Owls (梟, Fukurō), like hawks, can be used for long-distance communication. Motoi is able to summon owls (such as Fukuemon) so that he can quickly relay messages from Genbu to Kumogakure.

Trivia

• In the anime, the ninja monks from the Fire Temple use owls as messengers.^[1]
• Shira's Silent Fist technique resembles the function of owl feathers.
