“Live for the moment, look at the moon, the cherry-blossom and maple leaves, love wine, women and poetry, encounter with humour the poverty that stares at you in the face and don’t be discouraged by it, let yourself be carried along on the river of life like a calabash that drifts downstream, that is what Ukiyo means.”

@Jiraiya-Legendary-Sannin Mājutsu AU Character Cheat Sheet

Character Name: Jiraiya Myōboku

Age: 15 Years, birth date 11 November

School Year: Fifth Year Student

Hogwarts House: Gryffindor

Head of House: Sakumo Hatake

Wand: Maple Wood. Unicorn Hair Core. 9 Inches. Mild Flexibility.

Patronus: Bull Frog

Familiar: A toad named Gamabūnta

Favourite Professor: Hiruzen Sarutobi, as he has yet to receive a detention slip from him.

Go-to Spell: The 'Disillusionment Charm' was the first thing Jiraiya perfected as it enabled him to better blend into the girl’s lavatory. He has yet to find a way to best the staircase leading to the Gryffindor Girl’s Dorm, however-but it is a work in progress.

Least Favourite Professor: Tobirama Senju, the man had no sense of humour.

Subjects: Potions, Charms (Favoured ⭐), Transfiguration, Astronomy, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures (Favoured ⭐), Defence Against the Dark Arts, Flying (Favoured ⭐), Muggle-Studies (Favoured ⭐), Divination.

Clubs: If Detention was a club- he would be in it; Duel Club--does not have much time for anything else in between his voyeurisms, punishments and mapping out possible book ideas.

Likes: The Prefect’s Bathroom on the 5th floor, Hogsmeade Weekends, adventure books, quidditch practice, working on ideas for his own novels, trickle tarts, the occasional sneaky sip of Fire Whiskey (he knows someone who is someone at the Hogshead) , Kabuki poses, toads, he also has a few muggle magazines stashed in his trunk (mostly of a questionable nature) since he knows it will annoy Tsunade and Kushina. Riling up people is definitely his second favourite pastime. He’s on a ‘best buddies for life’ standing with Peeves the Poltergeist. No one knows how this came about.

Dislikes: The fact that his dearest friends are all perfect prefects; homework; detention; Wizarding Politics and Blood Feuds; Portrait of the Fat Lady (she always finds a way to refuse him entry!!?); Bertie Bots Every Flavoured Beans (cue vivid, war flashbacks); cats; Moaning Myrtle; being tied down by everyday routine.

Quidditch Team/Position: Gryffindor Keeper (he’s been holding the position since his 3rd year at Hogwarts).

Family Members:

[Father] Muggle. Writer. Deceased

[Mother] Muggle. Theatre Actress. Deceased.

[Siblings] None, only child.

*He lives with his old, crazy uncle named Fukasaku (an infamous, Muggle-Born Magizoologist)

Blood Status: Muggle-Born

Friends/Known Acquaintances: With his boisterous, friendly personality Jiraiya is friends with most of the students within his year, as well as a few of the younger students. The students in the years above him (more so the female students) tend to avoid him as much as possible, since he has a habit of spying on them under the pretext of gathering intel for his soon to be published novels or essays.

Physical Traits: Tall, bulky, with spikey white hair. His uniform is also in various stages of disarray. Tucking in his shirt or fastening his tie is a foreign concept.

Character Habbits/Characteristics: Generally light hearted and gregarious; Jiraiya is known to make numerous jokes at his own expense, though never at others. He’s fiercely loyal to his House and feels immense guilt over the fact that he’s constantly costing Gryffindor House Points. He has a knack for holding up his classes since he loves making dramatic, winded introductions and entrances. He makes a point of always disappearing on his friends as soon as the tab arrives during Hogsmeade Weekends, resulting in them having to pay for his drinks and overly priced snacks. He’s horrible at the theoretical aspect of studying, finding it exceptionally difficult to memorise course work, but he excels at the physical aspect of magic, especially Charms.

Dream for the Future: He would like to travel the world, both magical and muggle and go on various adventures worth remembering -living by no one’s rules but his own.

Konan combat analysis

Konan is one of the most underrated and underused characters in Naruto, with one of the best backstories(alongside my fav boi Nagato) and one of the most unique skillset.

She is one of the strongest kunoichis in the series, stronger than the likes of popular female characters and she has the ability to fly, something which no other kunoichi, not even powerhouses like Tsunade and Mei Terumi have.

She is also one of the very few characters in the series who have developed their own personalised strength, rooting from their passion. This post discusses Konan's criminally underrated abilities:

Dance of the Shikigami:

式紙の舞­ (Shikigami no Mai)

Konan is able to transform her body into hundreds of sheets of paper which she can control upon will and harden even further so than steel. Because of her ability to disperse whenever needed, it’s especially difficult for opponents to land a hit on her and actually cause any damage.

By converting her chakra into paper, Konan transforms her body (and clothing) into numerous sheets of paper; the initial creation and dispersal of the paper can mesmerise opponents.

Paper drizzle

紙手裏剣­ (Kami Shuriken)

Konan then controls and shapes the paper into various things, such as spears for attack. Kami shuriken is a technique that consists of using chakra to harden and shape paper into shuriken. The user can increase the power of the shuriken as when Konan combined it with Nagato's Wind Release: Gale Palm, speeding up the shuriken and enabling them to pierce the body further.

Konan can fold the paper shuriken into different shapes, including the normal four-pointed star shape and a more kunai-like shape. In the manga, the latter shape does not spin like a shuriken. In the anime, the shuriken spin regardless of shape.

Paper clone 紙分身­ (Kami Bunshin)

A technique which employs the use of Konan's ability to manipulate the shape and colour of her paper by forming it into one or more replicas of herself. When a clone is hit, it will merely turn back into sheets of paper. If need be, Konan can conceal explosive tagswithin her paper clones to allow for a deadly surprise attack.

She can also use origami butterflies for spying, and clones for supplementary purposes. She can create paper wings on her back to fly (though she can hover without them) and use them to fire paper in rapid succession.

She can wrap her target in paper, restricting their movements and asphyxiating them.

Konan was also able to produce and fold enough paper to mimic environmental surroundings, such as a giant tree that she used for Nagato's base of operations.

Durability

Konan is durable. Despite being composed of paper, her attacks are immune to water and fire. This was indicated when she took one of Jiraiya’s oil-enhanced fire techniques head on and showed no sign of injury whatsoever:

Explosive Tags (起爆札, Kibaku Fuda

are scraps of paper inscribed with a special writing, centering around the kanji for "explode" (爆, baku). Infused with chakra, they will explode after a set amount of time, remotely, or after being ignited by flame.

Speed

Konan has been shown to be very quick and nimble. Konan can increase her speed by making Paper Wings on her back that allow her to fly in the air. Her paper wings are also surprisingly durable and can make Konan go at incredible speeds making it easy for her to dodge attacks aimed at her. She has also shown to have a quick reaction time that makes her very good at dodging attacks.

Intelligence

Konan had a very keen intellect as she was able to quickly understand the process and reason behind the hop in, hop out system Jiraiya had created for them and could study Tobi's space-time techniques, accurately deciphering how they worked and then did countless simulations in order to find the perfect way to kill.

Limitations

Konan's paper is vulnerable in the same ways as normal paper: fire will burn it away and oil will cause it to stick together, preventing her from manipulating it.

Paper Person of God Technique

神の紙者の術­ (Kami no Shisha no Jutsu)

Konan disguises six hundred billion explosive tags as the surrounding scenery, be it earth or water, with enough sophistication that even the Sharingan cannot see through it.

600 billion paper bombs!!

When the target is in position, Konan causes the scenery to split in half, resulting in the rapid creation of a huge abyss beneath the target. Due to the sudden lack of any available foothold, the target inevitably descends ever deeper into the depths of the chasm. As the target falls, Konan guides the explosive tags to stick to their body and detonate, with six hundred billion being enough for ten minutes of consecutive explosions — more than enough to counter the five minute time limit on Obito Uchiha's intangibility.

She nearly did kill Obito, who only survived because of Izanagi.

Befitting her title as Angel (天使, Tenshi), she was able to form paper wings on her back. This allowed her to fly (though she was able to hover without them.

Konan is truly one hell of a ninja, with traits adept for combat, spying, retrieving and dispersing intel. One of the most dangerous combatants in Narutoverse, she is one hell of a character with the coolest abilities, developed all on her own by her passion for origami.

All hail paper godess, Konan of Akatsuki!
