Hachimon

---

The Eight Gates are eight specific points on a person's Chakra Pathway System. They limit the overall flow of chakra within a person's body. The basis for the idea of the chakra gates comes from the body's limits on the functions within it. This makes the body much weaker, but it keeps the body from expiring too soon. By undergoing intense training, one can learn how to open these gates allowing the user to surpass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their own body. Below are a few rules that one must keep in mind about the Hachimon:

[/b]the gate has been learned.
● Gates stack, meaning if you open the fourth gate, you still get the effects of gate one to three.
● The gates last for a total number of posts equal to your character's original stamina, minus one for every gate opened. The gates will always last at least one post.
●  Each gate requires 25 EXP to learn, and learning the gates take a Power Slot.

The gates are as below:

Located in the brain. This gate removes the restraints of the brain on the muscles so 100% of their strength can be used whereas normally, a person can only use 20% of their muscles' strength to keep them from disintegrating. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use the Omote Renge. Raises Strength by 1.

Omote Renge can be learned as a B-rank Taijutsu:

Name: Omote Renge - Front Lotus
Classification: Taijutsu, Kinjutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand Seals: -
Requirements: Konoha Kage Buyou

The Front Lotus requires the opening of the first of the Eight Chakra Gates. The user kicks their opponent into the air and then uses Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Once behind their opponent, the user restrains them and pile-drives them into the ground head first while rotating at a ferocious speed. Due to the use of one of the Eight Gates, the user is left extremely fatigued, making this technique a "double-edged sword".

Located in the brain. Forcibly increases one's physical strength and temporarily re-energizes the body. Raises Strength by 1 and restores stamina for the duration of the gate.

[/PTab][PTab=Seimon]

Located on the spinal cord. Allows the user to use the Reverse Lotus. The increased blood flow turns the skin red. Allows the use of Ura Renge Control decreases by 1

Ura Renge can be learned as an A-rank Taijutsu:

Name: Ura Renge - Reverse Lotus
Classification: Taijutsu, Kinjutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand Seals: -
Requirements: -

This technique is an advanced and more destructive version of the Front Lotus, which requires that at least three chakra gates be opened. Once enough gates are opened, the user kicks the target into the air and continues to strike them at inhuman speeds before hitting them with a final, powerful open-handed strike and kick at the same time, sending the target crashing into the ground which is usually fatal due to the speed and power behind the attack.
Because so many chakra gates are opened at once, this technique can only be used once, since the user will likely be unable to stand afterwards.

Located on the spinal cord. Increases the user's speed and power. May cause muscle tissue to tear on use. Raises Speed by 1

[/PTab][PTab=Tomon]

---

Located in the abdomen. Increases the user's speed and power. Raises Strength and Speed by 1

[/PTab][PTab=Keimon]

---

Located in the stomach. Increases the user's speed and power. Allows the user to perform Asakujaku. Opening of this gate releases such enormous amounts of chakra that it can cause nearby water bodies to form a vortex around the user. Control decreases by 1

Asakujaku can be learned as an A-rank Taijutsu:

Name: Asa Kujaku - Morning Peacock
Classification: Taijutsu, Kinjutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand Seals: -
Requirements: -

The principle of this taijutsu is to rapidly increase the body's abilities by opening up to and including the sixth of the Eight Gates, and then to strike the enemy down with countless punches. The technique is started by kicking the enemy into the air, which for most would be an instant kill. The user then jumps into the air in a distinctive stance and begins punching the enemy repeatedly. The speed of the punches is so fast that they are set ablaze by sheer speed and friction. This creates a peacock-like fan of flaming chakra around the opponent. Once the attack is finished, the enemy will be sent crashing back to the ground, covered with the attack's aura.

Located below the stomach. Further increases the user's speed and power. Allows the user to perform Hirudora. Those who open this gate will pour glowing green sweat from every inch of their body, which immediately evaporates from their own heat energy, creating an aura which people would mistake as a chakra coating. Unfortunately, the side effects of opening the gate are that the user's muscle fibres are ripped to shreds, causing intense pain if anything or anyone touches them. Speed and Strength Increases by 1; Control decreases by 1

Hirudora can be learned as an S rank Jutsu:

Name: Hirudora - Daytime Tiger
Classification: Taijutsu, Kinjutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Close (0~5m) to Long (10m+)
Hand Seals: Technique specific seals
Requirements: -

Daytime Tiger, contrary to its appearance, is purely taijutsu in nature and is nothing more than an incredibly fast punch. After opening the seventh of the Eight Gates, the user places a palm facing forward in front of their face with one hand and then taps it with his other hand, formed into a fist, which creates a massive amount of air pressure. Next, the user forms a unique hand seal resembling a tiger, which launches the air pressure at the opponent in the shape of a tiger, by leaving a gigantic tiger-shaped impression into the initially built-up air pressure with the hand seal. The air pressure will condense as it's moving and be focused into a single point. The technique then explodes on command, releasing the built up air pressure in an instant. A massive concussive explosion is created which can be felt a significant distance away.

Located at the heart. Releasing this gate uses up all of the body's energy. It makes the heart pump at maximum power and exceeds the power of every other gate. Opening this gate gives the user power that is even beyond the five Kage, but comes at the expense of the user's life shortly after. Speed and Strength Increases by 1; Control decreases by 1

Sekizou and Yagai can be learned as S rank Jutsu:

Name: Sekizou - Evening Elefant
Classification: Taijutsu, Kinjutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Close (0~5m) to Long (10m+)
Hand Seals: --
Requirements: -

This technique is a continuous assault of five punches, with each "foot" (足, soku) — as they are referred to — being performed faster than the one before. It creates a vacuum of pressurised air which bears the appearance of an elephant's leg, causing devastating damage to the opponent. One punch alone was capable of creating a massive and deep tunnel in the ground.

---

Name: Yagai - Night Guy
Classification: Taijutsu, Kinjutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand Seals: --
Requirements: -

When the user initiates the technique, they emits a huge amount of chakra. After gathering all of this chakra around their body — forming a flickering dragon-like aura — they dash forward at such an extreme speed that the space (空間, kūkan) within the immediate vicinity of the technique is distorted, allowing them to bypass his target's defences. The user then deals an immensely powerful kick which carries such force that it is capable of obliterating the target's body, as well as shattering the bones in the user's own leg. Following the attack are fatal repercussions as it the user on the brink of death and slowly turning into ash; crumbling from the immense discharge of their chakra.
