The smoke disappears.

Naruto: Now that We've come, you're all right!

Tazuna: Oh...

Sakura: Kyllian! Naruto!

Naruto: The hero of a story generally appears in this kind of situation and takes out the enemy in no time!

Kyllian: Naruto, you said you'd not do the hero line.

Zabuza: Heh... Those two brats, eh...

Sasuke: He's long on talk...

Kakashi's Mind: Man, that idiot! Making such a conspicuous entrance... There's no point if you don't catch the enemy off guard! And why is Kyllian here.

Haku looks at them both.

Haku: Those boys...

Naruto: All right, here I go!
Shadow Clone Jutsu...

Naruto puts his finger on top of each other to make an "+.

Kakashi gets stunned and worried.

Kakashi: Huh?!

Zabuza throws shurikens at Naruto.

Kakashi: Get out of the way, Naruto!

Kyllian: Naruto!

Sakura/Tazuna/Sasuke/Kakashi: Woah!

Zabuza looks confused.

Zabuza: What!?

you avoid the eyes of your opponents, catch them off balance, and outsmart them...

Kakashi: The way you made your entrance earlier, that's just you coming to be a target...

Naruto: N-Nooo. But I went to the trouble of coming to the rescue.

Kakashi's Mind: What concerns me more than that is...

Sasuke, who is still lying on the ground, looks at Haku

Sasuke's Mind: That guy...

Zabuza: Haku... What's the idea?

Haku stands up.

Haku: Zabuza, leave these two kids to me... Please let me fight this battle my way.

Naruto: What did you say!?

Haku and Kyllian, and Naruto are all staring intensely.

Zabuza: So you mean no interfering... Haku? You're naive... as usual...

Haku: I'm sorry...

Sasuke looks back up at him

Sasuke's Mind: Naive, eh... True enough... Judging from these wounds, there's no mistaking that
I was attacked with a Senbon. But no vital areas have been targeted so far. Does he mean to half kill me?

Naruto: If so! As for me, I'll take you out first, so!

Kakashi's Mind: It's impossible. It's too much for Naruto! Perhaps Kyllian might, though. I should be the one to...
