Its defense, unmodified by anything special, is 24. Flanking grants a +2 bonus to attack. The technique would effect the puppet normally as if it was any other character. Although the puppet is currently flanked by Jun and Xexen who would be in the radius of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu - Ryu Mei Sen.<br/><br/>I'm not sure what you mean by warning them... if Jun had any time to get out of the way, then so would your opponent. ;)<br/><br/>Also, you'd be fairly lucky to catch a regular shinobi patrol right on the border. Konoha would likely be recalling ninja in preparation for a war, reorganizing three man teams into more militant platoons. Tani would have quite a few outside the village, since they are very much busy damming the rivers and preparing a scorched earth/guerrilla campaign within the outlying villages.
