1. What technique are you after?
 * The Eight Gates.

2. Who is the user of this technique?
 * Might Sai

3. How will they learn this technique?
 * Sai is a very talentless student when it comes to ninjutsu and genjutsu, just like his namesake. Though he devoted himself to taijutsu early on in the Academy, and even into his Genin years, he still found himself trailing behind his teammates, culminating in the loss of one of them on a mission to Kusagakure. The loss of this friend/teammate had profound effects on Sai and caused him to temporarily lose interest in his training. To motivate him, Sai's sensei taught him how to preform the Eight Gates Released Formation in order to encourage him to find his inner strength. He first preformed the technique during the Chunin Exams, when he was 17 years old, but was only able to open the first two. In the present day, nearing the age of 36, he has the capability to open all eight (though obviously, under normal circumstances, he'll only use the first seven). He uses this power to enhance his taijustu and against particularly fearsome foes.

4. How will they make it unique?
 * Now this is where it gets interesting. Sai is talentless beyond taijutsu, so to compensate for his weakness, he studied the medical journals in the Konoha hospital and memorized the location of every tenketsu in the human body (haven't added this to his article yet, but I'm working on it). His unique taijutsu involves striking these tenketsu points (not Gentle Fist, btw, but his own taijutsu style) and his Eight Gates techniques will be meant to hit these points en masse. The eighth and final technique (think Guy's Evening Elephant, though he won't have that one specifically; it will be his own technique) will be meant to close all the points at once, meant to aim at killing the target (though the Eight Gates will then kill him in turn).
