Bro even Kakashi who HAS THE SHARINGAN was like "what the hell did my genin just DO???"
To be fair at this point Sharingan was only some Hipnosis and crazy kinetic seeming (the copy is nothing more than training to make some real time body language reading and decodification). He couldnt notice something Naruto and Sasuke did while making use of blind spots with this type of Sharingan from the early days.
The fact that Naruto and Sasuke have referenced this one strategy in multiple different ways in multiple different fights without evenbeingg together in some of them is amazing. Sasuke used a modified version against itachi, Naruto transformed himself into a rasen shuriken against pain. This one scene is incredibly important to their characters.
Yep ⚡
And the one in the momoshiki fight which was a combination of both
I never realized the pain and Itachi parts so thank you. My appreciation for this series is deepened

This is what got me the most as a kid. Seeing Naruto actually experiencing real fear before charging in with his naive but strong will to push himself beyond the limits of what others, but most importantly he thinks hes capable of. It made Naruto the most relatable protagonist to me growing up. A shame a great sense of that was lost over time in the series. Especially after the fight with Pain.
especily after suddenly they got reincarnated and destined to be a god by god, then suddenly there is a rabbit god who is more powerful than the sage of god. but actually the rabbit god is weaker than the new fucking god name isshiki. then what? isshiki is actually the weakest by god clan? or what? there are more powerful god? i remember og naruto is about ninja, strategic jutsu, not fucking god who is immortal and can't be damaged.
Naruto didnt feel fear no more during shippuden as hes already a full fledged ninja, the first encounter with zabuza gives him a reality check to what a ninja is and defines his ninja way.
Ah yes, I remember when this show was about strategy and not blowing up continents and moons

The Zabuza arc is entertaining as hell. The thrill, excitement and suspense hooked me up with the show in the first place.
💯❤
This is easily one of the best fights in Naruto. Despite all of the flaws and being drawn out, the fight is very well done. That final combo with the shuriken is, at the same time: - A character point for both Naruto and Sasuke, as they work TOGETHER instead of fighting or trying to one-up each other, dividing a plan that requires both of their strengths combined; - As said above, a combination os both characters main strengths: Naruto uses shadow clone and transformation, while Sasuke has his mastery of shuriken. It also shows Naruto's smarter side, as he is able to think of this technique, and shows that Sasuke is capable of team work, which is a suppression of their past weaknesses; - Their victory isn't defeating Zabuza, but rather freeing Kakashi. There was no way they could beat a jonin, even if he had his hands tied, however they could annoy him just enough that he could make a mistake and loose hold of the one guy in that place that could be a real threat for him. This solidifies the power levels and the disparity between a jonin and 3 genin; - Their combo is very well thought and never leaves the realm of possibility. Everything used is either well known at that point or within the expect for the series. There are no asspulls, there are no last-minute power ups, no new abilities, no hidden training; - The combo is also very well presented. When you see it at first the visuals on the fuuma shuriken being deployed seem like just a special-ish intro for a new weapon, but when watching it a second time you can see it is actually foreshadowing their tactic: the slow-mo effect isn't just an effect, it's the second shuriken being deployed behind the first. The pose with the shuriken at a clear angle to the camera and so on, it all works as a sort of "magic trick", pulling your perspective and attention away until the final reveal, for us and for Zabuza.
You brought up good points. This battle showed naruto and Sasuke overcoming their weaknesses (battle smarts and teamwork respectively)
GGWP yo bro shut the fuck up
What do you mean his smarter side? Naruto wasn't smart academically, but his battle tactics were always extremely good(although not on shikamaru's level) The english dub made him sound and look so stupid
@@kiyoponnn Naruto up until that point didnt really show smartness.
@@aleksamilosevic8792 He did, you braindead dumbass. Did you even watch the video? And "smartness" isn't a word, so your opinion is trash
You know what angers me the most with late Shippuden and Boruto? It makes past ninjas feel weak in comparaison. During early Naruto, there was a definite scale of power and Zabuza was a very powerful shinobi that team 7 was only able to take down thanks to a great strategy. Nowaday, because the power escalation went way too high, Boruto could easily one shot Zabuza with his bullshit distance rasengan.
@*Floofy shibe* We like it or not, they made Boruto stronger and smarter than part 1 Naruto. So he might have given Zabuza a run for his money.
*Floofy shibe* boruto would clap zabuza
*Floofy shibe* boruto would clap because boruto would honestly clap any1 in the seires
Think Zabuza lost cause his heart wasn't in it anymore. Haku seemed to be holding back vs Sasuke and Naruto.
Prof. Toast just like Naruto shippuden, sudently they are all god like people, I missed old Naruto
Back in the days when kunais are still a threat...
They're still a threat, it just depends on who's using it and who's being used on
Kakashi almost killed Obito with a kunai :v
@@folliblanc2447 yeah but now boruto is, no u cant do that to isshiki he is a god, no ninjutsu can damage him, and u throw him a fucking kunai? lol u screwed boruto.
@@queueshit5137 yes throwing a Kunai at Isshiki works. It just depends on who’s throwing it. It has to be a full power Baryon Mode Naruto level character throwing because then it would be too fast for Isshiki to react to
Laughs in boroshiki
Just to highlight why I like this fight so much : It really put the training you undergo at the academy into action . We see Sasuke throw his Shuriken perfectly because he trained with Shuriken alot . We also see naruto throw his kunai perfectly ,highlighting the target practice training they did at the academy . Of course the shadow clone jutsu is a literal graduation test tool . And the best thing is showing how ninja fight with deception. This is seen in how Zabuza captured Kakashi and how Naruto and Sasuke freed him . It was simple but so much was going on
This is the kinda shit that got me I to the show. You didn't need a big ass power level, just some tools, a few ninja and a plan. It felt like I was watching actual ninja instead of Naruto ball z. Everything from the music, to the animation style, to the fighting. Boruto can't come close.
Back than when Ninja is all about technique and not just some power clash ...
Did you fuckin say Naruto Ball Z?? That’s pretty accurate
Boruto can't come close bc it's all about who makes the most powerful jutsu without proof of training
Well what actually got me to watch naruto although I am not so much of a huge fan of it as in I dont watch it as much was back then you felt like you were watching the equivalent of real ninjas something of this show back then was that it was special and it was mostly based on real ninja techniques and strategies I also loved how the balance was there with no insane power ups but I loved the jutsus but still I love the way the fights are animated till today because at least you can actually see them fighting and not just moving insanely fast you barely see thier hands although its really my brother who watches the show more I am not that into it as much as brother or cousin who also liled the show back when not that many people knew about naruto aka when it was new
look you can hate boruto and naruto shippuden all you want. But in Shippuden it was established that they were all training like hell, then gained massive power creep during the war. Obviously from a shounen series there will be power creep, and compared to literallly every other shounnen series it's powercreep was the most fair and still tried to keep it at a equilibrium to how strong the enemy is, while keep some level of tactics with art. Boruto is good, most are just to big of a fanboy for naruto to like it. They are kids with genuine talent, they have learned and are able to learn form the best, cause the best are still alive to teach them. They are inexperienced, even if their powerful. It has shown time and time again, how weak they really are even if they have all these amazing skills and jutsu. People hate on Boruto, cause they feel like he hasn't earned shit. That is literally the point of the series, he doesn't know anything, he is extremely talented and need to go on this journey. in retrospect, Naruto was a obnoxious kid who whined and whined, then did amazing things. Boruto is the same, except with a different personality and story. He is a kid who just doesn't understand what it means to be a ninja or the hardships that come with/from it. it honestly is a work of a art, for a sequal, a brilliant way to innovate a story and continue. It is by virtue the most accurate definition of a perfect sequel. It builds on the previous content, it creates its own story, it expands on the subject, it re-breathes previous established lore through character driven motives, previous content also shapes and builds future plot points and character development. If you don't like it, then your not a naruto fan, just a shonnen fuck boy.
Naruto felt like a completely different series back then. Zabuza and Kakashi, two Jonin, were considered to be among the best ninja in their respective villages. But when Kakashi got careless and Zabuza trapped him, his pupils had to work together to free their sensei, and it worked, because Zabuza underestimated them. Even the fight between Zabuza and Kakashi was very tame in comparison to the feats we see later on in this series. I remember how impressive it was when we saw Sasuke learn the chidori or the kage level combat between Orochimaru and Hiruzen. None of these fights from part 1 and early shippuden fit with the crazy shit we see later on in the series.
Thank god they don't fit with these fights, because these fights are complete borefest unlike what we saw later in Shippuden.
@@kyleward7417 Are you kidding? Those fights were way more interesting than most of those "Who has a greater Nuke"-festivals in Shippuden.

It’s sad to see that this fight is never considered one of the best Naruto fights in the series, since it wasn’t just a clash of brute strength, and the villain had a great backstory along with a good arch. This fight holds up as one of the best anime fights all time (in my opinion). Although this is early in Naruto I think it was the peak of the show, and really cemented the series as great.
I agree
we got the first demon fox in this arc, i was shivering in excitement when i saw it first in my childhood
4:43 Back in primary school, all of my friends watch naruto and during recess we would like to play naruto. The rule is simple anyone can do any jutsu in the naruto world but they need to be able to say the jutsu name in japanese. I remember watching this episode back to back just so I could try to memorize what sasuke is saying and then when the time comes I take 4 pencils, stack em together, hold it in my left hand say "fuuma shuriken kagehousha" then slowly with my other hand I'd move the pencil so it will look like that the shuriken is opening. Then of course I throw it at them.

Actually, the usage of strategy in Naruto Shippuden was even present in the war arc, like when Kakashi figured out how Kamui works, or like when Tobirama and Minato used Flying Raijin jutsu to teleport Naruto to Obito. It's just that the strategy wasn't used that much like in the first part, probably because the villains in War arc were so OP that they didn't even have to use it at all.
@@gabrielfarkas257 One of Naruto's smartest moments was realizing Juubito's weakness at the same time as the second Hokage. Maybe even before him.
@@gabrielfarkas257 No, that's just how they justified it within the story, but it's still a far cry from what we'd seen before. The power level of the 'average' jonin was established quite well with the display of might from Zabuza and Kakashi. Then later on there are hundreds of dudes who can use mooncrash vaporization no-jutsu because their grandfather had a frog who had special eyes or something. Regardless of the explanations, it's still asspull bullshit.

@@marcorodriguez6240 thats right i saw it
Boruto will know how great his dad is.
This is actually one of my favorites arcs, this really make it look like the character were growing and becoming closer by facing difficulties together. Naruto always had a well defined power cap all the way up to the "Sasuke leaving the village" arc, after that it just went all the way to the moon, quite literally, at the end of the anime the previous kages were actually looking pretty weak and Naruto/Sasuke to op
Power cap was a thing up to the Great War imo
Second that
Boruto cannot bring back the OG feel of the original Naruto. The music, the dialogues, this was a masterpiece.😀👍👍
I thought that the Land of Waves arc and the early Chūnin Exams arc had a feel that got lost later on. Kinda like how One Piece lost its special feel after the East Blue Saga.
Boruto, where a mere genin fresh out of academy can tank a kage level threat. Amegakure being the antagonist would've been great, as to remind Naruto of his broken promises. Disclaimer, I haven't Boruto properly yet but 200 episodes is kind of a drag.

Can't imagine the level of pride Kakashi must have had in his students for turning the tides on such a dangerous opponent.
Gotta love how kakashi emphasized teamwork and playing to one's individual strengths and Naruto boy here went and demonstrated both. He used his penchant for pranks and tricks to decieve Zabuza as well as his teammate Sasuke's insight and shuriken skill all to come up with an off the cuff plan not to defeat Zabuza as he might expect with the boastful talk but to free the Jonin that could(a ninja must see through deception). Its genuinely a damn good strategy and totally in line with what a real ninja would do in such a situation. Moreover it demonstrates that Naruto is not a loser or incapable of growth. But rather that he just needs someone to believe in him and he can do incredible things. Kinda sucks how the series devolved into "my dyed energy nuke is stronger than yours" but ehhh. Can't win em all. I guess the series was never really about the fights themselves
OG Naruto feels...different for the lack of better word. It's just power creep becomes off the scale later on in Shippuden.

The characters exist SOLELY for the protagonist to fight. Plot doesn't even matter anymore. This reminds me of Dragon Ball, when it was said that Frieza was the emperor of the Universe, then suddenly, more powerful characters just show up for some goddamn reason. Fuck Boruto. Boruto isn't canon because it isn't written by Kishimoto and that's a fact.
I feel how nostalgia filling up my veins, warming up my heart by the memories from the time, when you breaching through the whole town from school and rushing in to your house on full speed to your tv and putting down yourself on the floor hearing this amazing voice of the first opening... And it feels awesome...
I think this kind of fights catapult Naruto into worldwide success, since most of the Anime at the time is about power-ups. Naruto is the only anime that use surprise tactics and strategy. I wish they stay consistent.
This was the part where I fell in love with this anime. When Naruto says like write my name in your book that gives me goosebumps Everytime. Best anime for me.
Ahh, back then when ninja tools could at least make an impact to something. Poor Ten Ten.
OG Naruto will always be a timeless classic
People here be like "ah the good old days of ninjutsu rather than literal kaiju", somehow forgetting that this wasn't that long before Naruto and Gaara fought using literal kaiju.
Bro, I know I'm a little late, but just wanted to say... THANK YOU!!!
I watched few minutes of this exact episode on TV when I was little. Then I had to go to a hostel in a different city for 7 years and there was no TV, no internet there. I came back, did engineering, got a job and I see this exact clip on youtube. I got a feeling that I've seen this somewhere. So I download the whole 900 episodes, 5 films of naruto and Shippuden. Best goddamn decision I ever took.
The time where kakashi panicking, where naruto is naive and weak, where sasuke still scared, where sakura still a young lady, and now we have boruto.. how old am i?
Boruto is straight garbage compare to this
@@RaggenZ Far from it
@DamtexxYT No, one of the strongest female characters in Naruto
@Chris Hmmm that might be true, But Boruto still garbage ;)
@Chris imagine called people garbage and still respond them, won't that makes you garbage as well kid?
I was 15, when i began to watch naruto. I had tried many times in childhood to run like a ninja. Later it turned to be a awesome memories. Now I'm 24 still watching this wonderful strategic fight episode.
This was the find of fight that made Naruto special (for its time) these sort of quick shadow boxing matches of wit and fortitude, which I loved, much more than the giant Kaiju battles we would get towards the end, still good but this was PRIME
Fuma Shuriken was so awesome
Maaan I got the same feelin when I first watched this 15 years ago.. thank you
This is what Boruto needs. A long fight where strategy is the most important. Heavy atmosphere, fear of characters, analysis during the fight, just fucking ninja fight. God, let me see it again. If the fights were still like this, imagine how epic it would be to see Boruto and Sarada work together in a fight against Zabuza's like opponent.
It's rare to find Naruto videos don't don't have 2,365 cuts in them. Thank for uploading this one
4:28 This scene was small but I remember getting so hyped when I saw this. Can't lie, I still get goosebumps.
This is what drew me to Naruto so much the fact that he was so outmatched and he knew it yet he would never give up. Man the headband scene still gives me chills
This fight shows how it's done. They faced an unbeatable opponent for them. And they knew they couldn't defeat him in am actual fight. But with strategy they were able to set Kakashi free. Later on even high level Jonin could not even put a scratch on the main antagonists. Strategy didn't matter anymore if you were just an "average" elite Ninja. And that's sad.
Who needs strategy when you're a god reincarnate?
When that theme played at 4:40 I know you all got hit by a blast of nostalgia. The good ol' days.
Can I have the theme name?
So true 🥲
Bad situation
@@orion0927 its called bad situation
Sakura stands at the back being useless
Hahaha, sad but true
Yeah bro
Oh come one, not completely useless , she said " sasuke kun!" Once, thats the most powerful justu ever. XD
I'm not worried she'll get stronger later on
That was an excellent summary of her entire character
1:02 ah yes, good ol' flashbacks to earlier in the episode.
Pretty much
Okay, I will join the people saying THIS is what got them into Naruto. This is what got me into Naruto. I hadn't read the manga and knew nothing about the series and honestly, I like it how back then you had the feeling that some important character might die, like when Sasuke was almost killed by Haku. You knew they had the superpower of being a main character, but there was still some type of tension that made you wonder "but what if they DO kill them off?". But then they added "main character resurrection no jutsu" and it took away a lot of the series' charm, not to mention how it all became about flashy, colorful jutsus and brawn over brain.
The Land of Waves arc is the only thing worth watching in Naruto.
3:30 his Susanoo was already foreshadowed
Such a golden scene, never gets old
The Fuuma Shuriken, i remember that scene being the most badass scene ever me as a kid saw this and was out of words best childhood memories
notice how he didnt mention sakura in the title
She dint do anything
Wait she was in the battle
Wait.....Sakura was there?
Wait, Sakura appears in the show?
Wait who is this Sakura ? Never heard of her in this show
Instead of making demigods they should've done more Zabuza types. Skilled in physical combat, ninjutsu mainly as 'minor' effects, focus on weaponry enhancing the characters (Fuuma Shuriken, Executioner Sword, Kunai, etc)
I like how the Water Prison reformed Kakashi's hair like the wet cancelled out
That animation and art were brutal
This was the mission that got people to watch the series even more!!
The good times back when kunai was a dangerous weapon that could kill. Today's character literally bounce the knives with their skin
OG Naruto when it was one of the best shounens, and still is. This arc with Zabuza had it all: True ninja battles employing tactics and tools, true character development and an overall grounded and believable world.
that fight was what brought me seriously into Naruto. Oh the memories 🥰
I remember watching this on Toonami I couldn't wait for this show every Saturday night. Best addition with DBZ in my childhood
Back when fight still makes sense, good musics and now
This fight against Zabuza was what sold me on naruto and anime in general
風魔手裏剣のシーン小さい時好きだったな ナルトとサスケのコンビネーションよき
めっちゃ分かる！
Zabuza and Haku - skilled assassins that killed over 100 people Sasuke and Naruto - 2 emotional orphans teams up and defeats them.
This is how Jonin fights, Forget Konohamaru and Udon of Boruto.
3:52 ok this single frame of Zabuza's eyes gave me some heart attack
T R D J what’s that supposed to signify?
@@Kjf4runner nothing, he just looks scary
