From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White Past: Hidden Ambition (Japanese: 白い過去・秘めた想い, - Shiroi Kako - Himeta omoi) is episode 17 of the anime series Naruto. The episode's storyline is from the Land of Waves manga arc.
Naruto takes out his rage with Kyubi's chakra for killing his rival/friend Sasuke on Haku, and he doesn't stand a chance. However, just before the finishing blow he can't hit him. Naruto realizes that Haku is the boy he met back at the forest. Haku tells Naruto the story of his past and how he was hated because of his power. He tells Naruto that the worse thing in the world is to not have a purpose or reason to live. This becomes a recurring theme through the series. Since he is unable to kill for Zabuza's dreams, Haku sees himself as a broken tool and asks for Naruto to do one favor for him. He wants Naruto to kill him.
[edit] Trivia
- In this episode, there is a flashback to when Haku was running with a rabbit. The rabbit jumped out of his arms and into the bushes. Zabuza shows up with the rabbit. He gives the rabbit to Haku, and pats his head. A similar rabbit appears in Episode 7 whom Naruto hit with a Kunai. Kakashi notices that the rabbit's white fur indicated that it was raised indoors and must belong to someone nearby. Then soon after, Zabuza appears.
