On the subject of summons dying with their master, Enma didn't die when Sarutobi died.
And thinking back to the flashback when Itachi explained to Sasuke why he killed the clan, he said something to the effect of to test the limits of this container. Perhaps Madara does have a soul transfer skill like Oro. It could be possible he took over Itachi and transferred over to Obito later on (my theory about how Obito/Akatsuki). If the latter is true, it could also expalin Tobi's split personalities.
Corn chips are no place for a mighty warrior!
To clear up this idea once and for all. Summons are not jutsu that are created by the user. Summons are contracts between the user and the creature being summoned. Naruto can summon frogs because he signed the frog jutsu. Jiraiya's name, and the fourth's names also appeared on that contract list. Sasuke cannot summon snakes because he absorbed Orochimaru's mind, but can because he signed the contract.Originally Posted by Mhalador
Basically, if your name is on the contract, then you can summon that particular creature. The fact that these contracts were in existence before Naruto and Sasuke were even born negates the possibility of them being "handed down", or destroyed after the user dies.
Finally, in case you haven't noticed, some of these contracts are meant for more than one creature. By telling this particular frog to work with Naruto, Jiriaya was finally allowing Naruto to be able to summon him with the contract. The reason he felt the need to hand this down to him, was that he didn't want to frog's information to be lost. For some reason, this frog seems obedient to a particular master, much unlike some of the other summons we've seen before now.
And finally, since it appears relevant now: do you guys remember when Sasuke controlled Orochimaru's snake with his Sharingan? This might explain the kind of power which Madara used to be able to summon the nine-tails. Who would have though it was actually an allusion to past events?
