For most people spines are non-transferable. Alternative uses are largely less efficient even for the most unimpressive of human examples.

Makes a good hanger.

Less so than an actual hanger.

Less a waste my way.

Bone has nutritional value enough to justify a hearty soup instead.

Takes long, stewing.

Timing differs on cooking method, however the usual recommendation is to begin the process when other tasks are available to maximise efficiency.

You stupid enough to leave a fire out long, start with your own spine for stock.

As a point of fact I do not have a spine. If I did, I could counter that if you are making a fire in a situation where hiding it is paramount you should refrain on penalty of becoming soup stock.

But as I don't, I shall not.

Ah - a spine is a terrible thing to waste!

Seeing another.

Eh, how do you waste a spine?

Give it to a coward. Sounds right to your ear?

It could be worse, Zabuza-san. Your's could be finding amusement in awful things to do to you.

Let them smile, boy. Shows their teeth before you take them.

I already know of her teeth and how she works, there is nothing more for me to learn about her that I have not learned in the past... about six years or so. It is a strange place, her mind, being stuck with shinobi from Konoha, Kumo, Suna, and one from some place called Oto.

Learn what you can. Steal what you can't.

Pretty brave of them to take you back up at all, though, wouldn't you say?

Got ears. You heard me say it?

Just saying — the mere fact doesn't make it that much of a waste.

Yo. Copy Ninja. You hide a kunai in forest soil when you're playing scout, because you're kinda green and weak in the knees and if the big bad boys find you before you find them, you need some cheap little trick to save your skin. Sure. Why not. You're new.

Five years later, you still need the kunai. What's it make you?

Alive.

[ he shrugs faintly, as if the question — or is it the answer? — isn't as loaded as it actually is. ]

Isn't it better to be the man who acknowledges his limits and accounts for it, than the man who doesn't and pays for it?

...heh. That a question you ask of the man who paid for it?

You. Your boy. How's he?

You paid for it deciding it was worth it. There's a difference.

[ there's a tiny part of kakashi that wants to ask him, which boy? but he refrains. hates that he still has to remind himself of this. ]

He's been better. [ which is saying something. ] You missed a lot.
