Sensei again flourished his strange chakra stick, causing several scrolls to appear as he spoke. Orochimaru had noticed a certain level of pride with his teacher. He held himself in very high esteem apparently, if his comments were not in jest he must either be very strong or very arrogant. However his skill as a sensei was undeniable. Orochimaru would read through the contents of the scroll. He was familiar with the technique in theory though not so much in application but would explain as best he could.Shit, I knew there was something I was forgetting. Nonetheless, it wasn't too late, plus I still had my skills from way back when..hm, let's see. I quickly conjure up a bag with some scrolls in it, using my wand as the catalyst. I bet this kid must be wondering what the hell is going on, but its all part of the process.
"Okay, okay. You have signed the scroll, next to the names of renowned people like uh...yeah, there's no one renowned on that contract except me. Other than that, I realized you being a kid, fresh from the academy, you probably haven't even learned the Summoning technique, huh? Well, today is your lucky day. I was quite enthusiastic about Ninjutsu way back then, and I am able to teach you a bit about that, if you are ready. All I am going to warn you about is that you will have to bite your thumb like...a lot. Summoning an summon, requires a blood sacrifice as you know."
I reach into the conjured bag, and grab one of the scrolls. Colored in red, with various golden markings on it. With a quick flip of my hand, the scroll flashes open and reveals several words and markings on it, mostly instructions.
"Now, I want you to read this...you can read, right? And then elaborate a bit on it."
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.
Orochimaru would nod his head to his sensei. Actually feeling a little nervous and anxious. Which was unusual for him. But the snake contract meant a lot to him snakes as creatures held so many secrets had so many variables and potentially unlimited longevity if they could be harnessed. Orochimaru bit his thumb and made the hand seals. Slamming his hands on the ground a poof of smoke billowed and from inside the smoke... A small relatively basic brown skinned snake appeared. It was beautiful with its gilled sclera and flexible powerful scales.Hm, it seemed he understood it pretty well. But now was the time to test it out for real. Perhaps he would be able to bring forth a Snake this time. Nonetheless, I nodded my head in agreement.
"Well done. Now a key thing about this technique is, you can summon a generic form of the creature or summon you signed a contract with. By generic, I mean basic, no ability weird looking snake. Pretty cool for being dramatic or whatever, or if you just want him as a companion. So you signed the contract and you know how to summon a Summoning now. Why don't you try it out?"
I asked, as I gestured my hand at the young kid.
Yes absolutely sensei. I would appreciate the tattoo. Could you place it on my left forearm possibly?He had enough to chakra to conjure forth a generic one, but what about a specific Snake from the contract...hm, maybe it was time to find out. Nonetheless, I send a blast of Mahou to hit the snake and cause him to disperse.
"Hehehe, stupid ass will probably tell Manda >_>. Anyway, let's try something a bit more..big? Yeah, massive Snakes can be summoned. That one was one of the smallest snakes you'll see around, and I am talking taking-down-villages-with-a-tail-swipe kinda large. Anyway, before we get on that, want a Snake tattoo? I have a pretty cool one?"
I asked, as I showed him fairly visible tattoo. I hope he doesn't ask me about my awesome Fox one on my other arm >,>.
Mr Robot is awesome, just saying. Now on to training.Left forearm, got it. With a nod of my head, and a swing of my wand in an intricate pattern this Muggle wouldn't understand, dark paint would manifest upon his forearm. Slowly the shape of the Snake summoning tattoo comes forth, engulfing the kid's arm in its embrace. I must say, it looks pretty cool. Nonetheless, now was the time to take things to greater heights.
"Alright, you got the tattoo now, so it makes things easy for you. All you have to do is wipe some blood on the tattoo, it takes away the hand seals of the summoning, making it faster. Now try and wipe some blood onto that tattoo and summon forth the first actual Snake from the contract, focus. Think big, and by big I mean up to a 100 meter sized Snake, the smallest being 10 meters. Try and summon it forth! Over there, by the opening, don't want to crush everything here."
I say, as I point to the area where the Snake is to be summoned.
"Oh, and check out this scroll when you have done the summoning, just so you tell me a bit about the snake you just summoned. Oh. and they don't talk, so don't even try. Unless of course, you're me."
Listening to his sensei Orochimaru would absorb the information provided and begin his next summoning. Following the previous attempt he would focus his chakra once more throughout his body moulding it while focusing on the creature his sensei had described. A dual headed snake of roughly equal dimensions to himself. His thumb still trickling blood is slammed on to the tattoo quite forcefully to promote enough blood to be released from the small wound to facilitate a summoning. The blood sacrifice completed orochimaru would direct the snake to be summoned around him. A large two headed snake appearing coiling around his torso feet and shoulders both heads look out over Orochimarus shoulders staring at his sensei.Not bad! This kid actually summoned it pretty well, better than most do at his age. No wonder they said he was somewhat of a prodigy. Hm, well, now to show the kid what the snake was actually capable of as well.
"Although this big old buff isn't that interesting, he is able to tank up to B rank technique. Check this!"
And with a swipe of my wand forward, a powerful blast of fire is unleashed upon the snake. Its power, not strong enough to take the snake down though, something of a demonstration to show what he was capable of.
"Use that to your advantage in battle. We'll have a snake-royale soon hehehee. Nonetheless, let's see, next on the list we have a similar summoning, but this time, two heads! Visualize and try it. Not as large, almost just as big as you and is able to bite the opponent and cause quite some damage with it."
With another swipe of my wand, the previous massive snake is summoned back to its home. Leaving broken trees and large marks from where it was.

Right away sensei. As you say.And it only gets weirder, the Snakes seem to take a liking to him easily. He was born for this. Nonetheless, we still had several Snakes to cover, and one of them was Manda, but I'd save him for last. For now, we had something similar to the previous two Snakes he summoned.
"Okay, okay, impressive. Now next on the list, we have something more of a perfect pawn. A snake with three heads, generic in appearance and up to 70 meters long. These snakes serve as warriors, capable of being very enduring and dangerous if used right. They can also take up to B rank damage. Summon one and let's see what it looks like."
I say, as I cross my arms, and await my student's response.
