Violent Clash of the Swords

Kenshin and Enishi draw their swords and extend them out to meet one another. Once the swords have crossed paths, Enishi makes the first move. He crouches down and executes a move he calls Sen Ran Tou Sei. Enishi furiously spins around, almost like a tornado, striking Kenshin with his sword. The rurouni manages to block all of Enishi's blows until his tachi gets stuck in a tree bark. Kenshin takes advantage of the situation by springing off a nearby tree and following through with the Kuzu Ryu Sen. Though, no tree can hold Enishi. Determined to kill Kenshin, he frees his weapon by cutting the tree to shreds with his Sen Ran Tou Sei and even manages to block all nine blows of the Kuzu Ryu Sen. The two clash their swords once again, but fall to the ground shortly after due to the impact of the shock created.

Both combatants get to their feet. Enishi notes that the match is at a draw, so he says the determining factor shall be not strength, speed, or technique, but height. What Enishi has shown off so far is just a taste of his Watoujutsu.
