Seeing you as you're falling down the waterfall, I know two things: first, you have to do something to catch yourself in mid air, otherwise you'd be dead meat if you hit the water and second, I can't execute my next attack before yours, so I have to be focused if you by any chance do something foul, or in the worst case scenario, if you try to take me with you. The moment I see you stopping in mid air, landing on an earthen pillar, I hear the earth tumbling underneath me. Thanks to my hearing I know that it's an earth technique and thanks to the noise it produces I know that it's massive in size, aimed more for distraction, rather than dealing damage. Because of it's diagonal erupting pattern, it knocks me backwards, of the statue's head, straight into the waterfall. Being that I found myself in the same position once again, falling down the waterfall, I decide that the best thing to do is go with the trusted option. Since I knew that I'd be falling down as soon as the pillar starts erupting, I started performing the blood sacrifice immediately, summoning my crane in the very first few meters of my fall. This time a different crane appears, a big, read headed crane, known as Sarus. It's considered to be one of the fastest cranes and a very powerful crane too, being for its unique abilities. As soon as Sarus appears it performs a very powerful screech that places you into an illusion where you see a massive amount of cranes appear all around you, poking you with their beaks, aiming for your eyes.
α Kure-n Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Sarus, Inakamono | Crane Summoning Technique: Sarus, the Redneck
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: Sarus is considered one of the fastest flying birds. It's not massive in size which grants its flying speed. With a wingspan of 6m, it can easily carry the user on its back. It is conspicuous and iconic and it's easily distinguished amongst the other cranes because of its red colored head that spreads to its neck, therefore the name, Redneck. The red head and neck aren't actually feathered, but rather bare flesh. Sarus is known for its loud trumpeting calls. These calls are, as in other cranes, produced by the elongated trachea that form coils within the sternal region. His calls are quite loud and can be quite unsettling to hear. His actions can be easily merged with the users own as Sarus, same as the other cranes, has the ability to easily communicate with its owner through a special mindlink or through speech. The main ability of Sarus, however, is its mastery over the wind element. Though it's considered a master it doesn't have the ability to perform all of the wind jutsus that the user knows, but rather a special ability, known only to Sarus. It can create a very thick atmosphere around a specific point, just inches thick but enough to disperse any lighting jutsu that tries to pass through it. It can form the thickening of the air in various of shapes, be it a sphere around the user or a shield-like formation in front of him (or to his sides, etc.). The thickening effects the short area around the thickening point. The process works by simply compressing the desired field of air and infusing it with its own chakra, in a way that cancels out lightning. This ability counts as 1 jutsu that the user is allowed to perform per turn.
Note: Wind ability counts as an S rank wind technique from one of the users 3 techniques per turn
Note: Must have signed the Crane Summoning contract
Note: Can only be summoned once and stays on the field only 4 turns
α Kure-n Geijutsu: Toranpetto ni yoru aizu | Crane Arts: Trumpet Call
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/a
Description: A crane performs its loud trumpet call which triggers a very powerful illusion where the opponent sees the crane perform the trumpet call as a call for aid in the battle. Suddenly a huge number of cranes, from the same species, attack the opponent from all sides, which start poking his body with their beaks, ultimately poking his eyes out. If the opponent doesn't free himself before his eyes get poked out, which happens after 3-4 seconds, the genjutsu will actually trick his mind into going blind, which will stay for one turn, until his brain realizes that his eyes are sending information and until the brain starts to process it again.
Note: Must have signed the Crane Summoning Contract
Note: Can only be performed by a Crane, after being summoned to the battle
Note: Usable only once per battle
