"Your right, I am a useless tool," haku said with sorrow.

"Please kill me,"

"No I won't, your still my friend," Naruto stated loudly.

"All my life I've seeked a meaning in life, a meaning for existence, and then zabuza found me. I knew you had to go back to your village eventually, so I went with him," haku replied with bitterness.

"You know, I could have never went back, you were my first friend, that is way more important than that village who resents me..." Naruto shouted back with his voice fading off.

"I thought you out of all people would understand, you understand me, don't you? Not having a dream, not being needed by anyone, the pain of merely being alive."

"I understand but you know what's worse? For someone who started in hell to only be stuck there, held down by the chains of society."

"Your talking about yourself aren't you?" Sakura's whispered to herself listening to everything. Haku's thoughts said the same.

"I'm not talking just about myself," Naruto stated to Sakura and haku.

This left both of them in confusion. Who else could he be talking about?

"I'm talking about this very village," Naruto explained, "This land is poor but they're doing something about it, this bridge is what's going to save them yet people like zabuza bring them down, back into the hell they've been living."

"I- that I understand but my dream, is zabuza's dream," haku stuttered.

"Your life only has meaning through the lives of other people, you say," Naruto said repeating something haku once said, "well you've got me!"

"I- I'm-"

"You are haku," Naruto said with pride, "This world isn't use or be used, this world isn't just about fighting, it's about love too."

"Love... but no one-"

"Do I have to make myself clear, I'm pretty sure jiji would welcome you into the leaf village has well!" Naruto said grinning.

Haku staring into that smile. Most of it was genuine but, a little too selfless. Naruto was smiling for haku, completely for haku.

"I will-" haku started before glancing into the direction of the fading mist, "no" was all he said.

The crackling noise of electricity denting the floor of the bridge. His hand shaking from overwhelming power. Kakashi stood tall with a chidori harshly whistling into the mist.

The jonin dashed towards the restrained zabuza ready to deliver the final blow. His lightning blade impaled his chest splattering blood all over.

"Huh?" Zabuza looked up not feeling anything, "haku?"

Kakashi widening his eyes, that boy fighting sasuke, had just appeared in front of him shielding zabuza. A gaping hole in his right lung haku stood there lifeless.
