Name: Bringing Forth of Shadows
Rank: B-S
Appearance: B Rank

These are the weakest of the shadow summonings, though are still not to be taken lightly. They appear to be ghosts, only they are of a darker color and not white. They are transparent, and so do not cast shadows of their own, and though they are see through, objects seen on the other side of them are given a darker tint to them. They seem to float along like ghosts as well, and move at about an average chunin level speed so are fairly easy to dodge. These Shadows are impervious to all taijutsu and weaponry. However, they do suffer weakness from bright lights casted by fires etc and can not be used during high noon. If exposed to such light they will phase out and disappear. They are also weak against fire and lightning jutsu. Any C rank or higher jutsu of those elements is an instant kill, for D rank it is only two. For other techniques it takes one B rank, or 2 C rank, 4 D rank. They require a sacrifice of 10% of the summoners over all chakra to be called upon. They can not mold their body and can only stretch their own in different ways. They are only capable of using two jutsu, shadow imitation in which they just infuse themselves with the targets shadow to do. They can also do this by fusing with other shadows and waiting for the target to step into them, they can also travel along the ground and trap them when stepped upon. They are most dangerous at night. They can also utilize the shadow neck bind by stretching out their bodies and wrapping around their opponent.
A Rank

These shadows are much more dangerous than their B rank brothers. For starters they are formed with more chakra and have become solidified, no longer transparent. They walk upon the ground and are not weak against the light, and they DO cast shadows of their own which they can manipulate like the Nara clan members do. They can also mold their own body and use it for more advanced Nara techniques such as the Shadow Sewing. They can also use their own shadows in this way. They are also much faster and move at a jounin speed. Their shadows though are fairly small, but they rely more on the shadow composition of their body. They are only about 4.5 feet tall. To defeat them takes 1 A rank, 2 B rank, 4 C rank, 8 D rank, or one B rank or higher fire/lightning jutsu. It takes 20% of the users over all chakra to call them forth.
S Rank (locked unless achieved through Rp)
Comes Solo
This is the ultimate shadow summoning. It, like the B rank level, is solid and is capable of casting a shadow of its own. It can also mold its own body and utilize the shadow sewing technique among others of such nature. Standing about 10 Feet tall and measuring 6 feet across, it is comprised of the most shadow material. It is however quite slow, only being able to move at about a genin speed, but that only counts for its mobility, as its attacks are still fierce and fast. It can not manipulate its own shadow, but that is made up for by the large amount of shadow substance it is made up of. It can utilize kage mane by impaling a shadow with some of the shadow which makes it up. To defeat it takes 1 S rank, 2 A rank, 4 B rank, 8 C rank, 16 D rank, or any fire/lightning jutsu of A rank or higher. It takes 30% of the users over all chakra to call him forth.
Type of Summon: This summon requires three components to be brought forth. The first is of course blood. This is more than with most summons. The user must cut a line from the base of their thumb to the base of their pinkie. Next is the chakra, they must gather the required chakra to their hand, (see above descriptions for details.) Finally instead of slapping the hand on the ground, they will slam it onto their shadow, which will then be removed during the duration that the summon is called out for.
Species: Shadow Creatures

History: These are the shadow beasts that only offer themselves to a Nara clansman who has performed an act of truly unacceptable standards. They reside in the heart and make their presence known through voices in the head after the act is done. They made themselves known to Senkou after the brutal killing of the genin squad he was training as a Jounin.
Link: *this summoning is to come with Senkou along with his approval.*
