Kakashi exhausted himself after using his
Sharingan for too long in the last battle. He needs time to
recover fully, so the team stays over at Tazuna’s house with
his daughter Tsunami and grandson Inari.
Meanwhile, the hunter nin who killed Zabuza turns
out to be his ally, Haku. Zabuza is revived because the
needles Haku used allowed him to fake Zabuza’s death.
Kakashi decides to continue his
students’ training while he recovers. In a forest,
he teaches them about chakra control by having Naruto and the others
climb trees by channelling chakra to their feet. Sakura is a
natural at this, but Naruto and Sasuke need more practice.
Zabuza needs to recover from his injuries as
well, but Gato and his men pay him a visit because he failed to kill
Tazuna. However, Haku does not let them near Zabuza and tells
Gato to leave before he kills him.
