Zabuza: The Six-Tails Is There

The surrounding mist seemed to have grown thicker. Coupled with the sudden disappearance of several subordinates, it gave Zabuza an intense sense of unease.

He silently tightened his grip on the Ninja Blade in his hand. His instincts told him that danger was about to strike.
