Three favourite B-rank sound techniques and why, please.
(Ototon: Hibiki Rendan no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Echo Assault Skill
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user gathers his sound chakra into his throat as he inhales afterwards exhaling as he screams, yells or roars. The resulting effect is a massive forward shockwave of low frequency, high amplitude sound that levels anything in its path. Despite weakening as it travels, its faster than most wind or lightning techniques and can still be defended from. If used within a water source it receives +20 damage.
Well, this technique can bounce off B-Ranked technique's (solid) and below, but it must contain realistic because I doubt that this technique could be capable of bouncing off the dropping lid technique because of it's size. Other than that, this technique for example could protect you from a D/C-Ranked technique and still continue towards your opponent, much weaker but still effective. The sound will instantly also damage your opponents ear, or... not damage it but it'll irritate it so you'll get the chance to perform a sneaky attack from beneath or behind the opponent, finishing them off quite quickly.
( Ototon Genjutsu: Funka to Botsuraku ) - Sound Release Illusionary Art: Eruption and Downfall
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user charges Ototon chakra into his hands and snaps his fingers, triggering a genjutsu through the emission of high frequency sound waves. As he snaps, the sound is amplified, sounding as if it is directly by the enemy's ear. To them, it sounds as if something has just snapped in half. The user then manipulates the illusion to make it appear as if either a large branch has fallen from a tree or the ground under them has broken clean in half, causing the target to believe they are falling through the earth or have been struck with a large object, pushing them to the earth. The user has control over the illusion, being able to make it seem as if entire trees have been snapped in half, falling on the target or as if an earth structure has collapsed either above or beneath the opponent, etc. The illusion can be edited to fit the situation and even the sound can be slightly altered deepening on the object that is "snapped". Is more effective depending upon the terrain this is used in ( extremely effective in a forest, not effective in a desert ).
Well, sound and genjutsu in one. I love it. It's simple, you snap your fingers and mess with their sight, including their hearing of course. It's handy in many ways. It'll make your opponent think that something snapped by the snap performed by my fingers; either a tree or the ground from underneath your opponent. It would be nice to mess with the opponent by performing certain hand seals that are needed for earth technique's meaning that it did not just simply happen like that, but got performed by the handseals so it won't be suspicious.
(Ototon: Himei Zetsubou no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Scream of Despair Skill
Rank: B
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: Similar to the (Ototon: Hibiki Rendan no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Echo Assault Skill, the user concentrates chakra into their vocal cords, amplifying his/her voice and lets out a scream, roar or a yell. The effect is a large emission of low frequency, high amplitude sound waves but instead of a forward attack, its manipulated into an omnidirectional sound blast that expands outwards all around the user, pushing attacks and enemies backwards with might.
Same as the first one, but instead short ranged and all around you. Handy if having sensing abilities knowing exactly where a certain technique erupts from so you can get rid of it quite easily. (Solid, B-Ranked and below of course.)
