IDENTITY
Zabuza was initially portrayed as a shrewd, arrogant unkind, insensitive and ambitious shinobi. He began his service to Gato to earn enough money to stage an additional strike against Mizukage, and then kill anyone who crosses his path, including Gato himself, after the money is accumulated from Gato to pay him. His brutal and brutal reputation first became known as a child in the year he murdered all of the students at Kirigakure Academy, earning him the moniker “Demon of Hidden Mist” (Wu Yin renoGui Ren, Kirigakure no fijin).
He was not afraid to use his own soldiers and other as pawns in order to make his dreams become reality, and so the he fashioned Haka as a tool that could be destroyed after he had become useless to be used. However unlike the other villains and his adversaries, he was open with his subordinates on what he wanted them to do and did not employ any kind of manipulation, like fake benevolence to gain the loyalty of his subordinates to. This was in line with his skewed view of a universe that was just used and used and his view of the shinobi being nothing greater than mere tools.
Zabuza is a skilled opponent who is able to analyze the tactics of his opponent after having seen them for the first time however, he can be overconfident when he has already concluded that those methods ineffective. In the last hours in his existence, it’s turned out that he was deeply concerned for Haku and, after being encouraged with the help of Naruto Uzumaki, Zabuza sacrifices his life in order to kill Gato and ends up dying with the intention to be with Haku when he returns to the next life.
But he’s unwilling to speak or even listen about it, and he orders anyone who is attempting to talk about it to stop. Kakashi was also adamant that Zabuza was hesitant for a while before making the decision to cut Haku in two with Kakashi during their fight on the bridge. absence of even a hint in doubt throughout the Fourth World Shinobi War let Kakashi be aware that a controlled Zabuza was totally different.
He also displayed an attitude of respect which was apparent following his resurrection, where He expresses his displeasure at the thought of being a servant of an individual who went as that he used the dead as a instrument, and making them immortal while at the same time. His pride is shown even more when he pleads with Kakashi to prevent him from doing anything and Haku from inflicting harm on anyone.
THE PAST
Under the rule of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, Kirigakure engaged in fighting Academy graduates until death in an exam for the final year which saw the most skilled students becoming the most desirable applicants for the seven Shinobi swordsmen of Mist. After Zabuza who was not even a student killed over hundred of his peers by slaying them coldly, the game was banned and Zabuza himself has been called “The Demon of Hidden Mist.”
In the course of time, his fame grew, as Zabuza transformed into Anbu as well as defeated the Ninja Konohakure Kumade Toriyichi prior to being a part of his fellow members of the Seven Swordsmen.
One day , he came across Haku, a boy who had an enhanced genome and began to train him to make him the ultimate weapon. In the show the story, he and Haku were witness to an attack by the Kaguya clan’s assault at Kirigakure, but they decided to not help the village. After a while they were able to meet Kimimaro, who was soon the only survivor of the Kaguya clan. Even though Haku himself was keen to speak to Kimimaro, Zabuza forced him to quit Kimimaro and continue on.
In the meantime the attempt to kill fourth Mizukage in the course of the coup was unsuccessful, Zabuza was forced to leave together with Haku as well as others, including Haku and the Demon Brothers, and then they were mercenaries in order to raise funds needed for the second attempt at coup and Zabuza began to work for Gato.
PART I.
PROLOGUE – LAND OF THE WAVES
In order to raise funds to create a second coup, Zabuza becomes a hired assassin. He is recruited to Gato to perform a single job, which is to kill a bridge builder known as Tazuna who has turned out to be an enemy to Gato’s business. If Tazuna’s Demon Brothers fail to eliminate Tazuna by striking the angry Gato with a sword, Zabuza decides to go after Tazuna himself as a bridge builder.
After locating the target, Zabuza discovers that Tazuna is protected by the legendary Kakashi Hatake as well as his pupils. In an effort to determine his capabilities, Zabuza challenges Kakashi to a battle, to which Kakashi responds by showing Kakashi’s Sharean.
Just after the battle has begun, Zabuza manages to take Kakashi by surprise, and then captures him using Kakashi’s Water Prison technique. Due to the necessity to be close to Kakashi in order to keep him locked up, Zabuza sends a water replica to take out Tazuna and the remaining members of Team Kakashi and believes it’s not too difficult. But, Naruto Uzumaki has a plan and, with Sasuke Uchiha’s assistance, he’s in a position to launch an attack that is stealthy against Zabuza and force Kakashi to let himself go.
He fights Zabuza however Kakashi’s Sharingan immediately granted him a significant advantage. Through replicating Zabuza’s Water Element the Great Waterfall Technique before the technique could be used by him, Kakashi managed to overpower Zabuza.Before Zabuza was murdered through Kakashi, Haku, disguised as a ninja hunter was on the scene and swung two needles into his neck, causing him to die. the victim. Infusing Zabuza’s body with the pretense of wanting to take him down, Haku brought him back to life, despite the fact that the needles only paralyzed the victim. While Zabuza’s life was saved, he requires an entire week to heal, and he was planning to murder Tazuna and Kakashi immediately afterward.
The following week, Zabuza and Haku appeared before the team Kakashi in order to settle the issue. While Haku engaged in a fight with Kakashi’s pupils, Zabuza took on Kakashi himself. After having learned through Haku about how Sharingan operates, Zabuza covered the bridge with a thick mist in order to prevent the negative effects caused by the eyes.
In doing this, Zabuza was able to cut Kakashi with his sword which caused him to be seriously injured. Kakashi was able to made himself vulnerable to being attacked, and summoned his ninja dog to locate Zabuza due to the smell of blood remaining on his blade and later to take him into custody.As Zabuza was not able in his defense Kakashi determined to murder Zabuza by using Raikiri in the event that he then rushed towards him. But before the method was able to reach its intended goal, Haku shielded Zabuza as human shields and absorbed an entire attack.
He fulfilled his pledge to become a tool for his master. After being freed from Haku’s interference, Zabuza was unwilling to ignore the chance he created for himself, therefore he decides to slice Haku and Kakashi’s bodies in order to kill Kakashi however, Kakashi was able to evade the attack and inflict wounds on Zabuza’s hands. This renders them incapacity.As Zabuza was no longer fighting, Gato shows up at the bridge and ends the deal, thereby having his men prepare to murder Tazuna themselves. In the end, with no reason left to murder Tazuna, Zabuza ended his battle with Kakashi however Naruto was not happy with the outcome.

Naruto began to regale him about Haku’s feelings towards him , and his unwavering devotion to Zabuza.
PART II
THE FOURTH SHINOBI WORLD WAR: CONFRONTATION
In the course of preparing to prepare for preparations for Fourth World Shinobi War, Zabuza was resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi to fight his Allied Shinobi Forces prior to being mobilized alongside Haku, Gari, Pakura as well as Toroi. After hearing Zabuza declare to Haku that it appeared they were not in their afterlife Gary told them about their present situation, infuriating Zabuza who was not willing to bow to a man who had fallen so low that they could use even dead people.Then, after they were snatched by the Rapid Attack Division, Haku was able to shield them both by securing them against explosive seals being carried from Say’s inky birds, but Zabuza said that it wasn’t enough as he watched the other revived ones repair damages. It was a source of frustration for him because not only were they restored to health however, they were declared impossible to kill.
Being the only member of the group that didn’t have an enhanced gene pool, Zabuza rushed to the enemies he just defeated however, he was stopped by Kakashi who he did not expect to face again. After welcoming Sakura and observing her improvement since their last time they met, Zabuza also inquired about Naruto and was told by Kakashi the extent to which he was famous been after their demise.As Kabuto erases their minds, Zabuza begs Kakashi to end them at any cost because his humanity is dead. As the area is covered in dense fog Zabuza begins to assault with the third Division before being repelled by Kakashi. In the middle fighting, members of the former generations of Seven Mist Swordsmen are called into the battle in order to let the Akatsuki for them to gain the initiative.
Zabuza is also summoned, but already with a fractured Kubikiribocho. During the subsequent battle after having survived an ineffective bombardment using different techniques, Zabuza begins to rebuild his sword by using iron that he has collected by the blood of his enemies.Kakashi finally tries to disarm him However, this time Haku gets hit back. Zabuza is preparing to cut Kakashi through Haku however he does inflict minimal damage through a clean cut through the body of Haku. With his sword completely restored, Zabuza heads toward Kakashi however, as soon as they meet, Kakashi cuts off his sword’s hand, and then penetrates his chest. This opens the way for Ensui Nara to temporarily disable Zabuza before Zabuza is captured, and then secured with Maki, causing the fog to fade away.
THE FOURTH SHINOBI WORLD WAR: THE CLIMAX
Then, after you have mastered the Unholy Resurrection technique was undone the light stream illuminated the body of Zabuza as his spirit was liberated from the chains that were imposed by Edo Tensei and returned to the afterlife.
ABILITIES
As an ex-high-ranking Kiri Shinobi, Zabuza was a very tough combatant. His determination to win battles was always evident and his skills were evident as a youngster prior to the time his entry into the Academy in the first place, he killed more than 100 of his students himself. Even as an adult, when he was severely wounded and both arms were damaged, Zabuza proved to be a formidable opponent and was able to knock out Gato’s bodyguards, specially recruited by the latter and, at the final battle, Gato himself.
According to his name, Zabuza possessed incredibly strong chakra that was visible to the naked eye once released, and morphed into the appearance of an apocalypse. In spite of the fact Zabuza was unable to walk on his own just one glance could cause Gato’s remaining bodyguards to scatter in terror.
PHYSICAL POWER
Zabuza was a very robust and powerful physical warrior. He was able to use Kubikiribocho for long periods of time even using only one hand, and his speed was sufficient to keep pace with the speed of Kakashi. His ability and strength were also demonstrated when he leapt high enough to avoid shurikens that were hidden and aimed at his neck with Kakashi back using one hand and with Kubikiribocho placed on the back of his head. Zabuza was also able to demonstrate amazing taijutsu abilities.
Although he lost the power to use both arms Zabuza could kill and fight off many of Gato’s personally hired bodyguards by using properly-coordinated leg kicks as well as kunai inside his teeth. In addition Zabuza showed an extraordinary level of stamina and fortitude and was able to carry on fighting despite the wounds he suffered from Kakashi as well as the many blades that struck him killing Gato as well as many of his associates.
Zabuza was also in a position to take the direct blow of an advanced technique without suffering any serious injury but was capable of moving relatively normal within a short time.
Zabuza was also an expert in assassination and stealth. He gained fame all over the world for his extraordinary abilities at killing his opponents with zero sight. Kakashi claimed that his skill of Silent killing was unmatched. This method put the victim under immense stress before Zabuza even started attacking, and it was often claimed that the slightest motion was enough for Zabuza to determine her location.
NINJUTSU
KENJUTSU
While at Kirigakura, Zabuza was one of the Seven Swordsmen from the Mist the team comprised from Kirigakure’s best swordsmen. The swordsmen generation to which he was a part of has been described as the strongest of the ones created by Kirigakure, a further evidence of Zabuza’s remarkable skills. Zabuza’s signature weapons were that of the Kubikiribocho an elongated broad blade believed to have been specifically designed to kill opponents.
This huge weapon had the unique capability to absorb and utilize iron from blood of the people it cut to heal itself in case it was damaged or damaged. Zabuza was a pro making use of it, and was capable of killing numerous enemies with multiple wounds, he claimed that the blade “never cut twice”, meaning that it killed many in a single attack.
This weapon’s mass didn’t appear to slow Zabuza down in any way, since Zabuza could carry it for extended periods of time, without any apparent overstretching. Suigetsu Hozuki did not manage to accomplish the same feat. Zabuza could also spin it toward a group of enemies using enough force to make it stuck in a solid tree branch.He also used a particular Kunai that had sharp protrusions in one of its sides (which was featured in the show as a variant of the standard Kirigakura Kunai) that was designed to cut and stab the enemy , not cutting, which is with its concealed features. Zabuza could also employ the fuuma shuriken similarly way, employing it for close-range combat, by turning the weapon around in his hands to strike his adversaries.
NATURAL TRANSFORMATIONS.
Zabuza had excellent abilities in the water Element strategies. He was able to apply several techniques simultaneously, while keeping only one person in the game like when he held Kakashi in a prison cell using The Water Prison technique while battling the remaining members of Team 7 by using the water clone.
Zabuza was able to support multiple clones at the same time frequently using them as distractions. Zabuza was also skilled in highly destructive large-scale water-based attacks, consisting of unleashing massive streams of water as dragon shells as well as a massive waterfall towards his foes.
Zabuza was particularly effective during his hiding in the Mist Technique which enabled him to use Silent Assassination easier than anything else. Through the use of dense fog Zabuza could blind his enemies and make it difficult for them to defend him. This meant that Zabuza was able to carry out stealth attacks even in totally open terrain, capable of disappearing from view of the enemy and strike without being noticed.
The skill he mastered in this method was so good that he was able create an impenetrable fog , without the requirement of an water source close by. It was even Kabuto Yakushi was extremely grateful for Zabuza’s application of this technique and Zabuza was willing to give up his other resurrected Shinobi to defend Zabuza and preserve the technique of hiding in fog operating.
INTELLIGENCE
While Zabuza prefers direct assaults however, he was skilled at deceiving tactics. Since his experience with Anbu, Zabuza had a vast knowledge of the key places in the human body as well as some of the organs with greatest vulnerability. Additionally, Zabuza was versed in new techniques and enhanced genomes after having heard about Sharingan Sharean and instantly recognising his the Shadow Cloning Technique.
Zabuza was also a seasoned teacher, since it was through his guidance that Haku was able to develop into an extremely powerful shinobi, in spite of his youth.
LEGACY
After Zabuza’s demise, Kirigakure began associating his name with the members who were part of the Team 7; Kisame Hoshigaki was a reference to Zabuza when first meeting Kakashi as well as Five Mizukage as well as Choujuro believed that it was Sasuke as the person who defeated him, as well as Haku. In reality, Zabuza himself acknowledged that his defeat was due to Naruto.
Zabuza’s sword was removed from his tomb from his grave by Suigetsu Hozuki In Part 2 (in the anime, it is Tenzen Daikoku who was the source from which Suigetsu obtained his sword). The sword was taken during Kakashi and Zabuza’s final battle after Zabuza’s resurrection, Kakashi said that Naruto chose to be the hero and shinobi had been his personal hero at the time , mainly due to his father and Haku.
OTHER
“Zabuza” is his name “Zabuza” literally means “never cut twice” (Zai Bu Zhan ) as well as his title “Momochi” translates to “peach soil” like all the other members of the Seven Mist Swordsmen, his name derives from the type of product. His last name is Zabuza “Momochi,” may be an ode to the famed Ninja Momochi Sandayu, though his name is written differently. Despite only appearing in the show, Zabuza is still very well-known, as evident by popularity polls for his character. Zabuza was briefly featured during the episode of Naruto Shippuuden episode 129 of omake on Lantern. He was also briefly in his followers on Naruto Shippuuden Episode 183 along with Haku, Gekko and a few Ame Ninja. Pierrot’s Settei Studio records indicate Zabuza’s height was 188 cm in Part I. According to the Databook(s). Zabuza’s passion is sharpening edges on weapons. Zabuza was looking to take on the five Kages. Zabuza’s least favourite food was fresh veggies. Zabuza is officially complete 191 mission: four D-ranks 70 C-ranks, 79 B-ranks 29 A-ranks and 12 S-ranks. Zabuza’s most-loved term is “control” (Zhi Pei , Shihai). It has been proven that Zabuza may emit a shield of chakra, in the form of an oni and that is where his nickname “Hidden Mist Demon” (Jap. Wu Yin renoGui Ren , Kirigakure no Kijin) could originate from. The episode of 265, during the Zabuza flashback in episode 265, he was shown wearing dark eyes as if he had been being influenced by The unholy Resurrection procedure. In a different flashback, as he was being dying Zabuza came over, and laid down next to Haku. But in the initial sequence, Kakashi laid him down alongside Haku as Zabuza himself requested as a last request. Contrary to the age stated in the data referenced Zabuza’s real age could be different depending on the date he graduated from the Academy as well as the assertions from the narrative, since it was ten years prior to his appearance on the show that the school massacre occurred as he claimed to have done even though he was not an actual ninja when the incident occurred. Based on this information, Zabuza must have been an teen when he first made an appearance in the show. Zabuza’s demise is reminiscent of the death similar to that of Musashiboo Bankei, an ancient Japanese warrior-monk who perished on a infamous bridge after being struck by a number of swords.
