"Then let me see whether you're even grown up yet!"
Jiyan grinned, both hands already encased in rock as he suddenly swung at Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi's gaze was icy. With a sidestep, she directly evaded Jiyan's heavy punch.
The next second, she grabbed Jiyan by both arms and exerted force, flinging him away.
"Boom!"
His entire body flew out and smashed viciously into the wall of the Tsuchikage's Office.
Dust rose everywhere.
"Cough, damn it..."
Once the dust settled, Jiyan forced himself up, preparing to climb off the wall.
At that moment, a transparent white cube that had long been forming in Kurotsuchi's hand suddenly appeared before Jiyan.
Jiyan's pupils abruptly constricted.
"This is! Dust Release?! How is that possible?!"

Kurotsuchi's expression darkened. The transparent white cube hovering before Jiyan did not move forward.
Instead, she instantly appeared before Jiyan and sharply raised her leg.
Her foot slammed viciously into Jiyan's chest.
"Puh—"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, the pupils in his eyes turning white.
His body trembled faintly.
Everyone around them who had thought Jiyan had excellent odds of winning changed expression, drawing sharp breaths.
They had never imagined that Jiyan would be beaten so badly by Kurotsuchi.

The difficulty of Dust Release was not something Earth Release could compare to.

It required at least three chakra nature transformations.
They had no idea how Kurotsuchi had managed to learn it.
"Do you still want to challenge me now?"
Kurotsuchi's long, pale leg ground viciously back and forth
