"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
After using the Water Dragon Bullet Technique to extinguish the incoming Great Fireball, Zabuza and Hozuki Mangetsu stood back to back, staring fixedly at the Uchiha girl before them.

The ordinary members of the clan did not know Naruto's identity, but Clan Head
