Some of the summons are smart enough to put actual characters to shame and speak no different than a regular person, so what's with the lack of human summons? Humans are hardly any different from beasts in Naruto. It'd be useful to summon the Hokage during a dangerous moment.

Because no one nitpicks things like you.

Animals can be used as "pets" or "servents", and the same applies in naruto/boruto.

A human summoning a human, via blood contract? Come on, now. But it's possible the animals can summon the humans(reverse summoning), as long as they have signed a contract with them. Humans need the animals, more than the animals need the humans, cause the human world is an "open" world, full of dangerous humans who also summon animals. It isn't the same.

Considering the circumstances, it should be this way.

Humans need humans more than humans need animals.

Because animals are more trained to go

They chill in their habitat and when they get summoned they can snap to the fight in an instant

Although I guess technically a Kage should be able to too, even so a jounin

Humans need humans more than humans need animals.

"Hey, billy, come here"..."Hey shantrice, come here!"...boom, that's it.

Or a phone call, a train, or space-time/teleportation jutsu...anything like that would be better, since they all live in the same dimension.

Humans have basic needs

Imagine you're taking a bath and then out of nowhere you get summoned into a battlefield

Yes, it'd totally be inconvenient for a human, since we wear clothes.

But I don't think that would stop them, though. However, summonings for "battle" purposes?You've to be joking.

Humans are inferior to massive exotic animals. I would rather summon a giant toad instead of a tiny human. Enma is the closest thing to a humanoid summoning. But he had extra attributes like the diamond staff. I can only imagine a human being useful if they have special abilities.

Summons should have been from another dimension, that would have explained why one canèt summon people from their own dimension.

Could be worked around by making the summoning technique act like a phone call, as in, the summonee can accept to be teleported or not. Would make a lot more sense.

So pretty much like the fate/ series but with the need to summon them every time you need to use it? I dunno, something about human summonings seems off in the nv. Edo tensei is probably the closest anything in the nv would get to human summons.... well... pain could summon the bodies he used for his 6 paths of pain so there’s that, but again, they’re dead

Well that will be cool but would really a human would want to be summon any time the master wants?

Dont think so. Besides, this is possible via FTG.
