Amado

Amado is a former Inner from the organisation Kara and the head of its research and development division. He has since defected to Konohagakure, where he used a mix of bluffs and gifts to gain official citizenship for the Hokage's protection. In his quest to kill Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, Amado joined Kara and was granted the rank of Inner, serving as the head of its research and development division. He acquired genetic information of Jiraiya, and used it to create a clone, Koji Kashin, who became his secret ally in their goal of killing Isshiki's vessel, Jigen. Amado would assist Jigen on transferring a Kāma into various children as their vessel. As the project continued to show no progress as one child after another died, Amado suggested they change methods for their goal, Jigen reminded him that they have neither the time nor a viable alternative. After they lost thirteen more children, Kawaki and Code were the only survivors, and though Code failed to become a vessel, he attained the White Kāma, while Kawaki successfully became their vessel.

 

In the anime, Amado, along with Koji, witnessed a young Kawaki being confronted by Garō and Kawaki unconsciously activated his Kāma and blasted Garō. At some point, Amado was given the research on Katasuke Tōno's Scientific Ninja Tools by Koji. Upon which, Amado began refining and expanding on the technology, incorporating it into the various Inners of Kara. During his time within the organisation, Amado has gained complete knowledge of Kara and the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Because of this, Jigen has forbidden him to ever leave headquarters; to do so would amount to treason that could well result in Amado's execution. As an Inner of Kara, Amado is described as having completely monstrous abilities. Amado is fast enough to easily close the distance between him and Shikadai Nara in an instant and bind him upon being freed from his paralysis. Amado is an exceptionally intelligent man with exceedingly advanced knowledge in science and technology, with Kawaki describing him as a technological genius. He provided Jigen with the means to determine whether a candidate is compatible with Kāma through his scientific expertise, which resulted in Kawaki being determined to be successful, though fourteen who failed the tests have died. He could also clone humans. Using the DNA of Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, he created a perfect clone in Koji Kashin. In the anime, his technological prowess was such that he could even revive the recently deceased in the form of a disembodied head, kept alive in a test tube, enough for the head to answer questions. While his true capabilities remain unknown, Amado is shown to be a very methodical and knowledgeable man. Well-prepared, he skilfully uses a variety of technology to prevail. He is also shown to be a proficient tactician and deceiver, planning several steps ahead, such as pretending to plant an explosive collar device on Shikadai to use him as a leverage against his father to get Konoha to listen to him, making it look convincing by detonating a genuinely explosive collar, which fooled Shikamaru and the others. He also came up with a plan to force Isshiki Ōtsutsuki to reincarnate in Jigen's body to remove Kawaki's Kāma by having Koji attack him when he was critically weakened from his victory over Naruto and Sasuke while deceiving Koji into believing he could defeat Isshiki even though he never intended for him to make it out alive, which even earned him Isshiki's praise. As head of Kara's research and development division, Amado has been credited with the development of all of its fearsome Shinobi-ware and cyborgs. His technological genius directly resulted in the proliferation and advancement of scientific ninja tools far beyond the Scientific Ninja Weapons Team's combined capabilities, having been able to invent a number of uniquely powerful devices or expand upon those already distributed. He has also designed the organisation's autonomous puppets, used for fighting or otherwise simple tasks. Each member of Kara was granted monstrous capabilities while outfitted with his technological advancements. This includes devices that could heal virtually any injury, weapons that could counter an individual's regenerative abilities, and devices that could absorb, store, and release absorbed ninjutsu. He also developed a powerful virus capable of incapacitating those who are exposed to it. He was even able to modify Kawaki down to the level of his circulatory and nervous systems, implanting inside him an extremely high level of Shinobi-Ware in the form of microscopic scientific ninja tools implanted throughout his entire body. Even the genius engineer, Katasuke Tōno, expressed awe at the level with which Amado had turned Kawaki into a living Scientific Ninja Tool and later noting that it was above his own level of expertise. Amado is also capable of restoring the arm Kawaki lost to Delta's Destruction Beam. Such modifications afforded him the opportunity to include shutdown commands into their shinobi-ware. Amado makes regular use of computers and tablets, using them to store the organisation's most vital information, monitor his teammates when operating on them, or check the status of his other scientific ninja tools. Amado has revealed a number of tools that he can summon into his possession. Even when immobilised, he can programme them to activate with slight gestures. He makes use of devices such as explosive collars and a drug capable of instantly knocking people out that he administers through needles from his gloves. Against Shikadai, he used a tool shaped like a tuning fork to repel and reverse his Shadow Imitation Technique. For espionage, he's developed tools that can be used to gather information, such as Delta's drone that can sense chakra, track invisible targets, and store information whilst being hidden from sensors. He can also modify and make use of animals. With similar modifications, he has been able to share their vision or project what they see, using his glasses.
