I'd love to see summons used more often. They're so useful and it's a life saving skill to have so I don't know why more people didn't have summons. Also didn't think most that had summons didn't use them enough. Naruto could have used them more, as could Sasuke, but they used them far more often then Sakura. Sakura hardly ever used summons and was Katusya the only slug summon? Think I'll just chalk that up to Kisimoto being sexist cause the Orichimaru, Jiraya, Naruto, and Sasuke used their summons far more then either of those two.

Also Kiba should have been able to summon a pack of dogs. It's the only logical conclusion as to how he could have progressed further. Fighting a pack of ninja hounds would be a pain in the ass.

Shino should have been able to summon cool insects. Enough said.

I think Tenten or Konohamaru should have learned to summon monkeys. Tenten because monkeys are capable of using tools and Enma could turn into a staff fitting her fight style and Konohamaru to take more after the third instead of being a watered down Naruto.

Then someone in Team Asuma preferably Ino should have gotten some kind of big animal summon like giant boars or rhinos. This way they'd have something to guard Ino when she used her jutsu and then cast more Shadows for Shikimaru to use. It would have also given Ino more offense and utility.
