Description: This forbidden Alcohol technique is perhaps the ultimate Alcohol Release technique alongside with (Shuton: Jōzōjo Kantoku) - Alcohol Release: Brewmaster Fury. Unlike Brewmaster Fury, which focuses on a more Ninjutsu application of Alcohol directed externally the Awakening of the Stumbling Soul directs the Alcohol internally, on the user. This technique is almost entirely focused on the supplementary aspects of the element which are coupled with influence from Drunken Fist, Alcohol Release: Splitting Headache, and the Eight Inner Gates themselves. Unlike the Eight Inner Gates which focus on releasing the inhibitors on the user’s chakra the Awakening of the Stumbling Soul focuses on releasing the user from their own inhibitions through the use of careful application of alcohol chakra infusing the user with greater power and benefits, of course with greater and greater drawbacks as the quantity of alcohol increases. Similar to the Eight Inner Gates, the Awakening of the Stumbling Soul uses Alcohol chakra to achieve certain Blood Alcohol Levels which are each individually stated below. This technique of course in no way relates to the Eight Inner Gates except for inspiration (each gate would be the inspirational equivalent of a Blood Alcohol Level). The rank, chakra cost, and self-afflicted damage from this technique depend on the level of alcohol infused into the blood stream. Essentially the premise behind the benefits of these states is a triangular shaped function. The benefits will gradually rise and peak and then decline and cause negative and lasting side effects one would normally experience from Alcohol consumption, except on a potentially greater degree because of the significantly increased potency and quantity from the usage of chakra.
Tosui – Tosui, or Euphoria, is the first level induced by this technique. This first state represents the more moderate effects of Alcohol consumption. Through the careful usage of Alcohol Chakra the user releases a moderate amount of alcohol into their bloodstream. While in this state of intoxication the user’s inhibitors are nearly completely released allowing them to have full muscle relaxation increasing their abilities and efficiency in combat as well as numbing their pain receptors to become completely resistant to the pain caused by cuts, bruises, and such. The user gains similar effects to that of Drunken Fist. Their taijutsu becomes highly erratic, unpredictable, and explosive as their inhibitors are completely released. In addition to this the user gains a +10 damage increase to their taijutsu capabilities due to their alcohol induced euphoria.
Fukai – Fukai, or Dysphoria, is the second level induced by this technique. This second state represents the higher effects of Alcohol consumption. Through the careful usage of Alcohol Chakra the user releases a more highly concentrated quantity of Alcohol into their bloodstream and entire body. While in this state of intoxication the user’s inhibitors are completely released allowing for total muscle relaxation increasing their abilities in close quarters combat significantly while also numbing their pain receptors to a very high level allowing for the near complete suppression of pain from lacerations, stab wounds, and deep skin cuts. In the second turn of intoxication the user gains the effects of Drunken Fist allowing their taijutsu to become erratic and unpredictable while also gaining a +20 damage increase to their taijutsu capabilities. While under the effects of Fukai for the turn, the state of intoxication to the user will experience a further numbing of their pain receptors allowing them to in addition become resistant to burns, electrical shocks, and frostbite.
Teiden – Teiden, or Blackout, is the third and final level induced by this technique. This third state represents the near fatal effects of Alcohol consumption. Discarding care for applying the Alcohol Chakra the user floods their bloodstream and entire body with highly concentrated quantities of Alcohol. In the first turn of intoxication the user’s inhibitors are entirely released allowing for absolute muscle relaxation and also allowing the user’s taijutsu movements to become akin to that of Drunken Fist granting them a +30 damage increase to their taijutsu capabilities. In addition to this the user’s pain receptors are numbed to the point where they cannot feel the effects of lacerations, stab wounds, deep skin cuts.
Alcohol Taijutsu; This ability is gained in the fourth turn of Fukai and Teiden. This allows the user to, at their discretion, release small bursts of pure alcohol from their strikes be it kicks, punches, headbutts, etc. The alcohol released is unranked and does not carry many serious intoxication side effects but can be used in other ways, such as using it in combination with fire techniques. This is purely a freeform act and does not carry ranked strength or individual chakra cost.
Note: Awakening of the Stumbling Soul can be used once per battle. And, this technique only lasts for six turns, can be turned off at will. As two turns passes, the user advances further into one of the above states.
Note: Pain suppression does not actually mean resistance to the damage. It only means that the user will not feel the mental and psychological effects of the pain until after the effects of the induced state wear off. So if the user suffers a burn wound while in Fukai’s higher resistance levels they will not feel it until after it wears off. They will feel this pain after it wears off as well as the listed negative side effects.
Note: When this technique is ends After the full useage, the user will become basically unconscious, they'll be unable to perform any techniques of any nature, above B-rank for four turns, and their speed will drop by three levels. Also to use techniques, the user must spend an additional +20 chakra points.
Note: This technique can be ended prematurely and if so, they'll only receive half of the drawbacks, i.e unable to use B-ranks and above alcohol tehcniques for two turns if the first sage is used. If the second stage takes effect, the user will have a bad headache dropping their speed by two levels.
