A powerful jutsu,
Ninpo Kuchiyose allows a ninja to summon animals, objects and the dead
to fight on their behalf. The ninja normally signs a blood contract with
the animal species, which allows them to summon different size and skill
levels of creature. The ability to summon more advanced animals largely
depends upon the amount of chakra the ninja can muster to perform the
jutsu. By signing this contract, the creatures themselves can also
reverse summon the contract signer to their location.
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.
Most summons (if not all) appear to have their own "king" or "boss" that
rules over their own kind. For example: to the Toads there is Gamabunta,
for the Snakes there is Manda, for the Slugs there is Katsuyu and for
the monkeys there is Enma.
It would that seem that once someone has signed the summoning contract,
the animal of the contract can also summon the human, as seen with
Gamakichi summoning Naruto to the toad mountain.
Specially prepared scrolls are used for any weapon summons or a variety
of articles, such as puppets. Kankuro, Tenten and Kotetsu Hagane use
this version of the technique.

Animal Summons
Gamachu
Is the first toad named in the series. Gamachu is a mid-level toad that
first appears when Jiraiya is introduced. Gamachu is always seen wearing
samurai armor in battle. When he first appeared in the manga, Gamachu
seems to strike the same type of pose as Jiraiya, as he would also seem
to have become the personal summon of Jiraiya.
This toad seems to be the keeper of the Toad Summoning contract scroll
and unlike every other toad ever seen, Gamachu has not yet been seen
talking, only quaking once or twice and mainly in the anime. In terms of
appearance, the kanji on the necklace around his neck means "friendship,"
perhaps alluding to the fact that Jiraiya summons
him in more relaxed situations.
Gamasushi-Demolisher Toad
This gigantic toad is one of the summons of Jiraiya.
is the most skilled of the second most powerful toad, and wielding two
large katanas, he is known mostly as "Watch Tower Destroyer" and "Yataikusushi".
He can wield some powerful skills, but his true talent is in swordplay.
He speaks but only when not in combat, when he does fight, he typically
doesn't say a word. Gamasushi is most known for battling alongside his
summoner,
with great skill and execution.
Elder
Sage Toad (Ogama Sennin)
This giant toad was the leader of the toads approximately 30 years
previously. He held the ability to forsee the future and gave Jiraiya
one of his prophecies. Due to his old age, it is unknown if he is still
alive.
Gamabunta
Is the boss of the toads that are summoned. He is huge (about 100 meters
high) and is summoned for battles with the biggest of enemies. His sons
are Gamakichi and Gamatatsu. Naruto can only summon him with the Nine-Tailed
Demon Fox's chakra. Without it,
Naruto can only call upon some of Gamabunta's smallest children.
Gamabunta was first seen in the premiere of the series, where he and the
Fourth Hokage face off against the demon fox.
Gamaken
This giant toad is one of Jiraiya's battle companions. Gamaken wields a
large forked weapon and shield. Though he considers himself slow of mind,
his size and power allows him to stand toe to toe with many large
summons.
He was summoned by Jiraiya during his fight with Pain and seems to be
wearing the same robe as Gamabunta.
Gamakichi
This toad is the personal summon of Naruto and Jiraiya, one of Gamabunta's
children. He was first summoned by Naruto Uzumaki because Naruto couldn't
focus his chakra during the beginning of the battle with Gaara. However,
he is intelligent enough to be aware of the situation around him and
realize when it's time to flee.
Gamatatsu
This toad is the younger brother of Gamakichi.
Gerotora - Key Toad
This toad watches over the scroll which acts as the "key" to the Hakke
Fuuin on Naruto's stomach. Jiraiya eventually left the scroll to Naruto.
Shima
and Fukasaku - Toad Sennins
Better known as Ma and Pa are two Toad Elders that taught Jiraiya
Senjutsu in his youth.
These two toad sennin, Shima and Fukasaku, acted as advisors to the
elder toad sage. They had the ability to combine with Jiraiya to enter
his "Sennin" mode. This mode changed Jiraiya's form and allowed him to
access natural energy. This form also allowed him to utilize Fukasaku
and Shima's jutsu.
Kamatari
This animal is the personal summon of the Sand ninja Temari. To summon
the creature, Temari wipes blood on her fan and then does her Kirkirimai
(Whirl) technique. After she swings her fan the itachi (weasel) is
summoned with a huge scythe as well as several other small kama (sickles).
The result is a huge swath of destruction. Other than Naruto, Temari is
the only Genin so far who has been shown to possess the needed chakra to
summon a creature.
Katsuyu
This slug is the personal summon of Tsunade and she is the head of all
slugs.
Compared to Gamabunta and Manda, the summons of Jiraiya and Orochimaru,
respectively, Katsuyu is quiet and more subservient to her master. She
addresses Tsunade as Mistress, or Lady.
Kidoumaru's Giant Spider
This giant spider is the personal summon of the Sound ninja Kidoumaru.
Kyodaija
Are giant snakes, often summoned by Orochimaru during battle. There are
many different kinds of Kyodaija. For instance, the Kyodaija that was
summoned during the invasion of Konoha had marks on its skin similar to
the Cursed Seal of Heaven, while the ones summoned by Orochimaru in the
Forest of Death had no such marks. Anko Mitarashi also summoned a blue-colored
snake of similar size.
Manda
This snake is the personal summon of Orochimaru and he is the head of
all snakes.
Three
- Headed Snake
This three headed snake was summoned by Hidden Sand ninja.
Monkey King Enma
This monkey is the personal summon of the Third Hokage and he is the
head of all monkeys.
As he is a longtime companion to Hiruzen, it is implied that he too is
rather old. He possesses great physical strength and fighting ability,
as seen when he fights off both Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, and
Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage.
