C'mon!
Running like a fugitive,
Being chased by something
Inside my heart is pounding
My throat dry like it's withering
For no single one,
To none does belong,
This time is ours, right now...
Unraveling the pain,
Unraveling our hearts,
Unraveling shadows
Stifling our breath,
Reaching for beyond,
Tearing through the dark
In fighting and in love
To the distant light above,
Yes, we are on the way
I wanna rock...
Rockin' my heart
Is this the first time you have faced a friend's death?
This is the way of the Shinobi...
I won't forgive you...
I'm going to kill you!
White Past. Hidden Ambition
There's murder in his eyes!
He looks nothing like he used to!
He's coming!
What?
His Chakra repelled my attack!
Then...
This should do it!
Why?!
It can't be!
Could... Naruto's seal have been broken...?!
No.
This feeling...
True, the seal is almost off
and the Chakra of the Nine Tailed Fox Spirit is escaping, but...
Fortunately, the seal is not completely broken!
I still have some time!
Do you hear me, Zabuza?
We're both busy people.
I know it's against your style,
but I think it's about time we stopped playing around.
Why don't we settle this once and for all with the next move?
Interesting.
What can you possibly do in this situation?
Kakashi, go ahead. Show me.
No good...
I can't hold his aura down!
Zabuza...
I can't defeat this boy.
Zabuza...
I'm...
You... from that time...
Why?
Why stop?
Even though I killed your dear friend, you can't kill me?
Damn it!
What happened to the force from moment ago?
You can't defeat me with that kind of strength.
Wasn't he someone special to you?
Is there someone special in your life?
I want to protect someone special to me.
I want to make that person's dream a reality...
That's my dream.
Many people misunderstand.
They pity and don't finish off the enemy they ought to finish.
They let them survive.
To me, that isn't compassion or anything.
Do you know?
How it feels to not be needed by anyone?
To live day to day without a dream. The pain of it all.
What are you saying?
Zabuza has no use for a weak Shinobi.
You took away my reason for existence.
Why?
Why do you have to serve a guy like that?
He gets the money from thugs to do bad things!
Is that No Brow the only person special to you?
A long time ago, I had other people special to me.
They were... my parents.
I was born in the Land of Water, in a small village heavy with snow.
My parents worked on a small farm.
We were very poor,
but my parents seem to be satisfied with it.
I was happy then...
They were loving parents.
But...
When I was old enough to understand things,
something happened.
Something?
What happened?
My blood...
Blood?
Go on!
Tell me what happened.
My father... He killed my mother.
Then he tried to kill me.
Huh?!
After the experience of the ceaseless civil war,
people with Kekkei Genkai were hated and feared in the Land of Water.
Kekkei Genkai?
It's special powers or Jutsu passed on through certain clans,
from parent to child, or from grandparent to grandchild.
Because of their special powers,
those of the clans were exploited in all sorts of battles.
As a result, all Kekkei Genkai were feared
as harbingers of disaster and death.
After the war was over,
they decided to hide their special powers.
If anyone knew of their secret, only death could be expected.
I'm sure that boy went through so much suffering as well.
The greater your power, the more you were feared.
My mother had the Kekkei Genkai.
She kept it secret from my father.
She hoped that for a while...
No, she must have thought that they could have a simple life forever.
Look, Mommy! Look!
Isn't it fantastic?
Not you, too!
Why? Why him, too?
That hurts, Mommy!
Sorry...
I'm sorry, Haku...
I'm sorry!
However...
Father had discovered our secret.
When I came to...
I had killed my own father.
And that moment, what I thought of myself was that...
no, that is what I had to think.
And then knew that it was the most painful thing.
The most... painful thing...?
That I...
that my existence didn't matter to anyone else in the world.
Same with me.
You told me that...
You'll be the best Ninja in the village, and make everyone respect you.
If someone comes along and accepts you for who you are,
no one could be more important to you than that person.
Even though he knew I was from a clan with Kekkei Genkai,
Zabuza took me in.
My power that everyone hated... He wanted it, needed it.
Brats like you won't be needed by anyone and die like dogs.
You have the same eyes as I do...
Brat...
Do you want... to be needed by someone?
Are you willing to give everything for me?
From now on, your power belongs to me.
Come with me.
I was so happy...
Haku, bad news.
I have to leave the Land of Water as of tonight.
However, I'll be back in this land some day.
I will rule over this land.
To do that...
what I need isn't consolation, encouragement or empty words.
What I really need is...
I already know.
You have nothing to fear.
I am your weapon, Zabuza.
Keep me by you as a mere tool that heeds your every word.
You're a good boy!
I apologize, Zabuza.
I wasn't good enough to be the tool you were looking for.
Naruto!
I want you...
to kill me.
Ninja Art, Summoning, Earth Style: Fanged Pursuit Jutsu!
Whatever you do won't work!
You have absolutely no idea where I am now.
However...
I know exactly where you are and what you're about.
Kakashi...
You are completely in my hands now.
W What is that racket?
What... Just what's going on out there?
If you can't use your eyes or ears, simply use your nose.
That's what happens
when you're closing your eyes in the midst of fog.
This is the Summoning Jutsu specialized for pursuit.
I deliberately shed my own blood
to stop your attacks both times for this.
Your weapons have a thick scent of my blood on them now.
Those are my adorable Ninja Dogs.
And their sense of smell is without equal.
You're the one who was playing into my hands.
The fog has lifted already.
And your future is... death.
I've had enough of your bluffs!
Don't act tough!
There's nothing you can do in this situation.
Your death is certain.
Zabuza.
You were too full of yourself.
You're too ambitious for your own good.
You assassinated the Mizukage, but failed to pull off a coup.
You left the service with few men under you,
and became a Rogue Ninja.
Soon after, your name reached our Hidden Leaf Village.
You needed to raise funds to strike back.
And you needed to hide from
the Tracking Unit's pursuit and retaliation.
Isn't that about the reason
why you hired yourself out to scum like Gato?
Zabuza.
Do you really believe I've managed to survive with just Sharingan?
Here's something I didn't copy, a Jutsu of my own...
To enlighten you!
Lightning Blade!
What the...?!
His hand is visibly overflowing with Chakra!
You are too dangerous.
Tazuna, the man you are trying to assassinate
is the symbol of courage in this land!
The bridge he is building is the hope of this land!
And your ambitions will sacrifice countless lives.
That isn't how a Shinobi is supposed to behave.
Who cares?
I have always fought for my own ideals.
And that will never ever change!
I'll say it again.
Huh?
Give up.
Your future is... death!
Please kill me.
What are you hesitating for?
No...
What you said is ridiculous!
You're a weapon? Just a tool for him?
How can you call him special to you?
Are you really okay with that?
Is that wrong?
Huh?
Tell me, what is wrong with that?
Well, uh...
It's not...
Zabuza counts on me, even if I'm worthless.
He made me feel needed.
But now, I've lost my usefulness that affirmed my existence.
Zabuza no longer needs me.
That's why, I am now appealing to you.
Please, make it quick
W Why did this happen?
Is this what it means to be a strong Ninja?
To protect someone?
Are you okay with that?
Are you really okay with that?
I don't get it. I can never accept that!
