"This is good" Kenichi mumbled as he watched the two fight.
The two masters stayed still for a few seconds before Sakaki's left fist began to slowly push forward towards Hongo's waist. The disciples could see that out of all the attack patterns, Sakaki's fist was the only sure-fire one to reach his opponent.
Motionless Sand Cloud Bomb
Sakaki's slow thrust suddenly turned into a devastating attack, only for Hongo to be able to predict the attack and intercept it, intending to destroy Sakaki's left arm with Kyouha Kumikizushi. Sakaki noticed this attempt and quickly drew back his power and tried to land a high roundhouse kick, only for Hongo to react and counter with his own high kick. The kicks connected to each other, pushing them back upon impact. With the first action finally fired, Sakaki and Hongo began to fire a barrage of kicks and punches, each attack never landing a vital hit.
Shizuha after getting the information from Kenichi had sent Natasha forward to go beside Kenichi and Miu to watch the fight while she stayed close by to step up in case help was needed.
Natasha understood the situation and went forward to see the fight clearly so she appeared next to Miu and Kenichi and started to watch the fight while she secretly gave the m.essaage of Shizuha to them to be aware of the surrounding and not let their guard down and that she wasn't that far from them.
The two nodded their heads while continuing to watch the fight but they still remained vigilant.
Their clash took them up towards the top of a five-story building, scaling the walls as if they were stairs. Sho, Kenichi, Miu and Natahsa quickly jumped up, scaling the wall Kenichi was just a step behind the two masters while the other three were doing it at a slower pace to catch up with the fight.
"What's wrong, Sakaki?" hummed Hongo as they landed on the ceiling, "I expected your full concentration on our duel. Something has you slightly distracted."
"Tch, so you noticed," grumbled Sakaki, "Nothing to worry about. Just making sure we don't have any interference."
Hongo's eyes narrowed before widening at that, taking a quick look around. There was nothing that he could see that was suspicious, but considering Sakaki's words, there had to be something more. He knew that several Yami masters, especially Jenazad, were interested in Kenichi, and lacked the moral compass that he had.
"To think you'd be attached to your disciple," chuckled Hongo, "Weren't you one to never take disciples? Then again, when one has such a genius, even you would capitulate."
"Hehe, you are right about that" grinned Sakaki, "But enough of that. We have a duel to finish!"
Sho felt his eyes straining to keep up with everything that was going on. Sure, he knew his master was awesome and one of the best in the One Fist Nine Shadows. And surely someone whom he viewed as his rival was just as good, though if not below his master, though. But the staggering amount of technique, power, and speed being performed was somewhat beyond him. He was tempted to use SeiDo Goitsu to keep up, but shelved that away. He needed the training anyways, and to use such a thing as a crutch would ruin him. Instead, he focused on pushing his insight to its limits so he could comprehend the battle before him.
Taking a peek over to Miu, Kenichi and their new friend that joined them, he frowned as he saw that Kenichi's insight still surpassed his, though he wasn't surprised but it still hurt to see someone of his age so much stronger than him.
'Focus!' lectured Sho to himself as he turned his full attention back onto the fight, moving just in time to dodge several shards of glass from Sakaki's punch towards some LED lights that had been falling down. The three of them were standing at a building away from the roof, but close enough to analyze the fight.
Despite a water tank falling down with an exposed electrical wire hitting the water, the two masters ignored the electrical shock as they continued to fight on. Hongo's sunglasses had long been tossed aside from the fight, both master's eyes glowing with Ki as each sent a barrage of fists to each other.
"You still put your life on the line without trying to kill me! No matter the situation, you're still a selfish man!" growled Hongo as he parried a fist.
"You always complain about the logic behind the way to fight other people, you boorish man!" boomed Sakaki as he pushed away a knife-hand thrust.
"Do you want me to kill someone that has no intention of killing back!" shouted Hongo.
"You conceited idiot, nobody is going to die today!" roared Sakaki back.
Metsujou Raigou Nukite
Hongo rapidly sent a series of knife-hand stabs at Sakaki, who parried them all until one got through his defense, aiming for his stomach. With a fierce thrust, the knife hand pierced through Sakaki's stomach.
"Sakaki!" shouted Kenichi in worry and cursed himself for not forcing Sakaki to learn the barrier technique like Apachai.
Hongo, however, noticed something was immediately wrong. His thrust had pierced through the torso, but he noticed the lack of organs that was supposed to have been pierced.
"You raised your internal organs!?" questioned Hongo.
"Haha, you noticed it too late!" grinned Sakaki as he coughed out blood, "Take this!"
Morote Seiken Hasami Geri
Sakaki slammed his fists together while launching a devastating kick to Hongo's face.
Immediately, Hongo used Dakki Kuzushi Gawashi, disrupting Sakaki's attack for a split second as he shifted his body. Sakaki's kick ended up cutting into Hongo's shoulders, but it didn't knock him out. However, Sakaki had expected this already.
"I'm already familiar with your way of fighting! Now that you've lowered your guard, eat this!"
Morote Enpi Tobi Hizageri
A dual elbow strike to the face and a knee to the chest slammed into Hongo, who had no way to dodge it.
"Master Hongo!" shouted Sho in worry at this attack.

Unbeknownst to them another party was watching their fight but this party was watching from well enough distance.
"These-these guys are monsters" said one of the agents as he looked at the video of the fight which is being shot by the high resolution camera and a drone.
"We can't see their moves even if we slow it down" said another agent.
"It doesn't matter we will send the data to headquarters and let them deal with it, it's not our job to think about it" said the leader of the team.
"Yes sir" said the rest of the team and they became silent again.
