Most useful summon to exist

[Dantee]

Manda v2/Thread.

 

[Slug Princess Tsunade]

Katsuyu is the most useful summon.

 

[Chatte]

She can survive cuts but slugs are generally weak to fire, that's why I believe she can't survive a powerful fire jutsu. With that being said, Katsuyu is a very useful summoning indeed, not sure if she's the most useful one though.

Mmm, I don't think that to be honest
She took Naruto's corrosive chakra which acted like a poison + burning, up to 8 ongoing 9 tails, while in Chibaku Tensei, so I don't think fire jutsus would have the slightest effect on her.

And about Manda vs. Katsuyu, it only showed that Manda has nothing on Katsuyu as he only relies on coiling its target, thing that cannot be done to Katsuyu.

Well, if we look at it again, she was inside Naruto's clothes, and his clothes didn't show any sign of burns, nor did his skin.

If you have another panel of her surviving actual fire then I'll believe you. But as of now, my point stands, since Kishimoto usually applies real life biology in his manga.

 

[Izuna Kakashi Senju]

Hiruzen's Enma was a useful summon.

 

[Senpai1507]

Most usefull summon....hmmmm...nothing crazy is on my mind now,I'll go with katsuyu.

He kinda doesn't apply real life biology all the time.
His clothes were unharmed back in the 4 tails transformation where he showed his skin being ripped to shreds (something like that).
And back then, that chakra acted like a burning factor.
I am going to try finding the panels.
Also Sakura comments something of the feeling of that chakra as Naruto turns in tailed form.

 

[Rayder]

Pretty much. Katsuyu definitely has the most uses out of combat but I think there are a few summons that can beat her in combat.

Doesn't Naruto's early Bijuu transformation acts as a chakra shroud surrounding his body/clothes? If so then that explains it.
And yes, Kishimoto applies real life elements in his manga, not always, but you could say usually.

So as we can see, it burns and acts as a poison.
But the clothes are ok.
And this was the 4th tail, imagine that up to the 9th was even more damageable.

 

[Fanta]

One thing I don't get. Why do people only take fighting into consideration when saying whether something is useful or not.

Summons are used to support you and give you a boost.

Katsuyu is the best support summon. I think this was proved during the Pain arc where she was able to heal people all at the same time as well as relay details to Naruto on how to defeat Pain and also relay details to k11 on how Naruto was doing.

She is the best summon.. Ma and Pa got stomped by Pain.

When Naruto went into 8 tails it didn't do shit to Katsuyu. She literally can't die. Not to mention she protected and saved people from Pains shrina tensei

I already know that when he transformed to 4-tails his skin was completely messed up, but that didn't happen when he transformed to 6-tails, even when he went back to human form, his skin was completely fine, so it's natural to think that there was some kind of protection surrounding his body to protect him from the burning chakra shroud. And his clothes being unburned makes it a twist for the reader. Don't you think that something that can burn a giant snake can't burn through a tiny slug is utter nonsense? Despite snakes having a much more durable skin than slugs? Kishimoto sure puts some illogical things in his manga if you ask me.

Well this is where the thing is. Kishi inspired the Slug>Snake thing from the folklore although in real life is Snake>Slug.
So in the manga he potrayed Katsuyu as the most resistant animal summon.
Something similar to how Tsunade is in Byakugou mode.
Madara's fire technique did nothing to her.

 

[thegame]

The Kuybi is a pretty useful summon too, at least it would oblirate Katsuyu U_U

Of the more legit, I think Emna is very useful too. Would love to see him and Hiru at their strongest, they'd probably be boss.

Tbh, I will say this. You cannot define one summon to be more useful than another. It all depends on the summoner. Whoever makes the best pair with his summon, is probably the one that has the more useful summon U_U

 

[lsgteam]

depends on ur enemy, against a bijuu Hashis wood dragon is pretty useful.

I'm still unsure about this slugs>snakes thing in Naruto. As far as I know the only slug summon shown so far is Katsuyu, and putting her against the strongest snake summon; Manda II is a crime, but let's not get into this.
Byakugou heals any damage dealt to the user as long as they have enough chakra, so it's understandable. But a tiny Katsuyu surviving Naruto's burning chakra shroud is something beyond me, honestly. I may look further into it later.
BTW, Cerberus was shown to be quite durable, so they can share the same tittle as the most durable summons.

Yeah, that is a technique, however, Katsuyu's body is by itself like that, no Byakugou needed.
She also can resist being ripped to shreds just fine.
In the folklore, the Slug>Snake thing is based on the fact that the Slug can melt the snake with its acid as it was shown that it can melt rock with ease, so that's probably how it goes.
Manda was shown to coil around its target or try to swallow it.
That's why I said that Kishi doesn't respect all the natural ways in the manga.
Hell, Tsunade should be naked from the last fire she took from Madara. xd

Hmm, the Cerberus... have to see him again, can't remember well.
It was the multi-headed one?

 

[Memoria]

Yup, Nagato's dog, that's its name. Nagato literally stated that it can't be killed without defeating the user, so that's something.

Yeah, indeed it is.
The thing with it is that it can't be defeated by physical attacks probably. I wonder what happens for example with attacks that would cover its entire body, something like a big big fire or Jinton...

It would survive any fire jutsu other than Amaterasu. Not sure about Jinton though, if it covered all of its body then it would most likely kill it. But then again, not even Susanoo could survive Jinton...
