Yū did not pursue immediately. Compared to close-quarters combat, the Monstrous Strength Fist only worked if it struck the opponent. If he let himself be marked by the Flying Thunder God, he would be at a severe disadvantage.

No matter how strong one's dynamic vision was, it was useless if the body could not react even after catching sight of the opponent.
"It seems Jiraiya's disciple has grown quite a bit."
