As you all know our little Inari is growing up, and now he’s not afraid of anything. So he goes to his uncle’s house to persuade him to join in the fight at the bridge. Only thing is, the old fart is a coward, and won’t even open the damn door.
“Don’t worry Inari, if you end up going alone, I’m sure Naruto will have your back.” Okay, now let’s get back to the bridge. Kakashi is owning Zabuza right now, and is about to use his new and improved lighting blade jutsu to end this once and for all.
Good, ’cause I can’t wait to get to the next episode. Now after this interesting conversation that goes on between Haku and Naruto, he pleads with Naruto to kill him, after all, he failed in his mission, and is now of no use to Zabuza, so why stick around?
Naruto is hesitant at first, and says that if they met under different circumstances, they could have been friends. Who knows, maybe if Haku would have kept that pink dress on, and didn’t tell Naruto he was a boy, they could have gone out on a date, and none of this would be happening.
But unfortunately it is happening, and we have to learn to live with it. Haku sensing that Zabuza is in danger, escapes Naruto’s final blow, to shield him from being struck down by Kakashi’s awesome attack.
I’d like to tell you what happens next, but I have to switch back to Inari for a second. Since no one will come with him to the bridge, he suits up rambo style, and decides to go on his own. You know, I really like this kid now, he’s all right. Mom doesn’t want him to go, but who gives a damn about what she wants, he’s going anyway. However, Inari is in for a big surprise when he steps outside his front door.
I’d like to tell you who’s there to greet him, but I have to get back to the bridge before I miss out on any of the action. Haku just took a fatal blow that was meant for Zabuza,who doesn’t even care. He even tries to slice through Haku to get to Kakashi, who quickly moves out of the way with Haku’s body.
Oh wait, we forgot about Sasuke who’s dead as a doornail. Take a good look at this picture, don’t you love how Sakura just flies right past Naruto to get to Sasuke? I’m telling you, she’s a real piece of work. She doesn’t even ask, “Naruto, are you okay? What happened to you? Did you kick Haku’s ass, ’cause if you did, I need all the juicy details.”
So now we have a real dramatic scene with Sakura crying all over Sasuke like the simpering idiot that she is. Doesn’t she understand that he would never cry over her like that?
After Sakura wastes my valuable viewing time with her ridiculous act, we can get back to Zabuza, who’s a complete mess right now. Every time he tries to get a lick in, Kaksashi knocks him on his butt, now both of his arms are broken.
To make things worst, Gato shows up with an army of goons to continue the fight. With Zabuza all jacked up, Kakashi out of chakra, Sasuke and Haku dead, Naruto devastated and Sakura (who can’t do anything anyway), in mourning, who’s gonna fight these guys?

This is one of my favorite episodes of Naruto, and it didn’t drag on for a long time like the later arcs in the series. Zabuza is the only villain I like’ the others are annoying and overrated.. lol.

Naruto is a series that I haven’t seen to the end, so I really can’t wait to check out these other villians. Maybe they really can’t compare to Zabuza, but I’m anxious to find out!

Yes, it was dramatic, I just think they spent way too much time on Haku’s death.
