（ this follows the arrival of the newcomers, simple and direct — ）

If anyone wishes to spar, or finds themselves in need of training in weapons use or martial arts, come to the training room between 0400 and 0900 on any day that suits you.

Whether you possess extranormal powers, skills or abilities or not is irrelevant to my offer. You need only disclose what you are comfortable with.

Hm.

（ is the only acknowledgement he offers. ）

Very well. Then let us begin.

（ he'll fight at that level as well. sparring without chakra has become more common than not among the people here — there are not many people who can match him in matters of speed.

doesn't even occur to him that he should maybe

offer info in return

look, he's private. ）

[Well, that was almost a let down. He shouldn't have expected anything else though. Somehow he was already beginning to pick up on that. Itachi just was the silent and aloof type.

That was all right with Zhao. He dropped down into a practiced stance, very Chinese martial art form. He waited but it occurred to him that Itachi was probably also the patient type so for once he might have to act first.

So he did. Zhao moved forward and, eyes gauging, looked for a point of attack. He liked to open with something simple until he knew what his opponent was capable. Then he'd get into the fancier, crazy stuff to throw them off. He began with a few quick punches, almost boxer like but with a more...feline feel.]
