After being promoted to Genin, Naruto joins Team 7, led by Kakashi, along with Sasuke and Sakura. After seven D-class missions, Team 7 is given the opportunity to undertake a C-level mission: protecting a bridge builder, Tazuna. An attack by unknown ninjas escalates the situation, raising the mission's danger level to B.
Team 7 is forced to face the powerful ninja Zabuza Momochi, sent by Gatō to kill Tazuna. Kakashi, using the power of the Sharingan, manages to overpower Zabuza by sneaking up behind him. The battle against Zabuza continues. Naruto is determined not to fear battles anymore and wants to prove to Sasuke that he is not a coward. After initially gaining the upper hand, Kakashi is trapped by Zabuza in the Water Prison. After a moment of fear, Naruto and Sasuke devise a tactic to try and free their master. Kakashi escapes from Zabuza's Water Prison thanks to the combined strategy of Naruto and Sasuke, and the fight goes on. Kakashi, using the Sharingan, begins to copy all of Zabuza's moves, even anticipating a technique he had not yet used, putting him on the defensive and extremely agitated. At this point, a mysterious young boy appears and kills Zabuza.
