Cool, so tell me what you know about Crows, and why specifically them? I know they cool as hell.
Also, would you prefer a RP based training, or analysis?

Analysis please
So Crows are an animal summoning that canonically was only shown to be used by Itachi Uchiha and is considered one of his themes as he employs Crow Clones, he uses Crows in pretty much most of his genjutsu, when he subs his body explodes into multiple crows, and even when he used Izanami he used crows there too. Canon wise we didn't really see any huge crow summons, they were mostly in murders of crows but they were unique in that they did not speak and did Itachi's bidding without question. Finally with the recent updates to summons Crows enjoy a buff of: "Crows are resistant to Genjutsu, only effected by Genjutsus at least one rank below their rank and up."
Obviously I am going to pick them as I have an Itachi bio, and so wish to fulfill his canon abilities. Plus as I said earlier, it's Itachi's theme, in western culture Crows are related to Death, Disease, and Famine to be warded off. In eastern culture, specifically Japanese culture, Crows are seen as messengers of the gods and are welcomed by the people.

That's pretty cool, I'm quite a big fan of Itachi. Anyway, let's get to it. I'll briefly explain, you can just analyze the techniques, maybe point out something about the technique, or what not.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Satsujin Konmei no Karasu) - Summoning Technique: Murder of Crows Confusion
A simple technique, where you will summon forth a large mass of crows, that swarm the opponent. This creates confusion, and can conceal movement. When no longer needed, they disappear.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Karasu no satsujin) - Summoning Technique: A Murder of Crows
Similar, but this flock can actually attack instead of just being there to distract the opponent. Pretty simple stuff.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Satsujin Konmei no Karasu) - Summoning Technique: Murder of Crows Confusion
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: 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.

Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short

Obviously this is a basic multi summoning that Itachi used quite a bit in the series. I'd assume the user will perform the summoning jutsu, bringing the crows to the user. Then they can be used to mask the user or to strike against enemies, more as a distraction rather than being able to do any real damage.
Two questions I have with the first jutsu is are the crows summoned around the user and then they can fly over to the enemy and distract them? Also with the second one can they theoretically leave short range?

Yes, and theoretically, yes.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Kuroi Karasu) - Summoning Technique: Black Crow
Okay, so for this technique, you will summon a large black crow, has a wingspan of about 5 meters, can be used to attack the opponent with basic attacks. Nothing fancy, really. Crows really allow for some custom ones, though do read Drizzy's techniques, and also Ryujin/Dante's, they made quite a few Crows back in the day, maybe get them to teach/trade with you.
(Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu) - Crow Clone Technique
The one Ninjutsu that comes with the contract. You will project your chakra to a bunch of crows, to create a clone. Requires less chakra than a normal shadow clone, but it can use techniques up to A rank (let me get confirmation if its all techniques), and if cut, turns into crows. You can even speak through it. Nifty technique.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Kuroi Karasu) - Summoning Technique: Black Crow
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: 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

(Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu) - Crow Clone Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 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.

Obviously not much to say here, they are pretty standard techniques. Crow Clone is pretty cool, although it's pretty much just to be thematic to Itachi, like how Hashi has Wood Clones. No questions really.
