TOAD SUMMONINGS

Toad Summonings

Currently we know of only three people who have signed a summoning contract and can call upon the toads in NARUTO. All three are from the Hidden Leaf Village and they include Jiraiya, the Fourth Hokage and Naruto. There are a few different types of toads. They are below.

Gamabunta the King of Toads
Gamabunta is truly the dream of all summoning ninja. His skill with the sword and knowledge of the world is not only powerful but essential. His great size and humorous behavior may take a while to get used to, but once you achieve the skill to summon him, you will be lifelong companions. Gamabunta will not fight anything that isn't a challenge, so calling him to a simple battle between a single shinobi will only result in angering or insulting him. He does however enjoy challenging fights against greater summons, and would prefer only to be called when in life threatening situations. Gamabunta was used by the Fourth Hokage and helped to defeat the Nine-tailed fox.

Gamasushi the Knight of Toads
Wielding two swords Gamasushi is known mostly as "Watch Tower Destroyer" and "Yataikusushi". He is the most skilled of second most powerful toad. 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. He first appeared in the attack on the Hidden Leaf Village by the Sand Village when Jiraiya used him to fight Orochimaru's large snakes that were destroying the village..

Gamatabi
He has great strength, but has not been seen in full battle yet. We only have seen him block Kisame's sword so that it would not hit Naruto when Itachi and Kisame were about to kidnap Naruto.

Traveling Toad
This toad is called The Traveling Toad because his summoner rides him place to place. His first appearance was when Jiraiya was riding on him by the some hot springs in one of the first episodes that Jiraiya appears in. Also, this is the only toad that we have seen that does not speak.

Gamakichi
Mostly a companion and a friend, Gamakichi is the 'talkative' toad of the group. He's smart-lipped and often has an opinion. His father is the King of all Toads, Gamabunta. A summoner cannot get anywhere with the Toads unless Gamakicihi approves of him first. With the approval of Gamakichi comes the approval of Gamabunta. He is the first real toad Naruto summons and appears often when Naruto makes a mistake in his summoning jutsu.

Gamatatsu
This chubby little frog is more or less for company and nothing else. He eats more then he should be able to take in and is often a whiner. Although cute, Gamatasu is good for nothing more then a laugh. He is the toad Jiraiya accidentally summons during his tag-team battle between Orochimaru and Kabuto with Tsunade and Naruto.

A Toad's Stomach
Jiraiya has the ability to call upon the stomach of a toad. When Jiraiya does this, it turns the surrounding area into the stomach of a toad to be used as a type of prison which imprisons its enemies and than slowly digests them. Before Itachi, no one had ever broken out of this jutsu.
