Description: The user summons the three Demonic Doki, their eyes and ears are covered, and their mouths are sewn shut, a reference to the three wise monkeys. By playing specific melodies on the Demonic Flute, the user can control them, each melody causing them to perform different actions. The tune the user plays determines their overall behavior, as well as how each individual Doki moves, attacks, and works with each other. In order to prevent opponents from analyzing which tune produces which action, the user embeds the tunes within a complicated melody. While the Doki are illusions, each of their attacks deal C-Rank psychological damage as the target believes they are real summons while under the Genjutsu. This Technique takes 1 post to take full effect, while the Doki appear once the technique is activated they cannot begin attacking until the next post.
Weaknesses: Although the music itself can't be deciphered, careful study can allow opponents to read the user's finger configurations, giving them a way to predict what the Doki will do, this requires A-Rank or higher Intelligence.
- Demonic Flute:
- Name: Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Chains
Rank: B
Activation Cost: 10
Upkeep Cost: 5
Range: 0 - 30 m.
Speed: A
Element: N/A
Skill: Genjutsu
Classification: Open
Requirements: Musical Instrument
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: This Genjutsu is triggered by the opponent hearing the sound of the flute. Once triggered, the opponent will be assailed by the vivid sensation that their limbs have been fastened with sturdy ropes, thus becoming unable to move about freely. Even with physical intervention from an outside force, the body is robbed of all mobility, and consciousness itself progressively fades away. At the same time, they are fed morbid hallucinations, which makes it also possible to run them down mentally. Given that the means of transmission is sound-based, it has a large range of effectiveness, on top of which it can be applied even without knowledge of the enemy's position, which makes for an exceedingly convenient technique. The Genjutsu is ineffective if the opponent can't hear the technique.
This technique robs the target(s) of their mobility on the first post of hearing the flute. The illusion goes in full effect on the second post, causing B-rank psychological damage. Every post after the second deals C-rank psychological damage to the victim(s) for as long as the technique is sustained.
Weaknesses: Aside from the traditional means of release, the user will be automatically released from the Genjutsu once the user ceases playing the flute. Due to the intense concentration involved in this illusion the user cannot move from their location when playing their instrument.
