The ninja world was full of new experiences, some good, some bad, some expected and some unexplainable; Amon suffered the second and last of the four as the last enemy struck ten blows. All the strikes were physically light blows but they were rapid and the experience Amon suffered was new and debilitating. Two strikes against each arm and leg and two into his chest knocking him falling backwards oddly powerless. Amon had never experienced anything like having parts of his chakra network attacked so severely like this but it rendered his limbs weak and suddenly he felt sick as he fell onto the ground on his back with a quiet boom. The sudden change from his gates being fully opened to vital points of his chakra network being slammed shut made him nauseous.
Then things went from bad to worse as Amon considered what he was experiencing the solid floor beneath him became wet and sludgy. Before he could consider what the new experience was the flow of mud overflowed covering him and suffocating him on the ground where he lay struggling weakly in the riptide of dirty ooze. This wasn't good, this shinobi had dropped him before he had time to react and in the moment he exposed weakness left Amon on the ground under the sludge to suffocate and die. Impressive as a formidable opponent but Amon was far from admitting his own death and defeat by the hands of a ninja. After all he wasn't ready to die and fade not just yet, and while he didn't have that much training or skills he had one last trick up his sleeve. Even though technically it was the same trick, just flashier this time around.
The problem with activating the next gate was trying to relax and calm himself. Amon normally took a moment to inhale deeply and relax but this time he had no air to breath. He worked hard to unclench his jaw and relax, quickly thinking of relaxing scenes, music, anything that he could that would help him relax. He thought of the Konoha the first day he arrived when it had been peaceful, he thought of the oasis in Kaze no Kuni where he had relaxed and quenched his thirst with lemonade, and most importantly he thought of home and his old grandfather. Still he grew woozy and began to lose consciousness, if only he had been a proper samurai this would have never happened. Just imagining himself in the magnificent armor and holding a true heroes blade in the face of these cowards, it made for an inspiring sight...
There was a burst of chakra that emanated from within Amon rushing through out his entire body travelling along the chakra network and healing the damaged tenketsu that had been damaged. The gate of rest opened wide and immediately Amon slammed his fists to the floor beneath him propelling himself up and out of the river of mud in a spray of filth as he flipped upside down landing with his feet to the ceiling. His arms snapped back jettisoning the mud from his limbs just before he made his move. With an even greater speed than before he bolted down the corridor ricocheting off both walls and the ceiling in unpredictable patterns driven by his fury as he gripped his blade in both hands as he propelled pas the hyuuga slashing at him in the hopes of cutting him in half as he flew by.
He would not stop to see if the attack had landed however as he bolted throughout the house in a race against time. Using the seconds gates even more impressive speed the swordsman flew throughout the building as he sheathed his blade searching for more innocents. If he could, he would save as many of them as he could carry out of the building before he left by any means necessary, even if it meant ramming his way through the walls of the burning building as it crumbled.

[2] Kyuumon (Gate of Rest)

Upon deactivation, fatigue settles and lasts as long as Gate was active, yields moderate strain, and restricts user to Taijutsu 'A' ranked and under for the remainder of the fatigue.
