Ayane had an easy childhood. Her father, Akira, was one of the hidden sands top puppeteers. Because of this, Ayane never had a want than could not be satisfied. For as long as Ayane can remember, her family has been wealthy enough to be economically independent. Starting at a very young age, Ayane was taught the secret of puppeteering from her father. She trained with models, some toys and eventually some sample dolls made by Akira. As she became older, she was sent to the ninja academy to be trained like all the other children with a talent for the ninja arts. She was an above average student. Good at most things, but no genius. She was always one of the sharpest at chakra-control, thanks to her fathers training; she was already able to form decent chakra-threads.

At age 10, Ayane graduated and gained the rank of genin, Akira let her train with real ninja dolls for the first time. These sharp, stingy, poisonous and lethal contraptions caused some serious and at one time life-threatening wounds on the girl. But she was never afraid of them, no matter how huge or monstrous they seemed. She trained every day for several hours if she could. Apart from gaining access to her fathers dolls, she got her own as a graduation gift from her mother, who sadly passed away just a few weeks later, killed on a mission to find a criminal. After that, Akira stopped training his daughter, and never again went on a mission. Two years later he too passed away.

Ayane trained by herself and with her new team and jounin commander. Having a puppeteer in the team meant that her teammates could go all-out without having to fear for their opponents life as the opponent just as easily could be a puppet. This also meant that Ayane got a lot of training and developed her skills further than she could have done if she just had her father to train with.
At this point, she still only used the doll that her mother had made. It was a basic humanoid doll without hidden weapons of any kind. It was great to practice basic puppeteering, but Ayane knew that a puppets real strength was its hidden arsenal.
Ayane began to discover the different kinds of weapons that could be fitted inside a puppet. Everything from hidden blades to poison, her fathers puppets contained them all. After a few weeks of daily bruises, cuts and stab wounds, her father had had enough.
“Choose one of my puppets, Ayane” He said one day, and tried his best to smile.
Ayane ran into her father’s workshop and quickly chose a puppet named Yume.
Made to look like a young girl, the puppet was armed literally to the teeth with hidden blades.
“If you have chosen, meet me out back, I have to fetch something.”

Ayane went outside. The Makashi mansion had a big garden, with enough room for a decent ninja battle. As expected, Akira came out, followed by one of his latest creations.
“If you can beat me, Ayane, that puppet is yours to keep… Along with my whole workshop.” Her father said, but without the smile.
Ayane did what she could. She sent Yume to attack, but was blocked by Akiras puppet. She switched tactics and attacked the puppet, but got mauled in seconds.
She tried to use the hidden blades, but Akira managed to counter every attack Ayane could make. Less than a minute later, Yume was destroyed, far beyond repair. Ayane herself lay bleeding on the ground.
“Do you know, Ayane, how I beat you?” Akira asked, but she was too weak to answer.
“I made Yume, every joint and blade. The creaking of her movement tells me what you are going to do… Using any of my dolls, you could never win.” Ayane lost consciousness.

A few days later Ayane woke up in her room. Akira was by her side.
“I see that you are awake again… The med-nin says that you should be alright to move around again, which is good.”
Akira got up and moved to Ayane’s window, overlooking the village.
“I’m going to do to you what my father did to me when I was your age” He said.
“I’m banning you from this house, from my presence…”
“Father?”
“I have bought you a small house in the village, complete with a basic workshop where you can build your own dolls. I have already spoken to my suppliers, they will give you anything you desire and send the bill to me.”
“Father, why?”
“So that you can grow. In this house, surrounded with complete dolls, with me… You can never make the mistakes that may change your life, I would never let you. You must make your own puppets to master them, you could never win with Yume, remember?
The keys are in the bag, pack, and get out. Come back when you have mastered your puppet, until then…”
“…You are not my child.”
These were Akiras last words to his daughter.

Ayane packed slowly, taking the rest of the day to do it. When she left, her father was nowhere to be found. The house that Akira had bought was nothing compared to the mansion she had grown up in. Three rooms, a bathroom and a workshop in the basement. Ayane cried herself to sleep the first week, missing her father very much. She started to work on her puppet, dismantle it, putting it together again. Changing parts, adding… Fitting it with weapons. She trained with it every day, practicing new manoeuvres she made up. Her teammates would come around now and then, allowing her to try her techniques against real people, training both, or all three of them.

She was nominated for the chuunin-exam, and made it quite a long way, but not all the way. The head of the kugutsu corps was one of the judges, and claimed that Ayane’s doll was one of the worst ones he’d ever seen. Ayane ran away before she could hear the famous puppeteer say “The girl must be a genius to have come this far with it”. When she came home, she threw the doll in a crate and stashed it in her cellar. She could hear her father’s words in her head, about never beating him with complete dolls. Ayanes teammates both became chuunin that year, and left their friend behind as they went on bigger and more dangerous missions. Later that year they both disappeared while on a mission, no trace of them were found.

During the following week, Ayane was not seen outside her house. Men and women from the village came by almost every day, delivering everything from wood to metal blades to food. On the seventh day, her Jounin commander, Makoto, became worried, and came to check up on his student. Ayane was found in the basement, sleeping in the hollowed-out torso of a great wooden spider, screwdriver still in hand.
When she woke up, Ayane explained that she was building a new doll, from an idea given to her by watching some of the other contestants for the Chuunin-title. She took the incomplete doll outside to show Makoto the progress she’d made. After two minutes, the doll broke down into a pile of rubble.

Ayane became so angry that she cried and kicked the pile, cutting herself on a sharp metal edge. It hurt, and she’d cry some more. Makoto sighed, and did what he could to comfort his student. As a reward, he was told the whole story about Ayane and her father. Leaving his student with wishes of good luck, the Jounin went to visit Makashi Akira, Ayanes father.
But Akira refused to help his daughter, he claimed that Ayane had known about the risks of their duel, and had to suffer the consequences. When Makoto told Akira that his daughter could never learn the art of building dolls without him, Akira turned around and left. The Jounin waited for a few minutes before he left without seeing Akira again.

When he came back, Ayane was already trying to repair the doll. Makoto told her about Akira, and was surprised to see that the young girl did not even flinch. Afraid that the shock might be too much to let out, Makoto laid down some wisdom.
“It might be the best thing that could happen to you” He said, and Ayane looked up from her work, looking insulted.
“This way, you can choose freely whom you should be taught by”

So, Ayane besieged the head of the kugutsu corps (Daikoku Hideyoshi) home, begging for his training, and help. At first, he was flattered by the girl’s attention, but after a few days, he started to get tired. He did just like Akira, and challenged Ayane to a duel. If she could land just one hit on him, he’d become her private teacher. If not, she would never speak to him again.

Ayane pulled out her unfinished spider-doll and got ready. Hideyoshi faced her with a grin, not really believing that the girl would fight him with a broken toy. He summoned one of his oldest dolls, a wolf-like bamboo-construction, and attacked.
Ayane tried to block the attacking doll, and managed to place her creation between herself and it, and felt safe. But the wolf broke right through her flimsy doll and approached mercilessly and fast. But then it suddenly stopped, and sagged into a sad pile on the ground.
A second later, she could hear Hideyoshi say “You won” with his jaws clenched together.
As the dust from their fight settled, she could see the shapeless pile of her own doll spread out over a large area, and one of it’s metal blades sticking out of the master puppeteers left arm.
He later told her that as his wolf broke the spider, the dust-cloud forming covered almost his whole range of sight. Parts of the broken doll came flying and Hideyoshi jumped to avoid them, but were blind-sided by the flying blade and only managed to shift a little, he could not avoid it entirely, only make sure it wasn’t lethal. It was a hit landed in their duel, and he would stand by his word.

The next day, Hideyoshi came to Ayane’s home, and looked at her equipment and techniques.
The day after, he threw almost everything away.
On the third day, new stuff was delivered. And the building could begin.
They spent all the day and all the night together, and over the following days he showed her how the basic mechanics worked and was put together, he answered any questions she had (and they were many), he helped her make blue-prints for a new doll and he helped her build it. When it was done, he even helped her train with it.
With Hideyoshi as a teacher Ayane quickly became better and better. Her skill was already top notch, but without a good doll even the best puppeteer would fail. She named her new doll Zanza, after a legendary swordsman, and entered the chuunin exam as an individual. With Zanza as her backup she breezed through the exam and got her Chuunin rank. Only then was she informed that her world had collapsed. Her old teammates was missing and her father had died. She spent a month in solitude, surrounded only by her dolls for comfort. When she came back to the world it was as if nothing had ever happened. She sold her father’s mansion and her own crappy place and bought a new house with forge and workshop. She was happy, smiled and was genuinely pleased to meet people. Makoto-sensei was worried about her at first, but as time passed, her mood stayed the same, he figured that she’d gotten over her loss.
She made new dolls as well, using the knowledge Hideyoshi had shown her. She was developing into a fine puppeteer.

Instead of adding more puppets (Like Sasori, Chiyo and just about any puppeteer we’ve seen) Ayane has figured out how to increase the amount of strings she can produce and how to move her doll(s) with more strings. Currently she can make two strings per finger, which gives her the same amount of control over her doll as a martial artist has over his own body. Alternatively she can use two dolls with as much control as a normal puppeteer could move one.

Description: A fairly tall woman, standing at a solid 1.80 m and with an undisclosed weight (She weights 62 kg, though), Zee is a woman who does not like wearing the usual clothes a Kumogakure ninja wears, and as so, she prefers wearing a black, short sleeved top, a plain black mini skirt with black, thigh high stockings and a pair of black bracelets around her wrists. She also seems to prefer going bare foot whenever she has the chance, but otherwise, she wears the usual ninja footwear. Her long white hair is usually kept a bit messy, but she, at the very least, makes sure none of it goes in front of her eyes, sometimes with a hairpin or otherwise. Her hair, though, is still surprisingly well cared of, despite appearances. She has a slim frame and often takes advantage of that during battles, however, she keeps her chest bound, due to it being a bit too big for her liking. As a result of this, she does not like going naked in front of others. She keeps her forehead protector tied to her right thigh.

Hailing from a clan of highly regarded, though really odd clan of Kumogakure, the Ikazuchi family actually uses Scorch release instead of the usual Lightning release of the everyday Kumogakure ninja. Zee was actually one of the best out of the academy, and she barely even saw anyone catching up to her. She felt like a real ninja right off the bat. However, that same confidence made her conceited, and would soon lead to several events that she would regret later.

Zee and her team were people that stuck together really closely, as their personalities, that at time was purely hotheaded for Zee, were really compatible and fitting for each other. A team of 2 men and the only woman being Zee, since their sensei and overseer was also a male. Zee, at some point, started feeling like the mother and perhaps, somewhat of a protector to the team, and she tried her best to fulfill that role. She trained like crazy to be stronger and stronger and so she could protect her teammates, even making their lunches for them everytime they set out. Soon, they became chuunin, all of them and the number of missions given to them went up even more, after they were declared the best team out of everyone else.

One time, when they were tasked with the infiltration of a rival faction that opposed their country, they thought it was an easy, straightforward class. They never thought that they would be attacked and ambushed by their enemies. It was something quick and that left everyone dumbfounded. A flashthat blinded them, and the next thing they knew, their sensei was in the ground, lying there without moving even an inch. The teenagers, still confused as to what had happened, trying to wake up their teacher. No response came from him. Soon enough, they knew he had been killed during the confusion, and with several injuries in his back, there was no longer anyone could do.

A funeral ensued, everyone attended. Zee was angry, she wanted to tear them apart, but she knew she couldn't do it alone. Unluckily, for her, not everyone in her squad thought the same. In fact, she was the only one who thought like that. Trying to sleep the night after was hard, so she went to visit one of her squadmates, only to find that he wasn't there. She hurried to the house of her other friend, to ask if he had seen the other one. And she found no one. The realization soon came upon her. No matter how good they were, they wouldn't be able to take on a rebel army all by themselves. She hurried over to the headquarters of the ninja force, to hurry them into movement. While they didn't pay her any heed at first, when she told them she was going to go herself and do something about it, they finally accepeted to help her.

With a elite squad force, with her on the front lines after a lot of insisting, they arrived to see the enemy camp half ravaged. Two bodies lied in the center. Zee hurried over to where they were , only to find both of them half dead. Her squadmates. Hearing to their final words, even Zee couldn't hold back her tears. She was told that they dealt with half of them, an incredible feat for the two of them. Having only one thing else to do for her fallen comrades, Zee went on with what she had to do, along with the make-do squad they had put up for her. That night, the rebel forces were wiped out, with Zee taking most of the credit for that night.

As a sign of how honorable and brave her teammates were, they were given the rank of Jounin, but not Zee. No, they say she was far too reckless to become a Jounin. She does not remember that night very well, but people say she went wild that night, and that she struck with the fury of a thunder upon her enemies, hence gaining her nickname, leaving things open for a lot of confusion afterwards. And now, she tries harder and harder, and has become more and more like a mother now. She is decided not to let others be killed again while they are her teammates.

Description: Not the famous and legendary sword often depicted in Japanese history, but a sword passed down age by age by the Murakumo family that decided to name it like that in honor to the legend of the sword. It's scabbard is blue, as well as its handle. The blade is as long as Zee's back, so it is indeed fairly large. Zee usually carries it around on her back. The blade would have been passed down to the next heir, had it not been because the last one was killed. Zee is allowed to keep it for now, until a new heir is born and becomes a ninja.

Appearance:

Description: A wakizashi, a really small katana, of the Raigeki family. Not a family heirloom, but a gift for their first born son after he became a ninja. Given to Zee after his death.

Appearance:

Name of Technique: Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullets
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short to Mid range
Nature Type: Fire
Description: The user kneads their chakra into flames, which are then manipulated into a genuine-looking dragon. Since the art of having the flames obey the user's will is outrageously difficult, its mastery is restricted to a limited number of skilful shinobi. The flames are divided to launch a left side, right side, and frontal assault in all three directions at once, turning the enemy into ash in a matter of seconds.
Weakness: The range is mostly short, compared to other techniques. It takes great effort to cast this jutsu, both in chakra and mentally.

Name of Technique: Fire Release: Running Flame
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Mid range
Nature Type: Fire
Description: This technique creates a stream of fire that can be manipulated into several forms (so far, rings of fire that runs on the ground or a circle of fire flying through the air) before striking the target. Some Wind Release techniques can power this attack up.
Weakness: Despite being classified as an offensive jutsu, it cannot damage that much. It is better to use it as a way to stall people.

Name of Technique: Wind Release: Divine Wind.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short to Mid range
Nature Type: Wind
Description: The user releases a gust of wind that forms several small tornadoes. Combined with Fire Release: Running Fire that forms a circle on ground level, this creates a massive flaming hurricane.
Weakness: Not really designed to be used alone, as it may only disorient others, but its destructive force isn't that much of a thing.

Name of Technique: Cloud Style Flame Beheading
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short to Mid Range
Nature Type: Fire
Description: The user first imbues their blade with fire, before slashing in the direction of the desired enemy, resulting in the creation of large arcs of intense flame that follow the trajectory of the previous swing.
Weakness: Without a sword, this attack is pretty much unusable.

Name of Technique: Wind Release: Pressure Damage
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Mid Range
Nature Type: Wind
Description: This tornado-like mass is compressed until it has a very high density and is then released. The wind pressure is raised to its highest limit, and once the technique hits the target, the resulting blast sweeps everyone off their feet.
Weakness: It isn't an attack per se, but more to sweep the enemy off their feet.

Name of Technique: Wind Release: Air Bullets
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Wind
Description: This technique shoots multiple bullets of air at the victim with intense speed. The bullets also have great power, enough to subdue a whole group of shinobi.
Weakness: It has great attack power, yes, but it only works to knock people out, not to actually kill them. The shinobis that are knocked out in one burst, though, are surely pretty weak as well, as high level ninjas will only stagger.

Name of Technique: Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short range
Nature Type: Scorch Release
Description: The user creates several flaming orbs that resemble small suns. These orbs rotate around the user and can be freely controlled to attack enemies. When an orb touches an opponent, it apparently evaporates all the water inside their body. When this happens, steam can be seen emitting from the opponent's body and leaves a horrible burn in their skin. However, this technique is vulnerable to Water Release, which can be used to dissipate the heat, becoming steam.
Weakness: It doesn't have a really long range. It is weak to water release attacks.

Name of Technique: Scorch Release: Incinerating Flare Technique
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Mid range
Nature Type: Scorch
Description: Zee combines several of her flaming orbs to create a single massive one, which then violently explodes with enough force and power to incinerate a large area around it. When this happens, steam can be seen emitting from the area.
Weakness: Zee forcefully needs to bring together all of the orbs she created before, leaving her without much chakra for a while due to using two high ranking techniques consecutively.

Name of Technique: Raging Fire Blooming Lotus
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu, Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Nature Type: Fire
Description: Zee surrounds her arms and legs with fire and then proceeds on to attack her opponent with raging flames. She starts with a direct hit to the chin with her open palm, making her opponent raise into the air. She jumps to match their new height and then starts kicking their body with grace while skillfuly using her opponent's body to also keep herself in the air as well. After a long punishment with her legs, she ends up everything with a quick roll in the air and striking with her elbow on the back of her opponent's head, sending them back to the ground and her landing on top of them.
Weakness: Only a short range attack. The flames on her legs and arms also hurt her, hence, she needs to be quick when trying to finish someone up with this jutsu.

Name of Technique: Wind Release: Wind Talon
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Depending on the chakra she spends, this jutsu can reach even long range.
Nature Type: Wind
Description: A really simple technique. It only lets Zee dash forward at a tremendous speed once, before having to cast it again. It is excellent for when she needs to get into close range in a quick way, though not as fast as some other jutsus used for this same purpose. This, however, provides for high speed attacks that can make twice the damage they would normally do, due to the momentum she gains.
Weakness: While not something hard to control, it is a fact that she cannot stop once she casts this jutsu, until she hits someone OR something.

Description:
Appearance:

Description::
Explosive tags are a relatively cheap item that are quite commonly used by ninja's they essentially do as their name suggest's and explode after being ignited or detonated, Nathan use's these Tags as a distraction, while he prepares another summoning technique,

Kunai on the other hand are again a very versatile tool commonly used by most ninja as a stabbing or cutting weapon, yet they can also be thrown for limited effect. but the main reason Nathan use's them is for the fact that they can have explosive tag's attached to the loop, sentimentally making throw-able explosive's
Appearance:

Description: Scrolls that are used to summon creatures Nathan has a contract with, currently he has 5, 4 of which are quite small and compact while one is noticeably larger then the other's
Appearance:

it is a large fox about the size of a Saint Bernard, usually carrying around its namesake, a large lantern within its jaw's this lantern allows it to use its Fire release Foxfire which summons many little orbs of fire before bombarding the opponant with them, it is the lest taxing on chakra out of all of Nathan's offensive summon's

The Contract
It had been a simple day with Leton, they had just returned back from the island trip and already Nathanial was inclined to get another summon sure he had his Thunder eel but he couldn't summon the behemoth more then once or twice a day so it wasn't the most useful sure when summoned it pretty much guaranteed a hit no matter how marginal or small it still hit and it covered a wide area but it was to taxing, So Leton and Nathaniel left Kaji and began to travel to the domain of the fox's for their acclaimed fire release known as Fox fire, days turned into weeks, but eventually in southern Kumogakure they arrived at the Kitsune valley, but as soon as they tried to enter they where met with fierce opposition. since the fox's where honor bound, and the only way to get a contract with them was to get to the bonfire in the center of the forest without getting caught, this is when Nathaniel was taught The Hiding like a mole technique by Leton, sure it worked but he was going in blind, when he arose he was barely 5 meters away from the bonfire yet his legs felt weak from the lack of air he had while traveling, he started stumbling towards the bonfire he heard the rustling in the tree's, 3 meters, then he say the glimpse of a flame and he flung himself at the bonfire disregarding the pain it would cause before he could be seen, his hand touched the burning blaze. and he retorted it back in pain. he had touched the blaze with his left hand, the fox that was so close to finding him, lay down the contract that would allow him to summon a fox he signed the contract that was showed his fingerprints as a mixture of charcoal and blood,

and that's how Nathaniel gained the ability to summon fox's but he normally summons the same one who's called Lit,

Summoned with Nathans left hand,

A giant electric eel, comparable to manda in size, Nathans largest summon, it has the abilty to produce large quantity's of water causing something similar to a flash flood before electrify the water, as such it requires a large chunk of chakra to summon after it has completed its attack it will disappear, plus unlike manda the eel remains stationary and is very slow moving (it is much more effective if used at sea, its domain of origin is The grand reef in the ocean to the east of kumogakure

The Contract
See History for how his contract came to be,

summoned with Nathans Right hand

A owl commonly used for Recon due to the fact that its flight is silent, it is used by nathan for that exact purpose, the scroll used to summon it has a large owl symbol, on its case the owl is summoned by the dark blue scroll with the lighter band's the owl is capable of speaking the human language

The Contract
Ah his 3rd contract by far the easiest one in terms of difficulty, He and Leton had taken a trip to the owl residency a snowy forest north of kumogakure on top of a high mountain, their was owls of varying size's but Nathaniel was aiming for something smaller, as such The massive owl sage decreed a challenge to him, he had to ask each owl a question and if it was one they couldn't answer they would form a contract with him, this seemed relatively easy so he went to the smallest owl no bigger then his palm, big mistake, it proved vey knowledgeable they all did, about a hour later he came to the owl that would soon be his summon, his question, "I have fourty cups, I drop one how many do i have?" The owl was half asleep so it though he said Four tea cups and responded with "3" it was wrong, much to the owls horror, and the contract was made, Leton had to leave for a delivery after this event, over time Nathan grew to trust the owl and vice versa

Willow wisp is a utility summon while it gives of lit, it is a lot capable of self duplication akin to something like the shadow clone jutsu, but while it also give's off light it is also able to be used as a distraction due to it creating a natural genjutsu that makes you lose track of time if you stare at it. making you think you stared at it for moments when it was actually minute's the counter to this is relatively simple. get something else to prod you and bring you back to your sense's, summoned through the plain blue scroll

The Contract
A Will o Wisp is the essentially sentient Chakra without a psychical form normally made by moulding ones chakra into a item, it is basically leaving your chakra behind while you pass on as such many people don't see the point of it, but a will o wisp can be beneficial to others because of its light and genjutsu, they are relatively easier to contract with just feed them a lot of Chakra till they reach a certain point and then you can summon them, essentially they work like battery's you have to recharge them, Nathan discovered one on his way back to his grandfathers house,

A red skinned Oni with a cage embedded in its abdomen, it is used to contain Ninja, the oni does this by eating them, and once they are in the cage in its stomach which is said to be indestructible (it is not it's just very durable),as well as self repairing (but at a very slow rate, if the entire cage was destroyed then it would take up to 3 weeks for it to reform it is summoned by the scroll that has 3 red band's and 1 black band

The Contract
The 6th contract was a Iron cage Oni, this was by far the most problematic, as the entire process of summoning the Ogre demon basically involved being eaten signing the contract in its stomach which negates summoning, and then somehow escaping so it essentially requires other people to work in a way similar to a buddy system, Nathan managed this feat through summoning his Fox before hand as well as his Owl but that didn't make it any easier, first Nathan had to be swallowed to reach the contract scroll, signing it, the contract scroll then disappeared back into the Oni's flesh, the way the demon worked was it will be unable to be summoned by anyone else till the summoner's death, it was still a chakra hungry beast regardless of who its summoner was, and it didn't deviate from friend or foe, Nathan managed to escape through using the fox as a distraction before making the owl force feed the Oni rock's causing it to choke and kneel over, making it easier to escape, but nathan didn't make it out scathed see the Oni ended up scratching his face, with a single mighty blow that propelled him into the cave wall, he barely managed to escape from the beast, with a bleeding eye,

he could barely see for month's and his vision in his right eye is still not what it used to be, now he only summons the Oni as a way of detaining ninja, because it was impossible to escape from without outsider help,
(or a incredible amount of chakra)

Moyasu plateu is essentially a platform on the back of a Gecko, commonly used by those of the clan as a way of travel as such basically all members of the clan have their own contract with these "platform" gecko's because they are quite tame, they are not used for fighting summoned by the scroll with the gold band's

The Contract
The terms of Nathaniel's contract with his gecko was a simple one, see Nathaniel had returned to the village of his birthright where their where other member's of his clan it was a small and simple village built into the side of a valley for natural defense's and he was offered the chance to choose a platform gecko a chance he accepted, because it would make his travel's easier, so he was lead to a cave that was very very damp, and told to go in. he accepted, and ended up wondering down a large passage way. that lead to a large cavern filled with sleeping gecko's he wanted a large one so he would look grand yet after he did what the guide told him to do, which was to throw stone's at the wall until one of them woke up the first would be his contract, none of the large ones woke up, instead one of the smaller ones woke up it was the size of a horse. Nathaniel sighed much to the gecko's annoyance but he signed the contract anyway, this was his 4th contract and the gecko proved invaluable for traveling. so it was a worthwhile contract

The animated remains of a dead western dragon, it is missing the lower half and wing's (so all it is the head and the front limb's) as such it is not used for attack but more so for its incredible defensive propriety's, when it is summoned it summons on-top of the summoner protecting them from projectile's. it then disappears afterwards (this is Nathans second largest summon again it is very taxing on his chakra reserve's as it continuously drains chakra while summoned)
summoned via the largest scroll

The Contract
This contract was a finicky one at best see the dragon remains in question had long since been trapped in the side of a mountain yet a gang of Ninja's thought it would be amazing to reanimate the creature of legend using earth Ninjutsu they where marginally successful sure the thing was alive but it was still a skeleton and required a constant feeding of Chakra on the mountains it was fine it could hunt like a normal dragon would but these Ninjas thought it would amazing to move this dragon into the village, how stupid they where moving the dragon into their little trading village, soon everyone began falling sick due to the lack of chakra they had because of the dragon, soon the village was abandoned, until Nathaniel stumbled upon it a couple of month's later when it was deserted, at once he started to feel growing weak fearing it was some other ninja trying to attack him, he quickly ran through the village. until he heard a inhuman roar, his mind wavered but he couldn't leave a massive beast roaming around, so he backtracked and standing their was the skeletal dragon, their was a scroll at its feet along with a few carcass's "What are you" Nathanial began trying to distract the dragon before making a mad dash for the scroll, only to be flung across the allyway, he rolled along the gravel, which hurt like a *****, before dragging himself upright, he opened the scroll, their was a unfinished sealing technique but it was also oddly peculiar as it was mixed with the symbol's for summoning, so Nathanial sat down facing the dragon and began to finish the technique because all it required was Chakra it drained him considerably so much so he could barely walk afterwards but he had pocketed a skeletal dragon, eventually through experimentation Nathaniel, would discover its defensive ability's but every time he summons it, it leaves him weak, a price to pay for its incredible defense, this was his 5th contract, and after it he had to travel around on his gecko because of the massive taxation that was the sealing, considering he was doing it while being drained by the dragon.

It is also possible to increase the power of destruction of the spheres themselves by building up the chakra inside of them. The number of bullets is determined while kneading chakra.
