However, he seems reluctant to speak or hear about it, telling whoever does so to shut up. ![]() In his last moments, Zabuza realised how deeply he truly cared for Haku, and after being convinced by Naruto Uzumaki, he sacrifices his life to kill Gatō, and dies wishing he could join Haku in the afterlife. After Haku's death, while Zabuza initially only laughs at his usefulness, Kakashi notes Zabuza is no longer able to fight to his true potential as he is secretly distraught at Haku's loss. Despite his ruthlessness, Zabuza possessed a softer side that he himself was largely unaware of. He is an observant adversary who is able to analyse his opponent's techniques after seeing it once, but becomes overconfident if he sees the technique as useless. Zabuza crying after hearing Naruto's words about Haku. Despite this outward attitude, Zabuza grew to care deeply for Haku and viewed him to be far more than a tool. This corresponds with his cynical view of the world, which only consists of the used and the users, as well as viewing shinobi to be nothing more than tools. He willingly uses his own men and others as pawns to fulfil his ambitions, as he raised Haku to be an efficient tool to be discarded when he had no use to exploit although unlike future antagonists, he was blunt about the purpose that his recruits were needed for, forgoing any form of manipulation by pretending to be benevolent to inspire loyalty. His reputation for cruelty and ruthlessness began as a child where he killed every single candidate in Kirigakure's Academy, earning him the moniker of "Demon of the Hidden Mist" ( 霧隠れの鬼人, Kirigakure no Kijin). Zabuza was initially portrayed as aggressive, arrogant, cruel, cold and ambitious, willing to become Gatō's thug to gain enough funds to start a second coup d'etat on the Mizukage and have the nation under his feet, and kill anyone who stood in his path, including plotting to kill Gatō once he had received enough funds from him. However he would become bitter and cynical after the coup ended in failure, and over time made him a ruthless hitman willing to be hired out by anyone corrupt. Personality Īccording to his former follower Gengo, Zabuza was once seen as charismatic and inspiring as he had previously dreamed of a society with shinobi as the ruling class a dream which motivated his attempted coup against the Fourth Mizukage whom he disagreed with. As Zabuza was accepting work from corrupt people, however, many of his followers became disillusioned about such goals and left one of whom was Gengo. With his departure he took the Kubikiribōchō with him, causing Kirigakure to lose one of its famed swords. Zabuza subsequently fled the village with Haku and some other followers, such as the Demon Brothers, becoming mercenaries in order to gather funds for a second attempt in the future, which is why he worked with Gatō. He gathered a group of followers and attempted a coup d'etat against the Mizukage, only to be betrayed by one of their own resulting in a failed attempt on Yagura's life. ĭuring the Fourth Mizukage's reign over the Bloody Mist, Zabuza came to disagree with the workings of the village. ![]() Although Haku wanted to talk to the boy, Zabuza forced him to leave Kimimaro alone and keep moving. Soon after, they encountered Kimimaro, the soon-to-be-sole survivor of the Kaguya. In the anime, he and Haku witnessed the Kaguya clan attacking Kirigakure yet chose not to help his village. ![]() At some point, he discovered Haku, a child with a special kekkei genkai and began training him to be the ultimate weapon. His fame grew over the years as he became an Anbu, killing the Konohagakure ninja Kumade Toriichi at that time, before finally joining the Seven Swordsmen. After Zabuza, not yet a student himself, killed over one hundred Academy students, the practice was discontinued and he would thereafter be known as the "Demon of the Hidden Mist". Zabuza during his time as a Kirigakure ninja.īefore the term of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, Kirigakure began the practice of pitting Kirigakure Academy graduates against each other in death matches as a final exam with the exceptionally skilled students named prime candidates for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. ![]()
