History Past As a former instructor of Konoha, he convinced Idate Morino, his former pupil, to steal the legendary lightning chakra sword called the "Sword of the Thunder God", which once belonged to Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, along with a secret scroll. Idate was tricked into believing that this would grant him advancement to become a chuunin. Once the sword was in Aoi's hands, he fled the country with Idate, who was ashamed of his actions, and they went to Amegakure. When Ibiki Morino and two Anbu members came after them, Aoi killed the Anbu members and Ibiki ended up being captured by the Ame ninja, where Aoi tortured him to make him read the scroll. Idate ended up under Ibiki's guidance. As Aoi attacked Ibiki, the latter fled as well. Aoi then managed to become a jounin of Amegakure.

Escort Mission in the Land of Tea Aoi and Team Oboro were hired by Kyuroku Wagarashi of the Wagarashi family to prevent Idate from winning the race and to ensure that Fukusuke Hikyakuya would win the race. If Idate lost, Jirocho Wasabi and the Wasabi family would no longer have control over the Land of Tea. Aoi ambushed the messengers who were heading to Konoha with a letter asking for help, and easily defeated them. Despite this, the messengers managed to deliver the letter to Konoha. Team Oboro then met with Aoi, asking for instructions. He ordered them to follow Idate. Later, Aoi and Fukusuke were on a ship, watching Idate flee. Aoi claimed that he had always been like this. After Team Oboro destroyed Idate's ship, Idate swam away. As Idate arrived on a rocky island, Aoi walked up to him, surprising Idate. Aoi then injured Idate's arm. He then threw his umbrella upwards, stabbing Idate with several poisoned senbon. Eventually, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha finally arrived to rescue Idate. Aoi arrogantly claimed that no matter how many genin teamed up against a jounin, the jounin's chances of victory would not change. Skills Despite being recognized as a jounin of Amegakure, Aoi's overall skill as a shinobi was average at best. Even using a powerful sword developed by the Second Hokage, he over-relied on its power and was unable to use its full potential, which led to him being defeated by the combined efforts of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, two genin-level shinobi.

Bukijutsu Aoi's signature technique is the Needle Shower, a technique that allows the user to rain needles down on their opponents through the use of mechanisms hidden within the umbrella. He combined the needles with poisoned ones, giving his opponents a slow and painful death along with the damage they cause. He also uses them as a regular ninja tool, but does not incorporate them with ninjutsu in order to preserve his chakra. The poisoned needles give him an advantage, as the needle's poison paralyzes his opponents. His umbrella is also capable of generating waves capable of immobilizing his opponents for a short time. The Sword of the Thunder God, Tobirama Senju's former weapon, was also at Aoi's disposal. This sword was stolen by Idate Morino, who was tricked into giving the sword to Aoi. The sword has the ability to manipulate lightning and was able to withstand the effects of a Chidori and cut through chakra as if it were water. Aoi can electrocute and paralyze his opponents in addition to creating rings of electricity in front of him, as well as shield himself with it. Every time it is swung, it makes lightsaber sounds. The sword has a weak point, and can be broken by overuse or powerful attacks to its tip. Curiosities Aoi means "blue" and Rokushou means "rust copper". Aoi's impact on Sasuke's ridicule served as further incentive for him to defect from Konoha, although Sasuke's loss to Gaara and Naruto's accelerated improvement were already enough. He is responsible for the large scar on Ibiki Morino's face. Out of all the known shinobi of Amegakure, Aoi is the only one who is not a genin.
