Konan

Biodata

Background / History

Konan was left orphaned after both of her Rain-ninja parents died. Hidden Rain Village then seized her family home and food before driving her out; unable to support herself as a ninja, she became a street orphan alongside Yahiko and Nagato. 46

While trying to steal bread in Hidden Rain Village's commercial district, Konan was pursued by a shopkeeper and collided with Qiao Luo. Initially timid and fearful, she gradually trusted him after he helped her. 45 46

Qiao Luo accompanied Konan back to her former home, where she recovered the Paper Release Secret Technique scroll that her parents had hidden for her. She had previously received some instruction in the technique from her mother. 46

Qiao Luo subsequently taught Konan Paper Release techniques, gave her talismans and a ninja tool pouch for protection, and helped secure her return to the house. Jiraiya later accepted Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato as his disciples. 47

Personality
