Konohagakure's Team 7 (or whatever you call yourselves now):

When are you available? I want to talk to you.

Uchiha Sasuke

Abarai Renji:

It was recommended that I speak with you. Where can I find you?

Uchiha Sasuke

The other patients fighting the large-fisted beast upstairs:

Were you able to examine the room? If so, are you willing to share information?

Uchiha Sasuke

Momochi Zabuza:

Despite yesterday's interruption, I wish to continue our conversation. Unless you are distressed by this prospect, I will be looking for you.

Why not?

Guilty?

It was unpleasant.

You survived. That's what counts.

How many have you killed?

It was a foregone conclusion that I would survive.

I do not know. Certain styles of fighting make it difficult to keep track of casualties unless one has learned to consciously avoid killing, and it was rare that I was the one to take final stock of the field.

You sound pretty sure of yourself for a runt.

I would be a very difficult kill.

Hn. I wonder how long you would last against my Haku this time.

I am also interested. Without interference this time, as well.

You don't honestly think you can beat him, do you?

Why shouldn't I?

There is no possible way you could defeat him. He is the strongest and most perfect shinobi I have ever seen. You are pathetic and useless. Nothing compared to him.

It would be interesting to compare how times have changed, wouldn't it?

I know how it would end, very similarly to how it ended before.

Only this time I wouldn't let him keep you alive.

You are unaware of the details then, as you are unaware of the situation now.

Explain it to me then.

I have no interest in walking down memory lane. You can ask Naruto if you want the details.

As for the present situation, again, I do not intend to explain in a public forum.

I know enough about what happened 'back then'. I was a little curious about why you think you could defeat Haku now, but I think I would prefer to see it.

Some other time though.

If we can find the opportunity, I will of course be willing to test myself against Haku. Unfortunately, this place is does not seem to welcome sparring, let alone fighting, and there are more important matters at hand during the nightshift.

I wouldn't want to waste Haku's energy on you either. When we get out of this place.

Leaving will occur much faster with cooperation.

It might occur even faster if you were dead.

I fail to see how my death would facilitate your escape.

That's an illogical statement. Cutting down the number of individuals attempting to facilitate an information network comprised of like individuals wishing to extract themselves from their current environment would inevitably delay any attempt at extrication by a marginal percentage at least.

One could also argue that Uchiha Sasuke could potentially be a vital stimulus to a successful attempt at escape, thus exterminating him has the potential to cause what some people here would call the "Domino Effect", essentially an easy way to explain the matter of a cascading failure within a system of interconnected parts. The termination of a preceding function (or person in this case) can trigger failure in successive parts and functions. I wouldn't think you'd want to be responsible for the crash of an entire system, especially when we have no redundant parts to lessen the blow his theoretical "execution."

I was thinking that it would mean that there would be less time wasted on petty fights and useless conversations.

Potentially, but it's a wasted expenditure of energy best directed elsewhere. And if the latter argument is a real possibility, and it is I assure you, it would be potentially hazardous and quite likely to shut down the entire system that's just beginning to function effectively.
