“Thanks,” Genma said. “It was a long patrol today, and lunch was a rat bar and some weird-ass pickled quail eggs Imahara brought and inflicted on us all. Uchiha Yusuke just about yacked his back up.”

Raidou’s wrinkled nose expressed his opinion on that succinctly.

“Let’s see, what am I bringing to the team?” Genma said, as he rummaged in the cupboard. “I’m a strong ninjutsu user, and I have a few specialty jutsu that involve metal manipulation. It’s not a bloodline or anything, just a blend of earth and fire jutsu to manipulate elemental metal.”

The jars and boxes neatly filling Raidou’s cabinets suggested Raidou was a dedicated foodie. “Is everything in here fair game?” Genma asked, holding up a cellophane packet of dried autumn mushrooms. “If you’ve got eggs, I’ll cook us both some.”

“In the fridge,” Raidou said. “Go on, what else?”

Genma set the mushrooms soaking in a bowl of water, and scrambled eggs in a second bowl, seasoning them with mirin and soy sauce and a couple of interesting smelling herb powders he found in Raidou’s cabinet.

“Field medic. You know that already. Assassin. More of the ‘kill from the shadows’ tradition than a shock and awe guy. I prefer throwing weapons—senbon and kunai mostly—and I use poisons on my weapons pretty often.”

Raidou gave him a flat look. Tell me something I haven’t already figured out.

“I’m organized, good at trail reading, pretty intuitive about people, and I can make a mean omelet?” He chopped up the softened mushrooms with a flourish and diced in an onion for good measure, twirling Raidou’s kitchen knife like a kunai before scraping everything into the eggs. “Is this where I’m supposed to tell you my strengths and weaknesses? My chakra stamina is moderately high, and my finesse is high, but my physical strength is a little under par. I kick ass at ninjutsu and seals, but I’m only average at genjutsu and taijutsu, which is why I’m a specialist, not a regular jounin.”

Raidou listened carefully, nodding and “mhmm”-ing at the appropriate places, clearly taking mental notes. When Genma ran out of steam, Raidou said, “I was actually thinking more— okay, I know what I did as a lieutenant, but I'm not going to be the exact same kind of captain as my previous captain. And I figure you're not going to be the same kind of lieutenant as I was. I want to figure out the best way for us to work together, so we cover everything, and we're not doing double-duty trying to cover each other's jobs. Make sense?”

Oh.

“Yeah, makes perfect sense.”

Genma felt only a little bit like an idiot as he flipped the omelet.

“As lieutenant on Hajime’s team, I was responsible for all the logistical stuff we needed for missions, so Hajme could focus on mission planning and execution. I made sure we had maps and forms and supplies. And since I’m a field medic, I ended up doing a lot of minor medical care that I guess teams without a dedicated field medic send to the internal medical office. So I keep a fully stocked med kit in the office as well as one in my go bag.”

“Between Hatake's eye and Ueno's chakra, you might see some more medical oddness with this team than most,” Raidou said thoughtfully. “I can't speak to Tousaki yet.”

“I’m not touching that eye,” Genma said. “Not unless he’s going to lose it if I don’t do something. That’s way above my pay grade.”

Raidou laughed.

“When you read his file though, if there’s a note in there for treating medics about it, give me a heads up?”

“Absolutely.”

“As for Ueno—What is up with her chakra? Is it unstable? I had to light her cigarette for her on the wall the other day. I guess if there are medical notes in her file, I’ll need them, too, if anything about her chakra affects potential field treatment.”
