  • Energy Manipulation & Energy Projection (One can "mold chakra" through the two component energies of physical and spiritual energy, one can then project it in a myriad of different ways through the Chakra Points around the body. Shinobi do this particularly in the use of ninjutsu. Additionally, chakra users are also capable of emitting raw chakra as well, usually through their hands or feet)
  • Statistics Amplification (Kunoichi are capable of further enhancing their physical capabilities with the use of chakra. The Shunshin no Jutsu allows Kunoichi to greatly enhance their speed by focusing chakra in their feet)
  • Acrobatics (All-Terrain Mobility & Hypermobility - All chakra users have utilized considerable agility in and out of combat, which allows them to jump to great heights Additionally, they can all travel around by jumping across tree branches)

This aura, when emitted by someone of around Kage level strength or above, was shown to have a physical effect powerful enough to violently damage the user's surroundings. When the user's aura is injected with bloodlust or malice, it has been consistently shown to cause a variety of harmful effects such as intense fear, paralysis, illusions, suicidal urges, unconsciousness, and more. Hagoromo has been depicted with an aura before)

  • Air Manipulation (With Fūton, the user can produce powerful gusts of wind to either blow away their target or slice them apart. Indeed, Fūton is extremely effective at dealing cutting damage, and has been touted as capable of slicing apart anything. Applying Fūton chakra to weapons also greatly enhances their cutting power)
  • Earth Manipulation and Density Manipulation (With Doton, the user can manipulate the very earth, altering its shape, size, and density.

• Weapon Mastery and Marksmanship (Konan has demonstrated proficiency with projectile weapons such as spears and shuriken)
• Martial Arts (Konan should be comparable to the average Kunoichi, who are trained to be highly proficient in Taijutsu. Even in the Ninja Academy, they are trained in Hand-to-Hand combat and perform drills regularly to perfect their Taijutsu)
• Stealth Mastery (The basis for all Shinobi skills is to "become invisible and eradicate yourself", in order to analyze your opponent and catch them off-guard)
• Afterimage Creation, Greater Stealth Mastery, and Speed Enhancement (The Substitution Jutsu allows its user to instantly replace themselves with a nearby object such as a tree log, plant, person, or clone at the exact moment they are attacked, this creates an optical illusion of the user being hit, which confuses the opponent giving the user an opening to flee or counterattack. This Jutsu works even if the user is being physically restrained or while being observed by characters with high observational skills or sensory abilities such as Sharingan or Sage Mode users)

• Adhesive Manipulation (Kunoichi are capable of resisting the effects of adhesives by coating themselves in chakra)
• Ice Manipulation (Ninja who can mold Chakra can send that chakra around their bodies to generate heat and prevent their bodies from freezing. This technique was potent enough to counteract Earth Chain Ice, a technique that freezes its victims from the inside out)

• Explosive Tags (Access to 600 Billion explosive tags within Amegakure)

Intelligence:

• General Intelligence
• Combat Intelligence

Gifted

As a skilled Kunoichi, Konan should have exceptional and well rounded academic knowledge, with many having an in-depth understanding of science in particular to perform ninjutsu. Konan has also demonstrated the ability to assist Nagato in leading Amegakura, a village of Shinobi, for many years and even temporarily became the sole leader after Nagato's passing.

At least Gifted

Konan's most impressive known feat of combat and deductive intelligence would be her successfully neutralizing Obito's Kamui ability, devising a plan that accurately gauged the mechanics of Kamui after observing and simulating an encounter with Obito for years prior that even surprised the highly intelligent Obito and was almost successful in defeating him. Obito's Kamui, being a Space-Time Ninjutsu that even a highly skilled and intelligent Shinobi like Kakashi Hatake needed trial and error, as well as his teammates and his own Space-Time Ninjutsu, to accurately deduce and plan around.

Weaknesses: Konan cannot split her paper form into various individual sheets if her body is covered in oil , this weakness could potentially extend to other thick liquids. While she does have some resistance to it, her paper form can be burned by fire

Notible Attacks/Techniques

Shikigami no Mai (Dance of the Shikigami): Using her great origami and ninjutsu skills, Konan can turn her body into numerous sheets of paper. She can control every part of her body at will; making such forms as weapons for attack, butterflies for spying, paper airplanes for quick transport, or covering her enemy in sheets of paper to restrict and asphyxiate them. She can also hide exploding tags amongst her papers for a deadly surprise. She can casually fly and hover in her paper form. Her occasional wings are little more than a decoration. Paper Rain Technique: Konan will take to the sky and fire a storm of many sharp kunai-like paper blades down upon a target. Kami Bunshin (Paper Clone): By taking advantage of her ability to manipulate paper, Konan can create a duplicate of herself from her own chakra-infused layer that can be controlled remotely. Kami Shuriken (Paper Shuriken): By transferring her chakra into a sheet of paper, Konan can alter both the hardness and sharpness of the material, often forming it into the shape of a shuriken. Paper Chakram: This technique is formed by combining a large number of paper sheets into a solid, sharp ring. The chakram is in turn thrown like a disk, spinning rapidly towards its target. Kami no Shisha no Jutsu (Paper Person of God Technique): After an unknown amount of prep, Konan can create a massive amount of paper, consisting of roughly 600 billion explosive tags. She can disguise them as part of the terrain and wait until her enemies are caught inside the trap. In an instant, she can unravel the guise and detonate the exploding tags for 10 minutes of non-stop explosions. Her bombardment was so strong that it covered the entire area and also split a nearby large body of water. It's arguable whether she can make all 600 billion paper tags explode at the same time.
