The episode begins with some recap of how Naruto became a ninja and their journey to the Wave Country. Back where we left off in the last episode, Naruto makes an appearance and announce that he will save the day. Being a loud-mouth as usual then tries to make a seal for his Shadow Replica technique but was immediately attacked by Zabuza's shurikens. Haku seeing that knocks down the shuriken thrown by Zabuza with his needles. Kakashi yells at Naruto for being an idiot stating that even to make a simple jutsu, a ninja is suppose to confuse his opponent first. As Zabuza questions Haku about the interference, Haku requests that he have the fight his own way. Zabuza agrees but tells Haku that he's being too soft. Kakashi wants to aide his students but if he does, Zabuza will be able to kill Tazuna easily. Haku then re-enters the mirrors and attacks Sasuke. Naruto is still outside uncertain of what to do. Kakashi and Sakura think that if Sasuke was to attack from the inside and Naruto attacks from the outside, they might just be able to break Haku's technique. Sasuke has the same thoughts. Stupidly, Naruto enters the mirrors and squat beside Sasuke surprising him. Naruto states that the secret to winning a fight is the act of a surprise. Sasuke yelled at him saying that what good is that to surprise as ally? Kakashi and Sakura both dumbfounded by Naruto's act of foolishness. Kakashi tells Tazuna that's Naruto for you, he comes to help but makes the situation worse for others. Back in the mirror, Haku attacks both Sasuke and Naruto easily. Naruto furious creates replicas and attacks all the mirrors simultaneously but to no avail. Haku then explains that the mirror acts as a reflecting point to Haku and his speed is as fast as a reflection. Kakashi states that Haku's ability is a bloodline limit like the Sharingan in which case the Sharingan is unable to copy it. Haku then has a flashback of the time when he met Zabuza when he was still a small child. Haku tells Sasuke and Naruto that he doesn't want to kill them but if they fight him, he will have no choice. Haku states that he will do anything to protect Zabuza and his dreams.
