After a Fierce Battle

After a fierce battle, Zabuza led his team into defeat elsewhere. However, he did not abandon his thoughts of revenge. Just one week later, he appeared before Team 7 again with Haku, determined to retaliate against them.

This time, Sasuke's opponent was Haku, who possessed the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. Although Haku was incredibly fast, Sasuke had undergone rigorous training and quickly adapted to Haku's rhythm, managing to keep up with him.

Realizing he was at a disadvantage, Haku did not hesitate to use his secret technique—Crystal Ice Mirrors. In an instant, countless massive ice mirrors appeared across the battlefield, trapping Sasuke within them.

Just then, Naruto rushed over and saw Sasuke trapped. Overwhelmed with worry, he impulsively stepped into Haku's trap.

Trapped within the Crystal Ice Mirrors, Sasuke did not simply wait for death. He kept trying to break free. During his fierce exchanges with Haku, Sasuke gradually grasped Haku's attack patterns and successfully awakened his own Kekkei Genkai—the Sharingan.

With the Sharingan, Sasuke could not only see through Haku's light-speed movements among the mirrors, but also cleverly use that advantage to protect the badly injured Naruto.

Haku noticed Sasuke's change and realized the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable. In order to turn the battle around, Haku decided to attack Naruto and create an opening in Sasuke's defenses.

However, Sasuke had already seen through Haku's scheme. Even so, he did not hesitate to use his own body to block Haku's attack on Naruto.

As Naruto stared in shock at Sasuke shielding him from the attack, Sasuke haughtily said, "I wasn't trying to save you. My body just moved on its own." In the end, enraged and empowered by the Nine-Tails' chakra, Naruto unleashed astonishing strength and defeated Haku in one blow. Sasuke had not actually suffered a fatal injury;
