The Inner Gates exist in order to limit the flow of chakra within an individual's body. Ordinarily, 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 Gates in order are; The Mind Gate(lvl3), The Recovery Gate(lvl3), The Limitless Gate(lvl6), The Aura Gate(lvl11), The Final Gate(lvl17).

Only one gate can be opened per turn, cannot be stacked. Opening a new gate will cancel the effects of previous gate.
