I've been deliberating for days on how to approach this since this is the same one as the other one but with a slight variation like you said. One thing that I notice different off the bat is the range. The first one has more range but is limited to one pillar while this one is limited to short range but has several pillars. Approaching this like we do jutsu in our rp, the pillars all should equal D-Rank. Playing with words, it seems this one can be used by oneself as well on your opponent like the D-Rank earth pillar which if using at the right time, allows Gaara for more versatility. This is taking in account the fact that he can also use a sand cloud to travel on so the more options he has at his disposal the more effective fighter he becomes. The only drawback is it can't be used from mid range but that's what the other technique we just covered is for right?
To launch an attack while in the air, Gaara manipulates the sand he had prepared on the ground with his chakra. As quickly as he could, he created several small pillars that launched Gaara high into the air. He then bit his thumb, wiped his blood on his Duck tattoo, made the Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram handseals and then put his hands down together, creating a sealing formula then proceeds to summon a generic duck. Gaara jumps on the duck and flies towards his sensei's location and steadily lands next to him.

Rank: B

Damage points: N/A
Description: To summon the creature the ninja will wipe blood on his hand, perform the Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram handseals and then touch the ground or another object, where a sealing formula will appear. Though it appears that as long as significant pressure is placed against the blood in some form, the summon will be complete, most summoning uses use a solid surface, though in some cases it can even be done mid air. There can be variations to the summoning steps, some ninja like Temari will wipe blood on her fan, then by swinging the fan the animal is summoned. Other ninja like Orochimaru wipe the blood across a snake tattoo on their arm first, then touch the ground. Others will clap their hands directly like Nagato through the use of his Animal Path. The user must have signed the contract with the creature he wants to summon but the technique can be used to summon a generic creature of that contract (B-Rank) which will have no special traits or abilities beyond those normal to the rest of the animals in the contract. The animal is always summoned on the mark that appears upon slamming the users hand or, if not the case, always in short range of the user.
