Konan from the Naruto series garnered a massive fanbase for various reasons. She was the only female member of the infamous Akatsuki Clan led by Itachi Uchiha at that time. This organization was feared because it had some of the strongest shinobis in the series, and it took the combined efforts of some of the toughest ninjas to defeat them. Konan was one such character with an interesting fighting style, and this leads to a question as to what Konan's powers are.
Konan's ninjutsu mainly revolved around the use of paper, and one might wonder how that could be effective in battle. Her powers and abilities were enhanced by her talent for Origami. She has a long list of impressive feats, which gained a fan following during the anime series.
Konan's main jutsu in Naruto, explained
Trending
Her main jutsu was her ability to manipulate and use paper in her fights. All her powerful ninjutsu moves involved the usage of paper. She could manipulate paper pieces to look like the environment, and this could be seen in the fight against Tobi. She managed to trick Tobi into thinking that her 600 billion papers were a massive lake.
She uses these papers to create clones that can replace her, conduct reconnaissance, and attach explosive tags to improve their destructive abilities. These papers can also be used as projectile weapons like Shurikens, a staple choice of weapon among shinobis and kunoichis. She could also cover her target in paper to choke and asphyxiate them, resulting in an effective interrogation tool.
Her biggest feat was that she forced Tobi to use Izanagi in the anime series. She sent Tobi into an abyss, covering him in 600 billion pieces of paper, each attached with an explosive tag. Her ability to strategize effectively and come up with alternatives on the battlefield makes her a fearsome fighter in the series.
Konan's additional powers and abilities
The anime and manga series gave plenty of screen time for her paper ninjutsu techniques. However, she was a balanced fighter who perfected Wind, Water, Earth, and Yang release nature transformations. In the anime series that contained additional filler content, Konan was also shown to be a sensor-type shinobi. Her ability to sense and accurately track chakra from a distance was of great use to the Akatsuki Clan.
Her intelligence, acknowledged by Jiraiya, was one of her biggest assets. Jiraiya decided to train her, refining her skills under his tutelage. Her ability to analyze was seen when she studied Tobi's space-time techniques. She understood that it was working and succeeded in simulating it, enabling her to defeat Tobi. She was a balanced fighter who was so skilled that Pain and other members of the Akatsuki Clan held her in high regard.
