According to the [wiki trivia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tailed_Beasts):

> _"Among the tailed beasts, only Kurama has been shown to be subject to
> the[Summoning
> Technique](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning_Technique)."_

But how can this possible? Controlling a tailed beast doesn't mean that it can
be subject to Summoning Technique. Did Madara sign a contract (form of a
scroll) with Kurama?

How can Madara summon Kurama?


Excerpts taken from Naruto Manga Chapter 501-503

Lets look at the following images from the manga,

**1>**

From image **1>** We see Madara* (Who was later shown to be Obito) extracting
the kyubi from Kushina's body.

**2>** This is where he summons the kyubi into the village

**3>** In the conversation between Madara and Minato, Madara says, `A contract
seal...`

**4>** Finishes off the fight between the two.

Now, based on these images we can deduce that it is not always a scroll that
is needed to create a summoning contract. A scroll may be one of the ways in
which such a contract be created. The sign that is done in the scroll is a
"seal" that seals the contract.

So, considering what Madara said about Minato trying to place a contract seal
we can deduce that there are other ways to seal a contract. Now when did
Madara do it? That must have been done after Madara had the kyubi under
genjutsu and before Minato came back for the final showdown between the two.

Now coming back to your question, there are two stages to controlling a beast
or summoning animal. The first is where you put the target under genjutsu and
manipulate them, the other is to put them under a contract. It seems that
Madara has first put the kyubi under genjutsu and then he sealed a contract
with the kyubi using some sort of contract seal.

*I am referring to Obito as Madara here because at that point of the manga the character was known to be Madara himself. Which was changed as the plot progressed.

Madara, the REAL Madara, put Kurama under a genjutsu before fighting
Hashirama.

Due to Kurama being under a genjutsu, somehow, someway, the sharingan allowed
him to sign a contract with Kurama. Each time Kurama is summoned, Madara has
to quickly put him under genjutsu or it could mean Madara's certain and
untimely death.

I would imagine that any large animal like a tailed beast or summoning animal
doesn't require blood for summoning if you have the sharingan and bound them
under a contract through genjutsu. Meaning that maybe Sasuke's summoning
(Hawk) is a result of Genjutsu considering his summoning can't even speak. And
neither could Kurama speak when he was under genjutsu. That's my only
explanation.
