Remember Naruto's awesome feint? Good! His thrown knife wasn't meant for Zabuza, it was meant to free Kakashi. Glad to see the kids displaying some common sense! Zubochi's about to hurl Sasuke's shuriken back at Naruto, but Kakashi blocks it [i]bare-handed[/i] and looks all kinds of pissed. Naruto gets due props, and we get unncessary recaps on why. Kakashi's lesson teamwork has maybe hit home? At any rate, he tells Zubochi that the same schtick won't work twice on him, because Kakashi is a badass. Zubochi tries to grind the shuriken into Kakashi's hand, until the latter backhands it away.
It's Sharingan time! Kakashi starts copying Zabuza's new stunt, it's a doozy. [i]Summoning water dragons[/i]. Sidebar: I think I saw Kakashi do this stunt in the third [i]Naruto[/i] movie. The kids don't know what's going on, as Kakashi and Zubochi struggle 'neath their aqua-dragons. A masked figure looks on as we go into a break. Everybody's gawking at the Jonin struggle, and Zubuza's about to lose his damn mind at the fact Kakashi can literally match him move for move. It turns out that Kakashi's reading Zubochi's mind, and that would explain it. Kakashi's crazy eye spins, and we get a Water Vortex Jutsu that Zubochi knew but didn't get a chance to use yet. Genius! Zabuza goes through the spin cycle for a while, until he and Naruto wind up on shore, severely water-logged. Kakashi pins him to the tree with some kunai, and is about ready to end him, when some thrown needles do the job before Kakashi can. A chick in a mask is apparently the culprit. Kakashi makes sure he's dead, and identifies his slayer as a Tracker Ninja from Mist Village. Naruto has no idea what a Tracker Ninja is, but Sakura is hip. The Tracker Ninjas do exactly what you'd expect, and Kakashi lets me know that's a boy. Uh-huh.
Naruto starts flipping out. At first I thought it was because sh... he killed Zabuza, but instead what winds the kid up is the fey Tracker Ninja just sailing in and ending Zabuza so easy when they had such a hard time. Tracker Ninja thanks them again, then whirlwinds away with the rogue ninja's corpse. Naruto's really upset, but Kakashi tells him if he doesn't want it to happen again, then use that frustration. Kakashi takes about five steps before face-planting, because apparently Sharingan costs serious END to use. I'm going to take Kakashi's reference about their being kids younger than Naruto and stronger than Kakashi as [i]foreshadowing[/i].
