Dozens of Naruto's Shadow Clones shouted in unison, creating a powerful atmosphere.
Another combination jutsu was unleashed, with dozens of whirlwinds wrapped in water, forming a high-speed, spinning torrent that launched straight toward Zabuza's water clone.
Zabuza's face showed surprise; this yellow-haired kid wasn't as simple as he seemed.
"But I'm just getting started! Geniuses are my favorite prey!" sneered Zabuza's water clone as he formed hand seals and declared, "Water Style: Water Barrier!"
Instantly, a water wall formed, blocking Naruto's combined Uzumaki Torrent jutsu.
Naruto showed no surprise; his goal was to use the jutsu to obscure Zabuza's vision. As the Water Barrier dissipated, ten Shadow Clones had already used the Earth Style: Hiding Like a Mole Technique to sneak underground, bypassing Zabuza's water clone. They emerged from behind, hurling ten Fuma Shuriken straight at him.
"Damn it!" Zabuza cursed, his face darkening as he saw the shuriken flying toward him. He blocked two with his massive blade, sneering, "Is this all Konoha can offer? You can't even throw properly!"
But suddenly, eight voices rang out behind him in unison, "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
Turning, Zabuza saw that the eight Fuma Shuriken were actually more of Naruto's clones, each launching a whirlwind attack at him. Forced to release his hold on Naruto and jump back, he barely avoided the combined assault.
"Well done, Naruto!" Kakashi said, impressed by Naruto's creative use of jutsu, and regretting he hadn't mentored him more seriously.
With his Shadow Clones and Sasuke's help, Naruto disrupted Zabuza enough to allow Kakashi to escape and counterattack, unleashing the true potential of his Sharingan in the fight.
Zabuza attempted to use his specialty, the Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu, but Kakashi copied it instantly. Two massive water dragons clashed in midair before vanishing.
Afterward, Zabuza tried another water-based jutsu, but Kakashi continued to mirror his every move and even his words, pushing Zabuza to the brink. His mind started to crack under the pressure, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he realized Kakashi was besting him with his own techniques.
"Impossible! He's using my jutsu faster than I can!" thought Zabuza, his shock overwhelming him. The Great Waterfall Jutsu from Kakashi struck, and Zabuza was thrown back, collapsing, unable to stand.
As Kakashi prepared to finish him off, two senbon needles flew from the side, striking Zabuza's neck, and he dropped, seemingly lifeless.
Everyone turned to see a masked figure standing on a nearby tree branch — Haku, who had been lurking in the background.
Haku, acting as a tracker ninja, thanked Kakashi for dealing with Zabuza and moved to retrieve the "body."
Kakashi, sensing no immediate threat, allowed Haku to take the corpse to avoid potential conflict with the Hidden Mist.
But Naruto wasn't convinced. When Haku reached for the body, Naruto suddenly threw two kunai toward Zabuza. Haku deflected them with senbon.
"Hey, you with the mask," Naruto said with a smirk, "I was aiming at Zabuza, not you. You're supposed to be a tracker ninja, so why interfere?"
Kakashi, noticing the tension, began eyeing Haku with renewed caution, realizing something was amiss.
