A

Biodata

Background / History

A led Kumogakure during its escalating conflict with Uchiha Mirai and Konoha. After the Land of Lightning's Daimyo ordered retaliation, A consulted his minister Dodai, who proposed cooperating with Sarutobi Hiruzen against their shared enemy. A accepted the plan and dispatched Yugito Nii, Kumogakure's perfect Two-Tails jinchūriki, to assassinate Mirai. 84

Yugito's defeat and capture by Mirai dealt Kumogakure a severe blow. The village also suffered widespread nuclear contamination, and A later released radioactive wastewater into the sea after cleanup efforts, provoking surrounding villages and forcing Kumogakure to surrender benefits as compensation. 111
