Anato
CharacterAnato is a researcher from the Land of Valleys employed by Victor's medical manufacturing company. After being injected with the First Hokage's cells, the mild scientist mutates into a rampaging beast, setting Konoha's Team 7 on his trail at the plea of his wife, Mia.
Appearance
Anato keeps his green hair cropped short, and his eyes are dark in colour.
Abilities
As a man of science, Anato was almost certainly sharp of mind. Once the First Hokage's cells took hold, his strength surged to monstrous levels: he could hold off five ninja at once, tear free of a Multiple String Light Formation without apparent effort, and stretch his arms out to reach enemies at a distance.
History
The implanted cells of Hashirama Senju warped Anato's body into that of a savage creature, and in his frenzy he killed his own team. Konohagakure's Team 7 tracked him down at the request of Mia, his wife, but the young shinobi could not pin him, and Victor's team cut him down soon afterward. His body was hauled to a medical centre and examined in detail; when Victor concluded the mutation offered nothing toward his aims, he ordered Anato put to death.
