Konan

## Introduction

**Konan** (小南, *Konan*) was a kunoichi from Amegakure and a founding member of the original Akatsuki. After Yahiko's death, she was partnered with Nagato, who had since taken control of Akatsuki, and was the only member to call him by his name. After Nagato's death, Konan defected from Akatsuki and became the *de facto* village head of Amegakure.

When she was young, Konan's family was killed during the Second Shinobi World War, and she was left to fend for herself. Some time later, Yahiko found her, and the two worked together to survive. Not long after that, Konan went for a walk and found a young, dying Nagato and his dog, Chibi. She rescued him and brought him back to their hideout. Gradually the three became best friends. They eventually encountered the Sannin, who gave them some food. Konan impressed them by making an elaborate flower out of the paper wrappers left behind as a sign of gratitude. When Orochimaru suggested to kill them so they would not have to suffer the horrors of war, Jiraiya instead opted to stay and teach the three how to look after themselves.

## Character Details

As an S-rank criminal who grew up in war-torn times and being personally trained under Jiraiya, one of the three legendary Sannin, Konan was undoubtedly a very powerful kunoichi. Her skills were held in high regard by her partner Pain, and has been highly praised by her former teacher, Jiraiya. She was also able to nearly kill Obito, with the latter only surviving due to using the kinjutsu Izanagi, something she did not anticipate in her countless simulations of their battle.

As a child, Konan has had a natural talent for origami. She would go on to develop it into her fighting style, leading to the creation of the Dance of the Shikigami. This technique transforms her entire body and clothing into numerous sheets of paper that she can control, shape and change the colour of at will. She could create butterflies in order to gather information or travel long distances. She could harden her paper with chakra to make weapons such as spears, shuriken and chakram-like weapons. She could restrain opponents by blanketing them in paper, and asphyxiate them if she wanted. She could make paper clones to fight in her place, and even hide explosive tags within them to catch an enemy off guard. Befitting her title as **Angel** (天使, *Tenshi*), she was able to form paper wings on her back. This allowed her to fly (though she was able to hover without them), as well as fire paper from the wings

Despite being made of paper, Jiraiya's Fire Release: Flame Bullet barely damaged her when hit by it. She could even overpower the same technique with her paper. Her paper seemed unaffected by water, as seen during her fight against Tobi in the rain.

Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Stealth Mastery, Acrobatics, Chakra Manipulation, Statistics Amplification (Shinobi are capable of enhancing their physical capabilities with the use of chakra. The Shunshin no Jutsu allows Shinobi to greatly enhance their speed by focusing chakra in their feet), Surface Scaling and Water Walking (By focusing chakra at the soles of their feet, Shinobi can scale and cling to vertical surfaces, and even walk on water), Afterimage Creation (Can create one or more afterimages of herself to move alongside her), Afterimage Creation, Stealth Mastery, and Speed Enhancement (The Substitution Jutsu allows its user to instantly replace themselves with a nearby object such as a tree log, plant, person, or clone at the exact moment they are attacked. The Jutsu works even if the user is physically restrained or observed by characters as observant as Sharingan or Sage Mode users. This creates the optical illusion of the user being hit, which confuses the opponent and gives them an opening to flee or counterattack), Minor Illusion Creation and Duplication (With the Clone Technique, Shinobi can create illusionary duplicates of themselves that have no physical substance), Shapeshifting (With the Transformation Technique, Shinobi can transform themselves into other people, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects, such as weapons), Paralysis Inducement (With the Temporary Paralysis Technique, Shinobi can completely paralyze their targets from close to mid range), Genjutsu Nullification (Shinobi can typically break free from and nullify non-ocular genjutsu by intentionally disrupting the flow of chakra within their bodies), Danmaku (She can transform into and control a massive amount of papers, and use them to attack others, among other things.

Can turn her paper into explosive tags), Explosion Manipulation with explosive tags

Attack Potency: **City Level** (Konan with prep time was capable of bringing together a massive amount of bombs that would be held superior to even Deidara, who can set C-0) possibly **Mountain Level** (Konan uses a Jutsu that allows her to control and detonate 600 billion Explosive Tags with a lot of prep. This attack forced Obito into using Izanagi and killing her.)

**Intelligence**: Gifted. A skilled, excellent tactician that was able to come up with an effective counter to Obito's intangibility.

**Weaknesses:** She cannot disperse when her body is covered in oil or presumably other thick liquids (She remains in paper form but cannot separate). While she has shown some resistance to it, a fire could probably pose a threat to her.

### Notable Attacks/Techniques:

* **Shikigami no Mai (Dance of the Shikigami):** Using her great origami and ninjutsu skills, Konan can turn her body into numerous sheets of paper. She can control every part of her body at will; making such forms as weapons for attack, butterflies for spying, paper airplanes for quick transport, or covering her enemy in sheets of paper to restrict and asphyxiate them. She can also hide exploding tags amongst her papers for a deadly surprise. She can casually fly and hover in her paper form. Her occasional wings are little more than a decoration.
* **Paper Rain Technique:** After forming large wings made of paper, Konan will take to the sky and fire a storm of many sharp kunai-like paper blades down upon a target.
* **Kami Bunshin (Paper Clone):** By taking advantage of her ability to manipulate paper, Konan can create a duplicate of herself from her own chakra-infused layer that can be controlled remotely.
* **Kami Shuriken (Paper Shuriken):** By transferring her chakra into a sheet of paper, Konan can alter both the hardness and sharpness of the material, often forming it into the shape of a shuriken.
* **Paper Chakram:** This technique is formed by combining a large number of paper sheets into a solid, sharp ring. The chakram is in turn thrown like a disk, spinning rapidly towards its target.
* **Kami no Shisha no Jutsu (Paper Person of God Technique):** After an unknown amount of prep, Konan can create a massive amount of paper, consisting of roughly 600 billion explosive tags. She can disguise them as part of the terrain and wait until her enemies are caught inside the trap. In an instant, she can unravel the guise and detonate the exploding tags for 10 minutes of non-stop explosions. Her bombardment was so strong that it covered the entire area and also split a nearby large body of water. It's arguable whether she can make all 600 billion paper tags explode at the same time.
