Hiruzen Sarutobi was absolutely delighted.
According to quite a few rumors, strange sounds could often be heard near the Hokage Office Building lately.
Even though the building had excellent soundproofing...
But while he was delighted, the leaders of the other villages were all in terrible moods.
"Damn it, it really was Dust Release?!"
In Iwagakure, Ōnoki stared at the pale-faced Wenya before him, his face full of anger and disbelief.
"How did they learn Dust Release? Who are they? Why do they have this ability?!"
"Lord Tsuchikage, I..."
Despite towering over the diminutive Ōnoki, Wenya could not get a single word out.
The little old man's presence was far too oppressive. The terrifying aura erupting from his anger left Wenya feeling suffocated!
He could barely even form a complete sentence now.
"Ah..."
Seeing his subordinate like this, Ōnoki could not help sighing.
He knew he was getting a little too worked up, but he really could not calm down.
In some respects, Dust Release meant no less to Iwagakure than Wood Release did to Konoha!
And in Ōnoki's eyes, Dust Release was even more distinctive than Wood Release.

With sufficient talent and strict adherence to the recorded instructions, one could perfectly fuse three types of chakra in specific proportions to produce Dust Release.
That made it a village-defining treasure that could be reproduced and passed down even without inheriting a bloodline!
It could be passed down through generations in Iwagakure, ensuring the village always held a place in the shinobi world. Yet now someone else had actually used it?
Ōnoki could hardly believe it, much less accept it!
Although a kekkei tōta required only one more type of chakra to be fused
