[edit] Personality

Genma is shown to very calm, collected, prideful and "casual". He is never seen being boisterous or lost in difficult situations; he hates Orochimaru for power - playing.^[1]

[edit] Part I

[edit] Chunin Exams arc

After Hayate's death, Genma referees the final round matches of the Chunin Exams. He battles Baki during Orochimaru's attempted invasion of Konoha. However, their fight is interrupted when Orochimaru calls off the invasion.

[edit] Search for Tsunade arc

Later, in the anime, he and Aoba are assigned to announce Tsunade's inauguration as the Fifth Hokage.

[edit] Sasuke Retrieval arc

Genma is returning to the village from a mission with Raido Namiashi, Iwashi Tatami and Shizune, when he and Raidou encounter the Sound Four. In order to defeat Raido and Genma, the Sound Four activate level two of their cursed seals, leaving Genma gravely injured and in serious need of medical attention. In addition to this, Genma and Raido barely had any chakra left.

[edit] Part II

[edit] Rescue Gaara arc

Genma appears along with Naruto's loved ones on the right at the very end beside Anko in his dream where he gives his hand out to Gaara after he is revived by Chiyo

[edit] Fire Temple arc

Genma's Part II debut is in this arc where he is seen giving out orders to some Chunin during Furido's attack on the village.

[edit] Invasion of Pain arc

Later, Genma appears with Yamato and other Jonin helping to restore the village after Pain and Naruto's fight.

[edit] Abilities

Genma is known for having been on difficult missions and participation in handful fights. Still, Genma has never been seen in combat. He can spit the senbon from his mouth as a projectile with enough force to deflect a kunai. Given that the Sound Four decided to activate their cursed seals in order to defeat Genma, it is likely that he is a formidable fighter.

[edit] Trivia

• Genma said during the Chunin Exams that Naruto had a "mean left hook". But at that time, Naruto was doing an uppercut, not a left hook though it was the left hand which was in use.
• According to the Naruto Official Databook:
  • Genma's registration number is 010203.
  • Food he likes best is pumpkin broth and he hates spinach.
  • Genma's hobby is traveling.
  • His favourite phrase is: "Actions speak louder than words".
