## Known Ninja Art-Summons

### **Hexenbiest Curse** (**呪詛の魔獣**)

By exchanging the life of the user and multiple others holding a deep grudge, this beast can be summoned and will hunt and kill a single target. It requires a core, somewhat connected to the victim, but even destroying that core will in most cases just result in the curse becoming formless and dangerous. Though technically more of a Ninja Art, it is a living breathing being, driven by the desire to destroy and hunts relentlessly.

The Ninja Art was almost forgotten in the past and was deemed too dangerous, as it would attack also anybody nearby and required already a sacrifice. However, after an attack on Gosha Village by the reformed Igawa Revolt. Multiple Taimanin that lost family members by the hands of Igawa Senshu and Hattori Seishu, used this technique after an execution was denied. Igawa Asagi, send out Fuuma Kotaro after learning about the situation to save her aunt, that was on her way of redemption at this point. However, even after destroying the core, that was created out of one of Senshu old arms, the destruction and rampage was ongoing. In order to save the people around her, Senshu stabbed herself in the heart, which resulted in the destruction of the Hexenbiest curse but also resulted in her own death.

### Sakura's Shadow Pets

Created fully by Igawa Sakura's Shadow Art. While, typically using shadow art to teleport or slice targets, Sakura is able to create fake animals. These take the form of sharks, cats, tigers, bears and so on. When disguised as Black Cat Teacher, uses these exclusively. One of the stronger once being the large Shadow Tiger. These summons-creatures all tend to be Black, with minor glowing yellow eyes or purple and dark coloration. A weaker version of this can be used by Kuramochi Keito, which can create shadow familiars, that also act like arrows.

### Shikanosuke Electric Creatures

Created fully by Uehara Shikanosuke's Elec Art. While normally fighting with much weaker discharges, Shinkanosuke can summon like Sakura fake animals and even humanoids. These take the form of a Shinkanosuke-like humanoid or the form of multiple tiny or a single large electric deer.

### Ninja Art Clones

Created by Mizuki Shiranui with her Water Art or Mizuki Yukikaze (Future) with her Lighting Art, an advanced technique. Resemble their original or, in the case of Shiranui even others. Act as distractions or extensions for attacks. Have no sentience and follow simple commands. Others also have the ability to either create clones with illusions or their own Ninja Arts.

### Spirit Summons

Used by Soul Art Ninjas which are able to control spirits, Tokirai Zenki, Kono Reima and Shishimura Koro are able to summon weaker or stronger spirits. Koro's Dead Spirits can kill targets by touching them, these creatures are autonomous and follow orders. It is unclear if they have sentience anymore after being resurrected.

### Paper and Earth Art Golems

Golem (Artificial) created by Ninja Art, act with a certain degree of lower sentience. Created by some Earth Art users and Paper Art users like Nanase Mai.

**Shuri's Clones**

The base Ninja Art of Yoimachi Shuri, creates three 15 cm tall clones called the Three Generals. These are sentient and share all of Shuri's knowledge. They are able to transfer their emotions and feelings as well as experiences back to Shuri over a long distance. However, because they also spread their intelligence and strength, they can create trouble for her.

### Guardian

The Guardian, summoned by Amamiya Shisui's Wave Art, uses natural energy and absorbs it into itself. Can attack on its own over a long distance, or become part of Shisui to strengthen her. The power of the Guardian is very high, and able to even be a danger to noble demons. It seems to have no sentience, but its true nature is unknown, it follows Shisui's wishes. Near the end of TABA, Shisui was able to send her Guardian from Gosha Village to Yomihara, to kill a weakened Fürst and save Fuuma Tokiko.

### God Art Deity

Might be a real creature that exists somewhere in the world. The "unknown and unnamed deity" can be summoned if Shishigami Jisai views a target with her eyes and curses the target to an instant death. It uses nature energy, not unlike the Guardian of Shisui. The ability is active all the time, forcing Jisai to keep her eyes covered at all times. It is unknown if the god is sentient.

### Fox Deity

Summoned by Kannazuki Sora, fuses with her body. This is very taxing and dangerous to her own life but grants her additional strength and changes her form. It is unknown what the Fox Deity is and if it is sentient.

### Spiritual Wrathful Deities

Might not be a real creature takes, the form of an angry deity, either a Deva or Rakshasa. They can be seen in some artwork, of certain characters.
