2. Rakan Hibon

3. Well due to Rakan's old age, he would of meet various of people that utilized the Eight Gates. Though non of them exactly taught him how to use the Eight Gates. During the First Shinobi War he didn't exactly take part of the fighting but instead he hanged back and studied the way the Shinobi had fought from a safe distance so he wouldn't get hurt. Though he saw a group of ninja that specialized in Taijutsu and each could use the Eight Gates. Since Rakan wanted to know how to use the technique, he had wrote down notes of how the group trained and how they activated a Gate including the way their bodies had changed. Lucky for him, some of the Shinobi had risked their lives using the Eighth Gate of Death which allowed Rakan to collect information on the final transformation. When the war had ended, he took his notes and trained on each of the techniques he wrote down. There were plenty of techniques he had wrote down and would train on all of them to learn each of them and develop the techniques from the information he had obtained. It had taken him about 10 years to even open the first gate and another 15 years to be able to perfect it to a certain level and degree. Saying that, he would be able to open the final gate.

4. Well I actually want to make a whole new page for my Eight Gates. I've noticed that the normal page doesn't exactly go into full detail and kinda cuts it short when it could be loaded with much more information about each gate. Though not only adding more information to it, I would add various of restrictions to it which I believe would make sense but isn't listed on the page itself.

One would be, the Second Gate or above would actually cause the user to have the inability to use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu while in the gate. This would make sense seeing how non of the Eight gates users have shown the ability to use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu while using the second gate or above. I say the second gate because I believe Kakashi was able to use the Lightning Cutter while using the first gate which isn't too far fetched in my opinion.

Another would be Bukijutsu in a way. I think that when the user were to get to the Fifth Gate that they wouldn't be able to wield most types styles that use weapons but the own users body. This could be possible as the fifth gate does greatly increase the users speed where I would think that they would need to solely think about their speed and Taijutsu were another thing to focus on would make their overall performance lower than it normally would. This would hider Rakan's Sword and Ninjutsu usage when using the Eight Gates.

To give you an idea of what I would expand on would be reflexes. Having such speed would definitely make it hard for the user to have the reflexes they have shown while using the Eight gates. So that pushes me to believe that the users Reflexes are also enhanced along with Strength and Speed.

Additional Information: In the Fanon-Canon, people have agreed to have Rakan's history help to fill plot holes within the Naruto Universe which has been noted in his trivia section. So we know that Might Gai learned from his father but where would he have learned it? Well I plan to add in Rakan's history that he taught Gai's father how to use the Eight Gates since Rakan does want to spread his knowledge of techniques across the Ninja World. This would just fill in a small plot hole and allow me to add onto Rakan's long history when I get to that point in time.
