all by himself. Why?

naruto
Why was Kakashi Hatake doing all of the hard work in the episode when they first fought Zabuza?


At that time, the members of Team 7 has just passed from the Academy, they
were just kids. Sakura couldn't help much because she was very weak, she
hadn't learnt medical ninjustsu to reinforce her punches. Sasuke may have been
a bright child but he was still an amateur and he hadn't awakened his
Sharingan. Even if he had awakened it, Zabuza was a formidable opponent, one
of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. And Naruto didn't know any jutsu other than
Shadow Clones, and he didn't have control over Kurama's power. But Naruto and
Sasuke did fight against Haku if not Zabuza. It's obvious that the strongest
team member Kakashi should fight against Zabuza since he's so strong.

P.S. I think you have not watched the Naruto series and you've only watched
the Shippuden series.

If you are talking of the very first fight that happened between Zabuza and
Team 7 then you are talking of the incident when they were still escorting the
builder back to the 'Land of Waves'. In that case there are a couple of things
to consider. First, the trio of the Team 7 genins were fresh out of the
academy and this was their first mission which was meant to be C or D class
but turned to be a A class mission. Second, Naruto might have just taken the
oath to never fallback from a fight when they were attacked before by the
brother assassins from the Mist but the essence was he was still a child who
could not control his chakra well and only had one proper move which was the
Shadow Clone Jutsu. At the same time though Sasuke was smart and talented, his
experience was quite lackluster in front of Zabuza. As for Sakura, she was not
at all in the race to begin with, even thiugh she had better chakra control
then the other two. So it made sense that Kakashi fought one on one with
Zabuza. Even after that though it was not as if Naruto and Sasuke did not lend
a hand with their combo-sneak attack by helping Kakashi Hatake out of the
tough spot when he gets caught in the Water prison of Zabuza's creation.
