Seeing Hyuga Akira distracted, Nawaki leaped toward him again, raising his fist and swinging it down hard.
Hyuga Akira had no desire to try the Senju Clan's Monster Strength technique, so he hopped lightly backward to dodge.
Nawaki did not stop swinging his fist, however, and slammed it into the ground instead.

His big brother Hyuga Akira had not used any of his strength at all. He was simply toying with him.
Hyuga Akira turned sideways to avoid Nawaki's charging strike. Nawaki landed and swept his leg around, but Hyuga Akira lightly hopped backward to dodge.

Spikes erupted from the ground once again, but Hyuga Akira flipped and leaped out of their way.
"Looks like you won't let me off
