User blog:Holly Winter19/Can Shadow Clones use Summoning Technique?

So I was just thinking for a bit...

Can a shadow clone or elemental clone use the ?

If the user of the clone technique has the skill and chakra, the clones can use things like ninjutsu. Itachi, Kisame, Hiruzen (Third Hokage) have demonstrated such:



Does this mean that a shadow clone or elemental clone can use the summoning jutsu? They'd have to shed some blood to perform the jutsu, but I don't think that would make them dissipate. It might also require a fair bit of chakra, but considering they have the reserves and chakra control skills (so they don't waste chakra) necessary, would it be possible?

I can't recall if at any point a clone performs a summoning jutsu, but this is just an idea I have.

What do you think?
