The Blackest Crow

Consumption - Chakra Reduction I, II, III, IV & V

Chakra mastery allows the user excellent control over the chakra they use, how it's molded, and ultimately, how much is used, so much so that they can lower the chakra consumption of all mastery jutsu. When first learned, the user can cast jutsu of the Mastery class for one chakra consumption tier less than normal. Each time re-acquired, cost continues to drop by one less tier each time.

Kokoro no Setsuzoku (Mind's Connection Mastery)
Rank: A, S
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See Special!
Chakra: ---
Special: Skill operates as far as the eye can see, with any of the crows created by the user, following the same restrictions as the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Grants the user an instantaneous telepathic connection with their crows, twice as effective than what they originally had, giving them the liberty of using all Akegarasu techniques- with the exception of the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'-without the need for hand seals. In order to successfully get their murder to execute techniques, the Akegarasu must hold the Ram seal to bolster their mental connection and transfer such demands across. Attaining the S-Rank option eliminates the need for that one seal.
Description: An Akegarasu knows they've reached a pivotal point in their mastery when they've attained the ability to choreograph the actions of their crows via the established mental connection alone. The Minds Connection Mastery takes their mental demands and precision to another level, allowing the user to execute Akegarasu techniques without the need for hand seals. Though chakra costs for each technique are the same, transferred over this cerebral bond, the crow master attains a more fluid control of their chakra-composed avifauna to use their murder more effectively.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must have at least '1000 EXP' in Clan.

Yamiyo Karasu no Jutsu (Giant Crow Technique)
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: High
Special: Giant crow requires 50 crows for creation, stands tall at 10 meters, and measures 10 more meters from its tail to its beak, with a 20 meter wingspan. In order to give the giant crow instructions, the 'Bird' seal must be held. Once riding the crow itself moves at speeds roughly a bit faster than a well thrown kunai. Can sustain attacks 'A' rank and below. While it cannot use ninjutsu or genjutsu, the giant crow excels at taijutsu.
Description: A more advanced Akegarasu secret technique, the clan member expresses their dominion over the sacred crow by calling their murder together, and forcing them all to converge at once. The result is the evolution of a species, with one giant crow as a living testament of the technique's success. Despite its size, the crow has not lost its speed, and instead is a bit more durable, granting its master an aerial edge unlike any other.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.


Sanzengarasu no Jutsu
(Scattering One Thousand Crows Technique)
Rank: C x10 (Max)
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Crows can exist as far as the eye can see, or until the user leaves the thread, and take no additional chakra for upkeep. Up to 10 are summonsed the first time, with 10 more each time this jutsu is re-learned. Crows move almost as fast as kunai, and maintain a mental chakra connection to the user for the sake of communication.
Description: The base behind the Akegarasu is their control and use of crows in battle, displayed well with this technique. After forming a few simple seals, the crow king will call upon a murder of crows to fly around and envelop the target, causing confusion with their dark forms and quick movement. From here, either a comrade or the user can move within the flock wearing dark clothes and wielding a dark weapon almost undetected. With the target distracted by the crows, the ninja can strike more efficiently. Finally, the mass of crows can obscure any retreating ninja, as the crows are massive in numbers and composed of the user's chakra. When no longer needed, the murder of crows will simply puff away in smoke.
Domain: Akegarasu.

Kurafutikarasu! (Crafty Crows!)
Rank: Cx2
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See Special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Crows can operate as far as the eye can see, following the same restrictions as the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Each crow used can only carry one projectile at a time. When first learned, user can only control 10 projectile-carrying crows at a time, plus 10 more each time retrained- for a grand limit of 50.
Description: A cunning technique utilized by those that have connected with their crows at a deeper level, the Akegarasu will toss up to a total of ten small projectiles into the air. These projectiles can range from kunai to explosive tags. Once these items are airborne, the crows will snatch them from the air with either their beaks or talons. It is then that they are controlled via the mental connection they have with their master, to unleash potentially deadly aerial assaults with the projectiles provided. This can range from dropping kunai on unsuspecting enemies, to scattering explosive tags upon a desired location for further detonation. Crafty crows indeed!
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Satsujin no Nami (Murder's Wave)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Crows can operate as far as the eye can see, following the same restrictions as the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Requires at least 10 crows summoned with the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Number of crows used determines the number of targets capable of being carried off and the number of secondary weapons that can be swept away. By using the 'Kurafutikarasu' technique, secondary items that have been swept away can be held by the crows in question and used against the opponent following the restrictions of said technique. Crows sweep target's away at 5 meters a second, until said target escapes their grip or until the user is comfortable with the distance and-or result.

• 10 crows // 5 secondary weapons
  
  
• 20 crows // 10 secondary weapons // 1 person
  
  
• 30crows // 20 secondary weapons // 2 people
  
  
• 40 crows // 30 secondary weapons // 3 people
  
  
• 50 crows // 40 secondary weapons // 4 people
  
  
• +10 crows // +10 secondary weapons // +1 person

Description: Often used as a counter by Akegarasu, this effective technique utilizes the user's crows to fend off projectile-weaponry and even drag away targets who may be too close for the user's comfort. Through means of their mental connection with the master, the murder will flock towards and repel whatever it has been designated to counter. Using their beaks and talons, they will amass in unison to carry off projectile-weapons thrown or pull a person backwards. Though it has been used many times in the past as a means of fending off someone or using their projectiles against them, there have quite a few cases in which the Murder's Wave truly lived up to its name- by throwing people off a cliff, for example, or driving them into a wave of fire.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Kurou Shuriken no Jutsu (Crow Shuriken Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Secret Technique
Range: 20 meters
Chakra: Mid
Special: Requires crows summoned by the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Fires one shuriken per crow used. Shuriken cast lose substance and disappear after two turns. Any of the user's crows within eyesight can be utilized for the technique.
Description: A basic yet effective Akegarasu technique, the user can utilize one or more of their own crows and transform them into deadly shuriken mid-flight. Solidified and sharpened to the point of surpassing even their original counterparts, these shuriken are powered by the user's burst of chakra, resulting in a deadly bombardment of black-starred projectiles, depending on the number of crows used.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Nagai Kyori no Kurou (Long Distance Crow)
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: Self
Chakra: High
Special: When first learned, a single Long Distance Crow can be produced. Each time re-learned, one additional crow can be made. When a crow is destroyed or chooses to disappear, whatever remaining chakra within their bodies, as well as their knowledge, returns to the user. Crows transmit everything they hear or see directly to the user through their mental connection, and the user can utilize the crow as an output for their vocal transmissions and other actions as well. This can be done by using applicable techniques in conjunction with the long distance perk.
Description: After years of invaluable war experience, the Akegarasu clan had finally managed to perfect a means of instant communication via their mental connection with crows. The result became the Long Distance Crow technique, a ninjutsu that allows the user to form a crow out of highly refined chakra, powerful enough to maintain a connection with its creator from extremely long distances, even managing to stay existent when several countries away from its creator. With it, the crow can travel to places the user is currently too preoccupied or unwilling to go to, serving as a means of visual and auditory feed and transmission.
Domain: Akegarasu.

Bochi no ômen (Graveyard's Omen)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See Special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Crows are trained to detect fresh corpses relative to the user's mission, and can do so quite quickly. Crows can operate as far as the eye can see.
Description: Lore has tended to look down upon crows as bringers of death, omens of bad luck and messengers of ill intent. In reality, they are but scavengers of the dead- who in turn can be utilized as reliable trackers in the ninja world. With this technique, the user's summoned crows will henceforth gain the ability to track down and lead their master to dead bodies within range. Whether these bodies are underground, hidden in brush, or burned to ashes, the crows in question will use all of their senses- including their sixth- to locate the deceased corpse. They've been known to perch ominously on branches, gravestones, or any other stationary object near the carcass before cawing out to their master- part of the reason it is called, "Graveyard's Omen".
Domain: Akegarasu.



Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu (Crow Clone Technique)
Rank: C x2
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Each clone requires 10 crows for creation. Clones, like the crows, can exist as far as the eye can see, or until the user leaves the thread, and take no additional chakra for upkeep. Clones move at crow speed, and can perform any Akegarasu jutsu the user knows. Clones disperse and reform once before being defeated, but each time this jutsu is re-learned, an additional reformation charge is gained.
Description: Once a murder of crows has been summoned in the hands of an experienced Akegarasu, a variety of sub-creations can be made to make the user deadly in battle. In this case with a sufficient amount of crows, the user forms a single seal - bird! - and calls them together in order to form of themselves. Unlike regular bunshin, the crow clone has substance, can move at the same speed as an individual crow, and best of all, scatters when struck for re-use. Although the clone is not spawned with the user's inventory, they will attain whatever main weaponry the user has at the time, if any. When struck by concentrated blows from bladed/blunt weaponry or even a bare fist, crows disperse and revert back to crow form instantly for further use. However, widespread, area-of-effect attacks such as elemental ninjutsu (katon, raiton, etc.) defeat the crows instantly.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Special: Bird seal must be held and eyes must be closed at all times in order for the vision to remain uninterrupted.

Domain: Katon.


Endan (Fireball)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid - High
Special: Distance that fireball can travel before automatically igniting depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shinka' rank. Fireball measures 1 meter, plus 1 more each time retrained. Fireballs travel at the speed of a kunai, and explode on impact for 5 meters all around.
Description:Although basic, the fireball technique is nonetheless efficient and deadly. After forming the necessary handseals, the shinobi will expel a jet stream of fire from their mouth, which quickly forms into a large fireball.

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: Dx5
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Low
Special: Shunshin no Jutsu is a high-speed movement in which the user moves in a linear fashion from one point to another. Usually facilitated with some sort of distraction (smoke bomb, explosion, or something of that nature to obscure one's vision), the user of the Shunshin no Jutsu can, in some cases, appear to have simply teleported from one location to another. Shunshin no Jutsu can be used once per thread, plus once more each time it is retrained.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique, it simple combines high mobility with a distraction to give off the appearance of vanishing - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to.
Domain: Shunshin - Universal Ninjutsu.

Notice: Contrary to popular belief, this technique is by no means instantaneous. While a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, you're still quite visible and easily defended against. Simply put, it isn't incomprehensibly fast. Beyond normal, most definitely, but not nearly as fast as it's been portrayed thus far. In order to achieve maximum effect, you'll need to combine it with a distraction of some sort.


Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Switch is near-instantaneous. Kawarimi can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained.

Requires the user to switch with objects equal or smaller in size; cannot switch with other living people or animals.
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, the moment an attack hits.
