This staff was able to destroy the [[Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees|wooden structures]] created by [[Hashirama]], the original [[Wood Release]] user, and using it, the Third was able to smash [[Kurama]] to the borders of the village. When Enma is transformed into the Adamantine Staff, it is possible for him to attack of his own free will using his claws and fangs which protrude from the staff itself, adding an element of surprise and irregularity. Forged in the fire of battle, its at-will transformation-based attack and defence go beyond the scope of proficiency, to attain the realm of shinobi "godhood". The main method of attack consists in strikes and thrusts that take advantage of its ability to extend. The hardness of diamond also translates into destructive power. Despite its hardness, Enma stated that he could still suffer damage from weapons such as the [[Sword of Kusanagi (Orochimaru)|Kusanagi]] wielded by [[Orochimaru]]. == Trivia == * The concept of an extendible staff is based on the story of [[Wikipedia:Sun Wukong|Sun Wukong]] and his [[Wikipedia:Ruyi Jingu Bang|Ruyi Jingu Bang]]. * A ''[[Wikipedia:Ruyi (scepter)|nyoi]]'', which can be translated as ''priest's staff'' but literally means ''as one (a person) wishes'', is an auspicious decorative object associated with Chinese Buddhist rituals. It was made from bone or jade, with a head shaped either as a cloud or as a ''[[Wikipedia:Lingzhi mushroom|lingzhi mushroom]]'' and had a slightly curved handle, but the production and use of these objects declined after the Tang Dynasty. * [[Wikipedia:Vajra|Vajra]], which is {{translation|"Kongō"|金剛}} in Japanese, is a mythical material that is said to be able to cut through any substance, but it itself, cannot be cut. == References == <references/> Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel
