Monkey King Enma's transformation technique, which is characterised by the hardness of diamond and its at-will extendibility, the Adamantine Staff is the [[Third Hokage]]'s "weapon of choice", so to speak and with it in hand he's made it through a world of war for an extended period of time.

Enma is shown to [[clone]] himself while in his staff form for use in the [[Adamantine Prison Wall]].
When Enma is transformed into the Adamantine Staff, it is possible for him to attack on his own free will, with his claws and fangs 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]].

Revision as of 21:04, 22 July 2020

The user transforms into a staff for their summoner to use as a weapon; Enma's staff form was the preferred weapon of Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose heavy use of it through decades of warfare contributed to his reputation as a "God of Shinobi". The staff is as hard as diamond, making it very destructive. This also renders it largely impervious to damage, making it useful as a defence;[1] despite this, Enma still feels pain from clashing with the Sword of Kusanagi.[2] The staff is also able to extend to great lengths,[1] enough that, in the anime, it could push the Nine-Tails beyond the borders of Konohagakure.[3] The user can produce any part of his regular body from the staff, such as his claws or fangs, to surprise opponents.[1]

Enma is shown to clone himself while in his staff form for use in the Adamantine Prison Wall.
