Chapter 4 ( new )

For the next two days, I have the following tasks to complete: research the Eight Inner Gate, mutually multiplying explosive tags, and the seal of the Uzumaki clan.

QUINTAGRAMS (a five-clue crossword with one important difference: there is no grid) My Sensai was afraid when Mizuki Sensai talked about seals, so I declared that seals was terrifying.

That makes me wonder how scary it may be—perhaps I'll die trying to use it? In any case, what could be more dangerous—like it couldn't possibly destroy the village? Correct?

Oh, I forgot about Clown Jutshu. He needs to work on it to make 2000 Clown to frighten Sasuke. Sakura will then reconsider Sasuke, and I might have a chance with her. I can attempt this, at least.

Her appearance and temper appeal to me as well; she reminds me of a magnificent Sakura Tree.

Okay let's focus on my work then I can think about all these first Multiple Shadow clone Jutshu , Naruto misout some details which I taught when he was reading the real scroll.

To use and master Shadow Clones, one needs enough chakra to be evenly distributed and used by each Shadow Clone. Making one Shadow Clone uses up half of one's chakra reserves. Making two will break the reserves down into thirds.

Therefore To master this Jutshu, a significant level of chakra control is needed.

For now, just utilise all of your chakra and refill; it's the second best approach. After vacations, I will go ask Iruka Senai for that.

Let's begin with several Shadow clones of Jutshu and end at 1001 Shadow clones, which is a greater number than before.

Then I read about EIGHT INNER GATE .

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The Eight Gates exist in order to limit the flow of chakra within an individual's body.

Normally, individuals can use no more than 20% of their body's full potential, the brain's way of protecting the individual from harming their body through overexertion.

With training, individuals can learn to remove these limiters, referred to as "opening" the gates.

With each opened gate, individuals are given access to more and more of their body's chakra, thus increasing their physical strength and speed.

The Gate of Opening (Kaimon), located in the brain's left hemisphere, removes the user's mental inhibitions. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the Front Lotus, a technique that tires them afterwards.

The Gate of Healing (Kyūmon, The Gate of Rest), located in the brain's right hemisphere, increases the user's physical strength. This has the added effect of re-energising the body, enabling it to rapidly recover from exhaustion.

The Gate of Life (Seimon), located on the spinal cord, turns the user's skin red when opened. Other effects include the user's pupils disappearing, their hair standing on end, and bulging veins all over their body. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the Reverse Lotus. The chakra released is enough to create a buffer zone to allow safe passage through severe adverse weather.

The Gate of Pain (Shōmon) is located on the spinal cord. When user opens this gate as he's about to use the Reverse Lotus, seemingly to increase his speed; as he performs the Reverse Lotus, his muscles start to tear.

The Gate of Limit ( Tomon, The Gate of Closing) is located in the abdomen. This gate after delivering the final blow of the Reverse Lotus, seemingly to increase the user strength.

The Gate of View (Keimon,The Gate of Joy), located in the stomach, increases all the user's abilities. The power that emanates from the user is enough to displace surrounding bodies of water. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the Morning Peacock, wherein the user's punches are so fast that friction with the air produces flames. Opening this gate has sometimes been shown to create an aura around the user .

The Gate of Wonder (Kyōmon,The Gate of Shock), located below the stomach, causes the user's body to secrete a blue sweat. The sweat immediately evaporates, creating an aura around the user that can be mistaken for chakra. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the Daytime Tiger, a single punch that creates a pocket of compressed air. After opening this gate, user muscle fibers rupture, causing him intense pain if anyone touches him.

The Gate of Death (Shimon) is located at the heart. Users open this gate by puncturing their chest with their thumb in order to direct the chakra there. While open, the user's heart pumps at maximum speed, granting them power a hundred times greater than they are usually capable of, far beyond that of the Five Kage. A "Steam of Blood" ( Chi no Jōki) is emitted from the user's pores and hair, resembling a flaming red aura. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the Evening Elephant . The eighth gate causes the body to continually heat up until it's been cooked from the inside-out, reducing the user to ash.

Using the Eight Gates is described as a double-edged sword, empowering users by sacrificing their own health and safety; such risks have caused the Eight Gates to be likened to kinjutsu.

Also at a minimum, the user will be fatigued, which can leave them vulnerable to attack if this occurs during combat. In more extreme cases, muscles can tear and bones can break from the strain, which can be treated with medical ninjutsu. When opening the eighth and final gate, users will die as a consequence, their bodies being unable to survive the immense amounts of chakra flowing through them.

This makes me wonder: if a technique this potent can kill its user but still fails to frighten Sensai, then there must be more danger in that EIGHT TRIGRAM seal .

Alright, so I shall practise the seal with the appropriate caution and attention.

I'd best start working out and doing training for my body since I have to train it in order to master the Eight Inner Gate.

My basic goal is to run 13 km and perform 100 pushups and 100 pullups .
