Zotawa was violently engaging Kenshōjo, her martial arts infused with Kami no Chikara helping her face Zotawa's dual katanas. She would weave and the deal damage. She was perfectly countering his fighting style.
Kenshōjo: Quite sad. I expected better from a Ronin.
Zotawa coughed up blood but smirked.
Zotawa: Oh please. I'm not done yet. He rushed in at her and used his Cross-Cutter Slash on her. She dodged but he followed it up with an improvised technique, Footsweep Slash. He used both katanas to slice at her leg which she narrily avoided throwing her footing on the landing off.
Zotawa hit her with a knee to the stomach, a kick to the side, and a spin kick to the head. All of these discombobulated Kenshōjo before Zotawa managed to cut off one of her hands.
Kenshōjo used her Kami no Chikara to numb the pain and she fell backwards onto her ass.
Kenshōjo: I surrender. You clearly hid your true strength.
Zotawa: Actually I improvised.
Kenshōjo laughed at that. She smiled at him.
Kenshōjo: For a criminal, you sure are an amusing fellow. Maybe I should be revaluating my life.
Zotawa smirked before running off to help Lei-Lei.
Lei-Lei was fending off Pointo but she was struggling. Even with the legendary arm of the Return Kunai which let her teleport to it in sticky situations, she wasn't a hand to hand fighter like Pointo. She specialized in poison kunais. She was trying to poison Pointo but he left her no openings.
Until, Pointo suddenly blocked an attack from Zotawa.
Pointo: So Kenshōjo fell.
Zotawa: Actually she surrendered.
Pointo: Shameful. I will kill her after you two for such a cowardly act.
Pointo pushed Zotawa back and rushed at Lei-Lei. But Zotawa grabbed him. And Lei-Lei manged to stab him with some poison.
Pointo: Ack!
Pointo broke free and dashed up to a roof.
Pointo: No matter, I'll kill you Katsukura...then I'll take the anti-venom off your corpse-
He was then beheaded. His head rolled off the roof. Then his body. Zotawa and Lei-Lei watched in shock. Then a big elderly looking man appeared.
Zotawa: Hey old bastard, did you kill him.
The old man held a a large katana and jumped down, he was wearing shinobi armor with a belt, full of tools most swordsman consider dishonorable to use in battle.
???: You are wanted there Zotawa Rodin. For a decent sum too. And the girl, I'm sure she'd fetch a bonus.
Zotawa: And who are you.
???: My name? Well that's easy. It's Shinjuku Mishimura.
Zotawa & Lei-Lei: MISHIMURA!?!
Zotawa: Wait...are you related to a Kachito Mishimura?
Shinjuku: Hm? Oh yeah. That pathetic boy is my disappointment of a son. Way worse than my other son.
Zotawa and Lei-Lei got ready to fight as Shinjuku laughed mockingly.
