In Japanese mythology, this flying creature is a raven or a Jungle Crow called Yatagarasu (八咫烏?, "eight-span crow") [12] and the appearance of the great bird is construed as evidence of the will of Heaven or divine intervention in human affairs.[13]

Although Yatagarasu is mentioned in a number of places in the Shintō canon, the depictions are primarily seen on Edo wood art, dating back to the early 1800s wood-art era. Although not as celebrated current day, the crow is a mark of rebirth and rejuvenation; the animal that has historically cleaned up after great battles symbolized the renaissance after such tragedy.

Yatagarasu the Crow-God himself is symbolic specifically of guidance. This great crow was sent from heaven as a guide for Emperor Jimmu on his initial journey from the region which would become Kumano to what would become Yamato. It is generally accepted that Yatagarasu is an incarnation of Taketsunimi no mikoto, but none of the early surviving documentary records are quite so specific.[14]

In more than one instance, Yatagarasu appears as a three legged crow in Kojiki.

Both the Japan Football Association and subsequently its administered teams such as the Japan national football team use the symbol of Yatagarasu in their emblems and badges respectively.[15] The winner of the Emperor's Cup is also given the honor of wearing the Itachi emblem the following season.

or

It first appears in the mythology as a messenger sent by the sun goddess Amaterasu to guide Emperor Jimmu when he gets lost in hostile territory in Kumano on his way to Yamato.

*************

When I was in Kumano, I also asked one of the priests about the bird’s association with Amaterasu, and in reply he suggested it was to do with the black spots that appear in the sun.

In a way it really does express Itachi's true hidden motives.

"The crow is a spirit animal associated with life mysteries and magic. The power of this bird as totem and spirit guide is provide insight and means of supporting intentions. Sign of luck, it is also associated with the archetype of the trickster; be aware of deceiving appearances. If the crow has chosen you as your spirit or totem animal, it supports you in developing the power of sight, transformation, and connection with life’s magic."

Doujutsu users share connotations with birds?

Itachi gets crows and Sasuke gets hawks?

It is peculiar that a weasel summons crows, though.
