We all know that Zabuza and Haku's deaths helped create Naruto's ninja way. But there's more to it which is actually quite clever of Kishimoto...you know how Naruto's greatest power is his capability of understanding people? This didn't just come out of nowhere, he never empathised with Sasuke or anyone else before the Zabuza mission. It's not just from his past as the 9 tails kid- it's the fact that Naruto saw a different side to someone who was supposedly his enemy. As he says at the end of the arc, "I actually quite liked them!"
On his first proper mission Naruto learnt to empathise with people, good or bad and see different points of view. Without Haku and Zabuza's sacrifices to protect and avenge each other, Naruto would've never gone onto become the ninja he is today. Gaara would still be the psycho jinchuuriki, Neji wouldnt have died free, Sai would still work for the Foundation, Tsunade would not be Hokage and Nagato would've killed everyone in the Leaf. It's this understanding that will also eventually create peace in the Ninja world.
This is why Zabuza and Haku are two of my favourite characters. The seemingly pointless and trivial first arc may seem boring but it's pretty much one of the most important moments as it forms the entire point of the story. Love this.
