There was no clan in all of Konoha that didn't recognize the Adamantine Staff.
It was created from the Monkey King Enma, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Summoning Beast.
Back when the Nine-Tails attacked the village, no one could stop it.
Only Hiruzen Sarutobi, though retired, had managed to brace the Adamantine Staff across his arms and shove the Nine-Tails several kilometers with a single strike, forcing the immeasurably heavy beast from inside the village to outside its walls.
