In the snow.
Haku was fighting the enemy. After repelling several Snow Ninja attempting a sneak attack, he pulled back some distance.
At that moment, Haku was puzzled. Why were these seemingly powerful Snow Ninja nowhere near as strong as they looked? Apart from a few of their leaders, the rest could not withstand a single blow.
