Nagano Akane (Eternal Deep Red, 茜長の, Akane Nagano) is a powerful shinobi armed with a great mutation. Hailing from Kumogakure, he was born into the times of instability and turmoil of the land; when the giant imbalance of natural energy from the Shinju attack was in full swing. As a result, much like many of the children born in those years, he gained a mutation based on his clan and affinity.
