## Overview

### The Lower 5 Chakras

The word Chakra, means "Wheel of Energy". It is in reference to the gathering nodes of energy found within the spinal cord. in Ryuujima, this expands to the greater chakra network. What differs with these main chakras is that they are larger more pronounced centers of energy that resonate with various forms of emotion and energy. These chakras, thought to be divine chakras, are much more robust than the typical nodes in the chakra network of outsiders. Even if a hyuuga were to block the general network of a Ryujima, they would still be able to access these chakra to induce various physical effects. A hyuuga would need to apply far more than one attack to shut these chakras completely and would need to do it 5-7 times. Thus they would lose the ability to emit their chakra, but could still access some forms of bodily control.

### The Root Chakra

When tapping into it, the red aura that is produced is thick and heavy. It is usually used to keep enemies at bay. It empowers the user by sending them into a sort of primal rage. Whatever they face can be sent barreling in order to incapacitate it as swiftly as possible. In return, attacks are less focused overall.

Once accessing the Third eye, the intuition and insight of the user is magnified. The third eye is the gateway to the crown and mastering this chakra can give space to the full spectrum of the Divine chakra system.

It is rare, though some users can indeed gain access to the third eye in different ways. That can be through seer force of will and life long dedication, or by way over another divine spirit or entity. While all Ryujima have higher levels of third eye activity than others, this mostly pertains to their awareness of the 7 divine chakras in the first place. Those who fully tap into these chakras are said to be the ones who have gained "mastery". At this level, one begins to understand the nature of both Yin and Yang chakra. As well as the very fabric of space and time. That is why Majin Ryujima, after attaining the full spectrum of his divine chakras, gained a pure connection with space time manipulation.

As one rises up the chakra centers, the essence of enhancement begin to differ. If witness by the eyes of a hyuuga, instead of a source of chakra at the pit of the stomach, typically where the Sacral would be, they would see multi colored nodes all up and down the spinal cord. When excited, they would see the ryujima shrouded in whichever chakra is currently in use. At times various users may embody several of these principles at once, causing their attacks to emit a mixture of red, orange yellow green and blue chakra. Once a Ryujima has mastered the heart chakra, they can draw directly upon their will and life force to make attacks even stronger, at the expense of stamina. Beyond that, the user begins to control their chakra at the molecular level with a sense of freedom that most would originally believe to be impossible.
