Hawk

Hawks are commonly used for communication between villages. Takamaru is Sunagakure's fastest messenger hawk. Itachi Uchiha used hawks many times through his attacks. They often involved usage of crows, both in ninjutsu and genjutsu. This is seen amongst others with his creation of a clone that dissolves into crows and using crows to hide shuriken in them. Sasuke Uchiha is also able to summon hawks, which he can use for flight. Sasuke used his hawk to deflect Danzō's wind technique.
