The Eight Divine Gates

Introduction:

The eight divine gates are something nearly every competent taijutsu user has heard mention of. These eight gates are like floodgates controlling the flow of a shinobi's chakra. With practice one is able to open these gates in sequence. Every time a gate is opened large bonuses are granted to the user.

Gate of Opening (First Divine Gate):

This gate releases the chakra flow in the brain, freeing the unconscious limitations upon the bodies muscles. Normally the muscles will only use a maximum of 40% of their own strength. This allows the muscles to use their full potential of 100%. This means the shinobi can increase his/her strength and speed by  up to 150% for any given action.  If a shinobi increases his/her stats by 50% or more he/she automatically suffers a wound. 100% or more equals a major wound. 150% equals a disabling wound (all of her/her muscles have torn)

Cost:
500 stamina

Requirements:
Chakra focusing 40
Stamina 2000
80 skill

Gate of Rest (Second Divine Gate):

The second gate, Kyūmon or the Gate of Rest removes the ability of the body to feel fatigue, making the user ready to fight once more no matter how fatigued they may have been. The user becomes miraculously ready to fight again, as though they had just started – though these benefits are not without risks, as it does not change the total amount of punishment a body can take.

Using the gate of rest causes the user to have their stamina set to maximum. It also removes the effects of the Exhausted and Winded conditions. However, it does not remove physical damage and the like to the body, and as such stamina loss suffered through injuries is not cured.

The gate of rest may be activated instantly, but may not be activated twice in the same 24 hour period. It may not be activated without the first divine gate open.

Requirements:
First Divine Gate.
3000 stamina.
Chuunin Chakra focusing.
80 skill.

Gate of Life (Third Divine Gate):

The third gate, Siemon or the Gate of Life allows information to travel through the nervous system at a much faster rate. As a side effect, the skin of the user turns red as blood oxygen levels increase.

Using the life gate causes the speed of the user to double while the gate is active. The life gate may be activated instantly and requires that 750 stamina be spent to activate it. It may not be activated without the second divine gate open.

Requirements:
Second Divine Gate.
4000 stamina.
Chuunin Chakra focusing.
80 skill.
