In the Ice Dome…

The two were trapped as mirror images of Haku were everywhere.

It was obvious that this was a divide and conquer as Haku was determined to see the two youths fall before his hand, with his connection to Gato and the Missing Nin, Zabuza. It was not of hate or bloodlust; no, he liked the blond shinobi as she understood him. But there was no choice in the manner and Zabuza needs the mission to be completed. There was no other choice in this. It was a shame, they were so young and have so much potential, but they have to die.

Sasuke was breathing hard as was his future sister-in-law. Their only hope was to destroy the mirrors and find the real Haku. That proved near impossible as the raining senbons were proving deadly for them. The younger Uchiha was feeling pain in his body and stress on his mind. Despite, not liking Naru marrying his beloved brother, he wasn't going to let the dobe die.

That is when the power came and an idea.

"Dobe, listen to me very carefully." He uttered under his breath as the girl turned to him while she was barely awake, "We are not going to die. We are going to win."

Haku said nothing as he threw a senbon at Naru but Sasuke was fast enough to grab her and avoided the needles, shocking Haku and Naru. He tried again but it had the same result as Sasuke became more confident.

"How is this possible?" He questioned the boy.

"It's very simple, I am an Uchiha."

On the bridge...

"So, it seems I'll be facing two Sharingan users, copy the moves of others or hypnotize them into a comatose state." Zabuza chuckled as he still kept his eyes close.

"You seem to know a lot about my family's kekkei," Itachi commented as he became suspicious of the man.

"How can I not? It was not the first time I have faced that kekkei." Zabuza chuckled as Itachi narrowed his eyes.

"Who?"

"Wouldn't you like to know, Uchiha Itachi?" He mocked as both Kakashi and Itachi were enveloped in mist.

"I hope your Fiancé and brother are having better luck than us," Kakashi muttered to his partner in battle.

In the Mirror dome…

Sasuke was dodging the senbons and watching over Naruto, who fainted from her wounds as Haku knew that he needed to change his plans.

If he cannot kill the boy… then he'll sadly have to kill the nice girl. It broke his heart, but he had to do it, for him. He flung the senbon that would kill the girl. But it never hit her. She woke from the wound and was stunned by what she saw before her.

Sasuke, her rival, her brother-in-law, her teammate was covered in senbons, shielding her!

"SASUKE! SASUKE!" She shrieked as the boy collapsed as she caught him, using her legs as a pillow for him, "Why? Why did you save me? I thought you hated me?"

"I… don't know…. My body just moved…" Sasuke rasped as his breathing became slower, "Itachi… I am so sorry… I couldn't avenge our clan… I couldn't… find your treasure… Naru… please… tell Itachi I am sorry…"

Then he went limp and something in Naru woke up.

"He hurt him… He hurt you… HURT HIM BACK!"
