A Ninja versus an Italian Assassin, who will emerge victorious?

[smooth_operator]

Well, based on what I can think of, a ninja is basically an assassin and a saboteur in one. So what happens if we pit an elite ninja(who undoubtedly has a lot of experience in stealth operations and assassination missions) against an Italian Assassin(Assassin's Creed context), say Ezio Auditore da Firenze(who also has quite a record of disposing of clergymen,emperor wannabes,etc), who has the edge?
