Greed vs Soul

The masked 'old' man stood in the middle of a forest clearing. The air was still, the trees around this clearing unmoving. This clearing was a simple circle, 50 meter radius, so the shit was big. Greed dusted off his skull shoulder pads and then brandished his skull rings on his black pants. The man was shirtless, showing his slender yet muscular body. He kicked the soft earth with his black boots.

Greeds fingers twitched at his sides for a few moments. He then drew two scrolls from his ninja tool belt. He twirled them in his hands. The mysterious man was waiting for someone. A ninja by the name of Soul. Where was his victim of the night?

Soul was jumping from tree to tree as he noticed he was finally in a forest. He made one final twirl as he jumped high up in the air noticing a clearing up ahead. Soul simply smirked as he knew he had an opponent here. A man with some very good skill so to speak. As Soul made his way to a tree about 51 meters away on the last tree before walking into the open area Soul jumped into the air forming handsigns releasing 3 giant fireballs as a great speed. Soul then dived towards the ground forming a tiger handsign as he did then he fell through the ground and begun digging through it.

This was going to be a good fight. To guys who knew how to throw down going at it just because they can. Who would be a clear winner here? No one knew except the man walking away.

Greed saw the masses of fire approach him after the faint sound of rustling in the trees far off. Greed simply moved as fast as he possibly could from the fireballs, performing 3 back flips while holding on to his scrolls. Each flip dodging out of the way of each fireball in a sequential order. The last flip however had more power behind it to launch the man into the air about 10 meters. Applying chakra to the scrolls in his hands while in the air, two poofs of smoke appeared at his sides. A hand seal made that second and with it the puppet technique was used for the two puppets that emerged from the smoke clouds. These puppets known as Roach and Creeper, both being manipulated by the fingers of one hand each. On each of the puppets heads appeared an eye like that of the man's, 2 visual perspectives added for Greed's use. The three landed on the ground, awaiting the appearance of Soul. A grin of true evil on Greed's face.

Soul landed in the forest. Low underground. He began to make some handsigns and a giant lid began to fall form the sky. Soul quicky came from underground as he started running towards his target known as Greed just so both men could be trapped in a 40 meter radar. This would a good old timer fight. Two of the greatest shinobi from two differently villages and of 2 different generations. This would be the class of Soul and Greed. Funny how the two names showed a different way of life..

A lid would fall from the sky above, harmlessly trapping the 4 in a 40 meter radius. Yet this wasn't any of Greed's concern. As the lid fell, Greed spotted Soul charging him via his puppet Creeper. With the movements of his fingers, Creeper would charge toward Soul, intercepting him at a distance 10 meters from Greed himself. As Creeper moved through the air, on the top of his head 20 spikes appeared covering it. The puppet had headed for Soul quickly, head first while spinning, the target being Soul's abdomen. Greed's puppet Roach was on standby, waiting on the movements of Greed's fingers to send it at the one known as Soul. Surprisingly it wasn't completely dark inside the lid, how that was possible, he did not know or really care. His only goal was defeating Soul.

As Soul continued to charge towards his enemy Greed a puppet had came toward the uchiha. This simply put laughter into his heart as he activated his sharingan and made a tiger handsign and his skin turned black. With his black skin Soul would jump into the air coming down directly overtop of the puppet with a glowing blue fist. His skin was hard as steel and his hand had all the power in the world. This would be a true test of the puppet master known as Greed.

As Soul jumped and Creeper missed, Greed saw the action via Creeper. The moment the man jumped would be the moment he opened the mouths on Creeper's two faces with quick finger movements. With the opening of the mouths, 2 streams of fire would extend from the puppet's already spinning body. Greed and Roach would distance themselves with a leap 8 meters back, the chakra threads still intact with Creeper. These flames and the wild spinning of Creeper would create a blazing inferno ranging 15 meters all around the puppet, as the one known as Soul would descended directly toward Creeper's body. This being one of Creepers abilities. What would be the outcome of this?

As Soul continued to fall he noticed a spew of fire being shot out of the puppets mouth. This would be fun as Soul find himself smirking but not in danger at all. He would scream in mid-air "GATE OF OPENING" As he said this his already blue hand with dark skin grew brighter and he landed on the puppet breaking it into many pieces making sure that it wouldn't be able to reform. As Soul landed he smirked and made another handsign causing him to go underground making his way to the outside of the pot.

[Reckless]

The flames engulfed the one known as Soul entered their immense range of 15 meters all around the puppet. A blazing inferno it was and the man jumped right into it. Why did he continue his assault seeing this? Anywho the flames would surely burn off all of his clothing as he entered them, the heat itself would be enough to dry any man's skin, yet Soul continued, why? The flames would have burned through all fabrics on the man. Weapons in a pouch? Lost. Scrolls? Burned. Anything on the man that was flammable would have been incinerated upon his entrance into the flames. Sheathed blades would have been heated to unimaginable degrees, unable to be held. Even the man's hair would have caught ablaze down to the very follicle. Yet somehow Soul had managed to completely destroy the puppet to end the blazing inferno. The man was now baring all to the world, an ungodly sight. Then he disappeared, burrowing underground.

Greed simply sighed, his puppet Creeper was gone. Yet how did Soul live from that? Greed simply waited for the man's bare body to reappear. Oh how he wished he didn't have to fight the man in such a state now, but this was a fight so he had no choice. Roach was still at the ready.

As soul fell through the fire and hit his mark he started to scream in happiness showing his monster like side but this was also showing his hair falling off and as for his close and he sword which was burning hot now sitting on the floor. Underground the weak Soul went outside of the giant lid regaining his energy. He then puffed and he puffed jumping into the air forming a tiger seal shooting 3 giant fireballs at the lid. This would cause intense heat inside the lid.

Greed could feel the air around him getting hot. Something was heating the lid from the outside. Soul? Greed looked around toward the area of his destroyed puppet. He then saw the hole Soul used to burrow away. So that's it? Greed moved his fingers a bit and blades protruded from the hands and head of Roach. Roach would then motion toward the hole and Greed would follow. Roach spinning about with the blades, burrowing through the same trail left by Soul, Greed following. The two would have escaped before things got too hot inside the lid. Roach would exit the tunnel right underneath Soul's feet, head first. Roach's head would crash right into the man's bare crotch area. An unholy sight. Greed would exit the tunnel right after Roach but instead would jump back away from the two, 5 meters. The fight would continue outside that lid.

Soul would come down still falling down to a landing until he saw a puppet flying at him headfirst. This was kind of a shocker. That someone was dumb enough to let a object charge at them while still falling. Soul simply smirked and grabbed the neck of the puppet and crushed it with his blue glowing hand. Soul would then land and start running towards his enemy Greed. This would truely be a good fight. Or a one sided fight.

So Soul was falling from the air and Roach flying toward him, the two meeting at a point about 15 meters off the ground. Soul began to reach for Roach's neck. Greed saw this action from the puppets perspective with his unique ability, even while distancing himself more from them as he moved his fingers again. A quick snapping movement as the puppet would move to the right of Soul's hand, just as fast as Greed moved his fingers. Yet Roach also released an orange vapor from its body at the same time it would dodge. The vapor would shroud Soul's bare body and Roach completely as it spread out to a range of 20 meters around the puppet. Greed already away from the two would simply keep distancing himself from the orange screen of vapor, staying out of its range so not to mess up his own visual perspective. However he could also see within it with his puppet. How would Soul respond to his vision being clouded and obscured? Greed would rest in a nearby tree 5 meters outside the orange cloud, his threads still connected with Roach. Greed was skilled at long range combat, able to make precise movements from a distance. He would also now use the cover of trees, since they were all outside of the lid which took up the space of the clearing.

[ A NEW CHALLENGER! Just b/c I can ]

Dante had entered the forested area, chakra completely surpressed along with his other presences. He was what some would call 'invisible' to a certain extent. He had been watching most of this fight even seeing the release of the orange cloud. A hand seal made in a mere second, a sword drawn as the body of this deadly assassin appeared behind that of the one wielding the puppet via flicker. The swift movement of a blade known by the name of Fang cut through the air, only to crash into its destination. That being the skull of this older male called Greed. The movement would be too quick for the puppet user to comprehend or even go noticed by anyone. His death would be guaranteed. Dante would remain in the tree where Greed once sat, waiting to see the emergence of the one called Soul from the orange cloud. Dante would take over on this fight, his target being Soul now.

[Gonna entertain myself it seems -_-]

The sword pierced the skull of the one called Greed. The sound of metal crushing bone then slicing through tissue and muscle was pure bliss. A successful kill in a mere second or two. Anywho so there was Dante on this tree branch watching the orange vapor finally clear and standing there the male known as Soul. Dante jumped from the tree silently and ran toward the male quickly. Before reaching him, about 5 meters away, Dante stops and points Fang in his direction, at his head. Right as he did it the blade extended fast, cutting through the air, threatening to pierce the male's head in a mere second.
