Ren vs Bane

As Ren waits from his space underground for Bane to appear. He starts thinking of a plan in which he can beat Bane in the quickest and easiest way possible, as the worst possible situation would be if Bane somehow manages to escape from him and he has to hunt him down again before he could get another opportunity to kill him.

In the area above ground for as far as the eyes can see it is just mountains mixed with trees, creating a perfect place for someone to easily run and hide from someone chasing after them.

Beneath the forest floor, Ren is currently busy thinking up his plan of attack which will develop into a full strategy or so he hopes but things never go perfectly as planned, but having as little information as he has on his target there is only so many plans he could make while there are a lot more ways for it to go wrong.

"It seems this is the only way to get this done quickly even if it will create quite the ruckus, hopefully, I'll be long gone before anyone arrives here to check the situation," Ren says to himself while quickly performing some hand seals.

"Shadow clone Jutsu."

Poof!

A cloud of white smoke appears, and four identical Rens appear out of it.

"Alright look alive guys, all I need you to do is keep an eye on the situation above and only interfere to tack out his four puppets."

"Alright boss." All the clones respond before leaving Ren and moving to different locations.

Seeing his clones leave Ren continues to monitor the surface waiting for his chakra to refill, as it shouldn't take too long.

It didn't take long after for Ren to notice some movement heading towards the location he had received, not sure as to why Bane would pass at this particular place, he sees his target heading straight for him on the surface jumping from tree to tree at an amazing speed with an object wrapped up in rags behind him.

'That should be his puppets but that's only big enough for one, he probably has the rest in scrolls.'

Waiting for his perfect chance to strike Ren waits until Bane finally touches the ground and springs forward, moving through the ground Ren grabs hold of Bane's leg 'What's this texture' and pulls him into the ground leaving only his head free.

Wasting no time he exits the earth and speeds through hand seals,

"Fire release: Fireball Jutsu," Ren says

Before letting out a ball of fire towards Bane and completely engulfing him within it, As he was left no chance to counterattack from beginning to end.

As Ren looked at the area now covered in smoke he knew this was far from over as he thinks back to the feeling he had when touched Bane's leg

' That should have been a puppet, that texture is felt when I touched his leg was not flesh but metal, but it makes sense for a puppet master to always have a puppet out and ready.'

Ren was pulled from his thoughts as the smoke parted a shower of needles came bearing down on him.

jumping and flipping backward as the needles dug into the ground.

looking at the needles Ren could see they were dripping a purple liquid.

"Poison."

"Kukuku sounds like you lived, well no matter killing you now or in a minute makes little difference." A lively voice says from within the leftover smoke.

"After all killing an ant on the first time you try to smash with your finger or the second time uses minimal amounts of effort just the same," Bane says again as the smoke finally clears revealing him standing surrounded by four puppets.

The puppets were nothing too special as three of the four looked the same a brown metal making up their bodies, four arms each with knives sticking out of each elbow with red hair on their heads, while the last one looked exactly like Bane.

' shit for the looks of it he's going fight me using all his puppets, I was hoping that he would think too highly of himself and only use two the most.'

wasting no time Ren takes a fighting stance of his explosive taijutsu.

'Explosion release: explosive step'

BOOM!

The ground under Ren's foot was destroyed by an Explosion as ren disappeared and was now in front of the puppet of Banes that looked like him with his palm open.

BOOM!

Bane controlled his puppets and dodged just in time as everything in front of Rens palm in an 8-meter radius was destroyed leaving only a charred and deep pit. but Ren wasn't finished looking at Bane and his puppets in the air now he speeds through hand seals.

"Wind Release: multiple air bullets."

Ren shot out five air bullets each aiming to launch Bane and his puppets in different directions dividing them up.
