Eight Inner Gates

The Eight gates are 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.

Opening the Eight Inner Gates requires some knowledge of Taijutsu. Those who possess a Kekkei Genkai cannot open gates beyond the interval of Five, inclusive. Gates 1 through 4 are the only options they have.
