Heh, of course.... you can't work properly without having at least some idea of who your comrades are, can you? Especially when you're handling combat situation like those.
[Kisame had heard in advance about these, too--he still doesn't like the idea, but he's at least resigned to it, by now. There's really nothing he can do about his life up to this point..... and though he would very eagerly change a great many things about it, he knows his cause is a good one, a worthy one, a true one. It deserves his commitment, and every drop of blood he's spilled in its name.]
