Something to note is that the default [Summoning jutsu](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Summoning_Technique) does require multiple hand seals.

<p>Orochimaru got his hands sealed when he was fighting against Hiruzen Sarutobi. He got his hands back much later during the war. But when he was fighting 4 tails Naruto at the beginning of Shippuden, he summoned three Rashomon. At that time he still didn't have his hands, so how did he manage to do that?</p>

How did Orochimaru use Triple Rashomon with his hands sealed?

After Hiruzen used the Reaper Death Seal, [Orochimaru](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Orochimaru) arms were immobilized and was unable to do anything with them (ie, perform justu). As a result, Orochimaru was forced to find a new host for his soul due to his current host's condition progressively got worse.

Transferring his soul into a new host cured the *physical* ailments of Orochimaru's conditions. While his soul was still damaged *spiritually*, he could at least perform justus that did not require hand seals.

Summoning justu does not require hand seals. Instead, summoning only requires a blood sacrifice and summoning seal.
