Ep 115. Zabuza's Blade

Upon the beginning of Naruto Shippuden Season 3, Episode 115, we are introduced to the Hidden Leaf Village where Kakashi assigns a mission to Team Seven of Naruto, Sakura, and Sai. Their task is to investigate the disappearance of a rebellion group led by Rokkaku.

As they make their way to the Earth Country, the team accidentally stumbles upon an old enemy from the past, Zabuza Momochi, the infamous ninja who once wielded the Kubikiribocho, a massive, legendary sword known for its unique ability to heal itself when it draws blood.

With the sword now missing, Zabuza's apprentice, a young man named Haku, explains that the sword has been stolen, and that a new group of ninja who call themselves the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist has emerged. They are trying to rekindle the territory wars that once plagued the Hidden Mist Village.

The Team Seven tries to track down this new group with no success. However, they encounter a mercenary named Towa who knows the identity of the Seven Swordsmen. They come to find that the group is after a treasure located in a remote cave. Being opportunistic, they decide that they must beat the Swordsmen to the treasure and take it for the Hidden Leaf Village instead.

Upon arriving at the cave, they soon realize that the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist has already made their way inside. After a few close calls, they finally managed to obtain the treasure, and discover Zabuza's Kubikiribocho.

The Team Seven can't resist the lure of the sword's legend, so they decide to test it out. While testing the sword, they accidentally awaken an army of undead warriors. With the help of Towa, they fend off the zombies, but at the cost of their injuries.

In the midst of the chaos, Haku arrives and tells the team that the Seven Swordsmen are actually after another weapon concealed within the same cave, the Kabuto. The Kabuto is said to amplify the wielder's chakra to unprecedented levels.

The team decides to split up, with Naruto and Towa taking the Kubikiribocho and heading towards an exit, while Sakura and Sai go with Haku to find the Kabuto before the Swordsmen can. As Sakura and Sai go deeper into the cave, they confronted by the Seven Swordsmen but are rescued in the nick of time by Towa.

Meanwhile, Naruto ends up fighting one of the Seven Swordsmen, Ameyuri Ringo. Ringo is wielding twin swords that can control water and electricity, making him a formidable opponent. However, with his signature Rasengan technique, Naruto quickly overpowers Ringo and defeats him.

At the same time, Sakura and Sai succeed in locating the Kabuto, but upon touching it, an illusionary barrier appears, separating Sakura and Sai from Haku. They are attacked by Gari, yet another one of the Swordsmen. In a dramatic battle, they finally manage to defeat Gari and destroy the barrier.

With the treasure in the possession of the Hidden Leaf Village, Zabuza's legacy finally laid to rest, a new journey of discovery has begun for the brave heroes of the Hidden Leaf.
