Ninja Tactics - False Sounds

GIONJUTSU - FALSE SOUNDS There are instances when the Ninja may accidentally make a noise. When this occurs, the Ninja must not panic. Instead, he should learn to cover his mistake. This is accomplished through the use of a very ingenious art. “Gionjutsu,” the art of employing “False sounds” is extremely effective. In the application of this method, the Ninja creates noises that might deter attention from his presence.

Therefore, if an enemy sentry was patrolling the land surrounding their lords castle and he heard a strange noise, he would most certainly investigate. This is where the Ninja can employ false sounds because often times, it is a simple sound that will calm the sentry's suspicion. The Ninja could mimic the sound of a cricket to deter attention from his specific location.

This is because crickets stop chirping when they are approached, and if the sentry hears this sound he may not investigate that particular area because he thinks if there was someone there, the cricket would cease his song. Or perhaps the Ninja would imitate the sound of a cat, making the sentry believe a feline was responsible for whatever noise occurred, and since the sentry does not fear cats, he may feel somewhat foolish for searching.

If though this tactic is creative, it is very possible that the enemy will not fall for the ruse. In this instance, physical combat may be the only recourse.
