About The Chakra Gates

Hachimontonkou - Eight Celestial Gates


Basic Concept: The body can only go 20% of it's limits naturally, with all the gates on. With each gate, the body can go an extra 10% for each gate broken. The gates cover both mental and physical barriers.

- Initial Gate [Kaimon]
Located behind the left eye, the Inital gate is the first of the eight celestial gates; it's not rare for a jounin who uses a good deal of taijutsu to know how to unlock this gate. Occasionally others will learn to break it as well. This gate is usually broken in order to perform a needed devestating attack or for a self boost to get out of a sticky situation; keeping this gate unlocked for an extended period of time puts a lot of strain on the muscles. | HP Cost- 5 (Every Post) | Chakra- 10 (Every Post) | 3 stat points can be dispersed amongst strength and/or agility | Genin

- Heal Gate [Kyuumon]
The Heal gate is located behind the right eye, it is the second of the eight celestial gates. As any taijutsu specalist knows, battle can be dangerous, if a shinobi is taking a beating they may choose to unlock the Heal gate, which allows them to shrug off a good deal of damage and even make their body function better for a while. | HP Cost- 5 (Every Post) | Chakra- 10 (Every Post) | The user shrugs off the first 25 damage (not cost) he recieves each post. If the damage that comes from an attack is below 25 then the damage is instantly reduced to 1 | Advanced Genin |

Gate Jump: 85 Chakra

- Life Gate [Seimon]
The Life gate is the third celestial gate, and the first of the forbidden ones; the unnatural endurance granted by this causes the user to barely even register pain, as such they would not give up easily in a fight, even if they are horribly outmatched. Located near the top of the spine, this gate furthers the endurance of the user. This gate grants some minor healing when opened as well. | HP Cost- 5 (Every Post) | Chakra- 5 (Every Post) | 5 stat points can be dispersed amongst endurance or intelligence | Chuunin |

Gate Jump: 125 Chakra

- Harm Gate [Shoumon]
The fourth gate is known as the Harm gate, and for good reason. Like the Life gate located right above it, it is forbidden for it's risk to oneself. This gate allows the user to tap into their own abilities even further, allowing them to truly use their taijutsu techniques to their full advantage. This is not without a price, however, while this gate is open the muscles are slowly being torn to shreds by the sheer force flowing through them. | 20 (Every Post) | Chakra- 20 (Every Post) | Effect- 6 stat points can be dispersed amongst strength and/or agility | Advanced Chuunin |

Gate Jump: 185 Chakra

- Limit Gate [Tomon]
Placed below the Harm gate, the Limit gate's name is a bit of a misnomer, by opening this gates the mind's natural inhibitions placed on the body are foricbly removed. This massively increases chakra flow, grants superhuman speed and strength and allows the user to fight even if he would be dead several times over. When this gate is unlocked the user's chakra forms a visible aura around them, and the chakra even appears to heal their wounds somewhat. Of course, the minds unconsious inhibitions are there to protect the body, with them gone the body slowly tears itself to peices, not knowing when to stop. | HP Cost- 5 (Every Post) | Chakra- 20 (Every Post) | You may continue fighting without penaulty when below 0HP. If you are between -25HP and -100HP then you are seriously injured at the threads end (exact extent of the injury decided by the staff). If you are below -100HP when the thread ends then you simply die afterwards. | ANBU |

Gate Jump: 230 Chakra

- View Gate [Keimon]
Falling in line below the Life, Harm, and Limit gates, the View gate is a rare sight to behold. Only taijutsu masters have ever succeded in unlocking this gate, and then with drastically strong effects. The user's body is actually burning from the chakra pouring out of all the tenketsu, creating such a thick aura that some jutsu are actually partially deflected. The chakra is basically holding the body together as the user's muscles and even some bones are being torn to shreds. Many have died while this gate has been unlocked. | HP Cost- 40 (Every Post) | Chakra- 20 (Every Post) | The damage from all ninjutsu and chakra-based attacks are reduced by 50. If any attack attempted on the user is less than 50 then it is instantly reduced to 1. The user gains 8 stat points to distribute as he see fits. | Advanced ANBU

Gate Jump: 285 Chakra

- Wonder Gate [Kyoumon]
The penultimate of the eight celestial gates is located at the base of the spinal cord; the Wonder Gate is only attained by true masters of the art of taijutsu; at this point the mind has actually convinced the body that it can do more then 100%, rather then the normal 20-30% it normally does. The enormous surge of energy granted by this state shreds part of the body as the gate is broken; however, the chakra is absorbed by every fiber of the body, knitting it together again, making it better; at least temporarily. The body is functioning at what no body should, and this state causes extreme physical pain; but the mind at this point has transcended pain. | HP Cost- 60 (Every Post) | Chakra Cost- 30 (Every Post) | 12 stat points can be dispersed anyway wanted throughtout the whole body. If chakra reaches 0 or less while this gate is open all bones will shatter and muscles will instantly rip | Jounin |

Gate Jump: 350 Chakra

- Death Gate [Shimon]
Upon unlocking the final gate, located in the heart, the body dies. The heart explodes, the lungs stop taking in air, blood stops circulating; the user is clinically dead, and no means exist to bring them back. Why would someone unlock this gate if it is inevtiable death? That's for the user to decide, what is known about this gate is that even though the body is dead the mind controls it with chakra flow alone, animating it and causing it to function as if it were still alive. Damage to the user means nothing, and even if a weapon should sever the body in half the chakra holds it together. Only true masters of taijutsu have been able to attain the unlocking of this gate, and then only under the most dire of circumstances.
| Chakra- 100 (Every Post) | The user can't die as long as he has chakra with which he can pay for this jutsu. All stats are triple. | S-Rank | Once the jutsu ends, the body disintegrates into nothing (killing the user). | The Wonder Gate Must be Open
