A moment later.
The two backed away.
Kazahana Dōtō let out a provocative laugh. "Konoha's White Demon... you're nothing special after all..."
Faced with his taunt,
Hyuga Sho remained perfectly calm. "Is that all the power you have?"
"What?"
If this were the real Patriot Armor,
it should have other abilities as well.
For example, beam cannons in the hands,
flames fired from the limbs for flight,
cluster missiles... and other weapons.
And through the Byakugan's penetrating vision,
Hyuga Sho could clearly see...
that the Patriot Armor was indeed equipped with all those weapons.
However,
Kazahana Dōtō seemed unable to activate them.
"You don't know how to use this Patriot Armor at all, do you?"
After exchanging blows for a moment,
Hyuga Sho had analyzed his opponent's weakness.
If it truly performed as it had in the movie... then the Patriot Armor was indeed powerful.
If Kazahana Dōtō fired cluster missiles, Hyuga Sho wasn't sure he could emerge unscathed.
And even if he could defeat his opponent,
the flight ability provided by the Patriot Armor would allow Kazahana Dōtō to escape with ease.
But now...
Kazahana Dōtō was like a reckless brute.
He only knew how to use it as ordinary armor, relying on punches that struck flesh.
"You bastard...!"
His sore spot had apparently been hit.
Kazahana Dōtō instantly became furious.
"If that's all you're capable of..."
Hyuga Sho cut him off.
"Then... die!"
With those words, the Bone Spikes growing from Hyuga Sho's back began to hum in unison.
Like a volcanic eruption,
violent white Wind Release currents surged from the Bone Spikes.
At the same time,
Hyuga Sho activated Wind Release within his body.
The ground beneath his feet was also infused with the power of Magnet Release.
