Udon's entire first week of training consisted of games and tests to challenge Udon's mind. Udon eventually became bored with this sort of trainin by the second week. "Is this the only training we're going to do?" Udon asked. "No. I was just about to ask you where you stand with normal ninjutsu. Do you know any ninjutsu techniques?" Daikoku asked. Udon thought and almost said no. "Oh yeah!" Udon said, suddenly remembering. "Summoning Jutsu!" Udon said. Udon bit his thumb and performed the correct hand signs and slapped his hand on the ground. There was a puff of smoke and a large, black, man-sized owl appeared. "Whoa! I've never seen that summoning. Where did you learn that?" Daikoku asked. "When I was in the Desert Basin." Udon said. "What happened?" Daikoku asked. And Udon began to tell him.
"While I was in the Desert Basin, my team and I came to a cliff. When I peered over the cliff, I couldn't see the ground. To test how far from the top the ground was, I threw a large rock down from the cliff. After waiting for a few minutes, my team decide that we needed to get going. I was slow to get up, but when I did the cliff face gave away and I had no chance to move. I fell for several meters before something caught me. I didn't know who or what it was at the moment because I became unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself surrounded by owls of all sizes. They were actually intending to eat me, but this owl next to me, who I later found out had also saved me from my fall, came to my defense. Apparently, they had only ever met one human, and had no intention of seeing another because they were afraid they would be hunted. Then, an elder owl came through and scolded this owl who had saved my life twice about bringing a human into their valley. I then jumped to his defense and all the owls gasped. The same owl who said that they should eat me stepped foward and was screaming at me about interrupting the elder. He then started trying to kill me, but of course I wasn't about to let him just kill me. I took off running through this valley while I was chased by a humongous owl. The elder owl began to laugh seeming to find comedy in our chase. Maybe I was screaming and just didn't know it. But the elder then began to choke. All of the other owls including the one chasing me stopped to try and help the elder. I walked over to the crowd and pushed my way through to the elder. I got behind him and slapped his back and made him cough up whatever it was choking him. All of the owls cheered and the elder thanked me. As thanks to me they pulled out a large summoning contract. The only name and handprint on it was that of the First Kazekage. So I signed the contract with the owls and now I can summon them." Udon said finishing his story.
"That is really impressive." Daikoku said, intrigued. "Do you know any other ninjutsu techniques?" Daikoku asked. "I don't think he does." The owl answered with a smile. "But, I do." The owl continued. "This second week we will focus on the collaboration between you and your summonings." Daikoku said. "How are we going to do that?" Udon asked. "By sparring." Daikoku replied with a smile. "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Daikoku exclaimed. A giant fireball was shot toward the owl and Udon. Udon ran out of the way and the owl flew toward the sky. "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Daikoku said. Several smaller fireballs were fired at Udon, but the owl swooped down and rescued him from the attack. "Suterusu, swing back around and fly toward Daikoku." Udon said from the owls back. "Right." Suterusu said. Just as Udon said, they flew back around to attack Daikoku. "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" Daikoku said. A violent gale of wind repelled Suterusu's attack causing him to disappear in a puff of smoke. "Not quite, but you're getting there." Daikoku said with a laugh. "I don't know what else I could have done." Udon said. "You should've come up with a strategy." Daikoku said. "I've never strategized that much. Konohamaru usually comes up with attack formations and stuff like that. I stick to the numbers." Udon said, seeming upset. Daikoku thought about this problem for a second then came up with an idea. "Well, if there's one thing I've learned the past week, it's that you are great with numbers. So just think of a strategy like an equation. All the things that could happen are variables and the end product is what you want to happen." Daikoku said. This seemed to make total sense to Udon as he instantly got back on his feet. "Let's do this." Udon said with confidence.
By the sixth day of this type of training, Udon had become a strategizing phenom. It came to the point that Daikoku couldn't execute an attack. "One more time, Udon?" Daikoku asked with a smile. "Yeah! Summoning Jutsu!" Udon said. Udon had perfected the technique now. He knew exactly the amount of chakra needed to summon the type and number of owls he needed. This time he summoned a smaller owl, about the size of his head named Tezema. He had grown fond of this one, even giving it his goggles. "Let's do this!" Tezema said, stealing Udon's battle phrase. Udon ran toward Daikoku and Tezema flew upward out of sight. "Water Style: Violent Water Wave!" Daikoku called. A stream of water flowed out of Daikoku's mouth toward Udon. Udon moved out of the way of the attack and threw three shuriken at Daikoku. "Fire Style: Owl Pellets!" Tezema called from above. As Daikoku tried to dodge Udon's shuriken, explosive owl pellets came from above. These caused explosions all around Daikoku sending him flying. Tezema and Udon were about to attack again, but Daikoku waved them off. "Good job, Udon." Daikoku said breathing heavily. "Tezema is my second favorite summon, next to Suteresu." Udon said when Tezema disappeared. "He's small, but he packs a punch." Daikoku laughed. "Now, where do you stand with taijutsu?" Daikoku asked, brushing himself off. Udon remained quiet as he knew that taijutsu was his weak point. "I see. After tomorrow, we'll work on your taijutsu." Daikoku said. Udon nodded and they took a break.
