Summonings
In NARUTO, ninja are able to summon animals to fight on their behalf. This is called the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu). To be able to summon these animals, ninja must sign a contract in blood with the species. Once done so, the ninja can summon that species of an animal to help them out. We have seen animals of different sizes and skill levels. This depends on the ninja calling the animal and their chakra levels. The quantity of will chakra used at the time of the invocation will determine which size and skilled will appear. A small quantity of will chakra will lead to the appearance of a small animal and a large quantity of will chakra will lead to a large and powerful animal appearing.
To summon the creature the ninja will often cut their hand (as a sacrafice), perform the necessary handseals and then touch their hand to the ground with some force. Once done so, the summoned animal appears. There can be variations to the summoning steps. Orochimaru, for example, wipes his blood across a snake tattoo on his arm first, and then touch the ground.
