In _Naruto_ series, I've heard the term "the Village of the Bloody Mist" when
referring to "the Hidden Mist" many times.

What does it represent?

Why was the hidden mist called the village of the Bloody Mist?


[Kirigakure](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kirigakure), the Village Hidden in
the Mist, is know as Bloody Mist Village due to the cruel nature of their
academy’s graduation exam. In order for their academy student to graduate,
they had to fight to the death and only those who survived would move on to
being a shinobi.

However, this gradation method was eventually discontinued after Zabuza
slaughtered an entire graduating year of students
