Many people believe Konan is the best Konochi in the series. This could not be further from the truth. Actually she was the weakest in akatsuki aside from zestu. Im not character bashing just sharing my opinion. I dont believe she is as strong as many would make her seem she is. heres why i believe what i believe.
Conclusion:
~With a limited ninjutsu/attack ability and an easy exploitable defense, its clear to see konan is not the greatest konoichi everyone believes her to be.
~She was the weakest in akatsuki aside from zetsu.
~Konan is mid to high jonin level NOT S rank like the rest of akatsuki.
These are pretty much her main form of attack.Paper projectiles in which she manipulates the shape and speed. And Exploding paper bombs with the ability to manipulate them aswell.
Paper Shuriken
Dance of the Shikigami
Pros:
~She can also gain the field advantage with her ability to fly.
~She manipulates paper explosives to give her a destructive sense to her offensive when using her origami manipulation as well.
~She shows an extreme amount of mental ability. she seems to have excellent battle planning ability.
Cons:
~She has no elemental usage or genjutsu at her disposal.
~he attack and defenses are limited for someone of her skill level
~As far as her defense, she seems to have a weakness against oil. The immobilization of her paper is a huge
weakness because all of her jutsu usage is stopped if she cannot use her paper. [though she does show a significant resistance to water. water does not effect the use of her paper.]
Her best attack performed was her paper ocean jutsu
However this technique requires prefight preptime, and can only be performed on the ocean or a large body of water. With that said its unrealistic to say she can perform this jutsu anytime she pleases and should not be used in versus threads for these two big reasons.
Paper Shuriken
Description:
A technique that consists of pouring one's chakra into a scrap of paper in a split second, hardening and sharpening it, so it can be used as a shuriken. Its sharpness is equal to that of a shuriken made of metal. The user can further increase the power of the shuriken by making it into certain shapes.

Dance of the Shikigami
Description:Using her high origami and ninjutsu skills, Konan can turn her body and clothing into many sheets of paper. She can control and reshape even parts of her body with sheets at will, making such forms as weapons for attack, butterflies for spying, paper airplanes for quick transport, or simply covering her enemy in sheets of paper, restricting and asphyxiating them.
This paper is seemingly expendable, including parts of her body converted to paper; and how much paper she can expend depends on her chakra reserve. She can also hide explosive tags amongst her papers to add a deadly surprise to her attacks.
