    History

    Zabuza before going rogue.

    Zabuza Momochi, "The Demon of the Mist" was an assassin hired by the multi-millionaire/crime boss Gato. As a child without any training, he was able to kill over a hundred academy trainees all by himself. As he grew older, he became skilled with the sword, Kurikiribocho and became one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, an elite group of Kirigakure shinobi who all wielded a sword with a unique ability. Zabuza's sword, if ever was chipped or cracked, could repair itself with the iron from the blood of it's victims. Zabuza would become disillusioned with the leadership of his village and lead a group of ninja to assassinate it's Mizukage but ultimately fail, forcing Zabuza to leave the village and became a rogue and mercenary. On his journeys, he found a young orphan who had an extraordinary ability to create ice mirrors and travel between them to fight his opponents. He took this young kid in, Haku, and trained him in many fighting styles and making him his own personal weapon and tool.

    He would eventually end up in the employ of Gato, who tasked him with killing the bridge maker Tazuna, whom happened to be guarded by Kakashi Hatake and his Genin squad, Team 7. Zabuza first appeared to attempt his assassination right after Kakashi and co. had done away with the Brothers of the Mist, Meizu and Gozu. The ensuing fight between Zabuza and Kakashi was rather long and involved everyone doing something to help fight off the demon. Sakura Haruno guarded Tazuna as Kakashi fought him out on a lake. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were busy dealing with one of Zabuza's "Water Clones".

    Team 7 didn't realize how much trouble they were in until Kakashi was trapped in Zabuza's "Water Prison" technique. Naruto and Sasuke had to develop an elaborate plan involving transformation techniques and diversions, ultimately Zabuza had to release his water prison technique, and the tables turned once more. When Kakashi was finally ready to kill Zabuza, a mysterious masked figure finished the job before him. The figure took Zabuza with him and Kakashi noted that he must have been a tracker ninja for the Mist village. After all, Zabuza was wanted in his home city.

    Death

    Over his recovering weeks Kakashi deduces that this tracker ninja is just an impostor and is actually in all of this to help Zabuza.

    After having everyone train, Kakashi and co. (save Naruto) head off to the bridge that Tazuna was supposed to finish and, to Kakashi's deductions, Zabuza and the mysterious tracker ninja, revealed as Haku, were awaiting them. Sasuke took on Haku and Kakashi took on Zabuza. The fight raged on for hours and people eventually both Naruto and Sasuke were trapped inside one of Haku's many deadly Jutsu, a huge room of ice mirrors that he used a kekkai genkai within so that he could teleport form mirror to mirror at extreme speeds, beating them down in the process. Meanwhile, Zabuza was hiding in his mist and attacking silently and swiftly, quite a feat with a sword if that size on his back.

    After a lengthy battle with Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Zabuza is defeated by Kakashi with a "Raikiri" (Lightning Blade) . Zabuza and Haku are both killed but before he dies Zabuza shows that he really did care for Haku and not just himself. Zabuza then in an emotional scene gives Naruto advice about being a true ninja.

Before Killing Zabuza Kakashi admits that it was infact Zabuza who made Naruto into the ninja he is today. Kakashi successfully fights and defeats Zabuza and Haku back to rest.
