Back in the Wave Country, Inari goes around trying to gather people to fight against Gatou. He approaches his neighbour, Mr Giichi but Giichi denies him help. Giichi's wife then says that it's possible that Inari is more of a man that Giichi is. Inari has realized the will to fight that both Naruto and his father possesses and Naruto's advice of never to give up. Inari keeps going to other houses and try to get help. Sensing the danger Zabuza is in, Haku continuously taunt Naruto to kill him. Naruto finally draws his kunai and charge at Haku but was deflected and knock off. Haku then teleport in front of Zabuza taking the hit from Kakashi's Chidori, Zabuza smiles. Inari puts on some armour and prepares to go to the bridge alone. Although his mother tried to stop him, he replied that he must protect what he loves and that the village is theirs. Back on the bridge, the mist slowly clears away and Naruto sees that Haku has been deeply wounded by the attack from Kakashi. Haku is dead and Zabuza takes the opportunity to attack Kakashi but Kakashi manage to leap away carrying Haku. Sakura sees Naruto on the far side of the bridge and asks about Sasuke but Naruto in tears was unable to reply. Tazuna and Sasuke ran past Naruto who wasn't even able to give eye contact. Sakura sees Sasuke's lifeless body on the floor and cries. Sakura recites one of the rules of being a shinobi that a shinobi must never let his or her own feelings overcome them. Zabuza and Kakashi continue to fight but Zabuza was unable to keep up as the mist has cleared and Kakashi has the upper hand now. Just then, Gatou and his men emerge on the bridge.
