Contract Name: The Crow Contract
Type: Animal
Specimen: Crow
Culture/Lore:
Element(s): Katon
Designated Skill: Kuchiyose
Summoning Method & Requirements: Crows are generally summoned in groups of their specific typing, and those groups are summoned by merely paying the appropriate amount of chakra. They will then fly from behind some form of cover, whether it be a tree, building, some other part of the scenery, or from underneath some portion of the user's clothes, whether it be a jacket, the sleeves, or anything else. Specialized crows of C-Rank and lower don't come in groups and are summoned via a Hand Seal specific to the type of crow, but will appear in the same manner as Grouped Crows once the seal is made. Crows of higher rank than C, whether Grouped or Specialized, require both a Hand Seal and a blood offering, usually spread across the palm, a scroll, or the ground, and will appear wherever the blood is spread. Uniquely, this contract does not create sealing patterns common of the Kuchiyose Technique.
Drawbacks: While all crows are intelligent, none below B-Rank may speak in anything other than Caw, the natural language of the entire Corvus genus. Grouped Crows are weaker overall, limiting their Strength stat to D-Tier and Constitution to E-Tier and forcing them to use their jutsu all at once or in unison, depending on the jutsu, while Specialized Crows have no ability to utilize the summoning aspect of this contract's abilities. As birds, all Crows naturally move two tiers below their Speed stat, to a minimum of E, when moving via their legs.

Classification: Contract Specific (Crow)
Requirements: None
Parent Technique: None
Hand Seals: None
Description: This is the primary technique of the Crow Contract and is the source of its duplicating power. For as long as the technique is active, any crow using it will instantly avoid a killing blow by spontaneously summoning another crow, using the pressure of the summoning to force the blow between the two crows and make it appear as though the one crow split into two.
Weaknesses: This technique is applied to an entire group of summons at once and once active, it remains active until the summons run out of chakra. The split can only occur once per crow, but due to the intelligent nature of crows, they are able to place themselves in such a way that only the ones yet to split are hit, until all have done it and their number effectively doubles. Even once all are split, the upkeep does not stop being paid. Widespread techniques like fireballs can negate the use of this technique, forcing affected crows to unsummon rather than split to avoid death.

Description: A special fluid produced by Katon-nature crows when preening is able to react to the certain flow of chakra produced by this technique, causing a resistance to Fire Release techniques of C-Rank and below.
Weaknesses: Katon techniques of B-Rank and higher are able to overwhelm and evaporate the fluid, thereby opening the crows to incineration and forcing them to unsummon. Removing the feathers is also an option, as that is where the protection lies. This technique is passive once activated and continues to drain chakra until the summons run out.

Range: 25m

Element: None
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Contract Specific (Crow)
Requirements: None
Parent Technique: None
Hand Seals: None
Description: This technique allows a crow to shed a single feather from its wing and coat in chakra before flinging it towards any target in range. The coating of chakra enhances the durability of the feather to that of a metal knife, thin and sharp enough to cut into stone.
Weaknesses: When used by Grouped Crows, this technique's cost increases to 3 points and is used by all of the crows simultaneously. The feathers can be blocked by metal or similar solid materials.
Name: Major Multiply
Rank: C
Activation Cost: 0
Upkeep Cost: 3
Range: Self
Speed: Instant
Element: None
Skill: Kuchiyose
Classification: Contract Specific (Crow)
Requirements: None
Parent Technique: Minor Multiply
Hand Seals: None
Description: Like the parent technique, this jutsu is constant flow of chakra that responds to an attack by instantly summoning another crow, redirecting the blow harmlessly between them and giving off the appearance that they split in two. What makes this technique different is that it can be used more than once. The chakra remains active once a split occurs and actually passes onto the newly summoned crows, allowing for a second round of summoning beyond the first at an even greater volume. This can effectively quadruple the total amount of crows.
Weaknesses: This technique is applied to an entire group of summons at once and once active, it remains active until the summons run out of chakra. The split can only occur once per crow, but due to the intelligent nature of crows, they are able to place themselves in such a way that only the ones yet to split are hit, until all have done it and their number effectively doubles. Even once all are split, the upkeep does not stop being paid. Widespread techniques like fireballs can negate the use of this technique, forcing affected crows to unsummon rather than split to avoid death.

Rank: C
Range: Self
Speed: Instant
Element: None
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Contract Specific (Crow)
Requirements: None
Parent Technique: None
Hand Seals: None
Description: This is a technique by which the Crow will specially prepare its eye sockets to accept any incoming eyes, allowing the implantation of any Doujutsu, regardless of bloodline, without the need of surgery or the risk of failure. Connections with the eye are made automatically and the crow is naturally able to utilize the eye as if it were its own. When the crow has Intelligence of C-Tier or higher Intelligence, it can be issued a command associated with the Doujutsu and activated accordingly, such as seeing a specific object or pattern.
Weaknesses: Powers of the Doujutsu cannot be used outside of an issued command unless the Crow has B-Tier or higher Intelligence. To use this technique, the crow's eye sockets must be able to actually fit the eye. While this technique avoids the need of Ijutsu for implantation, it also does not count as a surgery and will have no bearing on the success rate of anyone using it.
Name: Combination Sealing
Rank: C
Range: Touch
Speed: Instant
Element: None
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Contract Specific (Crow)
Requirements: Combination: Fuuinjutsu
Parent Technique: None
Hand Seals: None
Description: By effectively turning the crow itself into a seal, the summoner can apply his knowledge of Fuuinjutsu to combine the crow with the chakra of a person, to include even himself. The crow will remain as part of the person, unnoticeable and undetected, until a condition applied at the time of sealing is met. This condition can be one of many things, but is generally in response to the presence or activation of a specific person or ability.
Weaknesses: The crow must physically touch the target person and that person must not forcefully resist the crow. Because of this, it is best to use this technique while the target is under the influence of some kind of Genjutsu or is unconscious. This cannot be used on the deceased, as they have no living chakra to work with, and it requires that the person controlling the crow to possess the Fuuinjutsu Skill. Once emerged, the crow can remain partially combined with the person for up to a post and can use its techniques or abilities during this time, but it is unable to attack the person it is combined with until it fully separates. Emergence is generally an unpleasant experience similar to vomiting, so the person will be very aware of the crow and its position, no matter where or how it chooses to emerge.
