Konan was formerly a Kunoichi of the Akatsuki and Amegakure. She was also the only female member of the Akatsuki, being one of the people that were in command, following Nagato/Pain. She had been the lone surviving member of her very first team, Yahiko and Nagato having being beaten previously. However, she fell in battle against Tobi, who had beat the Kunoichi with his special skills, using skills to the advantage, and making Konan be the one that had lost, ending up with the death of Konan.
