Ninja Scroll number 17:
Advanced Training Scroll:
Kuchiyose: Summoning
Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Having signed a contract in blood, any ninja with this Ninjutsu technique can summon a beast, or beasts, from another plane of existence to use in battle. They must use their own blood as a "sacrifice" to summon them, after performing the hand seals corresponding with their animal and marking their point of summoning on the ground with both hands. Animals range from the famous Japanese Triad of the Toad, Snake, and Snail/Slug, to dogs, spiders, turtles, monkeys, and probably many more.
Also, each summoning race may have their own "king" to summon. For instance, the toads have Gamabunta, the snakes have Manda, and the slugs have Katsuyu. There is also a possibility that some beings are unique to summon. For instance, Sandaime has summoned Enma the Monkey King, and then the God of Death itself, while Orochimaru has succeeded in summoning the dead.
There are many variations to the Kuchiyose, some of which include the substitution of a life as a blood sacrifice, or even no sacrifice or hand seals at all. Not all things summoned are animals. People and items can be summoned. For instance, Sakon and Ukon's Rashoumon. Also, beings and items that exist in the ninja's world can be summoned through the use of a scroll. So, it is very likely that we have yet to see the full range of the Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
Some who are known to have the ability to summon are: the Sannin (Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade), Sandaime and Yondaime, Maito Gai, Hatake Kakashi, Mitarashi Anko, Kidoumaru, Tayuya, Sakon and Ukon. There are many more that have not been mentioned seeing as any ninja who has signed a contract in blood with any summoning race can then become a summoner.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Edo Tensei (Summoning Technique: Impure World Resurrection)
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
A forbidden Ninjutsu technique (Kinjutsu), which is a variation of the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique). Unlike the Kuchiyose, no contract is required with this technique, because instead of summoning a living being into our world, this jutsu summons the dead. To summon the dead, instead of the user signing a contract and sacrificing their blood, they must prepare a living person as a sacrifice, whose body will become the vessel of the summoned deceased's soul. The living sacrifice then has the dust and ashes of the deceased scattered around them. After that, the sacrifice's body will take on the physical and mental characteristics of the summoned, meaning that they will appear as they did up until the moment of their death, and will remember everything from their past, including any techniques that they possessed in life. All of this is prepared long before the technique's use in battle.
When the summoner is finally ready to use this technique in combat, the prepared body is summoned within a wooden coffin that rises up from the ground. Fully animated, the dead body frees itself. At this point, though, it is nothing more than a walking corpse. It is then that the summoner implants a fuda, an amulet designed to bring the summoned's vitality back, and also to degenerate them to nothing more than a slave of the summoner's will. This fuda is commonly seen as a shuriken with a seal tied to its end, which is then driven deep into the skull of the summoned being. Along with vitality and blood-thirst, the fuda may play a part in the ability of the summoned's body to regenerate quickly. After all of this, the summoned being is as powerful as they were before their death, and is battle-ready. They remain in this world until they are claimed by death once again, at which point they crumble to dust, returning to the physical forms of the sacrificed.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Mouhogosha (Summoning Technique: Blind Guardians)
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
A variation of the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique), this technique summons one, or many, blind guardians with bandages wrapped around their eyes and faces, who will protect their summoner so long as they are directed. And the way that they are directed is what is unique about this technique. The ninja plays a melody on a flute to communicate with the blind guardians, as they cannot see on their own. A very odd Ninjutsu technique.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Rashoumon (Summoning Technique: Rashoumon)
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
A Ninjutsu technique, which is a variation of the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique). Instead of summoning a being of flesh and blood, this technique summons Rashoumon, a large, impenetrable gate with the face of a demon on it.
Kaliea: Here is some interesting info that I found and figured I could put in seeing as the kids are going to learn to summon. Oops, did I say that? ;3 Please review!
Review Answers:
Bittersweet Dreams: They are main characters they just don't have much of a role for a while. I'm glad you liked Kyuubi-chan, to be honest I wasn't sure how well that would fly but you all seem to like it ok, I'm glad. As for the rest of your questions, I can't say yet…
AiTenshiKosmos: Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
So-kun: Hehe, I was just kidding, though it would be rather cool to have one…(thinking of all the fun things to do to her brothers) Hehehehe. JK!
Jays Arravan: I suppose I have, but I wanted to make it clear that Sakura was not going to be the weakest of her group, she's not really the strongest, but she won't be the weakest. Actually, they're all pretty equal in skill and strength…
Susakuru: What about? Maybe I can clear it up better. Thanks for the review!
Angelgurl079: Sorry, I can be pretty evil sometimes and I can assure you, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Danny-171984: Bummer, oh well :D Just more insentive to work harder on the next chapter! As for Hikari sealing Sakura's heartstrings, yeah it was pretty smart of her (coughs in attempt to hide her round about way of bragging) But if you remember, Hikari can't use her heartstrings, they've been cut off. So if Sakura's heartstrings hadn't been cut off she wouldn't feel Hikari's pain, she would think that she was dead like Kyo does. Thanks for the review!
NaruHinalover: You have a praise Kaliea mode -O.O- I'm flattered!
Shinobi Darkbeak: Thanks! I'll do my best!
Dragon Man 180: (Hides behind Kyuubi-chan) Don't kill me! Things will get better!
Kaliea: Thanks to all of my reviewers! Love ya lots! Till next time, ja ne!
