Summon - Vultures.
Description
Vultures are often seen near places that are affiliated with death. They are predators with a weird characteristic, they wait for their prey to be severely weakened, rather than attack them with their might. Vultures pick the weak and the sick as their prey and eat them to survive, this way they are not to get wounded. The vulture is a group animal for that reason aswell, appearing in groups of two and three is not unusual for the animal. They rather play it safe than use less time and gamble an injury.
As a summon, vultures are very loyal in battle, taking direct orders as if they were ordered as soldiers. They need a leader to be at the top of their functionality. Vultures that have more power do have some sort of arrogance, yet when being cornered all vultures will appear as a coward.
Background
Being an infamous summon not many people choose to sign a contract with the Vulture. Their characteristics being ugly to look at in most cases and not being the fastest bird in the air kingdom, who would choose a slower bird if they could alliance with a hawk? The vulture represents death, something most shinobi are not very fond of. Next to scaring the others around them even if they don't mind it.
Requirements & Rules
● The summoner must possess the Wind Element at the time of using the Vulture, why would somebody that constantly uses the ground as a battlefield have air support?
● The summoner must have patience, a characteristic they share with a vulture. If the summoner is dumb minded or incapeable of forming strategies he or she cannot summon vultures.
● The summoner must have an affinity with heat, whether coming out of the desert or being able to use the Fire Element.
● The summoner can't be a Medical Ninja.
● When using vultures the battle style must always be as a leader rather than that of a companion, otherwise the user will lose control over his summon!
● When using the Vulture king as a summon the character will turn coldblooded by his presence.
● Vultures only use techniques from their own skill list or collaboration techniques.
● With more summoned vultures the summoner gets colder, this effect doesn't apply in Sage Mode.

The true vulture king, King Nobirindan. does not have an affinity.
(*Can only be summoned when certain of death or when in Sage Mode).
Nobirindan is the king of all vultures and is seen as the only ruler of the vulture kingdom, any other vulture has a fear and enormous respect towards him. He can work as the leader on the battlefield and will only lay down this role when he has great respect for his summoner, other than that his influence and appearance makes the summoner himself coldblooded, forgetting any phobia and giving them true murdering intent. Other vultures that are in the same zone (only when summoning) will show no more fear and will all get very serious. Nobirindan has four heads making him have different personalities. While two of his heads aren't able to speak but only attack. This gives him a split personality, similar to a schizophrenic.
Left Head (Top Left corner); This head does the speeching and talking of Nobirindan, this head is referred to by the name of Rindan. Which makes him the leader of the body, he shares an arrogant and a all knowing personality, next to being extremely cruel and coldhearted.
Right Head (Top Right corner); This head gives advice and focuses on the technical details and strategies when in battle, this head is referred to by the name of Nobi, the head is the so called adviser part of the Vulture King.
The vulture king only uses grand amounts of acid fired from his lower two mouths, he can fire massive beams of raw chakra from the part where his heads get together, there is a hole in that place.
Nobirindan is about 164 feet / 50 meters tall.
Techniques:
E Rank - Scratch.
The vulture flies above the opponent and tries to scratch him/her with the claws, vultures with more claws like Muerteros can use this technique as if it were C Ranked.
E Rank - Vulture Language.
This is the most basis technique from the vulture, by screaming at each other they can work alongside each other. The screeches are very short in comparison to words and specifically indicate an action. Meaning vultures can quickly work together to attack an enemy with a collaborated technique.
*Summoner is able to use this in Sage Mode.
D Rank - Vultural Death Wind.
The vulture uses his wings to clap up wind and fire this at the enemy, a bigger vulture can use this technique to level trees and such, this technique is ment to blow something or the opponent away, rather than attacking them.
D Rank - Winged Kunai.
As vultures have feathers but no kunais they use their feathers as weapons, with the D Ranked version of this technique a vulture can fire a few of his feathers, the bigger the bird the harder the impact, nothing special happens to the feathers, so if they land unlucky this technique will be succesful, its more of a diversion than really a technique.
D Rank - Vulture Screech (Genjutsu)
By announcing their target the vulture lets out an enormous scream, that is of a very high pitch. This pitch will cause the opponent to not hear anything for a limited amount of time, thereby closing off his hearing senses. Weak opponents (in comparison to the power of the summon ) will hallucinate from this sound, thus making it a Genjutsu.
C Rank - Desert Rain.
Although a weak technique for the higher summons that use Water style, the vulture uses his wings to clap off sweat, this sweat rains down on the opponent. By clapping the wings at an enormous speed the vulture will start to sweat a lot. This technique tires the vulture out quite a bit.
C Rank - Circular heat.
The vulture circulates above the battlefield while the summoner and opponent are still in battle, this circulary motion makes the reflecting sun have a higher density and makes the air heat up, this way the use of Fire Elements is more succesful and faster. The heat can also dehydrate.
C Rank - Diving Prey.
Because of the vultures being ordered around the summoner can choose to use the vulture as a diving projectile, the vulture dives at the opponent from high up the air, gaining more speed, by using wind shaped chakra they fasten their speed even more, making them quite deadly.
C Rank - Fire from the asphalt.
By flying close over the ground the summoned vulture builds up a static shock. When he then pulls his jaw over the ground a fire is created. This fire can be fired with a Wind Affinity, thus making it only available for vultures with that element.
B Rank - Wind Theather.
2 or more vultures together can combinate their strength to fire around objects with the wind force coming from both of their wings. A kunai or a larger object (with stronger summons) can be moved through the air, aslong as the vultures keep it in the air with air pressure.
B Rank - Rain of Shadows.
By powering up the D Ranked kunai technique a vulture can fire masses of Chakra based feathers at his opponent, this technique does have a special effect. Since most vultures are darkish of colour or have darker feathers their feathers easily blunt in with the shadow that the massive drops of feathers come with. This technique can create the illusion of only seeing a few blurs, since the feathers are dropping around the opponent.
B Rank - Precision Feather.
The vulture hardens 1-5 feathers and fires these at the opponent, being as sharp and deadly as a normal kunai or shuriken. The speed of these increase enormously as they are fired off with wind and from a height most of the time.
B Rank - Vulture style Daitoppa.
Since vultures aren't real shinobi they can use variations on existing techniques, by clapping their wings and creating a tornado like sphere they can make a bigger version of the Daitoppa technique, the technique isn't as deadly but does come with more force, having a more supportive side.
A Rank - Vultural Heat.
Any vulture of high level with a Fire Element can use this technique.
The vulture starts focusing air in its mouth with rapid amounts and releases this in a beaming motion, the speed of the twisting around causes sparks of fire to appear, this has a burning effect when hitting an object, can cause burnable objects to set aflame.
A Rank - Defence of the skyguardian.
Every vulture that is classified as an sky guardian can use this technique with their own custom weapon, the vulture spins his weapon around causing it to set aflame, the second act of this jutsu is that the vulture pulls his weapon over the ground, creating a change in terrain and sometimes causing fire when in areas where wildfires can be easily caused.
S Rank - Apocalypse blast.
Only to be used by all five sky guardians at the same time, the Apocalypse blast is a last resort and the strongest vulture attack. By utilizing their chakra the five vulture guardians fly into a square, having the general fly in the middle, then by releasing all chakra at the same point a gigantic black blast is released, much similar to a Bijuu Dama. All vulture summons will dissapear after this technique is used.
Sage Mode:
Sage Mode appearance.
Vulture Sage Mode is something weird to see, coming from the desert it adds dark lines around the users eye. As original coming from protection in the sun, the user's pupils will become yellowish, in a hypnotic way, indicating the affinity with the vulture (bird like pupils, combined with eye lines that protect from heat), as a finishing touch the users teeth will get longer (corner teeth, see picture) giving him more the appearance of a predator.
Sky Guardian Karate.
When in Sage Mode and in order to learn Sage Mode one must have an agreement with General Abonus. Similar to Frog Kumite the user of this Sage Mode learns an air taijutsu, this form of taijutsu brings a few advantages.
- The user is twice as fast with hand to hand combat when in the air.
- Attacks on the user when in the air will have a decreased effectivity.
- Its easier to remain airborn, by utilising the natural energy around the user the user is in a decreased gravity zone, the natural energy allowing him to stay higher in the air. This makes attacks more dramatic, but also prevents the user from constantly having to touch the ground
- The user creates more wind pressure (about 3x as much) when punching or moving around, giving it the effect that the user is constantly booming with power.
Unique traits and abilities.
The user will have a different personality when in Vulture Sage Mode, since the user uses another source of energy to function on.
- The user will be even more strategic, increasing intelligence is what causes this, this makes the user of the Sage Mode the absolute leader on the battlefield.
- The user will constantly be in a state of anger, telling opponents not to mess around and punishing off mistakes, the user of Vulture Sage Mode will get an increase in murder intent.
- The user can use Wind Element chakra with an increased amount of speed.
- The Fire Element of the user will have an increased amount of power, making it dominate, if two A Rank techniques crash the user in Vulture Sage mode will dominate over the other person.
- The usage of Lightning Jutsu will result in the user LOSING SAGE MODE.
Sage Jutsu / Senpo:
The user will need to learn every Sage Jutsu by themself, other than Sky Guardian Karate.
Sage Jutsu is almost always unique to the user, the user can borrow/learn techniques that are already existent, but the main point is that the user creates enhanced versions of his own jutsu, with vulture like traits. Its adviceable that the user uses the increased power of Wind and Fire jutsu when creating Vulture Sage Jutsu.
