In a large empty field with a small lake in the middle sat a lone figure wearing a large purple cloak. The figure had a hood on the cloak the covered his head and shielded his face. Despite this however it was obvious who it was. Chaos, was waiting... Waiting for Masamune.

As if on cue, Syaoran Masamune appeared, coming around the corner on the only road in to this site. He had a letter of challenge clutched in his right hand, a plain-looking scroll in the left. He paused at the road's end and surveyed his surroundings, a quick look to left and right that took in details with a practiced speed and efficiency.
I don't much care for that lake. he thought to himself, ANBU mind already on the task upcoming.
Seemingly spotting Chaos for the first time, he turned his head in that direction. His voice didn't carry very far across the lake, so he had to shout,
"Hey Chaos! Lemme guess, we're not out here to have tea, are we?" he indicated the challenge letter in his hand. "Shame, that. Nice place." He said, letting the letter drop, to be carried tumbling away across the ground on a light breeze.

Chaos stood up and put his hood down revealing that he was wearing his ANBU mask with the Gaioh symbol completely scratched off. He chuckled a bit at Masamune's comment about tea. "Sorry but there is no tea. In fact there will be no games." Chaos said as he removed his mask revealing that he wasn't using his fake skin jutsu. All he could see was his eyes and the vines that made up his body. After a moment Chaos placed the mask back on his face and then drew a scroll from inside his cloak. "Shall we begin our little game?"

As soon as Chaos reached into his cloak, Masamune had gone to work. He ran his thumb across his vest, slitting it open on a razor blade he'd left sticking slightly out of one pocket. His other hand unfurled the scroll as he did.
He made a rapid string of the one-handed seals he was known for using, and smeared his blood on the scroll before slamming his palm to the ground. The whole process took mere seconds.
"Kuchiyose no jutsu! Come to me, Rage! Kumahachi!"
Twin eruptions of white smoke briefly obscured Masamune's body, and when it cleared, he was sitting astride a coyote the size of a rhinoceros, a snarling beast ready to kill. A gleaming sword rested in his grip, exuding a malevolent aura, like a thousand voices silently crying out for revenge.
"This one again?" Kumahachi growled. "You'd think after last time you'd know better."
Masamune smirked. "Yeah, I guess I just never learn" he replied wryly, and donning his own mask, spurred his mount on to battle.
Kumahachi cut across the ground at a rapid pace, aiming to tear Chaos apart with fangs the size of kunai. Masamune got ready to jump, already making the handseals for his next jutsu.

Chaos chuckled at the coyote that Masamune summoned as Chaos himself unsealed his scroll. From the scroll three yari appeared, vines from Chaos's back grabbing the yari by the shaft. The vines pointed the three yari at Masamune and his pet. "Let us see if you can win this time."
"Such predictable tactics..." Chaos said as he didn't bother to even try to dodge the attack by the coyote. Chaos simply focused his chakara in his vines, hardening them beyond steel.
Taking the moment however Chaos snapped his fingers and from the earth a lone demon vine shot up at Masamune. The emerged from directly before him and was aimed straight at his heart, Chaos didn't expect such a simple attack to work but was rather showing Masamune that he wasn't playing games this time around.

Masamune leapt off Kumahachi's back, slicing the vine in half with Rage, then using his Ichijin bloodline to alter trajectory in midair, darting about to Chaos's left and releasing his jutsu as he landed. He exhaled forcefully at Chaos, and a great plume of suffocating smoke filled the space between them in a heartbeat, rapidly enveloping the battlefield and its participants and continuing to spread. A human opponent would succumb to smoke inhalation, but Masamune knew it would take more than that to get the best of Chaos.
As for Kumahachi, the great beast swerved out of the way when he saw Masamune aiming to Breathe, a wise move when you were used to seeing him breathe fire. As a result, he never got in that bite, and wound up retreating from the expanding grey haze.

When Chaos saw Masamune breath in he had raised his arm up to sheild himself but only chuckled when smoke shot from Masamune's lips. Chaos was expecting fire, not smoke.
"How amusing. Trying to use my own tactics against me." Chaos said as he unsealed another scroll, a large gantlet appearing on his left hand. The gantlet had ten slots for spheres to be attached to them. Chaos, pulling the spheres out a bag on his belt, began to place them in the gantlet one at a time. "And here was expecting to be set ablaze..."

While Chaos was distracted with his new toy, shapes began to form out of the smoke. Eyes blinked open all through the smoke, floating in the haze attached to no body that could be seen. Hands likewise started appearing out of nowhere, weapons taking shape in their grasp. It was Masamune's smoke clone jutsu. Solid clones that could be torn apart, created in partial, and reform when damaged, and all they needed was a nearby source of smoke.
The hands streaked forward to stab Chaos with their weapons, positioning themselves to try and slide blades between the vines and get at the soft organs underneath. And all the while, Masamune's gaze stayed fixed on Chaos from a hundred points.

"How foolish..." Chaos said as he placed the last sphere in the gantlet, the vines from his back deflecting the incoming attacks and lashing out into the darkness of the smoke around Chaos. Behold..." The spheres in the gauntlet were of two colors, half were yellow and the other half white. One of the sphere suddenly turned gray and with that the thrusted his hand upward. On the palm of the gauntlet was an odd seal and with the thrust of the gauntlet a gust of wind shot up and then curve down blowing around Chaos like a shield made of razor wind. The wind aside from protecting Chaos also blew the smoke away from his. "I hope you don't mind me using some of my more successful toys."

The smoke swirled away From Chaos in all directions, dispelling the clones in the affected area. Masamune suddenly appeared as the smoke cleared, and he lashed Rage at Chaos, firing off an erratic burst of black energy from the blade.
Maamune rushed in behind the black ribbons to strike at Chaos directly when and if he blocked.

"Nice try." Chaos said as one of the yari shot forward into the dark ribbon. The blade seemed to cut through dissipating it. The other two yari however shot out the sides as then at Masamune from both sides. Chaos was taking full advantage of the vines and yari.

Masamune leapt over the spears and twisted in the air, using his bloodline to good effect. With a mighty shout, he manipulated his body's rotation to bring Rage down over Chaos's head with the full force of his spin behind it. Never try to out-weapon a weapons-type ANBU, Chaos. he thought smugly.

"Amusing tactic." Chaos said as he watched Masamune begin his descent upon Chaos. "Yet foolish..." Chaos knew he couldn't dodge it. He was way to slow and even he would be vulnerably afterward, so instead Chaos would fight back the best way he could. Taking what time he could he shifted his body so that the blade would pierce into his shoulder, ardening his vines wouldn't work thanks to Rage's properties, then as Masamune neared Chaos released a wave of chakara. From his body three foot long thorns emerged from his body, their tips of the thorns oozing with poison. Masamune might do some good damage with his attack but it wouldn't be enough to stop Chaos.

Rage dug hard into Chaos' shoulder, and blasted another wave of black ribbons into his body. But Masamune's grip on Rage stopped him getting away from the thorns and poisonous chakra. The thorns cut shallow furrows into his skin and dosed him with poison. He tugged Rage free of Chaos's body and leapt away, falling heavily to the ground as the poison took hold, burning his nervous system with a cold fire.
He quickly started his next string of handseals, hoping Chaos wouldn't recover quickly enough to stop him.

"Perish..." Chaos's entire left side of his body had been torn to shreds. His left arm was gone and a good chunk of his left body was torn to shreds. The vines moved rapidly trying to minimized damage. Green blood dripped on the ground, Chaos's gauntlet broken in half from the attacks. Yet Chaos's right arm was still fully functional. His right arm suddenly separated into five vines that shot forward and separated into five more vines, those vines separating into five more vines for a total of 125 vines flying towards Masamune.
