"Naruto, we are going to the bridge. What is so urgent that you can't come?" asked Kakashi.
"Please sensei, I will come, but I need to do something important first," said Naruto as he ran towards a thick part of the forest.
"Well, we can do nothing but to agree," said Kakashi as he and the others continued towards the bridge.
When they reached the bridge, they saw all of the workers knocked out on the ground.
"He is here. Sakura, Shino and Kiba, manji to protect Tazuna. Hinata and Sasuke, team up," said Kakashi.
"Ah, here they are," said Zabuza as he appeared in front of them, along with the same masked ninja.
"You must be Haku Yuki, the last of the Yuki clan. Naruto had great fun talking to you yesterday," said Sasuke.
"He... he recognized me?" asked Haku.
"Yes. He also asked me not to kill you if possible," said Sasuke.
"Really?" asked Kakashi, shocked.
"Yes. He also told me some things to verify. I have kind of guessed where he is going," said Sasuke.
"Where?" asked Kakashi.
"Not my place to tell," said Sasuke.
"Haku, you take on the kids, while I deal with the sensei," said Zabuza.
"Don't forget one of the sensei is the teacher of the kids who kicked your ass," said Sasuke.
"Well the strongest one is not here," said Zabuza.
"Stay behind, use your gentle fist when you see the chance, and block off his chakra points, while I engage him," said Sasuke to Hinata.
Sasuke and Haku then engaged each other, while Hinata analyzed the battle.
"What do you fight for?" asked Haku.
"I fight for my friend, my village, and those who can't defend themselves. What about you?" replied Sasuke.
"Zabuza sama, he gave me a meaning when I didn't have the will to live," said Haku.
"Isn't he great?" asked Zabuza.
"How did he become so good?" asked Kakashi, astonished at the skills of Haku.
"Because he is not a shinobi. He isn't an emotionless tool, he is my partner," said Zabuza. "And I won't let him die."
"I never expected something like this from you," said Kakashi.
"I don't do what I am doing because of pleasure, I do it because I need money," said Zabuza, as he engaged Kakashi.

Naruto was running when he saw a killed boar. He went to investigate and saw that all around him was the marks of a sword.
"I don't have time," muttered Naruto as he took out a scroll.
"Amaya, let's dance with them," said Naruto.

Inari was in the toilet when he heard his mother scream. When he came out, he saw two people with a sword.
"Inari, run!" yelled his mother.
"Should we take him too?" asked one of them.
"No, one hostage is enough," said the other.
