Konan (小南) was a kunoichi from Amegakure and a founding member of the original Akatsuki. After Yahiko’s death, she was partnered with Nagato Uzumaki, 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.

Background

Appearance

Konan’s appearance as a member of Akatsuki during its initial founding.

Konan’s full appearance.

Konan’s appearance as God’s “Angel”.

Konan had short, straight blue hair with a bun, grey eyes (amber in the anime) with lavender eye shadow, and a white (black in the anime) labret piercing. Konan’s eyelashes are shown to be a diagonal line at the bottom corner of her eyes, but in the anime, they are shown to be distinctive lines. She has worn a large light blue paper flower clipped on her bun since she was a child. Her facial expression was usually neutral, though usually protested or looked worried when Nagato performed a technique that would debilitate him. She wore the Akatsuki cloak and her Akatsuki ring on her right middle finger, the kanji on it meaning “white” (白, byaku, haku). She also wore orange nail polish. Although she never removed her Akatsuki mantle, it was revealed that underneath it she wore a revealing navy-blue robe, with a large hemline on the front, and exposed her arms, her back, the lateral part of her breast and her belly, with her navel being surrounded by four more piercings. It was also revealed that her headband is on her right hip; instead of the standard sandals and legwarmers, she wore a pair of blue pants that also functioned as her shoes, with white high heels, inverting the organization’s standard color scheme.

As a child, Konan was seen wearing an array of simple clothing. When living with Jiraiya, she was seen wearing a karate top and skirt bottom, with a pouch she wore at the front of her outfit to carry her paper. When Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato began to make Akatsuki, Konan wore a black cloak with purple stockings and high heels, as well as a midsection guard, and an Ame forehead protector, that being the only time period Konan's been seen wearing one.

Abilities

Konan using her paper as wings for battle.

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.

Ninjutsu

Konan possesses Yang Release while also being a sensor type shinobi. She can also expel wind bullets which are powerful enough to cut through multiple opponents in one gust.

Paper Ninjutsu

Main article: Dance of the Shikigami

Konan using paper shuriken.

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 color 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), and 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.

Konan’s Paper Person of God Technique.

Konan was also able to produce and fold enough paper to mimic environmental surroundings, such as a giant tree that she used for Nagato’s base of operations. She was also able to disguise her paper as the lake of Amegakure, which when opened, sends her opponent falling into an abyss with six hundred billion explosive tags detonating for a full ten minutes. This technique forced Tobi to use the Izanagi to survive since his intangibility would only last for five minutes.

Intelligence

Konan had a very keen intellect as she was able to quickly understand the process and reason behind the hop in, hop out system Jiraiya created for them. In later years, she studied Tobi’s space-time technique, accurately deciphering how it worked and then did countless simulations to find the perfect way to kill him. Even Tobi expressed surprise that he was forced to rely on the forbidden Izanagi to survive her final assault at the cost of his left eye.
