stood across her student awaiting for his response. She wore her usual attire; a loose, belted, leather military styled raincoat which had a red-ish detail every here and there. A dark satchel hanging from her right shoulder. Oversized looking martens, as they totally existed in ninja world. I can tell you the location of the shop if you need. One of my favs. Anyhow; her white hair falling over her visage."You want to learn crows? Right?"
The answer was obvious nonetheless, however the sentence seemed like the best way to get her students attention and get this training rolling.
"Follow me. Tell me all that you know about them. This portion is pivotal, so I know how to take it from here."
She smirked as she continued on with the scroll reaching just outside a razor threaded entrance to a cave which was unknown to usual man. It was questionable to when was the last time some visited this place. Maybe it was when she signed the contract maybe it was somewhat thereon. Such was not that important. The place overall looked like a gutter. However as you take the stairway down, a garishing light echos throughout the chamber.

*Our current location.
Yosamu really didn't know who to expect as his sensei but when he caught sight of the grim looking woman in the stocky coat he might have jumped back a little. It was a shock indeed, never before had he seen anyone looking like that.
Her voice was in stark contrast to her appearance though, almost melodious even.
"Uhm, yes, I am here to learn Crows. But first let me introduce mysel--oh, follow you? Okay." He caught up with her brisk strides and stared at the scroll in her hands. "Well Crows are birds, very closely related to the smaller Ravens and even smaller Blackbirds. They are very smart animals too, one of the few creatures able to recognize faces and habits of people. They also have very specialized vocal cords that allow them to call very loudly over vast distances...."
He was still thinking of information to add on when suddenly they were at the entrance of a crude entrance lined with jagged rocks that looked more like daggers than anything else. An eerie gasp left the cave entrance and blew over them. It sounded almost like the whimpering of a dying man. Yosamu was suddenly having doubts.
"You know, I did something like this for my Bat contract signing once. Let me guess, I'll have to go into the center of that light and force these Crows to accept me?"

"SHHHHH! And move on."
She spoke, looking at him with slight annoyance.
"What you said is certainly correct however I would like to add something else."
A high pitched noise roared.
"Crows are malicious animals or at least give such a complexion. In addition many stories as well as mythologies with mainly vicious content are connected to crows. Perhaps the most intelligent of birds. Their size can vary, from being rather small, 34 centimeters or so, to reaching the height of 64. In comparison to other birds, they are seen as larger. With a distinctive black coloured plumage which is usually embellished with a violet gloss, although it can vary to a greenish or blueish colour. They have characteristic dark eyes and beak, and are seen as rather stern. Additionally, quite characteristic to these animals is their deep repertoire of melodies. Using their ability to change their vocals they can easily blend in with the surrounding birds so as to get some food. When it comes to their eating habits, they are not really that much of a picky eaters."
Her speaking was followed with her continuing the scroll down the stairs and inside the cave. It looked even pernicious there. As she came to the center of the cave, she performed few hand seals and slammed her hands onto the ground. Touching the ground a sealing formula spread upon it as well as a sort of a fume. With the fume dispersing a colossal scroll could be noticed.
"Do you have any other questions?"
She spoke as she opened the scroll. Name next to name was engraved within the scroll.
"If not I'd like you to sign here with your blood."
OOC: Not much has been shown about this summoning animal. It is mainly connected to Itachi's ability to connect the crows and genjutsu and then use it to distract and confuse his enemies. Additionally, the only so known crow is the one which Itachi entrusted Shisui's eye. Custom-wise, they can be any size as within the canon list there is a crow which reaches the height of two people and 5 meters wingspan. Honestly speaking, I would love to combine them with sound release, just due to their ability to produce vast variation of differing sounds.

Yosamu listened intently as they ducked and weaved through the tunnels, nodding and making that "o" face when he heard of their malicious tendencies.
"You really like these Crows, don't you?"
Soon they were in the center where the only source of light seemed to shine down from a cracked in the ceiling she easily flowed through a few hand seals and placed her palms on the ground. Upon seeing the scroll Yosamu was already ahead of her.
He bit his thumb and smeared it at the designated area on the scroll.
"No questions. There we go."

"The mix of mystery and their dominance fascinate me."
Inscrutably she looked into the hollow from which subsequently to her words a crow, black as a skillet, flew over pirouetting around them before descending into the unknown.
"Hehe. Now.. I would like you to try and summon a crow."

The majestic thing loomed over them for just a moment, during which Yosamu stared on in awe. The eerie feeling of staring at its ominous shape, black on black among the dark walls of the cave, before it descended into a hole sent pleasant shivers up his spine.
Remembering the summoning rites from memory Yosamu connected his chakra to his newly formed Crow contract and formed a few hand seals before placing his palm on the barely visible ground. Being a generic technique, an average sized crow appeared from the darkness and landed on his shoulder. Looking at both him and his sensei with a blank but wary stare the bird was surprisingly quiet.
"I'm guessing there is more of this to come?" he asked wincing at the crow's talons that dug into his skin.

A small crow appears between us
"Ah, this is good enough; at least now I am aware of your capability to summon them. "
She watched over her student and summoned three scrolls in front of them. Took but a single scroll and tossed it in direction of her student.
"Read this over, read over the amount of chakra you need to apply for something like this and try it out. If you do it well, there should be a swarm of crows."
...
"Also, tell me how you'd use something like this"
Scroll #1
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Satsujin Konmei no Karasu) - Summoning Technique: Murder of Crows Confusion
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Summoning a massive swarm of crows, they will fly around the target, causing confusion with their dark forms and quick movement. With the target distracted by the crows, the ninja can strike more easily. Also the mass of crows can obscure any retreating ninja. When no longer needed, the murder of crows will simply puff away in smoke.

Grabbing the scroll with a lazy hand Yosamu unwrapped it with the other. After reading its contents carefully he carefully placed it on the damp cave ground clapped his hands. Suddenly a myriad of crows, screaming and clawing at the air appeared around him. Not being one to scare easily, Yosamu simply raised a hand and allowed his dominance to speak for itself.
"Quiet."
The crows immediately ceased their tantrum and came to rest around him, one landing on his raised hand to turn a curious eye at the sensei.
"Now this I'd use in close quarters for both attack and aid. I can imagine using it to confuse the enemy while I attack from the shadows and I can also see myself using this to disperse my presence and leave a location. You know, theatrics. Other than that this is foremost a supplementary technique which relies heavily on distraction and overwhelming of the opponent's senses."

"You have a keen mind and a impressive ability of observation." She softly spoke as she took yet another scroll and hovered it towards her student.
...
"You will notice that these techniques are pretty basic and quite similar and there are very few of them that I can teach you. The next one have a single difference than the last one, and that it can be used as an offensive technique."
She stopped for a moment before continuing.
"Again read over the scroll and try to perform the summoning ritual. Tell me if there is anything else that you think might be worth of adding.."
Scroll#2
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Karasu no satsujin) - Summoning Technique: A Murder of Crows
Rank: C
Type: Offensive, Supplementary, Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will summon a flock of small normal sized crows which can be used in a variety of ways. The user can use them to simply distract and slow down a target or use them to simply attack them with their beaks.
After reverse summoning the previous crows Yosamu takes the second scroll and unwraps it. A few minutes of squinting his eyes and rubbing his chin passed before he finally laid the scroll down beside the first one. He then clapped his hands just like he did the last time and summoned a very similar flock of crows around him. Only, this flock was much more viscous in their screaming and clawing.
"Well...these guys are a lot more attack minded I'll tell you that. Otherwise, both techniques are virtually the same. Only, one is for tactical stuff and the other is for attacking. That doesn't mean you can't re-purpose them though."
After talking he quickly reverse summoned the critters, they were simply to rowdy to be kept around any longer.

I would just glance at you before taking yet another scroll which was in front of me. Brushing it off for a moment, I'd glimpse to the right and hurl the scroll in your direction.
"You might like this next one"
....
"GO!"
Scroll #3
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Kuroi Karasu) - Summoning Technique: Black Crow
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user will summon a large black crow that stands about as tall as two people with a wingspan of about 5 meters which can be used for various tasks in combat such as generally attacking the opponent or for maneuvering around on the battlefield. The crow itself is only capable of standard physical attacks using its claws, beak and wings.
Note: can only be summoned once

Yosamu takes the scroll and frowns a little, this was going to take a lot more effort than the rest. He quickly made up his mind then and performed the summoning ritual.
In an instant the space between them was suddenly filled with an enormous shape. The giant crow although completely black, was still eerily visible in the dim light due to its slightly iridescent feathers. The creature towered above them and stared down with a baleful presence. The weight of it's influence could be felt everywhere.
"Uhm..wow, he's big." Yosamu said in a whisper.

"That would be all when it comes to summoning animals, however there is another technique which is tied to this contract and that I am going to teach you."
Taking a brief pause she continues;
"Through this technique, the user will form a replica of themselves through crows. This is also the reason why you will need less chakra to form this clone. Also, keep in mind that these clones will be able to use techniques up to A rank."
Scroll #4
(Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu) - Crow Clone Technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: A technique that produces a clone by projecting one's own chakra towards dozens of crows. These are summoned by the technique itself. Because it uses crows as a medium, it requires less chakra than the normal Shadow Clone Technique, while still being able to perform techniques (up to A-Rank). The dozens of crows come together to form the body of a clone. When the chakra projected by the user is severed, the crows disperse, though the user is still able to continue to speak through it.
Note: Can only be used by signers of the Crow contract and can only make 2 clones with each use.
