Naruto 524: Something to protect.
Zabuza tries to cut Kakashi through Haku. Kakashi thinks, 'He's gonna cut me through the boy?' and recalls what Haku did back then in the country of Waves.
Maki: Kakashi-taichou!
Ensui Contact with one enemy's shadow! And time of contact with the second is too short, I can't stop that enemy from moving!
Santa: You want to say Zabuza attacked Kakashi-taichou?! Impossible!
Kakashi remembers a conversation that he had with the little Naruto on the way back from the Naruto bridge. Naruto wants another A rank mission, Kakashi refuses until Naruto gets stronger. Naruto says that Haku said one gets trully strong when protecting something dear, Naruto agrees with this statement, then asks Kakashi what he thinks about (what about is revealed later).
The present Edo Tensei-ed Haku falls and starts to crumble away. Kakashi says, he's glad they were Naruto's first opponents. Zabuza's ready to attack him. Kakashi makes seals for Raikiri and orders Maki to get ready and wait for his signal. Then Kakashi says, recalling the past again, 'That time you hesitated to cut through Haku and wasn't able to hide how his death affected you...' Zabuza draws closer, Kakashi (he's injured in the stomach) continues, 'But now's different. You're just a tool robbed of your feelings! So I'm gonna end this fight here and now!'
The flashback continues. Naruto asks if it's wierd that he liked Zabuza and Haku despite them being the enemies. Kakashi chuckles and thinks that he did too.
Kakashi pierces Zabuza's heart with his Raikiri. Then shouts for Ensui to bind the shadows. Zabuza starts crumbling down. Kakashi's thought, 'Your tears and the way you died... it was the bond you shared.' Then speaks outloud, 'I have a lot of things to protect as a shinobi'.
Kabuto curses over his board, 'Damn!'
Kakashi continues, 'Zabuza and Haku's death is one of those things too... Because I was the one to kill them. Naruto, you would think so too, wouldn't you?'
Zabuza's blood drips onto the sword, and Haku cries bloody tears. Haku's mirrors break away. Kakashi gives Maki the signal. The mist clears away. Maki wraps Zabuza and Haku in his cloth, makes seals and says that now the two can't be summmoned and he will guard them. Kakashi now has Zabuza's sword in hand and says that Edo Tensei is an unforgivable jutsu, then orders Sai to use the Root sealing jutsu so the momentum is not lost. Sai stammers that he can't yet use that jutsu.
Kakashi: "Didn't Danz? think highly of you?! There's no need to suppress your feelings any more!! Well... It takes me a while to get psyched up as well, but still..."
Now, after reaching his boiling point quickly for the first time in a long time, the Copy Ninja Kakashi, who copied a thousand jutsu... He will live up to his name and rage as his name suggests!
White Zetsu pins Neji's arms behind his back.
Neji: "there are far too many!" (These guys... Are they sucking up chakra...?) Gentle Fist Style One Hit Body!!! (J?kenp? Ichigekimi?)
The White Zetsu is blown away.
Kiba: "They keep coming and coming, without an end!"
Neji: "If you can complain, move!"
Shino: "Each and every one is powerful! They're obstinate! This is turning into a war of attrition."
Shinobi C: "Kitsuchi-taich?! A message from headquarters! It seems several thousand bodies are passing underneath us!"
Kurotsuchi: "Dad!"
Kitsuchi: "Shaddap! I got it!"
Sorry, not the whole thing, because I so don't feel like typing anymore, and in a summary-like style... but you get the gist, ne?
Gaara is fighting Nidaime Tsuchikage, by the way.
An invisible man in bandages (Nidaime Tsuchikage Muu): Sand? So he's the contact type then? Impressive that you were able to realize my (Nidaime Tsuchikage Muu's) existence...
Gaara: Enemy showed up, I see.
