Aa (Earth-2213)

Aa was the First Raikage and founder of Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning.

Biography
During his rule in the Warning States Period that followed the War of Chin the Conqueror, Aa sent the Gold and Silver Brothers to capture the Nine-Tails in Konohagakure, a task which they they failed after their deaths at the hands of its Avatar, Kyoshi. He also granted the Yotsuki Clan a estate of their own in the Valley of Clouds in exchange for their loyalty to him.

During the first Kage Summit during the First Hundred Year War, he was accompanied by A, his bodyguard and future Second Raikage. He antagonized the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and told him that only a weak leader bowed down to anyone. After asking the First Kazekage to give an alternate request, as Sunagakure had its own tailed beast, he was outraged when the Kazegake wanted to receive 30% of whatever Suna wanted to pay for a tailed beast from Konohagakure. When Hashirama pleaded to preserve the future of their children and unite, he unwillingly agreed.

After his death, his bodyguard A replaced him as the new Raikage. Aa left a legacy of countless of protectionist policies on his village.

Personality
Aa had very few patience to deal with politics and had a strong verbal tic, always ending sentences with "yo". He was a prideful man who enjoyed showing his bending prowess and believed that a leader bowed their heads to no one. His desire to protect Kumogakure passed down to his successor, A.
