Barrier Gate Five Seals Technique: Castle Closing Eight Gates

This technique requires a scroll on which a blueprint of a particular area will be mapped. When activated, it causes four giant gates to emerge north, east, south, and west of the targeted area. Afterwards, the gates form a barrier around the area. This barrier has a very high durability, and anything that makes contact with it is immediately engulfed in flames. The only way to pass through the barrier unharmed is with a special seal. Upon the death of the caster, the barrier will be dispelled.

## Trivia [ ]

- The gates are based on the Four Symbols of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean mythology. The northern gate is based on the Black Tortoise ( 玄武 , Genbu ), the eastern gate is based on the Azure Dragon ( 青龍 , Seiryū ), the southern gate is based on the Vermilion Bird ( 朱雀 , Suzaku ), and the western gate is based on the White Tiger ( 白虎 , Byakko ).
