The user summon a murder of crows, these crows will fly around the target, causing confusion with their dark forms and quick movement. A comrade 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 easily. Also the mass of crows can obscure any retreating ninja. When no longer needed, the murder of crows will simply puff away in smoke.
Aobo used this jutsu against Kakuzu and Hidan to aid Shikamaru and his team in escaping. Later, Itachi used a variation of this jutsu when talking to Naruto and gave him a portion of his power.
