Augmented Speed

**Augmented Speed** (速度, "*Sokudo*") is the rate one can move when applying chakra or using jutsu to increase one's speed. Character base speed is ranked in six tiers from 0 to 6, zero being the lowest and six being the highest possible speed. Jutsu are also ranked on the same scale as characters are with regard to speed.

Please note that choosing one of the 6 tiers for your Character pages must be done for your character's augmented speed by techniques, not their natural speed.

### **Tier 0/6: Average Human Movement**

The lowest tier—most full-grown humans run at this top speed which is a good 8.3 miles per hour, though with low stamina.

1. A trained runner
2. An actively fit person
3. A fully grown man
4. A full grown woman
5. A fit teenager
6. A small child

### **Tier 1/6: Trained Combatant**

Ninja are generally quick in the first place; genin are able to keep up with a train or outrun a horse.

1. Speed where your base acceleration is like a Body Flicker
2. An excellent shinobi like Rock Lee or Might Guy, weights removed;
3. An experienced shinobi with a honed body and genetic advantages
4. An experienced shinobi with a honed body
5. A novice shinobi with intense training
6. A novice shinobi

### **Tier 2/6: Ultra-Conditioned Body**

Using limited chakra or physical training to enhance one's speed gives the user of this tier the power to move at speeds difficult for the eyes to see.

1. Speed gained from opening the Eight Gates up to the Fifth Gate
2. Speed gained using super chakra enhanced Body Flicker
3. Speed gained from many years of strenuous physical activity under odd conditions (example: a Sage outside of Sage Mode would have a more conditioned body than before they underwent training)
4. Enhanced muscular physique plus Body Flicker or speed influenced by Tailed Beast chakra (no tails included)
5. Speed gained by artificially enhanced muscular physique
6. A basic Body Flicker

### **Tier 3/6: Chakra Augmentation**

Fighters harnessing elemental releases who use said power to augment their speed. Such is rather chakra-taxing. At this point it is nearly impossible for the eyes to keep up with this person. The exception is biju tails speed. Certain jutsu that command or revoke physical laws too fall into this category.

1. Jinchūriki using nine tails of chakra power respectively
2. Speed enhanced by the highest tier of the Lightning Chakra Armor Technique
3. Jinchūriki using six to eight tails of chakra power respectively
4. The Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates
5. Sage Mode
6. Jinchūriki using three to five tails of chakra power respectively
7. First level of the Lightning Chakra Armor Technique (using lightning as a medium) and other elemental vitalization techniques
8. Jinchūriki using two tails of chakra power
9. Speed using fire as a medium
10. Speed of sound
11. Speed using wind as a medium
12. Speed using water as a medium
13. Jinchūriki using one tail of chakra power

### **Tier 4/6: Space—Time Continuum**

People in this tier can travel at the speed of some Space—Time Ninjutsu.

1. Amenotejikara (Sasuke replacement Space—Time Ninjutsu)
2. Flying Thunder God Technique (initial level) and Summoning Technique
3. Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates
4. Kamui intangibility
5. Kamui with two eyes & Shin Uchiha's Space–Time Dōjutsu
6. Kamui with one eye (mastered)
7. Speed of actual lightning (+ Susanoo activation)

### **Tier 5/6: Supernatural Augmentation**

Such supernatural methods allow for incredible acceleration. This type of speed-use would require considerable durability and or special expertise to execute.

1. Yomotsu Hirasaka (Kaguya Ōtsutsuki portal jutsu)
2. Six Paths Sage Mode & Nine-Tails Chakra Mode Combination
3. Eight Gates Released Formation
4. Nine-Tails Chakra Mode
5. Complete Body—Susanoo Technique & Kurama Tailed Beast Mode
6. Truth Seeker Orbs
7. Six Paths Sage Mode
8. Ten Tails Jinchūriki or God Fruit Consumption

### **Tier 6/6: Energy & Speed of Light**

People in this Tier can travel at the speed of light or energy similarly to the Heavenly Transfer Technique. It absolutely requires a life-threatening drawback (in most cases) and or extreme durability similar to the Fourth Raikage and Tsunade. Eyes like the Sharingan can keep up with such movement but response time is another issue.

1. Amenominaka (Kaguya Ōtsutsuki realm warping)
2. The Heavenly Transfer Technique
3. Edo Madara Uchiha reacting to the Heavenly Transfer Technique ambush
4. Moving with light as a medium
5. Mass of energy or spirits (not necessarily faster than Space—Time Ninjutsu or other supernatural methods)

## **Trivia**

* You can increase a technique or character's Tier by adding Tiers together. For example, a character in Tier 3 can add a technique from Tier 4 in order to elevate their technique or character speed to Tier 5. The only tier that doesn't work on is Tier 0 added with any other one.
* Nature energy and Tailed Beast chakra increases the speed of all abilities by at least one Tier. The exception to this is Tier 1; simply because you add nature energy to your technique in Tier 1 does not mean you elevate to Tier 0.
