Hello teacher. 
Well to start off and make this efficient, I'll explain what Slugs are and all that jazz first. I'd also like to do something different and see if you are okay with it. If not we can always start over.
Slugs are known as nocturnal, tough-skinned, terrestrial mollusks. They lack a protective shell like snails and are probably more repulsive but they are quite interesting. They secrete a type of mucous we call "slime" that allows them to travel and use for various purposes. They are thrivers, able to survive in harsh conditions and have a voracious appetite when it comes to eating crops. They are susceptible to wind however, losing half their weight a day from evaporation. They are also highly susceptible to salt as it evaporates them by a process called osmosis.
The part of their anatomy which raises interest for me is their feelers. They can retract if needed, smell, are sensitive to light, and if cut, can be regrown. Now tell me that isn't interesting. Let's not speak of them being a hermaphrodite and how they...reproduce. That shit is nasty af. >_>
Anyways, according to our rp, the only slug we were introduced to was Katsuyu, Tsunade's personal summon which she passed on to Sakura. Katsuyu comes from the famed Shikkotsu Forest which is the slug counterpart to Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave. Katsuyu is able to divide itself into smaller versions of itself with the added ability of being linked to one another and being able to transfer chakra from its user to others. It can also spit acid which is considered an exaggeration of real-life slugs' ability to regurgitate digestive acids in self-defense.
Before I begin with the techniques, let me begin by signing the contract.
I pretend you take out a scroll and show me a place to sign. I bite my thumb and smear it with my blood. I then write my name on the list and viola! Contract signed!
Next, I would assume you have me start summoning generic slugs especially those of varying sizes until you feel I am ready for the main summon.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu) - Summoning Technique
Now onto the techniques...
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Katsuyu) Summoning Technique: Katsuyu
I'm surprised that as a slug summon she is able to move fast. Most slugs move at the speed of...an old person driving a car. Hue hue hue.
It says she is immune to taijutsu but upon closer observation, it's only because she divides herself upon contact, negating the damage but I would assume that she isn't immune to the effects it can cause such elementally-enhanced techniques like say a punch that carries the effects of fire or an lightning punch. Through this division and it's ability of being linked to one another, you can transfer chakra to others and if using a Tsunade bio, can heal others by transferring the chakra from her white strength seal. Unlike shadow clones, Katsuyu's division ability doesn't disperse all of them if just one is attacked or at least that is how the technique makes it appear as.
An interesting to note is that it can help stabilize the injured by either attaching itself to them or by swallowing them whole. Apparently you don't suffocate in there. >_> This healing aspect was shown when Tsunade was bisected as a result from an attack by Madara that happened offpanel. This healing ability can prevent blood loss which can be a life saver if used correctly.
This line is contradictory to the note you have at the bottom:
Also, it is my understanding that Katsuyu's chakra transfer and healing capabilities are not as effective as Tsunade or Sakura can perform them personally.
I don't know if I mentioned or not but Katsuyu comes in two parts that can only be summoned once:
OOC: Isn't it weird that Shizune, being Tsunade's prized apprentice aside from Sakura, can't or wasn't shown to summon slugs?

(Kuchiyose no Jutsu) - Summoning Technique
Rank: B
Type: Defense/Attack/Suplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 20
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.

(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Katsuyu) Summoning Technique: Katsuyu
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank/S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 20/40
Damage: N/A
Description: Katsuyu is a large slug, slightly bigger and bulkier than Gamabunta and Manda, that serves as Tsunade's personal summon. She has a very respectable demeanor, using honorifics when addressing other ninjas, regardless of friend or foe, and referring to Tsunade as "Princess". Her abilities seem to complement perfectly Tsunade's own abilities and she acts as a perfect companion for her summoner. She is a fast moving summon, whose main offensive abilities are her own body and her ability to spit acid at her enemies (like through the use of (Zesshi Nensan) Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid)). Apparently, the amount of chakra used to summon Katsuyu determines the size of the body that is summoned. This is related to her unique ability which enables her to split and divide herself apparently without limit, into thousands of clones. The more clones she divides into, the smaller they are. This actually acts as a very unique and powerful defense mechanism, since when facing a powerful physical attack, Katsuyu can simply burst into thousands of smaller slugs and gather herself nearby. Through the use of this mechanism, Katsuyu is effectively immune to physical damage such as Taijutsu inflicted ones or Weapon inflicted ones. As such, the user can summon a small clone or the entire Katsuyu in her full size. Linked to this ability to produce an infinite amount of small clones, is Katsuyu's ability to channel chakra through long distances amongst her clones. Unlike other clone techniques, Katsuyu's clones are physical, biological clones, divided and produced from her own cells. They are linked to each other and act as the same being, even when separated by great distances. This enables them to communicate to each other and to transmit chakra to each other. The clone attaches itself to the summoner while another clone attaches itself to an ally. Through this attachment, chakra can be transmuted from the summoner to the ally to, for example, power a technique that the ally is about to use. A variation of this chakra transmission is the ability that Katsuyu has to channel the healing chakra from the White Strength Seal's abilities. Through this use, the user can fastly heal multiple allies, as long as there is a clone attached to her and the allies. Katsuyu herself also seems to possess the ability to heal injuries on others by encasing them in her clones or inside her. While inside, the target heals slowly, 20 points per turn, if not aided by other techniques. It can, however, effectively be used to keep someone who is on the brink of death, stable. As a chakra transmitter by nature, Katsuyu can also use her own body to stabilize injuries. She will use clones or herself directly on the wound, transmitting chakra to the surrounding tissues and healing 5 points per turn, just enough to prevent death from blood loss or to maintain an amputated body part viable to be attached later.
Note: requires signing the Slug Contract and requires a Tsunade or Sakura bio to use the healing related techniques.
Note: The main Katsuyu can only be summoned once.
Note: Clones can vary in size but cannot use the chakra transfer or the White Seals related abilities and only one can be asummoned at a time. They can, however, use the basic abilities of the slug, such as the Acid techniques and the stabilization of wounds.

This line is contradictory to the note you have at the bottom:
So I ask, can the clones transfer chakra and/or healing chakra or not even with a Tsunade bio with medical training?
Also, it is my understanding that Katsuyu's chakra transfer and healing capabilities are not as effective as Tsunade or Sakura can perform them personally.
I don't know if I mentioned or not but Katsuyu comes in two parts that can only be summoned once:
- B-Rank Version: Small version, can shoot acid up to mid-range, cant use chakra transfer or healing abilities outside of stabiizing wounds.
- S-Rank Version: Full Size version, can shoot acid up to long range, can use chakra transfer and/or healing abilities mentioned in the description.
If you approve, then after your critique we can start on the remaining techniques.
OOC: Isn't it weird that Shizune, being Tsunade's prized apprentice aside from Sakura, can't or wasn't shown to summon slugs?
