja team with Sasuke and Sakura which is guided by Kakashi. One day, the three ninjas left the village to accompany bridge builder, Tazuna, to the Country of Wave. Unfortunately, a man named Gatou sent an assassin after Tazuna, giving the team some trouble. But through their teamwork, they got through the assassination attempt and managed to defeat Zabuza. A Hunter-nin finished off Zabuza and took his corpse, but the boy was really one of Zabuza’s allies and nursed him back to health. Sensing that Zabuza was still alive, Kakashi trained his young ninja’s hard so that when they meet again, they will be ready. Naruto enters the game making an elaborate show but rescuing Sasuke in the process. Haku recognizes him as the boy he talked to earlier that morning, and as Zabuza attacks with several ninja stars, Haku throws several needles to counter the attack. Kakashi reprimands Naruto for not being more deceptive and surprising the enemy. By appearing in front of the enemy, he only sets himself up as a wide open target. Haku asks Zabuka to finish the fight his way. Zabuka agrees but tells him he’s going too easily on the enemy. Kakashi is ready to step in, but if he leaves, Tazuna will die. So the battle begins... Naruto is pissed that Haku deceived them as a Hunter-nin. Haku refers to Kakashi when he repeats that duty of a ninja is to deceive and find an unguarded spot. He tells Naruto not to take it personally. Sasuke uses this opportunity to throw his shuriken at Haku, but he dodges it easily. Haku then decides to finish Sasuke first and re-enters the mirror. Sasuke still can’t figure out the mirror technique and soon is caught in the crossfire again. Both Sasuke and Kakashi think that if Sasuke can attack from the inside while Naruto attacks from the outside, they might break the technique, but much to their dismay, Naruto enters the mirrors. Sasuke then has no choice but to use his fire technique: Blazing Fireballs, but it doesn’t melt the mirrors. Haku attacks both the boys, which just frustrates Naruto, so he decides to use his shadow replication jutsu to go after all the mirrors. Haku destroys all the clones and explains that it is a traveling technique that utilizes mirror reflections that only reflect him. Kakashi explains that it’s just a Bloodline Limit technique, similar to his Sharingan. There are some techniques that are only passed through genetics, so even he can’t copy that technique. Naruto flips out and screams that he still has a dream. Haku flashes back to himself as a kid on the bridge when Zabuza befriended him. He then tells the boys that he doesn’t want to kill them, but if they are going to fight him, he has no choice. This bridge is a battleground for several people’s dreams. Haku will protect Zabuza to help him achieve his dreams. |
