The '''Summoning Technique''' is a [[space–time ninjutsu]] that allows the summoner to transport animals or people across long distances instantly and uses blood as a sacrifice.

Before an animal summoning can be performed, a prospective summoner must first sign a contract with a given species.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 92, page 14</ref> The contract comes in the form of a scroll, on which the contractor uses their own blood to sign their name and place their fingerprints and once signed it is valid even after the contractors death as long as the contract itself remains intact.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 530, page 14</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 577, page 14</ref> After this, they need only offer an additional donation of blood on the hand they signed the contract with, mould their chakra with [[hand seals]] and then plant the hand they signed the contract with at the location they wish to summon the creature.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 92, page 19</ref> The amount of chakra used during the summoning determines how powerful the summoned creature can be. It is possible for a summoner to summon a group of the same contracted animal, as opposed to a single individual.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 508, page 4</ref>

Before an animal can be summoned, a prospective summoner must first form a contract with the animal and/or its species.

To actually summon an animal, users apply some of their blood to the hand they signed the contract with. Usually they bite one of their fingers to accomplish this, but blood from injuries elsewhere on their body can also be used. They press the hands' five fingers to the ground and channel chakra to the hand, summoning the animal to that location.<ref name="Fan">''[[Hyō no Sho]]'', page 163</ref> The amount of chakra gathered in the hand determines the size and number of animals that are summoned: if too little chakra is offered, only a small, young animal will be summoned;<ref name="c165"/> by offering large amounts of chakra, multiple adult animals can be summoned simultaneously.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 430, pages 2-3</ref> Two people who have signed the same contract can pool their chakra to summon especially large animals.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 650, page 6</ref> If an individual has access to the blood of someone who has signed an animal's contract, they can use the blood to summon the animal; the individual will need to provide their own chakra, however.<ref name="c363">''Naruto'' chapter 363</ref>

It should be noted that anyone can summon a contracted animal as long as they have the blood of someone who has made a contract, the seal of the summoned creature and a source of sufficient chakra that the summon will accept.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 169, page 17</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 363, page 10</ref> A creature is capable of determining who is attempting to summon it from the chakra used.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 170, page 4 — Manda believes Orochimaru summoned him</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 561, page 11</ref>

Animals are typically summoned in order to lend assistance to their summoner, either by carrying out tasks or joining them in combat. Summoners will sometimes use their summons as a base for other [[jutsu]], as with [[Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique]] and [[Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 124, pages 9-11</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 214, pages 15-17</ref> But summoned animals are not actually required to do anything and may choose instead to harm their summoner; [[Manda]] routinely threatens to kill his summoners.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 171, page 2</ref> Animals can even refuse their summoner's attempt to summon them by sending another of their species in their place.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 634, page 1</ref> Animals are not summoned indefinitely and will return to wherever they were summoned from when they tire out and/or enough time has passed.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 642, page 8</ref> Summoners can take advantage of this by riding along when their summon returns home, granting them a quick means of escaping an area.<ref name="c363"/>
While most summoners have only been shown capable of summoning one type of creature, Nagato (through the [[Animal Path]]) was able to summon several different animals and even [[Konan|people]], and seemingly did not require a blood offering when performing this technique. Sasuke is able to summon both [[snakes]] and [[hawks]], though he has never been seen summoning both species at the same time.
 
   
  +
Having the [[Rinnegan]] allows the user to circumvent several of the Summoning Technique's normal limitations. Using the [[Animal Path]], Rinnegan users can [[Summoning Rinnegan|summon]] dozens of different animals (and even [[Konan|people]]) without the need for blood. It is only with the Rinnegan that the [[Demonic Statue of the Outer Path]] can be summoned, whose actions are directly controlled by the Rinnegan user.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 606, pages 12-14</ref> [[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki]] – the originator of the Rinnegan – is able to summon five people and the nine [[tailed beast]]s from [[Kaguya's Dimension]]s,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 690, pages 14-17</ref> though he needs the chakra of seventeen dead [[Kage]] to do so.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 686, page 1</ref>
== Other Information ==
 
Once summoned, the animal can perform a task or help the user in battle. The summon is not required to help the user, and may be more of a hindrance than an ally. In addition, summons are able to [[Reverse Summoning Technique|summon their summoner]]. They may also wear a [[forehead protector]], suggesting a loyalty to only one village. Summoning can serve as a base for other techniques, as is the case with [[Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique]] and [[Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance]]. In the event that a summon is busy, a substitute can choose to be summoned in their stead.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 634, page 1</ref>
 
 
Animals that are being controlled or tailed beasts or possibly a combination of both require the summoner's chakra to keep them under the summoning technique. If the user is forced to fight, the time limit will be further reduced and thus, they would not want to drag out a fight. Minato himself noted even an individual as powerful as Madara is unable to keep a being as powerful as the [[Nine Tailed Demon Fox]] summoned for a prolonged period of time.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 502 page 13-17</ref>

The Summoning Technique allows the user to transport a target to their location.

Overview

Toad Contract Scroll

The toads' summoning contract.

Before an animal can be summoned, a prospective summoner must first form a contract with the animal and/or its species. In the case of the toads, the contract is a scroll that the summoner signs their name to using their own blood and further marks with the fingerprints of one of their hands.[3] Orochimaru has the snakes' contract tattooed to his arms, which he smears with blood each time he wants to perform a summoning.[4] A user can summon different species provided they have signed the respective contracts, as Sasuke Uchiha is able to summon snakes and hawks[5] while Konohamaru Sarutobi can summon toads and monkeys.[6] Contracts remain active even after death, allowing those revived with the Impure World Reincarnation to perform summons they established when they were alive.[7]

To actually summon an animal, users apply some of their blood to the hand they signed the contract with. Usually they bite one of their fingers to accomplish this, but blood from injuries elsewhere on their body can also be used. They press the hands' five fingers to the ground and channel chakra to the hand, summoning the animal to that location.[8] The amount of chakra gathered in the hand determines the size and number of animals that are summoned: if too little chakra is offered, only a small, young animal will be summoned;[4] by offering large amounts of chakra, multiple adult animals can be summoned simultaneously.[9] Two people who have signed the same contract can pool their chakra to summon especially large animals.[10] If an individual has access to the blood of someone who has signed an animal's contract, they can use the blood to summon the animal; the individual will need to provide their own chakra, however.[11]

Animals are typically summoned in order to lend assistance to their summoner, either by carrying out tasks or joining them in combat. Summoners will sometimes use their summons as a base for other jutsu, as with Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique and Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance.[12][13] But summoned animals are not actually required to do anything and may choose instead to harm their summoner; Manda routinely threatens to kill his summoners.[14] Animals can even refuse their summoner's attempt to summon them by sending another of their species in their place.[15] Animals are not summoned indefinitely and will return to wherever they were summoned from when they tire out and/or enough time has passed.[16] Summoners can take advantage of this by riding along when their summon returns home, granting them a quick means of escaping an area.[11]

Having the Rinnegan allows the user to circumvent several of the Summoning Technique's normal limitations. Using the Animal Path, Rinnegan users can summon dozens of different animals (and even people) without the need for blood. It is only with the Rinnegan that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path can be summoned, whose actions are directly controlled by the Rinnegan user.[17] Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki – the originator of the Rinnegan – is able to summon five people and the nine tailed beasts from Kaguya's Dimensions,[18] though he needs the chakra of seventeen dead Kage to do so.[19]

Trivia

  • "Kuchiyose" (口寄せ, literally meaning: drawing in to speak) refers to the practice of allowing spirits to possess one's body and speak through it.
  • A technique formulae (術式, jutsu-shiki) is produced at the hand's location when a summoning is performed. Like with seals, these formulae are a random assortment of Kanji, Hindi script, and other symbols.
  • Animals can summon those who have signed contracts with them using the Reverse Summoning Technique.[20]
  • Kurama can apparently identify who is trying to summon it,[21] something other summons have not been able to do.[22] Similarly, any person who has summoned Kurama must continually provide their own chakra in order to keep it under their control.[23]
  • In the anime, Shiromari is summoned for a fifty year period because of a scroll left by its summoner before they died. When the scroll was destroyed, Shiromari was finally able to return home.[24]
  • In the Naruto: Shippūden anime, attempting to summon an animal without first signing a contract teleports the user to the home of the animal they have a natural affinity for. [25] In the Boruto anime, attempting to do this simply results in failure.[26]
