A

Biodata

History

A fought Minato Namikaze and Xu Yue alongside Killer B. Already considered a Kage-level fighter, A was astonished when Minato evaded his punch and used a marked kunai to appear behind him 134 135.

In a later confrontation, A fought Xu Yue and coordinated Kumogakure's defense against him. After A and Killer B had both lost to Xu Yue, the village took precautions against his illusion techniques, including instructing fighters not to make eye contact 270 273. Xu Yue subsequently flung both men into ruins, leaving A bloodied despite his formidable physique 274.
