The Eight Gates

Veteran

~Credit to Oahiz~
The first two gates are universally applicable to anyone with a main Taijutsu spec. They cost twice as much as a jutsu of equal rank and require twice the words to train. For example, Kaimon would require sixty points from the PAC. The final six are strictly given on admin approval and if there is any incessant nagging for it, the end result won't be pretty. Also keep in mind that beyond the fourth gate the user will be required to lose their secondary and third specs.

Name: Kaimon - Initial Gate
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Description: Located behind the left eye, the Initial gate is the first of the eight celestial gates. This gate is usually broken in order to perform a needed devastating 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. This technique increases the speed and strength of the user by 25%. Effect lasts for three posts unless another gate is used, then timer is reset. When timer is out, user suffers muscle fatigue and their bodies will be slowed 25% for two posts.

Name: Kyuumon – Heal Gate
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Description: The Heal gate is located behind the right eye, it is the second of the eight celestial gates. As any taijutsu specialist 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. The user of the Kyuumon gains 50% reduction through the sheer amount of chakra the body is emanating. Effect lasts for three posts unless another gate is used, then the timer is reset. When the time runs out, user suffers moderate muscle fatigue and has their movements slowed 50% for three posts. Kaimon must be activated to use.

Name: Seimon – Life Gate
Rank: A-Rank
Type:Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Description: The Life gate is the third celestial gate, and the first of the dangerous 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, making them completely immune to pain. They are still fully capable of being injured, but as long as their body is physically capable of continuing to fight, their brains are capable of pushing them to. Effect lasts for three posts unless another gate is used, then the timer is reset. When the time runs out, user suffers muscle degradation and has their movements stunned for one post and slowed 50% for three posts. Kyuumon must be activated to use.

Name: Shoumon – Harm Gate
Rank: A-Rank
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Description: The fourth gate is known as the Harm gate, and for good reason. Like the Life gate located right above it, it is considered highly dangerous for its 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. The user’s strength and speed is increased by 200%. Effect lasts for three posts unless another gate is used, then the timer is reset. When the time runs out, user suffers moderate muscle degradation and has their movements stunned for two posts and slowed for 50% three posts. Seimon must be activated to use.

Name: Tomon – Limit Gate
Rank: A-Rank
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range:Self
Description: 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 forcibly removed. This massively increases chakra flow, and causes the body to ignore any and all fatigue it has accrued thus far, allowing them to fight at peak condition. Of course, the minds unconscious inhibitions are there to protect the body; with them gone the body slowly tears itself to pieces, not knowing when to stop. Effect lasts for three posts unless another gate is used, then the timer is reset. When the time runs out, user suffers muscle degradation and has their movements stunned for one post and slowed 50% for three posts. Chakra is reduced to extremely low levels when the technique ends, leaving the user with just barely enough to live and no more. Shoumon must be activated to use.

Name: Keimon – View Gate
Rank: S-rank
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Description: Falling in line below the Life, Harm, and Limit gates, the View gate is a rare sight to behold. Only taijutsu masters have ever succeeded in unlocking this gate, and then with drastically strong effects and the furthest the defensive capabilities of the gates. The user's body is actually burning from the chakra pouring out of all the tenketsu, creating an incredible aura of chakra. 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. While Keimon is activated, the users chakra is too turbulent and vibrant for genjutsu to take effect and the sheer amount of chakra can reduce the damage of incoming jutsu by 70%. Effect lasts for three posts unless another gate is used, then the timer is reset. When the time runs out, user suffers complete muscle degradation and is rendered immobile for the remainder of the thread. Chakra is reduced to extremely low levels when the technique ends, leaving the user with just barely enough to live and no more. Tomon must be activated to use.

Name: Kyoumon – Wonder Gate
Rank: S-rank
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Description: 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 than their peak and pushes the user far beyond what they would normally be capable of. 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. Strength and Speed is increased by 200%. Effect lasts for three posts unless another gate is used, then the timer is reset. When the time runs out, user suffers sever muscle and internal organ damage and will die without receiving medical treatment in a twenty-four hour period. Chakra is reduced to extremely low levels when the technique ends, leaving the user with just barely enough to live and no more. Keimon must be activated to use.

Name: Shimon – Death Gate
Rank: S-rank
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Description: 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 inevitable 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. Grievous wounds can be ignored in this state but if someone is cut in half completely the chakra will not hold them 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. Strength and Speed and Chakra Capacity is increased by 400%. Effect lasts for three posts. When the time runs out, the user dies, no longer having the ability to keep his body animated. Kyoumon must be activated to use.
