Ena, the heiress of the Kinju, and Uzumaki Mito are childhood friends. Then several years later the tragic things started to happen. A certain Senju decided to make an appearance and Ena felt jumpy and bubbly when he's around. Mito never knew of her friend's attraction to Hashirama and thought nothing of the weird reddish tint on Ena's cheeks.

Years and years later Mito and Hashirama announced their marriage. Ena was crest-fallen. She wanted both her friend and love to be happy, but in a different way, where she is also happy.

Ena failing to keep both her friend and one-sided love she attempted to eliminate the Uzumaki and Senju. Going by the statement if I can't have my happiness then they shall all share my despair. For suggesting the destruction of both clans and for accusing them of false 'crimes' she was shunned by her people.

Filled with anger she ran away with an attempt to work on her own, meeting a depressed Madara during the process. Ena offered her help in defeating Hashirama and Tobirama, Madara accepted her help when she insisted that she wanted 'revenge'.

Madara showed up, with Ena secretly working with him. While he confronted Hashirama and Tobirama, Ena is hidden, disguised as a pile of leaves inside his kunai pouch. At the right moment she attacked them and managed to slightly injure them. But the battle was halted when Madara fell to the ground, with the turn of events; Ena hid herself and watched as Madara accepted the truce.

Furious with him she, again, ran away. She watched as Konohagakure is formed. She watched as Hashirama and Mito got married. She could have stopped it but she can't kill them. Happiness is all she wanted but, in her eyes, she was deprived of it.

One night in the middle of the forest she was visited by Madara. He offered her to come back but she refused.

"This is what you call peace? Peace can never exist in this world, Uchiha-sama. You have a weak spot and Senju hit it dead center. Foolish man," She turned away from him, her long black hair swaying in the wind. "Speak to me once you are enlightened." After one last look with her golden eyes she vanished.

Several years later the historical battle between Madara and Hashirama happened. Ena watched everything happen from the Kyubi to the wooden dragons, from the beast ball to the sword piercing Madara's chest.

With a deep sigh she watched as the Kyubi was sealed inside Mito before heading towards Uzushiogakure. Without Madara she doesn't have anyone to help her reach her goals. She decided to return to the village. Relatively moving slowly she would stop once in a while; she's not in any hurry. No one would care.

Before stepping foot in the village she saw Madara and stopped, looking surprised by the sudden appearance. He had a clay-like substance inside his body. Speechless beyond comparison she uttered the words. "I suppose that's a new way of healing; placing unsanitary objects inside your wound."

Madara glared at the woman. "Unsanitary or not it kept me alive and that's all that matters."

"Clearly, the great Uchiha cannot accept defeat and found a way to escape death." She mocked.

Madara continued to glare at her with his arms crossed. "Are you testing my patience?"

"I never planned on it." She answered.

"Do you have a death wish, Kinju-hime?"

"No I already have my death scheduled, Uchiha-sama." Was her answer, before walking away.

"Stop," Madara ordered.

Turning into leaves and reforming beside a tree she placed her hands inside her kimono's sleeves. "Are you here to admit you're wrong about 'peace'?"

"Partially, you are right about peace... But, I have found a way to achieve an eternity of peace."

"I can see that we need to take you to a medic-nin who specializes in the function of the human brain. Peace cannot be gained, it never will be."

"You are wrong." Madara insisted.

"There is a saying I believe Play with fire and suffer its consequences." She said before her feet and hands turned into dead leaves.

"What are you doing?" Madara asked, suspiciously.

"Death brings peace to those who deserve it. Reincarnation brings life to those who suffer. Life brings misery to every person. Remember this when you fail, Madara." She said before she disappeared completely. She wanted to return home to die at her homeland.

From childhood's hour I have not been. As others were, I have not seen. As others saw, I could not awaken. My heart to joy at the same tone. And all I loved, I loved alone.
