Description: The user performs the Summoning Jutsu, either through Hand Seals, their Summoning Tattoo or their Summoning Scroll to summon one of the Lords of the Pack. Just like with the Maned Wolf Summoning Technique, "Law of the Jungle", the Summons known as the Lords of the Pack are not composed of pre-designated animals like traditional Summoning Jutsu. Instead the Summoning Jutsu for the Lords of the Pack encompasses a large quantity of M. Wolves, each with their own distinct appearances, personalities, attire, tools, weaponry, etc. This makes describing the Summons that fall under this Jutsu practically impossible, as there are simply too many Summons to describe, however, they generally share similar physical characteristics of other animals from the Contract. Unlike the Law of the Jungle technique however, the Lords of the Pack do not allow, or require, the Summoning of multiple animals under the same technique. To put it in perspective, if the Law of the Jungle Summoning Technique is representative of the "Strength of the Pack", then the Lords of the Pack would be considered the embodiment of the "Strength of the Wolf" that each individual Maned Wolf of the Pack may one day possess. Another factor that deviates this technique from it's sibling technique is that the Lords of the Pack are considerably larger than the generic Summons of the Contract, ranging from several meters higher than a human being, to sizes that rival a colossal summon, like Gamabunta.
Just like with the Pack, the Lords of the Pack don't have a level of skill or proficiency with any form of Jutsu or affinity for a Chakra Nature, instead these M. Wolves evolved with one single ability, which is the ability to adapt to other Elemental Natures. They developed this ability by studying the characteristics of the paper Shinobi use to assess one's Chakra Nature, a.k.a Litmus Paper.
Survival of the Fittest: As briefly stated above, the Lords of the Pack have a similar ability to the Summons in the "Law of the Jungle" Summoning Technique, allowing themselves to naturally "adapt" to Chakra Natures. This makes them "Jacks of all Trades" in a sense, as they can adapt to just about every Elemental Chakra Nature, including the Basic 5 and KG Elements (Obviously this excludes KG that don't include the 5 Basic Elements in their creation, meaning KG like the Kaguya's Shikotsumyaku are not applicable). This is achieved through a special form of Chakra "absorption" that the M. Wolves naturally undergo when they come into contact with a Chakra Nature. In other words, it's an involuntary reaction that occurs when the Summon comes into Contact with a Chakra Nature, and not the ability to "steal" Chakra, meaning that the Summons have no real control over the Chakra they "absorb".
This ability can be used to adapt to Chakra Natures in one of two ways, each with their own advantages and disadvantages to their usage. The first is for the M. Wolf to be directly influenced by the users own Chakra. By simply gathering Elemental Chakra, and channelling/ kneading it into the designated Summon without giving it shape or form, the user directly influences the nature the M. Wolf will adapt to. This method costs 10 Chakra to perform, due to their larger size than the Summons from "Law of the Jungle", but doesn't cost one of the users 3 moves per turn. The second, and more difficult method of the two, is the "absorption" of external Chakra sources, such as the kind provided by an opponent's incoming Jutsu. The M. Wolves of this Summoning can act like "shields" of sorts, taking an incoming Jutsu and using the Chakra that Jutsu is composed of (thus effectively countering/ absorbing the Jutsu) to initiate their ability. This method can only be used on Jutsu A-Rank and below, otherwise the M. Wolf is overpowered, and the Summoning Jutsu is undone.
With all of these methods at their disposal, the users control over the Nature the M. Wolves of this Summoning Jutsu adapt to is highly customizable, granting an unprecedented level of control over multiple Elements in battle.
Note: Remains on the field for up to 4 turns.
Note: The user can only Summon one M. Wolf via this Jutsu.
Note: Due to their Rank, these M. Wolves can use Jutsu S-Rank and below for the Elemental Nature's they adapt to.
Note: If a M. Wolf summoned by this technique doesn't adapt to another Nature, they can perform either basic Ninjutsu or Kenjutsu of any Rank, should they possess an appropriate weapon.
Note: Any M. Wolf summoned by this technique can change their Chakra Nature a max of twice per battle.
Note: Any M. Wolf summoned by this technique doesn't retain the Chakra Nature they adapt to, and return to normal when their Summoning time runs out.
Note: Any M. Wolf summoned by this technique cannot be used to copy Elements or Chakra Nature's that fall outside the canon Narutoverse, such as CE's, CC Jutsu, etc.
Note: Summons who adapt to a KG Nature cannot use the Basic Elements that KG Nature is composed of as well, only the Nature the M. Wolf adapts to.
Note: User cannot perform any other Summoning for the duration of this Summoning Jutsu, an an additional 2 turns after this Summoning's timer runs out.
Note: Requires Maned Wolf Summoning Contract, and biographies that specialize in the M. Wolf CSC can use this Summon one additional time per battle.
