Slugs come in two varieties in the real world that I know of, terrestrial and sea. Either way, both are considered gastropods in the same overarching family as snails and mollusks. Some are able to produce various toxic substances and secretions stored in their body and released through nearly microscopic glands. These can include substances such as viscous mucous or even for the sea slug species notaspidean pleurobranchs a compound similar to sulfuric acid in its toxicity and defensive nature. To consume food they use their
Similar to their more developed relatives, the cephalopods, terrestrial slugs, and snails, such as Helix pomatia, slugs possess a highly developed sense of sight. Their eyes take the form of two retractable, light-sensitive optical tentacles allowing them to independently gaze at their surroundings. The optical tentacles are also used for smell. They are everse, developed by the body wall shaping like a bowl or later like a cup. The light-sensitive cells evolved from the former body wall cells, and are therefore pointing towards the light falling in from outside.
One very cool property of sea slugs, primarily the Aeolid cnidosac is the ability to repurpose cells from another creature. They take these cells called cnidosac from the species that it feeds upon adding them to their own body.
In the narutoverse and our rp Katsuyu is the only slug we've seen and she's shown a lot of the abilities I mentioned above from their real-world counterparts. However, she's shown abilities from both terrestrial and sea slugs. Including mucous production, acid production, regeneration, as well as other abilities like splitting her form and metal communication even if the last two aren't abilities from the real world. Slugs are summoned from Shikkotsu Forest and recently have had a Sage Mode added for them just like the rest of the canon summons.
I plan on playing heavily upon the acid producing and mucous producing abilities of the slug and then compounding their usefulness with both Salamanders, poison and the Naturalist Summoning specialty. This should allow for poison to become acidic in nature, and having it finally overcome the one neutrality/weakness I've had trouble with Earth Release.

. In nature a sea slug can survive being cut in half, or damaged as long as the pericardial portions of the body are intact allowing it to regrow from significant damage. Slug senses rely heavily on tactile sensations and they have a very good sense of position thus allowing their foot, the term for their main body mass to move their body in various ways gliding across surfaces and allowing them to stick to various surfaces increasing their mobility.

are stinging cells most recognizable in the Box Jellyfish. This shows that slugs are very adaptable able to basically take in and repurpose cells they themselves are unable to create. Another example of this ability is the Lettuce Sea Slug, Elysia crispata. This slug, like other Sacoglossa, uses kleptoplasty, a process in which the slug absorbs chloroplasts from the algae it eats and uses these "stolen" cells to photosynthesize sugars. The ruffles of the lettuce sea slug increase the slug's surface area, allowing the cells to absorb more light. The largest variety of sea slug colloquially called a sea hare has a species the California black sea hare, Aplysia vaccaria that can grow to be as large as two and a half feet and weigh up to thirty pounds which is a massive size in comparison to their smaller brethren. Most sea hares have several defenses; in addition to being naturally toxic, they can eject a foul ink or secrete a viscous slime to deter predators.

Very comprehensive. Have you ever tried becoming a sensei?
I like what you plan to do with slug though I dunno if combining two summonings together like that would be allowed considering the fact that only one can be summoned in a battle. Am I getting something wrong?
Nonetheless excellent work.
You said it all. Now you sign the contract. You just have to sign in blood over the contract scroll before you then we'll begin the summoning process.

Thanks and I did years ago, I passed the written test but failed the battle test and never had the drive or ambition to try again. I've always been bad at battling honestly and work best with storytelling and non-battle related RP, theory-crafting and custom making. It's what I have fun with so it's what I stick to. The

allow us to now bypass that restriction should we choose to build the proper specialty array, allowing us to summon from both contracts and have two personal summons. The ones I plan on going for include Personal Summoning Specialist, Naturalist Summoning Specialist, and Apex Summoning Specialist. What this means is I'll be able to use both of my contracts in battles, as well as produce the substances my summoning creatures can naturally produce and use their innate skills. Poison for Salamanders, which is my bread and butter and will allow me to access various types of salamander poison, for example, Samandarin or tetrodotoxin and mucous or Acid for Slugs which I see a variety of uses for compounding it upon poison or liquid-based ninjutsu. On top of that, I'd be able to have two personal summons which will be useful in WSE for travel, and in battles for overwhelming an opponent.*Bites thumb, draws blood and signs name.*

I love that update. Although Naturalist summoning specialist is a rip of a passive sealing technique of mine. I am able to passively summon infinite amount of substances from the summonings I have contract with, without spending a move. Could make way for choosing another speciality.
I would work on choosing the Personal and Apex one in my next updates.
Okay for the next thing. I want you to use the blood, swipe it across your palm and make the summoning handseals. Gather chakra and slam your palms on the ground to summon Katsuyu.
Then tell me about her and her abilities.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Katsuyu) Summoning Technique: Katsuyu
Type:*Supplementary
Rank:*B/S
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.

*Smears blood on my palm, performs the hand seals and summons Katsuyu.*
Katsuyu is good when used by a Tsunade or Sakura bio. Other than that she comes off as rather average. She can split her form allowing for one large summon or several small summons to be formed. This makes her all but immune to blunt damage like taijutsu and weapon ninjutsu. She is able to spit acid through Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid, allowing her to compound upon techniques used by the summoner or to cause her own damage. She can communicate telepathically which can be useful. These rest is only for Tsunade or Sakura bios. She can act as a conduit for the White Strength Seal transmitting healing chakra healing a vast amount of people.

Kay now I want you to disperse the big Katsuyu and summon a smaller Katsuyu.
then let's see the acid spit.
Namekuji Ninpou: Zesshi Nensan) Slug Arts: Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid
Type: Offensive
Rank:*B/S
Range:*Short-Long
Chakra:*20/40
Damage:*40/80 (+20 per turn)
Description:*Katsuyu inhales and exhales an acidic stream of mucus, that is both fast and large, covering a very wide area (proportionate to Katsuyu's size). The thick acid attaches itself to whatever it hits and starts melting it. Strong against Earth and most metals/solids, its also very good against fire as it can't be ignited. During a given amount of time, the acid will keep melting through the target, dealing damage to it as time goes by until its completely depleted of its acidic properties (keeps active for 3 turns). Katsuyu's clones can also use this technique, but to a lesser extent and range (B-Rank, mid-range).
Note: can only be used by Katsuyu

Strong to earth, metals, solids and fire. Since it doesn't state I'm guessing its neutral to everything else. Scientifically it should be weak to water and liquids as they could dilute the acid as long as the acid is being added to the water or liquid. But the technique doesn't mention a weakness to water so thats just me as I see it and not how its written.
