XXXXXOwls
XX｡｡｡BACKGROUND
XXXXXThe Founder of the Fujibayashi clan first formed a contract with a great horned owl and it's flock during his days as a independent Shinobi, creating a bond that spans generations between this flock and his clan, this bond even showing in the clan's symbol, children being taught how to summon the owls of this flock after becoming a genin. Touhata as well was rewarded with this, having formed a personal contract with a particular owl.
XX｡｡｡ABILITIES & PROPERTIES
XXXXXOwls, like hawks, can be used for long-distance communication, but the particular owls utilized by the Fujibayashi clan seem to be more bred for combat, taking advantage of the innate ability to fly almost silently to perform surprise attacks against their targets, their sharp talons slashing them from a blind spot, often performing hit and run tactics. Of course, with most Summoning Animals, the owls of this Flock vary in size, some being large enough for someone to ride upon as a mode of transportation. Eyesight is a particular characteristic of the owl that aids in nocturnal prey capture. Owls are part of a small group of birds that live nocturnally, but do not use echolocation to guide them in flight in low-light situations. Owls are known for their disproportionally large eyes in comparison to their skulls. Since the eyes are fixed, they are unable to move the eyes in any direction. Instead of moving their eyes, owls swivel their heads to view their surroundings. Owls' heads are capable of swiveling through an angle of roughly 270°, easily enabling them to see behind them without relocating the torso. This ability keeps bodily movement at a minimum, thus reduces the amount of sound the owl makes as it waits for its prey. Owls are regarded as having the most frontally placed eyes among all avian groups, which gives them some of the largest binocular fields of vision. However, owls are farsighted and cannot focus on objects within a few centimeters of their eyes. Owls exhibit specialized hearing functions and ear shapes that also aid in hunting. With ears set at different places on its skull, an owl is able to determine the direction from which the sound is coming by the minute difference in time that it takes for the sound waves to penetrate the left and right ears.[citation needed] The owl turns its head until the sound reaches both ears at the same time, at which point it is directly facing the source of the sound. This time difference between ears is a matter of about 0.00003 seconds, or 30 millionths of a second. While the auditory and visual capabilities of the owl allow it to locate and pursue its prey, the talons and beak of the owl do the final work. The coloration of the owl's plumage plays a key role in its ability to sit still and blend into the environment, making it nearly invisible to prey. Owls tend to mimic the colorations and sometimes even the texture patterns of their surroundings, the common barn owl being an exception.

【Role-play Sample】
XX｡｡｡SHINOBI APPLICATION SAMPLE
XXXXXThe sea was such a beautiful thing, it was always something he wanted to explore once he was old enough, but he never imagined he would be heading out to sea this early. Thanks to his decision on taking a dive during a Coliseum fight, he was given a ride on the ship of one of his Father's enemies. This enemy was Otto Mallor, Captain of the Brick Pirates; his evident hate for Danbash came from the fact that the half giant had destroyed his village at some point in the past. At first Otto had hoped the the Marines would take care of it, but no such thing had happened and thus he had become a Bounty Hunter, but that hadn't worked either due to some locations being guarded by Pirates. Eventually the man became a Pirate and gathered men from his village who wanted to enact vengeance on Danbash; they managed to track Danbash to Dressrosa which thankfully they lived a few islands away from. As angry as they were, they noticed how close he was to Bandash and thought the best way to do him over was to take away his son far away from him. They originally planned to simply kidnap Bandash, but what one of their men saw convinced them he was there against his will. What they saw was Danbash having two other Gladiators beating Bandash up, his father telling him not to fight back so that he may toughen up.
It was at that moment they knew they had to get him away, not only to piss off Danbash, but to save Bandash as well. When they offered to take Bandash away, the young man was ecstatic, almost crying from the idea of being able to get out onto the sea, escaping his father was just a side benefit. Without a doubt he was on a way to exploring the world. During the fight, Bandash and Otto's crew member had exchanged a few blows before a "knock out punch" hit Bandash right in the abdomen. Escaping from his Father was rather hard as the man had two of friends guarding Bandash whenever he wasn't fighting. Due to their strength, Otto and his crew simply couldn't beat him up and rather had the most feminine-looking member dress in drag to lure them away. Sure they followed, but it wasn't because they were stupid, but because they thought they were that stupid and proceeded to beat that member up. Luckily the pummeling took long enough for them to get Bandash away and when they came back to Bandash, the crew was able to rescue their member that was in drag. With both rescued, Bandash was on his way with Otto and his crew to Bancho Village, a place where a member of their crew came from.
Eventually they had landed on the island Bancho Village was located, serving as a place for them to let Bandash to start his adventure on. He was thankful, truly thankful for what they have done for him; not only was the voyage fun, but he could start one on his own now! He also thanked them for inspiring him to become a Pirate from not only the look of enjoyment on their faces, but the fact they were all friends. Bandash had no idea what it was like to be a pirate, but to him the kind of pirates Otto and his men showed to be was the ideal kind, the type that focused on going on adventures and making friends, though he had no idea why they became Pirates in the first place. Bandash had always felt like he was tied down, sure he loved his sister, but he was stuck taking care of her and their "mom." But now...There was nothing keeping him in one place! He was truly free this time! Smiling happily, Bandash had begun to explore the village while Otto and his men began to gather supplies for their next voyage. Bandash had loved how amazing this village looked and how deep in the jungle it was! He had climbed many things, getting on the roofs of houses, getting onto branches, he was practically a monkey. He liked that many of the people here were kind to him despite not even knowing him, it was like they were all family to him or something. Bandash knew only a few people in his life that were truly kind to him, those people were Ririko, Otto and his men, and the villagers of Bancho Village. Eventually he was called down from a tree by Otto; "BANDAAAASH! COME DOWN HERE!!" He shouted out loudly which instantly caught Bandash's attention. "Comiiiiing!" Bandash had shouted back before climbing back down the tree at a very fast pace. Now standing in front of Otto, Bandash had given the man a big toothy smile which Otto would return with a smile of his own.
"Well it's been fun kid! But we got to head out, be pretty bad if someone spotted a pirate ship near this place." Otto had stated which Bandash knew had truth in it, but it was kind of sad to see all of his new friends leave..."Awww alright....We'll meet again won't we?" Danbash had asked him, both his voice and face full of hope that he would reassure him that they would indeed meet again someday. Giving him a soft smile and patting his head, Otto would meet Bandash at eye level and say "In the New World we will! Come back there and I assure you we will!" Otto said to him happily, causing a even bigger smile on Bandash's face before nodding at him. Before he and his men had left, Otto had held his hand out to Bandash as the two shook hands. Eventually the Brick Pirates left and as soon as they got onto their ship, Otto and his First Mate had a chat. "Why'd ya lie to him? You know we're dead the second we run into Danbash...." He stated, genuinely curious why Otto lied. "If he's going to be a pirate, he needs something to drive him to go that far and to survive once he gets there...Sure the kid seemed excited, but excitement isn't always enough....If we, his rescuers die then maybe that'll be enough for him to be more determined than he already is." Otto said aloud, wanting his entire crew to hear his words, but they all looked just as determined to avenge their home. Sadly, their fate would be destruction by Danbash's hands, but they will not give away where they left Bandash off as they will remove their tongues before encountering Danbash. With them gone, Bandash had wondered what to do next, he could perhaps explore the island a bit more, maybe even buy something to play with...A bit curious he had begun to walk around the island to see if he could find anything to do. He wondered why this village was called Bancho, he knew the word had to do something with manliness so was the founder of this village manly?
