Ensui Nara (奈良エンスイ, Nara Ensui) is a member of Konohagakure's Nara clan.

Appearance

Like all known members of his clan, Ensui has black hair which he ties into a short, high-top ponytail. He also has a goatee and dark markings around his eyes which gives him a somewhat lazy or tired appearance. Attire-wise he wears the standard attire of a Konoha shinobi consisting of the standard flak jacket and uniform. He doesn't wear the Allaince's forehead protector however.

Abilities

Ensui seems to be very skilled with his clan's secret techniques being able to use the Shadow Imitation Technique to different degrees where he could freely allow a person to move while under the effects of the technique without having to move himself. He is also capable of using the Shadow Sewing Technique as well.

Part II

Shinobi World War Arc

Kakashi's strategy, initiated.

Ensui was assigned to the Third Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces. His team-mate along with Santa Yamanaka were incorporated into Kakashi's battle strategy to take out a reincarnated Zabuza Momochi in order to lift the mist that obscured the battlefield. He used his Shadow Imitation Technique to merge his own shadow with Kakashi's while Santa took possession of their captain's body. He was supposed to then use Kakashi's shadow as an extension of the technique to stop Zabuza's movements and then hold him down once Kakashi's shadow had come into contact with Zabuza's in order for Maki to completely immobilise him. However, half way through the plan, Kakashi attack was intercepted by Haku. After Zabuza cuts through Haku, Ensui tells Santa that Kakashi only caught one enemy and immobilises Haku as he regenerates. When Kakashi successfully connects his shadow to Zabuza's, he binds Zabuza as well.
