Gazing at Momochi Zabuza, who was injured and on the verge of death, Haku agreed without hesitation.

Tears slid from the corners of Haku's eyes. He raised his slender fingers and gently wiped them away.
Crack, crack, crack...
As the coffin froze.
A blade flew out from Zabuza's heart.
Strangely, under the effect of Coffin Prison, the wound in his heart had stopped bleeding.
Instead, it slowly merged with Coffin Prison.

This intuition.
