Rurouni Kenshin Chapter 233: On the back of the man Part 6 - Mountain Sounds
Thanks to Wuken for the summary and the scans too!!!
Fudosawa orders the 200 man army to go on a complete rampage, and
that
their first order of business is to tear old man Kamishimoemon apart. But
something stands in their way.

Fudosawa asks what the street fighter wants... if it's to give an apology,
it's too late for that. Sanosuke tells him that's not why he's here. The
day before yesterday, Sanosuke says, Fudosawa hired a street fighter. He's
come to pay him back. If Fudosawa and company are going to head on over to
kill stubborn old Higashidani, then he's going to beat them all on this
mountain road -- with a single fist.
The mob gets violent, but Fudosawa silences them. He takes off his upper
shirt, and slams the large rock beside him, leaving a 0.5 inch imprint in
it. The mob cries out that this is the boss's favorite hobby -- 'Onidaoshi'
("Demon Beating" (this involves smashing the face of an opponent with an
outstretched hand, I think -- I'm not very familiar with sumo wrestling).
Fudosawa declares that Sanosuke's blood will be the first to be spilled.
Sanosuke tells him that sumo wrestling is crap, and that in reality,
Fudosawa's just a fat slob. Fudosawa rushes in for the kill.

His attack manages to leave some dust on Sanosuke's cheek. Fudosawa doesn't
understand why the slap didn't work. Sanosuke says that Onidaoshi is
ineffective, and that the only thing that is equal to his own fist is the
incarnation of the Sun King. With a punch he slams Fudosawa back on the
rock, who then quickly hides behind it. Sanosuke asks if Fudosawa's plan
now is to play tag, or maybe hide-and-seek.
After some banter, Sanosuke takes out Fudosawa with the Futae no Kiwami
from behind the rock.

The mob can't believe that the huge rock has been reduced to smithereens,
and that their boss is down. Sanosuke motions to "come and get it", and the
mob rushes in, asking if the street fighter thinks he can defeat an army of
200 opponents.

Meanwhile, Outa takes off to go join the fight (he rocks!).

Outa comes upon his father on the road. The villagers begin to wonder what
could be making all those sounds coming from the mountain.

Sanosuke is obviously enjoying himself. Kamishimoemon wakes up, and
understands why Outa came. The old man says that even if Outa is always
being protected by Uki, the young boy is still a man, after all.
Kamishimoemon informs Outa that that idiot street fighter is going to get
himself killed, and that they should hurry to help him. He hopes they are
in time.
They needn't have worried.
