A

Biodata

Background / History

A sought to obtain Uchiha Obito's newly awakened Sharingan. He disguised himself as Uchiha Tunan, exploited Obito and Rin Nohara's trust, and led them toward Kumogakure under the pretense of escorting them. 125

His abduction scheme was disrupted when the real Tunan, disguised as A, confronted him. A's superior strength and defense overwhelmed Tunan in a direct fight, but Tunan escaped with Obito and Rin using Lightning Spirit Wind Flash. 127

During the conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure, A fought beside Killer B against Namikaze Minato. Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique repeatedly prevented the pair from landing decisive attacks. 256 After Uchiha Tunan defeated the Third Raikage and allowed him to retreat, A and Killer B resolved to restore Kumogakure's reputation. 258

Personality

A is ambitious and willing to employ deception for power, impersonating Tunan to isolate Obito and seize his Sharingan. 125

He is proud of his identity and authority, reacting angrily when his own subordinates doubt that he is the real A. 127 In battle, he favors direct action and rapid decisions; the Third Raikage criticizes A and Killer B for repeatedly choosing opponents who counter their abilities. 256
