Personal thoughts.
Just to put this out there, mates---
A clansman cannot be stronger than a king, Nor can they even Kill a king. A Kings power level further exceeds their underlings. That power is given to them by their higher-ups, but, it's only a cinch of their power, so that they are able to utlitize it.
Now I'm aware that Other Clansman such as Yukari, Kuroh, Yata, As well as Saruhiko are very good at combat. Three characters having an expertise at sword play, the other is skilled at a japanese martial art called Bō or Bōjutsu. (Yata being skilled at it, naturally)
Now, Yukari was known to have almost "strike" down Ichigen Miwa. But there's a reason where he was almost "Killed". ichigen had no intention with ever wanting to kill his disciple. He had the utmost advantage to kill Yukari easily if he wanted to, due to the fact that he is far more skilled in SWORD play, than Yukari, himself. Also, his abilities as a King would easily strike Yukari in less of a millisecond; why do I say this? In K project seven stories, Ichigen Miwa was able to show what he was capable of, whence he had intervened between Reisi Munakata's fight, with Mikoto. You can clearly see that Ichigen was strong enough to even blow back Mikoto's Aura, with a simple----piercing glare, that caused just a wave of power, putting The Red king out like a match stick. This shows, how brutally strong, Miwa is, even with a simple stare. Miwa is the Second Strongest King Along side Daikaku, as well as Nagare being the third. Ranking in as second strongest: Ichigen. AS ALWAYS Kokokuji, being the First. Anyways, In the end ichigen refused to ever want to harm Mishakuji, Because he cared about him. That in it of itself, is reasonable. Yukari had even said it himself, That ichigen was holding back. He is no match for him, or any other king, generally, and will be UNABLE to kill a king Unless he is a king himself.
Now, Kuroh, Yukari, Ichigen, they were like family, but fated to have a different destiny in the future. Kuroh Didnt call Yukari "older brother" or in Japanese terms "Aniue", for nothing. Yukari didn't just have one "family" but two, Sukuna, Nagare and Iwa, being his second "family" including the one with, Ichigen Miwa, and Kuroh, which will always be the first.
As for saruhiko, I've always been shocked about how he is capable of having three clan abilities. At this point on, i wouldn't be surprised if one day, he'd recieve another clans Aura, just for the sake of doing what he is ordered to do, even if having the need to gather information, as he had done before.
By the way, seems like there will be a new story coming in, that has to do with the red clans Past..way, FARTHER in past. Can't wait to take a look at it! Time for me to also start reading the rest of these novels~
I've had these thoughts I wanted to spew out, for a very long time. For months, Maybe.... finally, I've got it off my chest and placed an opinion. XD
