"If you think I'm ready, then I'll gladly accept a genin team," said Natsumi with a slight smile.
She'd only just made jounin last year and some might think that wasn't experienced enough to take on a genin team. At the same time, being an experienced jounin wasn't the same as being a good teacher. There were some excellent and experienced jounin that should probably never be assigned a genin team because they didn't have the kind of personality that was suited to working with freshly graduated rookies.
Natsumi did work reasonably well with kids. Enough, at least, that a few parents in the clan had no problem foisting their children off on her on her days off when they wanted a little peace and quiet. She'd found playing with them a little, occasional reward incentives and creatively unpleasant punishments kept them behaving for her the vast majority of the time. It would be a little different with genin, but she could apply similar principles.
