As a well noted veteran shinobi, Genma is known for taking part in difficult missions because of his skills.<ref name="d2"/> Though he has only been seen in a handful of fights, it is known that he is able to spit the senbon from his mouth as a projectile with enough force to deflect a [[kunai]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 185, page 4</ref> Given his status as a guard for the Hokage, and the fact that the [[Sound Four]] had to activate their [[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|cursed seals]] in order to defeat Genma and [[Raidō]], it is likely that he is a formidable fighter. Even after the fight, while the Sound Four were resting, they noted that they wouldn't have won without using the second stage of their cursed seals.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 185, page 2</ref>

Genma has also shown some aptitude with [[Space–Time Ninjutsu]] as he is able to use the [[Flying Thunder God Technique]] which was taught to him by the [[Fourth Hokage]] due to their being part of the [[Hokage Guard Platoon]]. However, unlike Minato, Genma has to use this technique in conjunction with Raidō and another shinobi.<ref name="chpt562"/>

During the [[Fourth Hokage]]'s reign, he was taught the [[Flying Thunder Formation Technique]] in order to teleport to the [[Hokage]]'s side when needed.

After [[Hayate]]'s death, Genma proctored the final round matches of the Chūnin Exams. After [[Neji]]'s battle with [[Naruto]], Genma tells him that even a caged bird can eventually free themselves. As the invasion is launched, he enquires whether or not Orochimaru was leading the assault as he faces off against [[Baki]]. After Gaara retreats from the arena he advises Sasuke to chase after him telling him that he was already at the [[chūnin]] level and to do what he must in order to protect Konoha. His fight is however interrupted when the invasion is called off.

Genma Shiranui (不知火ゲンマ, Shiranui Genma) is a tokubetsu jōnin of Konohagakure and an elite bodyguard to the Hokage.

Background

Team Chōza

Team Chōza competing in the chūnin exams.

When Genma became a genin, he was put on a team with Might Guy and Ebisu, under the leadership of Chōza Akimichi.[4] During part of their chūnin exams, his team confronted Team Minato.[5] At one point, they were confronted by a generation of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, only to be saved by Might Duy.[6] Other than that, not much is known about Genma's background except for the fact that he is an elite guard to the Hokage. During his time serving under the Fourth Hokage, he was taught the Flying Thunder Formation Technique.[7]

Personality

Genma is shown to be very calm, impartial, collected, proud and casual on his actions. He is never seen being boisterous or lost in difficult situations and is confident enough to take charge of large groups of ninja. It was also stated that he hates Orochimaru for power-playing.[1] He is also a jovial person, prone to wisecracking at times. When Shikaku Nara contacted him, he made it a point to first tell Genma not to make fun of the situation.[8]

Appearance

Genma Blazing

Genma's full appearance.

Genma has brown, shoulder-length hair which hangs about his face and brown eyes. He wears his forehead protector like a bandanna, and the standard jōnin outfit and always has his trademark senbon in his mouth. As a genin, he wore a dark, baggy outfit with a hooded red and black jacket. He also wore a black choker, a strap around his leg, and a senbon in his mouth.[5][9]

Abilities

As a well noted veteran shinobi, Genma is known for taking part in difficult missions because of his skills.[2] He was able to hold his own against an elite jōnin like Baki, as seen when he threw two kunai to stop two of the latter's mid-air. While physically fatigued due to a prior mission, with the assistance of Raidō Namiashi, he was able to force the Sound Four into activating the second stage of their cursed seals.[10] His abilities are further attested by the fact that he was placed in the Hokage Guard Platoon.

During the Fourth Hokage's reign, he was taught the Flying Thunder Formation Technique in order to teleport to the Hokage's side when needed. He performs this technique in collaboration with his fellow guards, Raidō and Iwashi Tatami.[7] He is also able to spit a senbon from his mouth with enough force to deflect a kunai.[11]

As Mei and A engaged Madara in battle, Iwashi prematurely anticipated his defeat, Genma however, noted the extent of damage inflicted upon the surroundings by the enemy and warns his partner to stay focused while Raidō commented that there is no way to just force their way through. Dodai then enlisted their help to go after the Kabuto-controlled who had began to emerge from the debris. The four men then give chase to the Tsuchikage but their target is soon slapped away by A during the Raikage's assault on Madara. As the battle between the Kage and Madara waged on, they continued to give chase to the evasive Mū.

With the Impure World Reincarnation released, Genma watched alongside his comrades as Mū was enveloped in a light of sorts before beginning to deconstruct.
