The Yokozuna looked around at the cheering crowd before he faced Tennoji, "You sure are popular. Looks like the sumo world will be in good hands after I've taken my leave", his aura intensifies.

Tennoji only smirked, "You sure run your mouth. Such a bad Yokozuna. Bring it on", as his aura intensifies to match that of the Yokozuna's.

Two champions.

Two Kings battling it out.

Who will win?

No one’s POV

**Flashback**

Back when the National Treasures were in High School, Yokozuna Jinou visited Tottori Hakurou. 

“Say Tennoji, what do say about coming to my stable when you graduate?”, Jinou asked the teenager. 

Tennoji looked at the Yokozuna and smirked, “Certainly is appealing. However, if I was at the same stable as you, then we wouldn’t be able to fight against each other at tournaments. I want to fight an all-out match with you”.

Lexi’s POV

I remember as if it was yesterday when Shido stated that he wanted a full on fight with the Yokozuna and he has been doing everything he can to fulfil that declaration. Despite all the other National Treasures, Shido was the only one the Yokozuna tried to recruit. 

“Everyone expects a lot from him”, uncle Shiba said from next to me, “Even amongst all the others, his presence stands out. Walking down the path of an elite, yet he is certainly the people’s champion”.

“Dojikiri-zeki”

“Dojikiri-san, you’re the best”

“Dojikiri, go for it”

I nodded my head after hearing the crowd cheer for my husband.

“He always remains professional”, uncle Yama said from the other side of me, “he always considers his fans with that smile he has and he has a sincere response making him favoured by the media. He also certainly has the capacity to be a leader as he is loved by the people and is trusted by wrestlers all around”. 

“Hmm”, I mumbled. But I sometimes wonder if the people sometimes expect too much. 

Both wrestlers get into a crouched position.

“Spirit” The referee declares, beginning the battle.

Jinou charges forward, but Shido only waits. ‘Shido you can’t stand there. Don’t forget this is a Yokozuna you’re against’, I thought.

Jinou struck out to Shido’s neck, making me wince. Uncle Shiba took hold of my hand and uncle Yama placed his arm around my shoulders. The way the Yokozuna fought, the multiple strikes, movements and expressions was as if Shido was fighting multiple wrestlers at the same time.

However, unlike most wrestlers who have one technique that they have honed, Shido once said that he doesn’t want to be shackled by one style. He wants it so that whatever technique he is faced with, he can counter it’, I thought as I continued to watch the bout. Shido was certainly holding his own and from the looks of it, pissing Jinou off. I saw Shido move in, grabbing the mawashi belt. There was a struggle before Shido grabbed out and adjusted his grip on the mawashi belt. The Yokozuna looled down and was glaring at Shido. The glare was so sharp, I'm surprised Shido wasn't cut by it.
