Episode Summary
Haku stops holding back and the bridge grows a cathedral of ice. The Crystal Ice Mirrors enclose Sasuke in a dome where Haku exists in every pane at once, attacking from all of them faster than the eye tracks. Naruto arrives with maximum drama and minimum sense — leaping inside the dome, doubling the targets. Outside, Kakashi and Zabuza begin their rematch in the mist while Sakura guards Tazuna alone. The arc's three-board endgame is set, and the genin board is losing.
