[edit] Plot
As the episode begins, the fight on the bridge continues. Kakashi and Zabuza finally face off while Sakura eggs Sasuke and Naruto on. Kakashi warns Sakura against this, stating that even if they manage to defeat Haku’s technique, they wouldn’t have the heart to kill him off. Sakura screams in her frustration while Kakashi decides to end the fight with his Sharingan. Just as Kakashi was preparing to strike, Zabuza makes a pre-emptive attack and attempts to stab Kakashi in his eye. Kakashi manages to barely avoid a direct hit but still sustains an injury. Zabuza then explains to Kakashi that all of Haku’s techniques were taught by him (Zabuza) and that Haku’s ability surpass even his own. In the mirror, Naruto continues his attack on Haku with Naruto replicas again and again while Sasuke follows Haku's movements to learn his pattern of attack. He then attempts to disrupt Haku’s movements by kicking in some water. Meanwhile, Zabuza tells Kakashi that this battle won’t be the same as the previous one, the reason for this being that he had Haku observing Kakashi’s Sharingan and has analysed all of his (Kakashi's) techniques. Zabuza then says that the Sharingan doesn’t see the future but instead uses Genjutsu on the opponent to hypnotizes them and by not making eye contact, the Sharingan is rendered useless. Putting words to action, he then increases the thickness of the mist and tells Kakashi that he’s called the "Silent Killer" for the reason that he’s capable of killing by sound alone. Sasuke tells Naruto to get outside, at the request of his teammate, Naruto charges for the exit. Seeing this, Haku tries to stop Naruto from leaving, which Sasuke tries to counter by throwing a fireball at Haku to impede his attempt but misses and Naruto is thrown back. Haku then decides to attack Sasuke. Back outside, in the heavy blanket of mist, Kakashi is unable to see anything and tries to predict what Zabuza will do. He comes to a sudden realization that Zabuza will attack Tazuna and dashes to toward him. The episode ends with blood splattering.
