Oh, did not know the chakra strings ignore area effects. Well I would then position Tashi so that he hits only the puppet then with his AoE as puppet no doubt has no mettle ability likely and puppet is forced to roll fort save as the attack affects objects. It is not going be stunned or deaf but it surely hits it either way (than try hit it's defense 28 with my melee attacks) and is loud and noisy. How much defense puppet would have while flanked? I thought my spare clone could leap in to provide flanking bonus if flanking would reduce defense significantly.<br/><br/>Main purpose of the technique is to draw attention of any shinobi patrol which may not hear normal sword fight or other techniques.
