I need to be trained in close combat.

I prefer sharp weapons over blunt.

I'm available at any time.

You do realize that a blunt weapon in the right hands can easily take down a sharp one, right?

[ While he knows others have offered, he's already going to be training his own shinki on this sort of thing, so it isn't as if he'd have to free up time or anything... ]

It's not a matter of what weapon you play with. [ Oh hell, what was that message Iruka had given them ages ago? ] "If you lack heaven, seek wisdom and be prepared. If you lack earth, run through the fields and seek out advantages. If you have both heaven and earth, only then can you succeed." [ Not the exact phrasing, but the gist is there. Really though, don't these people know anything? Except he forgets that not everyone grew up doing this stuff from the time they could walk. ]

Incredible. You're both pretentious and wasting my time. How do you do it?

that should've been text. sorry about that!!

[vindicavi]

Hardly. That's a saying from home that defines what's needed to be a shinobi. The same logic applies anywhere, whether it's daily life or learning to fight.

i figured!!

[deniles]

Here's what happened;

1. I was looking for someone to train me in close combat, weapons of any sort

2. You commented saying that it didn't matter.

3. You posted a quote that means no sense

Any further questions?

Re: i figured!!

[vindicavi]

You showed a marked preference for one over the other. All I said was not to ignore the one you don't want.

And it does make sense if you read it properly.

[deniles]

A preference, not a disregard.

No. Not really. Not that I have time to, of course. Busy training.

[vindicavi]

[ And the not having time to is why he really thinks you're going to end up falling on your face, Niles. Take time to learn the things you don't know! ]

You remind me of someone I know at home. He didn't care to learn anything but what he wanted, and if he didn't have the Kyuubi inside him, he'd have ended up exactly where he started: dead last.

[deniles]

Someone is teaching me hand to hand combat. I suggest you think before you speak, you idiot.

[vindicavi]

Any loser can learn to throw a few punches and kicks... and I'd suggest you watch who you address so rudely, idiot.

[ Don't mind him, he's still sore that he forgot his own shinki couldn't fight and let him get beat up while his own attention was focused elsewhere. ]

[deniles]

Sorry, shall I call you Sir Idiot, then? Maybe King of the Idiots?

[vindicavi]

[ There are times when he wishes he could see the person on the other end. This is one of those times, but only because right now, he really wants to set him on fire. ]

The name is Kali, god of death, time, and doomsday. And if I really wanted to, I could break you with one hand.

[...because that's all he has is one. ]

[deniles]

Dear god, how have you not cut yourself on your 'edge'?

And you won't. For what? Calling you names? Pansy.

[vindicavi]

[ He honestly has no clue what Niles is talking about. Edge? He... doesn't have any? His sword is long gone, and the only thing he has that's sharp at the moment is the form that Itachi takes. ]

Why would you think I need a reason?

[deniles]

[Oh you precious idiot.]

Because killing someone for no reason is completely and utterly stupid and pointless.

[vindicavi]

[ Honestly, he agrees with you, Niles, he's just annoyed. ]

"Because I felt like it" is looking like a perfectly valid reason to me.

[deniles]

You're fully willing to admit that you're going to kill me, for no reason, in front of the entire network.

Please. Do continue. I'm fascinated by your stupidity.

[vindicavi]

Want and will are two entirely different things.

And you must not be training very hard if you have time to provoke others.

[deniles]

I'm in the midst of a break.
