Intense training Pt.1 (private no kill)

Zanji  walked along the hall way of his home slowly pacing about his library door. He was trying what books to bring with him on his little training exercise but wasn't sure what. Perhaps start off with some basic books on intros into his new skills he wished to learn. He raised his right hand and opened his door and walked inside and began looking around his bookshelf.  He truly wished to learn about medical ninjutsu but he lacked taijutsu as well and at the same time his bukijutsu was complete shit. He grumbled and ground his teeth in annoyance at his dilemma.  He sighed and grabbed a few books and  placed them under neath his armpit and made his way to the hallway. He placed them in a small backpack and headed out to the training field.

It took him a bit to get to the training field but he was finally there. He was so slow he needed to get into better shape. Their was only one way to do that and that was taijutsu. A simple enough exercises to get him started would suffice. He tossed his bag underneath a shady tree and got down on the ground and began to do some push ups on his knuckles. It was a good start but he wanted more he needed to be stronger faster and would do everything in his power to get it done. He groaned as his muscles strained under the pressure of the push ups minutes later. He  was able to get one more push up in before he face planted into the grass.  His forehead was sweating slightly as the sun blazed overhead.  

He  rolled over onto his back and lay within the grass just enjoying the clouds passing by as he regained his breath. He smirked as he saw a pair of birds fly over head. They chirped happily as they flew past him and he closed his eyes for a brief moment.  "Nope gotta keep working gotta get stronger gotta be better if i want to achieve my goal." He  elevated his legs into a crunching position and began to proceed with his exercising routine. Minutes passed as his muscles in his stomach burned and ached as he continued nonstop to continue his work out routine. He Bit his lip as he  set his legs down on the ground  and gently massaged his gut. those crunches were a nightmare felt like he had been at it four a hour when it was only approximately ten minutes. He rubbed his eyes and yawned as he began to stretch out each leg carefully. It was about time to do some sprinting drills and get his stamina up.

He  looked about for a good marker for him to make at a end point.  About twenty feet away he saw a upturned log and smirked. That would do nicely. He  set himself down on all fours his back hunched upwards his right leg stretched out  while he held his left left slightly crunched but straight at the same time. He took a few deep breaths and took off at full speed running towards the log. Hi heart pounding loudly within his chest his lungs filling with air and exhaling.His mind raced as he felt his legs beginning to warm up and he skidded to a halt when he reached the log and sprinted back. He would repeat this process over and over again til he felt like his legs would fall off. He  took a small breather once again and wiped his forehead off with his sleeve as he was perspiring more and more. He would need to get re-hydrated soon. But that would come after he completed his exercise.

He slowly licked his lips and spat onto the ground. He needed to do more and more. His legs ached so though he was almost tempted to call it a day on the taijutsu training. He shook his head violently at the thought of quitting. He thought to himself 'no you can't quit now you need to keep going think about what mom and dad would say if they were here watching you train.' This brought about a somewhat renewed vigor and energy into him as he thought about his parents. He could easily imagine it his father  giving him a cold stern gaze as he watched his son take break after break. Never truly satisfied but his mother would cheer him on and maybe even bring him a little snack. He chuckled and walked over to a tree and sighed as he began to wrap his arm in bandaging. He was gonna start punching and kicking the tree b it was best to wear some sort of padding as the ones around the trees in the training field tended to be old and beat up.

He took a few deep calming breaths and started with a few light jabs into the mat tied around the tree. He smirked as he slowly began to pick up the speed of his punches little by little he increased his speed his hands steadily becoming almost a blur as he rapidly punched the mat. He finished strong with  a good solid  punch directly into the mat his arms parallel from each other. He fell to the trees trunk and slumped over and rested his back against the tree he could tell his taijutsu had greatly improved and he was most satisfied with the outcome.

Zanji awoke startled as he panted and looked about at the surroundings. He had He quickly looked up at the position of the sun and sighed  it seemed he had fallen asleep for a few hours. That was not good he should of been training with those hours instead of resting. he shook his head and  slowly got up back to his feet and  leaned up against the tree he was using as a punching bag.  He bit his lip angrily as he took a few deep breaths. his muscles ached less now but still they ached all the same. He got into a fighting stance and began to proceed with roundhouse kicks on his left leg. Hitting the tree as hard as he could with all his might. He needed to make up for lost time and quickly. He grunted each time his foot hit the hard trees surface the shook reverberating within his body.

He repeated this process of kicking with round house kicks on his left side. The tree quivered slightly with each kick. A few leaves being shaken loose from the kicks force as they feel onto the ground. His body wanted him to stop working out but his mind was set he would push his stamina to the absolute limit. He  panted hard as he took a moment to catch his breath and switch his stance and continue his barrage of kicks with his right leg now. He needed to hit harder faster than what he was doing before he needed to become stronger. He must become strong for his own personal sake especially if he wanted to fulfill his desires and fulfill his plans. There was also the fact that if he ever desired to become a rouge ninja he would need to make a speedy get away. What with his current speed hi would not get far at all. Heck chuckled to himself as he ceased his kicking against the padded mat on the tree. he had turned it into a complete lump.

He sighed and began to do rapid punches with each hand moving as fast as he possibly could. He wanted at least to even out the mat as most of the padding was now in the center. He narrowed his eyes in focused as he  punched the padding out of the center and back out tot he sides to allow him to continue to practice kicking.  His hand slipped though and he hit the a part of the tree the mat wasn't covering. His eyes watered in pain  and he recoiled and blew onto his aching hand. He winced as he slowly unwrapped the bandaging around his hand and saw a large bruise already forming between his  knuckles. It could of been a lot worse  for which he was grateful for at least. He smirked and wrapped it back up and looked up at the tree where he had hit it. The bark was cracked severely and went into the wood beneath it. Guess his taijutsu training was paying off after all. He cracked his knuckles excitedly at this brand new perspective and new found strength. He sighed and bent over and took his canteen and re-hydrated himself and head on back home feeling satisfied with today's training.
