It’s Kakashi vs. Haku and Zabuza, and this time its for keeps. Kakashi has this battle all thought out and planned thanks to his highly skilled ninja buddies. But what he never expected was Haku to take the bullet for Zabuza, willing to sacrofice himself for his friend. If only Kakashi’s memory was better, he would have remembered that this exact situation has happened to him before! Let’s see how he handles it this time.

THE GOOD

The utterly best thing about this chapter is that Kakashi now has Zabuza’s sword! Now he will go on a rampage, killing the millions of plant people until he reaches the big boss himself, I can see it now. But my dreams never do come true.

Basically this chapter was about Kakashi’s growing anger concerning the use of these dead ninja. He felt something for Haku and Zabuza, and now that he is fighting them again he realized that he owes them his thanks for helping Naruto grow. Naturally, the way ninjas thank people is by killing them. Even after Kakashi was slashed across his chest, he still was able to stick his lightning hand through Zabuza, and seal him and Haku for good.

We also see that the battle is not going as good in other places on the front. One mysterious ninja was even able to get all the way to the Supreme Commander, Gaara.

THE BAD

Was it really necessary to remind us every other panel about the previous fight with Zabuza? I mean it was a great fight and everything, but I don’t need to see it again, just hurry up and rip Zabuza’s head off already Kakashi! Though if I think this is bad, I can only expect the anime to be even worse with the flashbacks. It’s also sad knowing this is probably the last time we will see Zabuza as well.

THE VERDICT 3/5

Kakashi said he is going to go all out, which should be crazy because I thought we was going all out before, but I guess that was nothing compared to what’s to come. Also this upcoming Gaara fight should be interesting as well.

The great ninja war, The Seven Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, Zabuza, Kakashi–it’s all coming back to me. Last chapter the bad guys summoned the previous Seven Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, this isn’t good because they are the best of the best when it comes to swordplay. How will Kakashi’s group overcome this?

THE GOOD

I don’t know about you, and your ninja abilities, but I’m scared. In this chapter Suigetsu tells us about the previous generation of the Seven Swordsmen, and they are supposedly the strongest group since its foundation. Things only get worse when some of them are able to summon their magical swords, which really made up a good portion of the Seven Swordsmen’s powers.

Great, Kakashi’s team is now getting owned, especially now since the heavy mist has risen once again. So because of this Kakashi has come up with a plan, a plan I hardly understand, but a plan nevertheless. Kakashi’s goal is to stab Zabuza in the back, but once again he fails for Kakashi’s fist is intercepted by Haku’s body like it did many chapters ago.

THE BAD

What is the phrase again? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again–or something along those lines. You would think Kakashi would know by now that you can’t kill Zabuza before killing Haku. Maybe he will kill them in the right order the third time they fight.

THE VERDICT 4/5

Good chapter this time, with enough swords to wet even my appetite. I can pretty much assume that each one of these swordsmen will have a one to one fight with a particular ninja. So Kakashi will take on Zabuza and Haku, but I wonder about the other match ups. I would love to see Killer Bee join the fight with one of these sword masters, but other than that I have no idea.
