Chapter 869

Among them, the Executioner's Blade was "generously" delegated by the Mizukage to the ninja training school.

The Executioner's Blade would become this cohort's chief student's weapon, and that chief student himself would be chosen from among the candidates who had just graduated.

The exam's only rule: kill every single person you encounter, until the very end…

The browless oddball Momochi Zabuza, who can still speak, still draw breath, and still stand here gripping the Executioner's Blade, was the last survivor at the time.

Without a doubt, he killed everyone — to be precise, every single one of his cohort-mates!

This was hardly a feat worth being proud of, and Zabuza himself was painfully aware of that, his hands drenched in his companions' blood.

· ·······Begging for flowers····· ·····

So he would kill anyone who brought this matter up.

"That's right, now all of us here know about this. Aren't you scared, little Jue?"

Jiraiya made a funny face at little Jue sitting across the table, but clearly the little loli's attention was entirely on the ice cream that Yuhi Mei had just made herself.

Even if Jiraiya talked the hind leg off a donkey, she didn't hear a word.

"If I hadn't thoroughly understood the gap in strength between us, I would definitely chop you into seventeen pieces!"

Zabuza said stiffly in a flat, rote-reciting tone.

"That's right! Exactly! And also, and also, add in that passage I told you about!"

Beside Zabuza, Young Yuanzi was hopping about with excitement over his compromise, and then made the even more outrageous demand that Zabuza keep reading aloud the bizarre lines her little brain had just come up with.

Namely that line: "Back of the head, right eye to the lips, right upper arm, right forearm, right ring finger, left palm…"

I admire that she could repeat it twice without a single mistake.

Perhaps sensing that Zabuza had reached the brink of being annoyed to death, little Mei beside them was in a wonderful mood; she carried the freshly made ice cream over and handed it to the endlessly chattering Young Yuanzi.

"Young Yuanzi, my lord, have some ice cream first!"

"Oh oh oh! It's my favorite strawberry ice cream!"

"Then tell me, why exactly does Konoha need to mobilize one of the Three Legendary Sannin to surround me?"

Since I once failed in my assassination of the puppet Water Country daimyo and fled to the Fire Country as a rogue ninja, it seems I haven't done much…

At last his ears were free of noise, and Zabuza finally had a chance to voice the question in his heart. He glanced at the Executioner's Blade, which Jiraiya had cleanly sliced clean through and broken into two pieces, and inside his heart it felt as though ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping back and forth.
