Okay, I do practice with Mangetsu, but together it's a stalemate. I know all his tricks and he knows all of mine! And that's no fun, you know. Kisame's a dipshit, but at least the ugly bastard's good with a blade. It's why you and I practice too, isn't it! [ Scratches his head, grumbling about it.

He definitely perks up at Sasuke wanting to know more about Mangetsu and his interests. Walking will never interrupt him!!! ] Maa, he's the same as always -- you gotta get Itachi to hang out with him more, he's started going out with some older guys we know; well, you met Zabuza-senpai.

[ Throwing his hands behind his head, Suigetsu wrinkles his nose. ] Senpai's got some kinda thing for pretty, young men. He's like, old though. I think he's outta university. So it's gross.
