Chapter 10 is here! Last chapter I asked for suggestions for a new summoning contract, and I must say I got some very interesting ideas. In fact, they were so good I'm going to try and compile as many as I can into one contract. I'm sorry if you don't like this idea, but to be honest I've never been good at decisions and can't choose between them. Sorry! Oh, and sorry if your idea doesn't make the cut, some of them just didn't fit. And sorry if the wait is longer than usual, I couldn't think of what to write.

Chapter 10, An Official Summons

'Find the shadows...feel the shadows...gather them, and RELEASE!' Naruto shouted in his head as he held up his hand, a ball of shadows condensing in the centre. The ball exploded, sending Naruto through several trees before coming to a stop next to a rock. 'Damn, how can this technique be so hard to master?'

"bE pAtiEnT, NarUtO. iT wOn'T wOrk oVErNiGHt."

'I know, but I wish it would...what the hell is with that laughing?' Naruto thought, looking around his landing site. He walked in the direction of the disembodied laughter, finding a large toad standing in front of a window into the women's bath house with seemingly a large mass of spiky white hair on top. The giant hairball moved and giggled perversely every once in a while, which Naruto was starting to get confused at. He walked around to the side of the toad and saw that the hairball was actually an old man peeking into the baths. Naruto laughed under his breath.

"If you want to peek, old man, do it with style. So no-one will catch you and you'll be that much more cool and mysterious." The man turned around, revealing a notepad and pen in his hands.

"Huh? Go away kid, I'm busy researching."

"Oh, so that's what that is, I wondered if you were just peeping, old man."

"Old man? Do you know who I am?"

"No." The man sweat-dropped.

"I'm the great and awesome Jiraiya, the Toad Sannin! Teacher of the Fourth Hokage and Head Summoner of the Toads!"

"And don't forget a pervert."

"I'M NO PERVERT! I'm a super pervert!" Naruto sweat-dropped.

"Riiiight...anyway, I gotta get back to training. The Darkness is a slave driver and foxy isn't being much help." He said, making Jiraiya's face pale.

"D-Did you say the D-Darkness?" He asked, his face paling more and more each second.

"Yeah, it's my bloodline...wait, you said you were the Fourth's sensei...oh shit."

"NARUTO?"

"Not so loud, I have bad enough hearing thanks to Sakura."

"But the council said you were dead after the Kyuubi attack! How are you here?"

"Sounds like you've been Punk'd, dude."

"Why didn't Sarutobi-sensei tell me?"

"You're asking me? How should I know?"

"I...don't know...what the hell is going on?"

"Well, I told you to peek with more style..."

"Not that. I mean, why and how are you here?"

"I live in this village, I have a right. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go train to destroy Neji." Naruto said before running off into the forest.

'I need to speak to Sarutobi-sensei about this...now.' Jiraiya thought, disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

Hokage Tower...

'What sin have I committed to deserve all this paperwork?' Sarutobi thought, before groaning as his secretary brought in another pile. 'Hold on...something very, very bad is about to happen.' He ducked as the doors flew off their hinges, smashing the windows on their way out. He looked to the destroyed doorway to find a furious Jiraiya standing there.

"Why didn't you tell me Minato's son was alive?" He roared far louder than necessary.

"You met Naruto, huh?"

"And then some!"

"I made my decision to protect him from those like the members of the civilian council and the villagers."

"Protect him? If everyone had known, he wouldn't have been treated as bad as I assume he was!"

"How can you be so sure? I expect some people would still blame him. The council would try to arrange marriages in order to get his power on their side. And Danzo would up his efforts in regards to recruiting Naruto into Root. But, I suppose it doesn't matter now."

"What do you mean?" Jiraiya asked, calming down.

"You shouted so loud the whole village will have heard you," Sarutobi told him, a sweat-drop on his forehead.

"Is Naruto going to kill me?"

"It's highly likely. If I were you, I'd run."

"JIRAIYAAAAAAA!" Came a loud roar from off in the distance.

"Now." Jiraiya bolted out of the office in fear of Naruto's wrath. Running straight out of the tower and into the street, he came face to face with the blonde jinchuuriki himself.

"How fucking loud do you need to be, dipshit? I heard you from the other side of the village!"

"Look, Naruto, I..."

"No more fucking excuses! Everyone in the village heard you! Now they all know my secret!"

"Why'd you keep it a secret anyway?"

"Surely the old man told you. About the council, the villagers, Danzo..."

"Okay, I get it. Look, maybe I can make it up to you."

"How could you possibly make it up to me?"

"By teaching you to summon," Jiraiya said, making Naruto's face light up in excitement.

A few hours later...

"So, this is a summoning contract?" Naruto asked, looking at the large scroll placed before him.

"Yes, this is the contract for the toad summons." Jiraiya replied proudly.

"Hmmm...I don't want it."

"WHAT?"

"I don't particularly like frogs or toads, can ya give me something darker?"

"Uhh...this is the only one I have."

"Great."

"oH nArUTo, wHy dOn'T yOu taKe mY cOnTrAct, wItH iT yOu WiLl bE aBlE tO sUmMon pHySicAl mAniFeStAtiOns oF dArKnESs." The Darkness said from the back of Naruto's mind.

'Like what?'

"oH, mAnY tHiNgs. But ThErE wIlL bE tImE fOr ThaT lAtEr. nOw, jUst uSe mY pOwEr, AnD tHe CreEpIng DArK sHaLl gIvE yOu mY ScROll."Naruto tuned out of the mental connection and looked at the scroll on the ground. He shook his head, and manifested the Darkness, the now-familiar dark appendages sprouting from his shadowed form. One of the Creeping Dark moved its head forward and opened its mouth, revealing a black scroll with a yellow band around each end. Naruto took the scroll and opened it, biting his thumb as he did. He signed his name in the first slot, noticing that there were several other people's names on the scroll before his own. Jiraiya simply watched as the precious liquid spilled onto the rough surface of the scroll. Naruto then placed his blood soaked thumb on his other hand's open palm before making a few handsigns.

'Pig, Dog, Rooster, Monkey, Sheep...' Naruto thought, running through hand seals before slamming a palm down onto the ground. He yelled out the name of his jutsu before a cloud of smoke hid him from view.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

The smoke cloud dissipated, revealing Naruto with several creatures around him. A strange insect-like creature with four small black wings and a large mouth, similar to the Creeping Dark, flew around his head. A vaguely humanoid creature crouched on the ground, its grey snout sniffing the area. Another humanoid stood behind Naruto, its black form absorbing all light while its red eyes looked around lifelessly. The fourth and final creature seemingly had no form at all, it was just an shapeless mass of shadow which moved constantly, its yellow eyes staring at nothing. Naruto looked at his new summons, grinning as he took in their obviously inhuman forms.

"So, old man, how'd I do?" Naruto asked of the white-haired sannin, who was staring at the creatures with his jaw on the ground.

"Uhh...to be honest, I don't know..."

"Well that's no help. I want to know if I can actually summon now."

"Indeed you can," a deep voice said from behind him, "You have control of the darkness summoning contract and all its inhabitants, though some may be reluctant to serve. They have...issues with authority."

"Who said that?"

"Please, I know some people wouldn't be able to see me, but this is ridiculous. Look over here." The voice said. Naruto looked to the direction the voice was coming from to find the shapeless mass of shadow.

"You can talk?"

"Of course I can talk, all summons can. Well, most. Some can only speak in their own tongue rather than the human language, which is unhelpful a lot of the time. Anyway, I suppose you are the new head summoner, congratulations."

"Uhh, thanks...do you have a name?"

"Of course, it would be degrading otherwise. My name is Kurojigoku. The small grey one is Kyobou-na-hito, the red eyed shadow being is Akame and the insect is Kuriru. If there is no further need for our presence, we shall be taking our leave. Farewell, Summoner-sama," Kurojigoku said before he and his comrades disappeared as if they were never there.

"Well, I guess that's that. Now I have to try and find my way home without getting chased because someone let out my secret," Naruto said, glaring at Jiraiya.

"I said I was sorry."

Two weeks later...

Neru was sat on a rock, watching as a cloud of black swirled around in a circle, obscuring her love interest from view. Eventually she got bored watching the black cloud and shouted out to Naruto.

"Hey, Naruto, you done showing off yet? I'm getting kinda bored." As she said it, the cloud seemed to slow down, revealing glimpses of the black-clad boy in the centre.

"I'm not showing off, I'm practising with Kuriru!"

"Uh-huh, I say it's showing off."

"Gah, troublesome woman."

"You're turning into Shikamaru."

"I know. Anyway, what now? I have nothing left to do until the finals."

"I know a couple of things we could do..." Neru said, walking towards Naruto.

"Go cool off already. I'd rather not be raped right now."

"Dammit..."

"Hey, Naruto!" A voice shouted from the gate of the training ground.

"Haku? What are you doing here?"

"Am I not allowed to come and see you train?"

"Face it Frosty, you just wanted to see him with his shirt off," Neru said, sitting back on her rock while Haku blushed. "Although, who can blame you?"

"Please don't argue again, I'm really not in the mood."

"Aw, what's wrong, Naruto-kun? You need cheering up?"

"Once again, you need to cool off."

"Why won't you just..." Neru started but was cut off when a large explosion sounded from another training ground.

"SON OF A BITCH!"

"SON OF A BITCH!"

"MADRE DE DIOS!"

Chapter 10 is over! I hope those of you who suggested ideas for Naruto's summoning contract will be satisfied with the result. If not, then I guess you're reading the wrong story. Next chapter you'll find the cause of the explosion that made Naruto speak Spanish. Until next time, Adios!
