Haku uses it on the bridge in the Land of Waves: he raises a dome of ice mirrors around Sasuke and moves between them at a speed that seems instantaneous, attacking with needles from every direction. Naruto joins the fight to help and gets trapped as well. Sasuke's Sharingan begins to follow his movements, but it cannot copy a hereditary ability. Handling water and wind separately does not automatically grant Haku's Ice Style either.","pos":25},{"h":"Haku's past","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-29","t":"Haku tells his story: in the Land of Water, people with a kekkei genkai were feared and persecuted, because they were blamed for the civil wars. His mother had the ability, and when his father found out, the family was torn apart in tragedy and Haku was left alone. Zabuza found him and gave him a purpose, and Haku decided to live as his tool. The work does not name his parents, and the profile does not invent them. More than a power, his ability was the source of his isolation.","pos":29},{"h":"Limits and end","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-32","t":"The mirrors have a limit: Haku has to sustain them with chakra and keep moving nonstop. When Naruto releases the Nine-Tails' chakra, he shatters the mirrors and beats Haku, who asks him to kill him. Instead, Haku steps in to take the Chidori Kakashi aimed at Zabuza and dies protecting him. Zabuza dies at his side after facing Gatō. The technique did not save him: his story shows that the worth of Ice Style lay in the loyalty of the one who used it.","pos":32},{"h":"Haku revived","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-524","t":"In the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kabuto revives Haku and Zabuza with the Impure World Reincarnation. Both ask what became of Naruto and Kakashi, but Kabuto erases their personalities so they fight without hesitation. Haku uses ice again: he pins Kakashi down so Zabuza can attack him, though Kakashi dodges the blow and the two revived ninja end up captured. His ability is the same; what changes is that he no longer uses it of his own will.","pos":524}],"characters":["haku"],"related":["chakra","kekkei-genkai"],"reference":"Reading guide for the series indicated.
