"We'll go check out the bridge tomorrow. If possible, I hope Mr. Tazuna can begin construction as soon as possible."
At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki and the others had arrived at Tazuna's home. After being intercepted by Zabuza and fighting him, the battle had ultimately been wrapped up by a Kirigakure Anbu who had suddenly appeared.
"Why are we in such a hurry? We only arrived today. We should at least rest for two days." Tazuna had changed into a different set of clothes and looked puzzled at Kakashi's words. Naruto and the others also turned to Kakashi in confusion.
Kakashi rubbed his chin. "No. I thought it over carefully on the way here. Zabuza might not be dead. There was something off about those senbon the boy used.
