Monkey King: Enma (猿猴王・猿魔, Enkōō: Enma) is the personal summon of Kebun.
Personality[]
He is a companion of Sasuke, and one of the few people Sasuke is quite fond of. Enma is fiercely loyal to Sasuke, although he on some occasions didn't always approve of his actions.
Appearance[]
Enma.
Customary of most monkeys, Enma's body and tail is covered by white fur which protrude from his sleeves and pants. He has long white hair that reached into his back and long sideburns and a goatee. He wears a black suit with mesh armor underneath, over which he wears a sleeveless, kimono shirt with white, fur trimmings and markings reminiscent of tiger stripes on it which is held closed by a sash. Enma also wears a Konoha Forehead Protector.

Abilities[]
Enma in his staff mode.
Enma is capable of using Transformation: Adamantine Staff, which allows him to turn into a large, extendible staff that is as hard as adamantine, though despite its hardness, Enma has said that the Kusanagi sword can cut him. He can even push Kurama out of the village rather easily. He can also produce various body parts, such as eyes or arms, from the staff. Additionally, Enma can still move on his own in the staff form, allowing him to return to Sasuke. Enma can even clone himself in his staff form, turning him into any number of smaller staffs that he uses for Adamantine Prison Wall, a move that can even protect against Hashirama Senju's Wood Release techniques.
Outside of this, he himself is physically very strong, easily manhandling the likes Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju in a brief hand-to-hand combat when they tried to keep him from transforming. He also shows knowledge of various techniques and their effects or drawbacks.
Trivia[]
- Enma is one of ten summoned animals that wear a forehead protector suggesting that his loyalty is strictly to Konoha. The others are the Ningame of Might Guy and the eight ninken of Kakashi Hatake.
- When Enma vanishes after Hiruzen dies, he takes Orochimaru's Sword of Kusanagi with him; it is unknown how Orochimaru retrieved it.
- Enma is a caricature of the legendary Chinese Monkey King, Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong carries a staff which grows and shrinks at will and wears the pelt of a legendary tiger as well.
- In Buddhism, Enma is one of the twelve Deva. He's chief judge in the afterlife, when a person dies they must appear before Enma (and also before other judges), who decides whether the person is good or bad; the person is then sent to the most appropriate afterworld. Among the judges of hell, Enma is the most important.
