Non-Crossovers that Should Be, or Plotbunnies Free to Good Home

Not quite the same thing, I grant you, but I pmve posited that the reason the Shadow CLone is considered forbidden wasn't anything to do with chakra cost - a ninja who's so idiotic as to use a skill that drains him of that without it being a fight-ending move deserves whatever he gets - but because the actual guiding intelligence of them is a minor kami - the spirit of a handy pebble or blade of grass temporarily imprssed with a copy of the user's mind at the momnet of casting - and the jutsu expires when that copy unravels, most of the energy returning to the original, but a small amount staying with the spirit as payment, essentailly a tiny a and infinitely regenerating piece of the user's souls used to barter a contract with spirits too minor to even have a thinking mind under normal circumstances. Which is fine and no one would have a probelem with that in the ninja world either, except that sometimes, if one happens to be 'close' enough to notice the call and act on it, you get something ... else. Something that gets an instant tutorial on everything the user knows when it eats the mental copy that comes with that little piece of a soul, so you know Sarutobi really was feeling desperate when he risked spilling all the villiage's secrets to one when fighting in Orochimaru's box-o-fun. Something that is all too likely to think of that little taste like Captain Hook's hand to the alligator...

Except, of course, that would have made the story far too dark, and had too much internal consistency with how summon animals could have worked, and so Kishi would never have gone for it. Still, kind of an interesting idea if Kyuubi really had been a demon king so, the first, or even first few dozen, times this happened the something else would still not dare disobey, and he could get some explanation and possibly an only semi-malicious, trolling but not actively hostile ... something else, to act as a guide in the dicey world of being a spirit medium who provides the spirits called with a body capable of physically interacting with the real world for a short time by default.
