Summon Type: Elemental-Cloning Summon
Rank: Average Leeches: C
Leech Queen: A
Contract Type: Ritual SongSummoning Personality: Average Leeches: The normal leeches are extremely friendly and docile until an immediate threat is perceived. They are extremely curious creatures and upon meeting new people will actively swarm and crawl around them. If the person in question is scared, they will slink off and continue what they are doing, but if nothing is done they will simply explore as the acidic mucous is only a defense mechanism to fend off aggressors and the few natural predators they have. In order to form a bond with these creatures all the potential summoner needs to do is find a way to speak and call out to them, song being the best option since they are blind. Once the bond is formed the leeches will automatically come to their aid when summoned via a calling melody. When told to attack through a different song they will not cease until the calming melody is heard. These leeches can be trained to react differently to notes or time signatures and there are several ways to know the mental state of the swarm.
Happy: The leech will create a 'pop' with their mouthes and vibrate slightly
Sad: The leech will seem to deflate and slither about slowly.
Angry: The teeth on the underside of the leech will begin to gnash and grind; creating a high pitched whir.
Obedient: When submissive the leeches will raise their tails in unison as a make shift bow and will answer any call made by the one who bonded with them.
Advanced Leech: They act exactly the same as the average leeches as they are nothing more than a large collaboration of hundreds of individual leeches bound by the hive mind. In this state they show emotion via body language used by the one they are closest with.
Leech Queen: The queen is an extremely arrogant and harsh individual who will not hesitate to call out the one she had bonded with on at any time or any place. She will constantly butt heads with them and fire insults in order to mask just how much she truly cares about them. Her voice is like that of a maiden despite her grotesque form and there is a childlike innocence to her; and that can make for some extremely confusing situations.
Summon DescriptionQueen

Normal Leech (Top)
- Spoiler:
Normal Leech (Bottom)
- Spoiler:
The normal leech however is only three inches long, but they make up for that through numbers and a collective hive mind.
Summoning Process Once the melody begins to play, the leeches will gather from no matter where they are and assemble (There must be some form of moisture in the area) around the caller. It is futile for an unknown individual to call the leeches by reciting the same melody unless they are taught. If the false melody is sung the leeches simply will not react as it is the same principle when it comes to penguins finding their mates. The noises my sound the same, but they can just tell though subtle differences weather it is the one they bonded with or an impostor.
When the queen is called through a song, however the leeches will form one giant mass and form the basic shape. Then a foot long 'Master' leech assumes their point in the center which acts as a brain for the body. Once in this shape the leeches that formed it are no more unless a limb is severed and the cloning process begins.
Drawbacks : Due to the sheer number of leeches that must be available to use them properly, it takes a fair amount of chakra to summon them. The leeches are also extremely vulnerable to earth ninjutsu as their bodies are very soft and squishy.
Abilities :
[list] Elemental: Allows the leeches to utilize the moisture around them in order to fuel their extremely acidic mucous and potentially devastating water ninjutsu.
Cloning: Once a leech has a part of their body removed, that particular appendage molds into an exact copy of its 'parent' leech. The only way for them to have genetic diversity is through the queen. The queen, however can drop off entire limbs that dissolve into hundreds of leeches.
