History
A personally leads Kumogakure's forces during the war with Konoha. He brings promising younger shinobi, including Darui and C, to give them battlefield experience 154 164. When Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo attacks the Cloud formation, A orders his troops to spread out while his younger brother, Killer B, blocks the attack as the Eight-Tails 188.
A fights Fugaku Uchiha but cannot secure a victory, while Shisui occupies Killer B 191. After the Cloud army retreats, A learns that B stayed behind to cover its withdrawal and was captured 196. A later confronts Uchiha Sōken and is badly injured and nearly drained of chakra; Sōken defeats him even after dismissing Susanoo 217.
With both B and Yugito Nii held by Konoha, A continues negotiations rather than abandon the chance to recover Kumogakure's jinchūriki 219. News that Stone ninja have raided Kumogakure enrages him, though he resolves to endure the setback as Raikage 220. He later attends a meeting of the Five Kage, where Sōken challenges him over Kumogakure's attempts to abduct Konoha's Nine-Tails jinchūriki 466.
Appearance
A is a burly, dark-skinned man with pale yellow hair and a heavily muscular build 154.
- Green, shuriken-shaped tattoos mark his shoulders and arms 154.
- He wears a broad belt and heavy armor on his arms, and is seen training bare-chested 154.
- At the height of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, lightning coils around his body and his hair stands on end 189.
Personality
A is intensely protective of his brother and troops. The prospect of casualties from Shisui's attack alarms him, and B's capture pains him more than the loss of his other forces 188 196. He is quick to anger, particularly when Kumogakure is attacked, but restrains himself when rejecting negotiations would jeopardize the recovery of B and Yugito 219 220.
Physical training is a constant habit: he lifts heavy barbells and dumbbells even while receiving reports or discussing intelligence 154 164 403.
