Huncho Houdinii, show me the way.

 

[Houdinii]

Yo sorry for the wait, tell me what you know of snakes both within the real world and within the Narutoverse

 

[Superlative]

Honestly I don't know much. Real world-wise, I know that they're reptiles and that besides their vision, they use infrared receptors in their nose to perceive their surroundings. Likewise, they smell with their tongues, flicking them to pick up airborne particles to track prey. I also know that some snakes have a venomous bite, allowing them to immobile or kill prey.

Naruto-verse wise, I know that snakes carry all the same qualities as their real world counter parts. However, in Naruto, snakes have been seen to come in multiple sizes to be used for a variety of purposes. Some snakes are large enough to destroy buildings while others are small enough to hide within one's clothing. Orochimaru was seen to go as far as fusing with Snakes and taking on some of their characteristics with his Power of the White Snake.

It also seems that Snakes have some relation to dragons in Naruto. Kabuto and Orochimaru both refer to themselves as ascending from a snake into a dragon at different points in the story. Just as the toads are, Snakes have been revealed to be knowledgeable about Sage Mode. User's who master the Snake's variant of Sage Mode take on a few different abilities and characteristics than others, besides the general power-ups granted to all Sages.

And that's about it.

Thats enough for now, lets get to signin'

*Flicks my wrist to unravel a scroll which reveals many names, with a few empty slots near the end.*

Go ahead and sign with your blood.

 

[Superlative]

*As you unravel the scroll, I heed your instructions, bite my thumb to draw blood, and sign the name "Lewd" in blood on the Snake contract.*

"Haha, Lewd. I watch too much anime."

 

[Houdinii]

Lewdy Sage doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Anyways now that you have signed an accord with the serpents you should be able to call one here, draw some blood and use a little bit of chakra. Focus your mind on the image of a small average snake and lets see what you got.

 

[Superlative]

"Haha, no relation to the Pervy Sage."

*Before anything else, I begin by closing my eyes and visualizing a snake in my mind, all while molding chakra. In my mind, I imagine a relatively small serpent, just large enough to rest on my shoulders, around my neck like a scarf. Once I've got the image firmly in my mind, I open my eyes, bite my right thumb to draw blood, and slam my palm on the ground. As I do this, I release all of my gathered chakra to call forth a snake. In a poof of smoke, a snake appears exactly as I imagined it!*

Well done, now that you have established the connection with the snakes we can begin introducing you to the warriors of their race.

Follow the same process however use a more decent amount of chakra this time. Form in your minds eye a large snake 100m long, call one of the generic snake warriors here.

 

[Superlative]

"Yosh, let's try it out ..."

*I close my eyes once again, this time visualizing a larger snake. While molding my chakra, I imagine a giant, 100 meter long snake -- one who's size could easily dwarf some buildings. I firmly root the image in my mind, before imagining myself as if I was in the middle of a battle. I (mentally) place myself in a position where I need to call the snake forth for help. Doing things like this helps me to create a sense of 'urgency,' allowing me to call forth this snake without making a mistake. Once I've kneaded a large enough amount of chakra, I open my eyes once more and slam my hand down on the ground. I release all of the gathered chakra to call forth the snake as if my life depended on it. In a large poof of smoke, the snake appears beneath me, lifting me into the air as I stand on his head.*

"Uwah, you're huge!"

*screams down at you..*

"Sensei, I did it!! What should I do now?"

 

[Houdinii]

Nicely done, you had a clear picture of him in your mind which resulted in the successful summons.

(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Kyodalja) - Summoning Technique: Giant Snakes

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: The user will summon a generic Giant Snake whose size can vary from a 10 meter long snake to ones the size of a boss summon, rivaling 100 meters long. These snakes vary in appearance and size and serve only as basic warriors, having only the normal characteristics of snakes. Although they are quite simple snakes, they are very enduring and resistant and, when big enough (about 50 meters long) they can take up to B-Rank damage.

Note: requires snake contract.
Note: can only be summoned once

Your friend there can return from whence he came so we may move onto the next. This time focus your mind on a small two heade snake only a little larger than yourself. He must be fast and agile, able to move and strike in the midst of rapid close quarters movement.

"Thanks buddy, you can go home now."

*The snake that I'm standing on bends its body over and brings its head closer to the ground. He does this in such a way so as to let me hop off of his head and back onto the ground. Afterwards, he disappears in a poof of smoke.*

*After listening to your description, I close my eyes and enter a light meditation. While kneading my chakra once again, I imagine a much smaller, two-headed snake. I mentally compare the snake to a mythical chimera, which surprisingly helps me build a more solid image in my mind. I imagine the snake as being close to my size and being able to fight alongside me in CQC. The snakes would be able to strike in conjunction with me, and would be able to attack with only a swift contraction of their muscles. After a few moments, once I feel that I've molded enough chakra, I open my eyes once more. I channel all of my gathered chakra and slam my hands on the ground in order to summon the snakes next me.*
