#Tho I also really love assassin and poison specialist Genma with competance for it in his blood

Genma Shiranui

Genma always tastes of metal, occasionally of cigarettes when stressed or on downtime and of grass and wheat when required to be unarmed. His clan has always been assassins and poison specialists, but when his family died he helped out a few farmers on the outskirts of Konoha to make extra money and get home meals and companionship. Even as he gets older he’s generally good about being willing to lend a hand to most in exchange for little more than a bit of companionship, always glad for discussion and a human presence to keep the loneliness away.

Or maybe he didn’t have a clan and was raised a farmer’s child, but one too many as a mouth to feed. His family struggled and they hadn’t enough land for all the kids to work to be fed, so he chose being a shinobi instead. He’d spent time butchering the animals he’d helped raise as food to eat, he knew the cruelties of civilian life without med-nin, and he as such he wouldn’t shy from death nor ignore dishonorable work that’d keep him fed either.

#Genma Shiranui #Naruto #Headcanons #I wish finding him paired with people was less rarepairs #I'd love more of him in time travel fics #I just have this image of anytime he's without a senbon #He just plucks a strand of wheat to chew on instead #Switches to a heavy farmer boy accent and lays back under a tree #argh that wheat broke and he's too lazy to grab another now he's down #welp time to grab a blade of grass and try to use it as a harmonica #Or is it a whistle #I dunno there may've been too many cowboy movies for me as a very smol child #Tho I also really love assassin and poison specialist Genma with competance for it in his blood #my headcanons
