So, I got to thinking while I was randomly scavaging for food in my fridge, and I was thinking "What is so special about the frogs? There are other, cooler, summons and they all talk."
Why can the frogs take people back with them to their dimension, and teach special, magical, fighting forms? What about others? Does Kakkashi know Pit Fighter Arts from his summoned dogs? Did they ever take him back and teach him .. maybe "Dog eats tiny weak frog!" mode? Or does Tsunade know Slug form?

It doesn't make sense that frogs are that powerful, and not everyone has contracts with them. Just a pondering, has any mention been made to why the frogs are special, or lack thereof? Or what other cool arts do you think the other summons have? I couldn't think of anything for Snake.. maybe "I keeel you" mystic arts?

Slug arts probably deals with knowledge of poisons and remedies and such.
And,
The way I see it orochimaru was probably the pinnacle of snake arts.
Though we never heard him name any of his fancy moves.

As for Kakashi he has his supersensitive nose.

it's probably that frog arts or sage art is an art that has existed for quite sometime, which is proven through the statues of frogs that naruto sees of the people who have tried sage arts. and becuase it has existed for quite sometime there probably was more time to different people to think of different techniques and create them. you could say that the reason for the many frog statues is becuase many people have tried sage arts, but that does not seems to be the case cuz it seems they don't teach sage arts to just anyone.

and kakkashi is not the type to focus on one art, instead he has a range so he probably does not have an extensive amount of skills in dog arts. so he may have learned summoning similar to naruto, which is by signing a name on to a scroll

for orochimaru, he may already be in snake form. as i recall he never had the yellow eyes, his shape of the eyes were the same however the pupil were never yellow. thus he has a snake like body. but that could also be some other jutsu, but they are still snake arts.

and for tsunade, she never needed slug form. what is the slug really good for? the slug wasn't really useful for fighting at all. and does it really have anything special for healing puposes? she does have super strength jutsu, but she's a healer first then a fighter. therefore would have more skills in the healing art, unless slug art can help healing, but the manga has shown no proof of that.

in the end i've shown why certian things have not been seen, but it does not prove whether it exists or not. and it's probably not that frogs are THAT good, it only seems like that cuz we see more of it in the manga.

Well, that is it though. Sage arts isn't just a fighting kata. It is a new energy type, super strength, and so forth. I imagine Kakkaishi would love to get his hands on that if the dogs had it.

Snake form, I can see since Orochi had the snake form, so that might have been where he got that, but I figured that was from experimenting on himself, could be wrong though. Also, as was said about all the statues, that just proves how many have tried the sage arts, and how many have been frog summoners.
I thought it was said, though it could have just been a translation, that all those statues were from people who lost themselves to the Sage arts, and couldn't keep the balance?

haha, if tsunade or sakura turned into a slug.....lol

tra-la-la~

what if temari has weasal arts? she's the only young one outside of naruto and sasuke to actually use a summon so far.

true but it should still take a long time to gather all those people. if there are that many frogs statues there, then it must mean that there are some people who also succeeded

Anyone think Gai knows about Turtle Arts 😕 Remember when he was a turtle 😕

He might. He never was a turtle though.
He only summoned one early on.
