Dance of the Shikigami (B) Konan has the ability to transform her chakra into paper, which allows her to change her body and clothes into many sheets of paper. This can be very captivating to her opponents. She can control and shape the paper into different things like spears for attacking, origami butterflies for spying, and clones for support. Konan can also create paper wings to fly and shoot paper rapidly. Moreover, she can wrap her enemies in paper, restricting their movements and suffocating them. However, her paper behaves like regular paper and can be burned by fire or stick together with oil, making it difficult for her to manipulate. Initially, Pain stops the rain in Amegakure to help Konan use her paper more effectively, but later she is seen using it even in the rain. Paper Chakram Konan collects many paper sheets and forms them into a round shape like a spinning disc. She throws this disc at her target, and she has control over its speed and direction. This allows her to a

Gaara is a shinobi from Sunagakure and the youngest of the Three Sand Siblings. He was born as the host of a powerful creature called the One-Tailed Shukaku, which made the people of Suna fear him. Growing up without any connections, Gaara developed a deep hatred for the world and only cared about himself. He found purpose in his life by killing anyone he encountered. However, after being defeated by Naruto Uzumaki, another jinchūriki who found strength in his friendships, Gaara started to follow his example. Eventually, he became the Fifth Kazekage of Suna, with the goal of protecting the village and its inhabitants. This allowed him to overcome the fears he had once instilled in the villagers. Background The Fourth Kazekage wanted to use one of his children as a weapon for the village, so he made them the jinchūriki of the tailed beast Shukaku. Gaara, his third child, was compatible with Shukaku, so the creature was sealed inside him before he was born. Gaara's mother died during

Rasa was the Fourth Kazekage, the leader of Sunagakure. He was famous for his skill in using Gold Dust. During his time as Kazekage, he was known for stopping the rampages of the One-Tailed Shukaku, which he had sealed inside his youngest son, Gaara. Background Due to the Land of Wind's daimyō reducing Sunagakure's budget and relying on Konohagakure's cheaper services, Rasa feared for his village's survival. He decided to focus on improving the skills of Suna's ninja and ordered Chiyo to seal the One-Tailed Shukaku inside his youngest son, Gaara, making him a powerful weapon for the village. However, Rasa's wife, Karura, died giving birth prematurely to Gaara. Rasa taught Gaara ninjutsu but left his care to Yashamaru, distancing Gaara from his siblings.

The village saw Gaara as useless, and Rasa planned a test with Yashamaru to control Shukaku, but Yasha

The Third Kazekage was the leader of Sunagakure, and is hailed as the village's strongest Kazekage of his time.

Sasori then kidnapped and killed the Third Kazekage to turn him into a puppet, but the village didn't know about it and searched for the missing Kazekage. Due to a war, they had to choose a new leader. Later, the Fifth Kazekage took over and the truth about the missing Kazekage was finally known. In the anime, Orochimaru wanted to learn all types of ninjutsu, so he took the Kazekage's DNA and used it to bring him back to life using a technique called Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation. Orochimaru made the revived Kazekage fight against Sasori's puppet. The Kazekage's power was stronger, and when Orochimaru called him a pawn, he became aware of himself again. He refused to be controlled a

In the anime, when Konohagakure and Sunagakure unexpectedly invited other villages to a joint Chūnin Exams, the Fourth Raikage became very angry. He believed it was a sneaky plan to attack Kumogakure. The Fourth Raikage refused Tsunade's offer, but Darui told him that he had already informed Killer B about it. The Fourth Raikage quickly instructed Darui and C to stop B, who was already on his way to the exams, from attending. Personality Darui is a relaxed and easygoing person.

A is the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure. Background A is the son of the Third Raikage and was trained to become the Fourth Raikage. In Kumogakure, it was customary for the Raikage to have a tag-team partner. A did not have a blood sibling, so they held try-outs with children to find a suitable partner. Only one child, named B, was able to match A's power and perform a special move together. A considered B as his brother from that day on. A, B, and A's cousin, who was the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails, were teamed up for a mission. During the mission, the Eight-Tails went out of control, and A helped in subduing it. A's father sealed the beast temporarily, and later B became its new jinchūriki. He became the Raikage after his father's death and restricted B's training and transformations due to their power.

Background A's time as the Third Raikage was marked by frequent attacks from the Eight-Tails, a powerful creature. Despite the danger it posed, A couldn't get rid of it because it was a valuable asset in war. He had to find new hosts for the Eight-Tails whenever it went berserk. During one of these attacks, A fought the Eight-Tails alone, sacrificing himself to protect his comrades. He suffered a wound that brought him great shame. From then on, he dedicated himself to stopping the Eight-Tails whenever it lost control, even involving his son. He sealed the Eight-Tails in someone else, resulting in his nephew's death.

Samehada This unique blade inflicts damage by shredding or scraping rather than simply cutting, resembling the skin of a shark. It can stretch and bend, resembling a flail, and extend its scales into spikes. Samehada has a symbiotic relationship with its wielder, consuming their chakra while obtaining larger meals from opponents during fights. It can drain chakra and prevent opponents from using their techniques. Samehada can also transfer absorbed chakra to its wielder, revitalizing their energy and healing injuries. When fully fused with a wielder like Kisame, it grants shark-like abilities and enhances their offensive capabilities.
