You are a toad. You are hungry.
Go from here. Describe the environment around you, your actions, what you are looking for, how you move around, become the toad in every aspect.

My amphibian skin is moist, and silted eyes only allow me to see a limited view before me. The ground beneath me is wet and green with moss. I make my way towards the still waters of the swamp with my four legs. I am hungry, I am a hunter, as I search closer to the water for the ideal meal. My lungs make it capable for me to breathe on dry land, yet, I have gills that allows me to breathe underwater as I submerge myself. However, my eyes are situated above the water, as I swim towards a nearby branch using my long hind legs. Upon this branch, which extends from the swampy waters, sits a small bug known as a dragonfly. Its wings flap as it sits there, and my eyes focus upon it, the silts of eyes narrowing even more. I lift my body a bit more out of water, allowing my mouth to be outside. With one fluid motion, I open mouth and extend my tongue towards the dragonfly. This grabs it, due to the properties of my tongue which acts as a sticky enzyme (I presume z,z) and allows me to pull the dragonfly back towards my mouth, and consume it. A simple meal, yet satisfying.

My amphibian instincts are tingling, as I notice a new threat enter my murky vision. As I had just consumed the dragon fly, I was till in the water, and as such, it allowed me to easily conceal my presence. Without any problem, I go underwater and thanks to my gills, I am capable of breathing too. I gain some distance from the threat, by swimming in the opposite direction using my long hind legs.

You never stated what stage of a toad I am fam >_>
My amphibian instincts are tingling, as I notice a new threat enter my murky vision. As I had just consumed the dragon fly, I was till in the water, and as such, it allowed me to easily conceal my presence. Without any problem, I go underwater and thanks to the pores on my skin and my natural ability to only keep my head and nostrils above water, I gain some distance from the threat, by swimming in the opposite direction using my long hind legs. This allows me to get away but simultaneously see what is going on around me.

I'm pausing the training momentarily. Please look at the bold statements.
Look to see that even if I didn't state what stage you were, you could in no way through the freedom of choice I gave you to choose what stage you were could achieve this.
Explain to me your oversight. We'll continue after your reply.
Note: If you left that first sentence out I would've continued no problem.

Yeah, was just joking around. I know I had the freedom to choose at what stage I am. I got confused lol

That explained nothing.
The answer that I was looking for was that in your first post you said you had four legs, in your second post you said you used your gills. You chose to be a mature toad in the first post. When a tadpole becomes a toad/frog, its gill disappear and the front two legs grow/appear in its place. The statement of four legs and gills is thus contradictory. I just wanted you to do the research to understand the metamorphosis aspect of the development, and see how you did not factor in changes that happen during development. As a biologist, its just something I'm interested in. And I wanted to give you some real life facts about frogs and toads instead of just the "Narutoverse facts."
That was your oversight.

Anyway, enough of that, now tell me everything important you know about toads both in real life and the manga.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy.
Toads are amphibians, who have dry skin and short legs. Their skin is much drier than that of Frogs, which usually sets them apart and also their habitat. Their skin is also covered with glands, which are usually mistaken for warts. Though I don't remember the exact name of the glands. Toads tend to stay in swamp based areas. That's pretty much for real life information on Toads. In Naruto, Toads are one of the first summonings to be shown and was used by Jiraiya the first time (unless you count Minato using Gamabunta in the flashback). Toads are quite important in Naruto, as they serve as the summonings for the protagonist, Naruto, and several other heroes like Jiraiya and Minato. They vary in size and colour, and even have different personalities. Some Toads are even capable of close combat, whilst others specialise in Oil usage, which can be combined with Fire for combinations.
Then there is Toad Sage Mode, the first Sage Mode shown too. Where the user, through extreme training, gains the ability to take in Natural Energy and harness its power, greatly increasing his fighting prowess. Naruto learns to do this at the home town of the Toads, Mount Myōboku. Ma and Pa, were capable of using a Sound based Genjutsu, but I think they were special and its not a thing any Toad can do.

-I take out a scroll and unravel it-
Okay, it's time. Bite your thumb and use your bleeding thumb to sign the contract in blood.

As the scroll unravels before me, I listen to my sensei and bite my thumb, causing a small incision to be made on it. I then press it, allowing some blood to come from it. I then use this blood, to sign my name on the scroll.

I punch you causing you to fly through many trees and into the middle of a deep chasm. You begin to fall into the depths of the chasm.

Suddenly I am punched, and without proper reflexes nor speed, I am sent flying back with great force. As I get blasted back, suddenly, the ground below me disappears as I fall into a deep chasm ;-;. I scream my lungs out, realising that I could actually die. What was my sensei thinking? Maybe it was part of the training? I fell deeper and deeper, and then I realised I could indeed do something about this. With a few hand seals and biting my thumb, I focused my chakra, hoping to summon forth something. We were learning Toads after all, maybe I could someone forth one that could break my fall and help me out of here! Should I fail though, I would probably die. After the set of hand seals and focusing my chakra, I slam my hand downwards, causing a sealing like formula to appear followed by a large plume of smoke. Did I succeed?!

As you are falling down into the depths of the pit you manage to summon Gamakichi. He uses his arms and legs to grab onto the sides of the chasm and launches out of it. He steps on you then you die.
Anyway, there are a bunch of toad summons so instead of teaching you them one by one and wasting time, I'm going to let you go through all the toad summons and explain their advantages and disadvantages and one or two strategies to use with each specific summon. Since you are doing over 10 techniques in one post, I expect the explanations to be decent. Or else, I'll be forced to make you redo them. As I can't have you half-ass 10+ techniques.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Gamakichi) Summoning Technique: Gamakichi
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description:
Gamakichi is the personal summon of Naruto and Jiraiya and one of Gamabunta's children. He was first summoned by Naruto Uzumaki because Naruto couldn't focus his chakra during the beginning of the battle with Gaara, but has grown since then into a fully adult toad. Very similar to his dad in both mentality and appearance, he stands at the same size as his dad. Like his father he also uses a giant Katana in combat. Capable of using Fire and Water up to S-Rank, he is also a good user of Taijutsu (mainly strong fist variations) and has a strength well above most boss summons. Similar to most toads, he can use Oil techniques. He apparently learned Senjutsu and is able to use Senjutsu attacks, much like The Two Great Sage Toads. If he is able to passively do it or if he is constantly in sage mode is not clear. However, his speed, power and the ability to infuse natural energy into his elemental ninjutsu techniques (effectively turning them into senjutsu techniques) makes him a formidable summon.
Note: requires signing of Toad Contract
Note: can only be summoned once

OKAY *Naked Snake voice*
Would be a shame if you did not play Metal Gear Solid 3.
This is a pretty bad ass Toad. His advantage would be his capability to use Water techniques up to A rank, and even Genjutsu up to B rank. This isn't that common among the Toads, and also the usage of oil, but that is quite common. On the side of disadvantages, I'd say that the Toad is only B rank in power, and also around human size (whilst most summons are quite huge). In a battle scenario, this Toad would be best to combo against an opponent by using his Oil to your advantage or even its capability of using Genjutsu in order to stagger the opponent as you go in for the kill with either a fast technique or even going in for a close combat. An overall nice Toad that I would actually use due to it not being very big, and it can probably move fast too.
This is a weaker variation, to be honest as he is a younger Toad, still B rank in strength but only capable of using Water techniques up to A rank, and Oil techniques which most Toads can do anyway. He is also about human size, which puts him at both an advantage and a disadvantage, as he can easily move throughout the battlefield without being too big, but won't fare well against larger summons. He is also capable of using some CQC, which can come in handy in battle. I'd probably use him, as a companion when I am around Mid range from the opponent, allowing for some Oil & Fire combinations, and also the usage of Water, to cover me as I get closer, or use some Nekura techniques to hide it within the Water techniques. Overall, a fairly okay Toad, though not as powerful as the first one I covered.
Jiraiya's personal summon, an overall bad ass since he doesn't even talk. He's a bit different from the normal Toads, whilst they mostly focus on elemental usage, this specific Toad seems to be quite proficient in the usage of Kenjutsu, Samurai techniques and even up to S rank Strong Fist Taijutsu (which excludes EIG). This makes this Toad a difficult one to fight, in close range as he fairly large and his proficiency in close combat, could be the end of you. I think I'd use this Toad in order to keep the opponent busy, whilst I initiate a technique that requires some time. Since he is so good in close combat, it could really allow one to do something else whilst the opponent fights the Toad. He can also use Oil techniques, which could even come in handy, to engage the opponent in close combat followed by releasing a mass of Oil on them, setting them up for a nice Fire combination which would set them ablaze.
A massive summon, and also the boss of the Toads. Gamabunta is like 100 meters tall, as large as a Tailed Beast, like the One Tailed Beast and even the Nine Tails. What makes him pretty epic, is that he has a massive sword, or a katana which can use skilfully. He is overall powerful, due to his size, and is able to use Water based techniques up to S rank. Not only that, but is immune to B rank and below Ninjutsu, which makes him an offensive and defensive Toad. He can also use Oil, on a large scale, which could be used to create a very powerful combination. Best to use this Toad when facing another large enemy, or boss summon, but due to his size, he isn't always the best to summon like in places which have roofs. More suitable for open fields, but his size also makes him a large target, which means he can easily be hit with anything. Overall, a nice summon but I don't see me using too much.
The Toads created by The Pervy Sage and donated to the list, are basically all the same as they have the same restrictions and are only different in terms of what element they are capable of using, up to A rank, and are unaffected by B ranks and below of said element. Anyway, this is the Fire based Toad, which is capable of using Fire based techniques up to A rank and is immune to B rank and below Fire techniques. Useful when facing a keen user of Fire, due to its immunity but also fairly useful to create nice Fire and Wind combinations.
Like the previous Toad, this one focuses on the usage of the Water element, up to A rank. Its immune to B rank and below Water, which follows the same advantages and disadvantages that usual Water does, as it is the only thing the Toad is capable of using. Best used against pesky Fire users, and if you are skilled with Water, this Toad can really compliment it.
This one is the Wind variation, and is capable of using Wind techniques up to A rank, and is immune for up to B rank Wind techniques and below. Pretty useful in conjunction with Fire, but the Toad can only use Wind, which makes it pretty meh against strong Fire users, who would put the Toad in a crappy position.
The Earth variation, where the Toad is capable of using up to A rank Earth techniques, and is immune to B rank and below Earth based techniques. This one is fairly useful, due to the versatility of Earth and because most of the fights happen on the Earth itself. I'd probably use this a lot, since the Earth techniques could really hinder the opponent, whilst I combine it with some Genjutsu and such.
The Lightning Variation, this Toad is capable of using up to A rank Lightning techniques and is immune to B rank and below Lightning. A pretty useful one, as Lightning techniques are quite destructive and can be used in combinations. Good for creating openings overall.
Finally done with those variations, now we get another big Toad which is fairly shy, but a very capable warrior. This Toad wields both a shield and a sword, and is dangerous in close combat. He is also quite fast in close range, and is immune to B rank and below Ninjutsu. It says he is capable of using Taijutsu, and even Kenjutsu, but not up to which rank. Combined with his large amount of skills, he can also use Oil based techniques. An overall useful Toad, which I would use to take down a powerful opponent in close range, to aid me or to create openings for the death blow.
The Food Cart destroyer Toad, been waiting for him. He is extremely proficient in close combat, and wields Two Katanas. He uses Kenjutsu, and is also capable of using Taijutsu and is also immune to B rank and below Ninjutsu. He can use Oil techniques like most Toads, and can be summoned through the Food Cart Destroyer technique, which summons him above an opponent and allows him to crash onto them with great speed. A powerful summon, and his wide range of abilities would make him a useful companion against other summons, due to his speed and agility. I think I'll use him a lot in battle.
Last but not least, Gamakichi is the son of Gamabunta, and a powerful Toad. He is quite large and can use a giant Katana, for Kenjutsu purposes. He is the only Toad which can use both Fire and Water up to S rank, plus Taijutsu too. He is also extremely powerful compared to most summons, and can use Oil techniques. He is also capable of using Senjutsu, and infusing it into his elemental techniques. Overall powerful, with little to no drawbacks, and I see myself using him a lot too due to his variety of abilities. He can only be summoned once in a fight.
I hope that is enough.
