User blog:Holly Winter19/Shadow Clones using Summoning Technique?

So I was just thinking for a bit...

Can a shadow clone or elemental clone use the Summoning Technique?

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?
