"Bad news, Lord Yagyū Jubei has been killed by Battosai."
"Battosai is a natural-born killer, she is not a hero at all."
"Lord Yagyū was such a good person, how could Battosai bring herself to do it....."
"An executioner is an executioner. Her previous methods of killing were so cruel. I told you there's no way she's a hero....."
......
The next day, as new announcements were posted throughout Heian-kyo, the city became lively again. Just days ago, Battosai was praised by tens of thousands, almost hailed directly as the savior of Japan, but this time, she remained the topic of discussion, though the perception of her completely reversed.
And all of this was solely because of the death of Yagyū Jubei.
Unlike Battosai, who had just ventured out in recent days, Yagyū Jubei was an established Sword Master, and one with a very high reputation.
