Set of Kami



The "Set of Kami" (Kami no settei, カミの設定) are a saying for the six levels of separation from enlightenment. Devised by Ikuto Uchiha as a process of knowing one's own understanding, the Set of Kami are not jutsu, but rather personal revelations that one must have in order to fully understand a subject.

There are six steps of kami. Accomplishing the entire set means that the user has complete understanding of the subject in mind.

Once the user has competeted the sixth step, the user is said to have achieved "enlightment". This step is sometimes known as "Enlightenment Mode". Other than having increased confidence, full understanding, and absolute focus, Enlightenment mode offers no other benefit. This is commonly misunderstood.

Stages
"Kami kara hitotsu no janpu" (One Jump from a Kami)

"Kami kara hitotsu no sukippu" (One Skip from a Kami) "Kami kara 1 hoppu" (One Hop from a Kami)

"Kami kara ippo" (One Step from a Kami) "Kami no tobira" (Kami’s Door) Keimō: Ronrī-shin no ishi (Enlightenment: Will of the Lonely God)

Abilities
The set of Kami once completed, gives the user no benefit of the body, nor chakra benefits. The purpose of this technique is to hone one's mind and achieve enlightenment in a subject.

Mental benefits of this process include a self-esteem boost, understanding of a technique/philosophy/etc, increased focus, and an elevated level of creativity.

Trivia

 * Ikuto Uchiha created this process to help him focus and achieve Itachi's goals, which he wouldn't been able to do alone with his own personality and lazy demeanor.
