Episode Summary
Zabuza's blade returns as Sasuke recruits his first teammate: Suigetsu, a water-style prisoner of Orochimaru's who covets the Demon of the Mist's executioner's sword. The episode begins assembling Team Hawk, each member chosen for a purpose in the hunt for Itachi. Suigetsu's liquefying body and his quest to collect the Seven Swordsmen's blades add a new flavor to Sasuke's orbit. The pupil-turned-hunter gathers his instruments, the executioner's blade from Part 1's first arc resurfacing in a darker new context.
