Deepa (ディーパ, Dīpa) is an Inner from the organisation Kara.

Personality

Deepa will kill people without any hesitation. Due to his inhumanity and atrociousness, he isn't understood by others. Sadistic by nature, Deepa treats his target as prey for a hunt, looking down on them as beneath him. He relishes in the fear and pain he can inflict on others, even toying with them to give them false hope. At the same time, he is very battle-crazed, enjoying a good challenge if he can find it. Apparently a cannibal, he talks about devouring his foes and cooking their corpses. He is also very vain, viewing his refined-carbon form as the most beautiful thing in the world. Determined to keep himself a mystery, he is committed to killing anyone who is not an ally once they see his face. However, he seems to have some honour as he didn't kill Omoi after promising his team he wouldn't kill him if they reveal the location of the Hashirama Cell, killing his team instead. He also has a sense of responsibility, putting his mission before his personal joy.

Appearance

Deepa's full appearance.

Deepa is a tall and pale man of skinny yet well-defined built with short greyish purple hair and orange red eyes. He has a tattoo of Roman numeral "Ⅶ" below his eyes and light blue lipstick. He wears a dark cloak and shinobi sandals. Beneath his cloak, Deepa wears a blue collared midriff shirt, a symmetrically bi-coloured apron tied around his waist, a long glove on his left arm and an armour-like fingerless glove on his right.

Abilities

As an Inner of Kara, Deepa is regarded as being completely monstrous in terms of strength and ability, and had his body modified with Scientific Ninja Tools by Amado. He was capable of easily defeating the likes of Omoi, a veteran of the famous Fourth Shinobi World War, and his team and effortlessly handling Boruto Uzumaki, Mitsuki, and Sarada Uchiha, killing all of the former group but Omoi and nearly killing the latter group.

Physical Prowess

Specialising in close-range combat, he is blazingly fast and ferocious in taijutsu, able to strike down most foes with a single blow and could easily pressure and eventually defeat a master kenjutsu user like Omoi, despite him having aid from other 2 accomplished swordsman. He is also very strong, able to effortlessly lift a grown man in the air with a single hand. He has considerable aim, able to nonchalantly throw a simple dining knife at the bullseye of a dartboard without even looking.

Ninjutsu

Deepa is able to control the molecular-bonding of the carbon that he is exposed to, whether that he makes contact with or that is in his body. By properly rearranging them, his body becomes super durable. A byproduct of this is it causes his skin to dark black and reflective akin to metal, which can also turn the edges of his fingers into razor-sharp talons. He can control the change to affect any or all parts of his body. His body becomes so highly resilient, able to endure Lightning Release assaults unfazed and block blades with his bare arm. Even powerful explosions and techniques like the Rasengan have virtually no affect on him. His metallic form also greatly enhances his strength, as a mere finger-flick can send a foe flying and his serious strikes are strong enough to pierce through a person's chest. Alternatively, he can telekinetically manipulate said carbon and launch it as powerful projectiles.

New Era

Kara Actuation Arc

Main article: Kara Actuation Arc Deepa was present when Jigen called a meeting with the Inners, informing them of the destruction of one their facilities in Amegakure set by an Outer.

Somewhere in the unknown location, Deepa watches the pass while eating a fruit before dropping from a stone pillar. When a sample of Hashirama Senju's cells was stolen from Victor's company, Deepa was brought in to retrieve it. He learned that it was sold in the Land of Silence. Victor insisted to be a covert as possible in his mission, but Deepa didn't listen. Upon arriving in Curtain Village, Deepa attended a bar and ate a meal there while all of its other occupants were dead. He casually paid for his meal and left.

Deepa overwhelming Omoi's team.

Upon investigating Fūshu Castle, he learned that Sakuya was recently killed, allegedly by Konoha-nin. Deepa slaughtered several looters to extract all the information available. He soon tracked down the Konoha-nin of Team 7. Realising that they did not have the Hashirama Cell, he demanded to be told where it was. Omoi and his team of Kumo-nin decided to face Deepa while the Konoha-nin went on ahead to retrieve the Hashirama Cell from the true culprits. Despite the Kumo-nin's best efforts, Deepa was able to easily counter their every attack, swiftly taking down his foes.

Ultimately, Deepa soundly defeated Omoi, and began questioning him about the Hashirama Cell's location. While he refused to speak, Kakui and Marui soon recovered. Refusing to let Omoi die, they revealed that the target was on its way to the Land of Haze. Deepa promptly killed Omoi's team-mates, choosing to spare Omoi as he promised to, before making his way to the Land of Haze.

He soon caught of to the remaining two Haze Quadruplets and Konoha-nin, striking down the former with a sneak attack. As Deepa calmly showed off his impervious body, Victor arrived, deciding that Deepa was taking too much time and causing too much of a scene. Victor promptly faced off against the two jōnin while Deepa faced the genin, much to his displeasure. The genin tried to coordinate their efforts, but Deepa's technique proved unfazed and quickly defeated them. Asaka, the last of the quadruplets, offered to hand over the Hashirama Cell. Deepa gladly accepted the offer, but was then deceived by Asaka, who used his kinjutsu to kill Deepa, while utterly failed. As Deepa turned his attention back on a fallen Boruto, Deepa was surprised by Mitsuki's Sage Transformation. While unable to hurt Deepa, it slowed down the Inner long enough for Mitsuki to retreat with his team-mates. Reluctantly, Deepa decided not to pursue as he had the intended goal of the Hashirama Cell. He and Victor then returned to the lab.
