Name: Hachimon
Type: Tai
Rank: C-S
Description: In addition to the tenketsu, the chakra circulatory system houses eight valves responsible for regulating the flow of chakra. The Hachimon or eight gates are located along the spine, the heart and in the ninja's head. It is possible to force the body to open these gates, which allows the ninja to release ten times the usual amount of power. Unfortunately such power comes at a price, as each subsequent gate is opened, the ninja increases the damage to their body and comes closer to death. For this reason gate opening has been deemed Kinjutsu. If all eight gates are opened, the ninja gains power that surpasses the Hokage at the cost of their own life. Also even if the ninja opens fewer gates, if they do not strike a finishing blow against their opponent, they will be severely weakened and very defenseless to a counter attack. It is also unclear whether the ninja has to open all the gates in order, of if they can open a later gate and bypass the previous ones.
Available Gates- Every 2 gates equal 1 jutsu.

Reiatsu trudged along the great forests of Konohagakure no Sato along his pet-nin, Fenrir. Here he felt at peace with himself, that here he finally could clear his mind. The Genin sat against one of the larger and older trees, resting for a little bit. He knew he had to learn to unlock the gates, but how! He didn’t even have the first clue to how to use this jutsu. Suddenly an unfamiliar voice called out to him. “You must look inside yourself, Reiatsu.” the voice faded away and he looked around to search for who said that.
After failing to find the person he turned to his Wolf. “Um…Fenrir, did you do that?” He asked the wolf a bit skeptically. The wolf gave him the closest thing it could to a confused look and sat down on the ground, falling to sleep. Reiatsu sighed and gave up on his fruitless search, muttering. “What the h*** is that supposed to mean.” He closed his eyes and sat back into a meditative position against the tree. He began falling into a trance without knowing it, his mind slipping into the deepest recesses of his sub-conscience.
Suddenly he could see an encroaching darkness within his mind’s eye. He was falling, faster and faster, into a pit of nothingness. He tried to shout for help within the darkness but found that he could not make a sound. As the darkness came for him he lost all his vision faded, his hearing stopped, he could smell no more, his body went unfeeling, and even his taste was severed from him. He couldn’t even move, as the darkness seemed like it was strangling and engulfing him. The only thing that made him knows he wasn’t dead was the thought that he must be dying.
Suddenly before he lost conscienceness he was able to see the outline of a figure falling faster and faster towards him. He couldn’t pick out its features but it seemed very familiar, whoever it was. He heard the strange voice that called out to him once before. “Grab my hand and I shall save your or you shall be engulfed by the endless of abyss of ones own inner strength. Reiatsu nodded and slowly he regained the ability to move as the figure drew his hand closer to him. As he reached out to grasp the person’s hand, which he could now see was a boy about his age, Reiatsu could see his features more and more clearly. As he grasped the boy’s hand he saw what it truly was. It was like a mirror image if Reiatsu himself, only his features were demonic and his eyes were like that of a snake. The visage smirked as the grasped Reiatsu hands Reiatsu lost conscienceness, but not before he saw a strange flash of blue and red light emit form there outstretched hands.
Reiatsu woke up in a great and sprawling desert, stretching to everywhere the eye could see. Before him was great gate of red inscribed with words written in black. “Kaimon.” He read the word loud and he knew somehow that this was the first gate to be unlocked. His eyes gazed over at the many structures that dotted the landscape. He saw crumbled statues depicting those he holds close and those he hates in his life. There were broken own walls inscribed with Reiatsu’s greatest triumphs and failures on them. As he walked by the statues seemed to grow more lifelike with every step he took and until he came upon the gates and he could almost swear that these really were the people.
A chill ran up his spine as he came to the one closest to his gate, the statue of his father. It towered over him and it seemed like a, rugged, older, version of Reiatsu himself. His tan cloak almost seemed to flow in the breeze and his face was twisted into a demonic smirk as his eyes like two pits of black stared into Reiatsu. It seemed like the statue’s gaze was piercing through his body and peering into his soul. He gazed upon the halberd within the statues hands drenched with the blood of some long dead enemy. Reiatsu slowly turned away from the statue and shouted. ‘What am I supposed to do out here!”
As if on queue, once Reiatsu had shouted this the statue of his father came to life. The man lowered is halberd till the spear point of his weapon was inches from his neck. Reiatsu’s heart skipped a beat a she whirled around and saw the man give a hardy laugh. “So he led you here huh, well no matter. You won’t be able to get past the first gate without making me drop a single drop blood and someone as pathetic as you will never even be able to even touch me. He said with a hint of amusement in his voice. Reiatsu shacked as he backed away from the man slowly.
Reiatsu’s father raised his halberd and lunged toward Reiatsu with lightning speed, trying to cut Reiatsu in half with the axe blade of the halberd. Reiatsu tried to back flip out of the weapons way, barely escaping a gruesome death at the mans hands but got a slash across his chest for his troubles. He clutched his chest as blood dripped out of it and said. “This isn’t real…you’re not real. You can’t hurt me.” He said to the person he hated so much.
Reiatsu’s father gave out a hardy laugh, his eyes seeming to gaze into Reiatsu’s soul once more. “You idiot, this is your inner self. You have been thrust into your mind to open the celestial gates. If you die here, you die in the ‘real’ world. The only way for you to get out is to open gate and the only way to open this one is to make me bleed one drop of blood. But then again, idn’t that what you wanted?” He laughed almost demonicly and rushed at Reiatsu again, even faster.
Reiatsu’s father twirled his halberd around with only his index and middle finger, bringing it down on Reiatsuonce again. Reiatsu jumped and spin out the way, but not fast enough to stop him from making a long slash on Reiatsu’s arm. Reiatsu cried out in pain and said. “Getsuuga!” He launched into the air at high speeds, his body looking like a giant drill coming toward his father. Reiatsu’s father smirked and twirled his halberd in the air at extreme speeds causing the sand to twirl around him like dust into a mini-sandstorm. Reiatsu’s father only needed to sidestep a few feet of avoid Reiatsu and the genin couldn’t track his father through the upheaval of sand.
Reiatsu’s father jumped high into the air with a chuckle. He twirled his Halberd above his head once more and then came down at the sandstorm once more. He hit the ground with all his force using the Halberd and made shock waves blast Reiatsu away and made the sandstorm stop. Reiatsu slowly got up, cuts and bruises all over his body from the powerful attack. Reiatsu’s father smirked and said. So son, do you think you can beat your old man?

(Wow...that was a lot more then I expected, thanks. )
Reiatsu and his father clashed against each other for what seemed like years but it was truly only a few hours. Reiatsu was barely standing up, scars riddled over his body and his clothes drenched in blood. He watched as his father stood at opposite end of their battleground, laughing at him his inability to inflict one scratch on him. “You know what, how about we up the ante a little bit? It might motivate you to put up a decent fight.
Suddenly within the desert the opposite side of the Kaimon gates with words inscribed in black. Kyuumon Reiatsu panted harder and harder as the living statue explained. “Those means all you have to do is make me spill a single drop of blood and you shall unlock both the gate of life and the gate of rest. The again, what’s the point? You’ll never be able to even touch me. You were pathetic back then and you still are now. Such a dissapointment.” Reiatsu gave him such a fierce look that if looks could kill, the opposing warrior would be dead.
Reiatsu shouted at his father. “Shut up! You’re the pathetic one!” Reiatsu’s father laughed at this statement, after all he wasn’t the on bleeding to death. “I stronger then you think, I have people who I need to protect! I have people who I can’t let down and that’s what makes me strong. That’s why im going to be able to beat you!” As he did that, the demonic visage of Reiatsu that Reiatsu saw before appeared before the two gates in a sandstorm, unnoticed by anyone. Suddenly the demonic visage outstretched his hand into the air and shouted. “Kaimon, Kyuumon, I command thee to open forth and let your power flow!”
Reiatsu’s father smirked and said to Reiatsu. “Well then son, show me some of that power. Lets see if you can back up those words. Reiatsu growled and started to feel 5 times stronger and all his stamina returned to when he had started this fight. With his new found strength he stomped down on the ground and shouted. “Tsutenkyakuu!” As he did this massive seismic waves ripped through the desert toward the living statue and sand was blasted into the air. Reiatsu’s father was launched into the air and Reiatsu shot up into the air after him performing a “Getsuuga!” The techniuqe was five times fatser and stronger then before, shooting toward the man.
Reiatsu’s father only smirked and twirled his halberd above his head at extreme speeds, ready to bring it down on Reiatsu’s head to enact a killing blow. To his surprise Reiatsu went over his head and was able to grasp the Halberd’s staff with his right arm even within his Getsuuga. He whipped around a she shot past his father and tried to cut his head off. The man spun out of the way but when he landed on the ground a single cut was on his face and a single drop of blood rained from the scratch. “Lucky shot.” He muttered as his visage slowly returned to a statuesque form.
The demonic image of Reiatsu walked towards a smirking Reiatsu, his hand outstretched toward him. Reiatsu, there still remains one last test. Will use this power even though it causes you danger or will you forsake forever and abandon your quest.” He turned to the figure as the gates shut back up and a great pain flooded into him. He let out a groan and said to the person before him. “Of course I’ll use this power. I have too.” The visage smiled and grasped onto the halberd within Reiatsu’s hands. “Good, for your power shall soon be mine.’ The figure laughed and the desert disappeared in a flash of red and blue light.
Reiatsu awoke form his trance to see that everything that had happened to him in his mind had happened to his body. “Wow…that was awesome.” He said and examined his cuts and bruises. Slowly he stood up and whistled so Fenrir would wake up as well. “Come on boy, we have to go.” He ordered before Reiatsu and the pet-nin ran off to Konoha.
