Following their battle with Zabuza in Naruto, Vol. 2, Kakashi needs time to heal. Instead of traveling back to their village, he decides to assign tasks to his three young charges. Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto must learn how to use their chakra to climb a tree by only using their feet. Whereas Sakura is able to accomplish this feat right away, both Naruto and Sasuke are stumped. Naruto devotes himself to learning the art of manipulating his chakra,
They learn the story of Inari, and how his father was a hero appreciated by all. He rescued the town during a flooding, but was executed by the evil narco-lord Gato because he opposed the leadership. Ever since, the village has been growing poorer and more desperate, which is why it is important for Tuzana to finish his bridge, so that the village no longer has to pay Gato.
As Kakashi suspected, however, Zabuza survived the attack, and he has also healed enough to challenge Kakashi and his students, with the help of his own apprentice, Haku. As the two groups meet again in battle, the element of surprise concerning their abilities has been lost ... or has it?
The story continues in Naruto, Vol. 4.
