Konan is a formal disciple of Jiraiya, who was among the three orphans during The Great Third Ninja War. She is among the founding members of Akatsuki, and the only girl of the group. A master of Origami justu, Konan is known to be calm under dangerous circumstances and acted as the front caretaker of the Akatsuki following Nagato's paralysis. She blends her Chakra with paper, which manipulates the material and manifests creative attacks. By using this jutsu, she herself can masterfully transform into paper, allowing her to evade any incoming attacks. Aside from being a badass woman in anime, Konan was a formidable kunoichi with a keen strategic mind, evident in her meticulously planned attacks and ability to anticipate her opponents' actions. Her battle against Obito Uchiha showcased her strategic brilliance as she nearly succeeded in defeating the masked Uchiha. However, Obito's use of the Izanagi, a forbidden Uchiha technique that alters reality, ultimately allowed him to survive her meticulously planned assault.
