History
On the northeastern front, A fought alongside Killer B against Minato Namikaze. Minato wounded him after two rapid uses of the Flying Thunder God Technique; Killer B intervened, and the Cloud Ninja retreated. A refused to accept returning home without a result 90.
Dodai proposed demanding that Konoha hand over Uchiha Kin, who had defeated the Third Raikage. A doubted Konoha would surrender one of its strongest shinobi, but convened his staff to develop the diplomatic plan 91. He also pursued training to counter Minato’s Flying Thunder God. When that training proved inconclusive, A chose to delay further action and let Konoha state its peace terms 92 110. Dodai later used the negotiations to teach him about potential economic cooperation between the villages 111.
When news of reforms in Konoha reached Kumogakure, A and his advisers could not determine their purpose. Frustrated by the lack of intelligence, he approved Dodai’s proposal to investigate in person 266.
Personality
A is forceful but willing to consult advisers: he objected to Dodai’s proposed demand for Kin, then had his staff work through the plan 91. His advisers regard him as good-tempered despite his habit of striking the table when frustrated; he does not turn that anger on his comrades, apart from Killer B 266.
