Scrolls (巻物, Makimono) remain one of the most important pieces of equipment in a ninja's arsenal. Because of their size, multiple scrolls can be carried into battle in the front pouches of a flak jacket or in a pouch. This will save space and not sacrifice a much needed piece of equipment which may be required later. Apart from its usage as a literature medium, the scroll can also be used by ninja to summon creatures, people and items to their aid. Some techniques can also be stored in them.[1] There are also larger scrolls that ninja keep on their back, such as the Scroll of Seals and the Toads Summoning Contract that Jiraiya keeps. Naruto Uzumaki also keeps a scroll in the back of his Sage outfit that can summon a Shadow Clone, in order to increase the length of time he can stay in Sage Mode.
