[SC] Crows with Loki
- Thread starter Mudo
- Start date
The term Crow is what is used to describe birds that fall under the Corvus genus. They typically have black feathers, black eyes/beak and are known as the most intelligent of all birds, allowing them to adapt to situations. In the Narutoverse, not much is known of the summoning contract besides the fact that Itachi was seen using them to supplement his genjutsu and ninjutsu.
Pausing for a brief moment, I bite down on my thumb in order to draw more blood and perform the required handseals. I then crouch down and slam my hand onto the ground below, causing a poof of smoke to rise up before me. The result produces a crow moderately small in stature; it briskly flies up and perches itself on my shoulder.
Job well done. It seems you're ready to learn the techniques:
(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.
Do the same process, except this time try to summon a large group fo them. This will require much more chakra and focus from your part. Try to imagine these birds all flocking about around you for an easier attempt.

After nodding, I bite down on my thumb once more in order to draw blood and perform the required handseals while visualizing the technique, causing a large murder of crows to poof into existence and circle around me rapidly; the crows provide an excellent way to conceal my physical appearance.
Would you say that using this technique requires the same amount of handseals as a regular summoning, or does this follow the rule that says if the technique doesn't explicitly say it needs handseals, then no handseals are needed?

These can summoned by clapping your hands, I believe Itachi performed it like that. But otherwise, shorter handseals or even your contract tattoo can be used to use this technique.
(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.
Perform, a small description of how you would use this in battle, and any advantages or disadvantages you can spot on this technique. This is pretty much the same technique as the previous one, although it seems to give users more liberty as to what the crows do and when. Not restricted to simply attacking or blocking their view.
Following the same principle as before, I summon a flock of average-sized crows and command them to swarm and attack a nearby tree.
I'd likely use this to restrict the target's movement by having the crows bite down on their clothes and pull at them, peck at vulnerable areas, etc. Upside is the amount of freedom it provides in what you can have them do as you mentioned, but does the short range clause mean that they can't move past your short range vicinity after being summoned, or that they can only be summoned within your short range and once summoned, are able to move about freely in the battlefield regardless of distance? The former wouldn't make much sense if they can only fly about within short range but better to ask and be sure.
Yeah the range defines how far you can summon them, in other words Short range from you. But they can fly as far as they want.
Now this technique, you already performed at the start with a smaller Crow. No need to summon it again, just posting it so you know you can use it. In this case however, the Crow is much larger, akin to Sasuke's Hawk in his fight against Danzo even.
(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
So let's move onto the next one:
(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.
We are all familiar with the Bunshin technique. Well this is a variation of it, by emitting your chakra into dozens of crows that you summon using this technique, they come together and form a copy of yourself. The good thing about this Bunshin is that it requires less chakra, something vital in NW activities, while being able to perform up to A rank techniques. Don't lose focus or get your chakra cut off as the clone will break apart into a swarm of wild crows and no more.

Didn't realize there was a crow clone technique. Pretty neat. What does it imply at the end when it says that even when the clone disperses into crows the user can still speak through it, and when it says that the clone disperses if the summoner's chakra is severed, does that mean when the clone takes damage like a normal clone it disperses?
*Performs the technique* I project my chakra into a flock of crows that combine to create a clone of myself.

Yes, when the clone takes considerable damage it will also disperse like a regular clone would. However, I believe it only disperses back into regular Crows. Why? Because it would make sense, that even as a flock of Crows you can still speak through them, just like a regular clone can speak, the birds themselves, without forming a clone, are also able to speak for you.
Atleast that is how it should be. Because if and when the clone is attacked and dispersed, it wouldn't make sense to speak through the crows, if they have been sent back to their realm.
I hope that answers your question to an acceptable need. Any other questions ask them now
