Summoning Technique


 * Name: Kuchiyose no Jutsu, 口寄せの術, literally "Summoning Technique", Viz "Shinobi Conjuration", English TV "Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu"
 * Type: C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary
 * Users: Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and many other ninja, usually above Genin rank.
 * Hand Seals: Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram

The basic form of all summoning techniques, this jutsu uses a contract, hand seals, and the user's blood to summon an animal 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.

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