 * Name: Kuchiyose no Jutsu, 口寄せの術, literally "Summoning Technique", Viz "Shinobi Conjuration", English TV "Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu"

The basic form of all summoning techniques, this jutsu uses a contract, hand seals, and the user's blood to summon an animal or weapon from another dimension. As an alternative to the normal hand seals, the same contract that appears on the ground during the summoning can be drawn by hand and activated, producing the same result. The type of animal summoned is determined by the contract. The blood is used as a signature to make the contract, which can be written on a scroll or tattoo, valid. Once summoned, the animal can perform a task or help the user in battle.

Specially prepared scrolls are used for any weapon summons.

The summoned animal is usually subservient to the summoner; however, the more powerful summons, such as Gamabunta and Manda, demand respect and loyalty from their summoners. Manda even demands a hundred live human sacrifices.
