Freed by Naruto's clever assault, Kakashi turns the tide against Zabuza. Using the Sharingan to steal every move his enemy makes, the Copy Ninja outfights the swordsman right up until a masked stranger intervenes.
Summary
To dodge an attack sprung by Naruto, Zabuza has no choice but to let Kakashi go. Furious at the boy's interference, the swordsman lunges for Naruto, but Kakashi steps in to shield his student. The jonin then praises Team 7 for pulling the maneuver off and pledges to carry his share of the fight from here on.
Key Events
Zabuza unleashes his Water Dragon Bullet, and Kakashi copies the jutsu on the spot with his Sharingan, the twin torrents smashing together. When Zabuza readies yet another move, he realizes with alarm that Kakashi is echoing his every gesture. Kakashi then strikes using the Great Waterfall Technique, an attack Zabuza had merely been picturing in his mind and had not yet performed.
Notes
With Zabuza reeling, Kakashi moves to finish him, only for a masked youth to strike first and apparently deal the killing blow. Two quirks accompany the chapter: one panel draws the tomoe of Kakashi's Sharingan spinning counterclockwise, and the English Shonen Jump printing retitled the installment "Resurrection of the Sharingan Eye" while flipping the cover art. The chapter takes place in the Prologue arc set in the Land of Waves.
