Training at the pool. (P. Aqua).

Aqua entered the training towers and went to the pool room near the bottom of the tower. The training pool was something he found when he first got to the village because he wanted to be somewhere with a lot of water to practice. Tenga was advanced more than Kiri and its towers were huge; but what really got Aqua’s attention was the technology that they had with their pools. They had ways to change the temperature and pressure of the pool along with making it bigger or smaller. It was the perfect place for Aqua to train. Since there was nobody in the pool and he had it all to himself he decided to take off his shirt and pants, leaving a skin tight suit as the only covering, and Aqua felt free. When he got into the pool he started his exercises to warm up. A few laps across the pool were easy for him and he was able to get them done in just a few minutes and get warmed up. After that Aqua then started his real workout.  Although his eyes were already accustomed to the chlorine in the pool he still wore goggles to make sure that he did not damage them.
This was a new one that he read about in a book here. He was going to try to stay underwater for a long period of time and do many exercises without air. The process made total sense because without air the muscles would be tense and would burn out faster than if he was breathing. With some of the chakra that he had he made his legs feel like anchors to the floor and he began with his routine. In the mist village Aqua could stay underwater for almost 9 minutes without coming up for air but since there was chlorine and other minerals in this pool it might be different. Aqua started with just trying to walk from one side of the pool to the other. it was hard because the water was so dense. The pool was almost 100 meters long and because anchors on his feet were so heavy because of the chakra it took him almost 10 minutes to finish one lap.
After he got done what that one lap he decided he was going to try some more chakra exercises for his genin exam coming up. He knew that he would have to learn some jutsu in order to finish the exam so he thought that if he could train to control his chakra better he would be fine and would get genin in no time. Since his element he was more attuned to was water he thought that he would try using his chakra to move the water in the pool around him. He figured that if he would touch the water his hands that were saturated with chakra he could manipulate that water and the water around it. After a little bit all the water in the pool would be his command only slightly, but still he could command it to do his bidding. It turned out that this feat was much harder than his thought because the although he could touch it with his chakra the water would still need more influence for it to move around. IT would take so long for him to finally get all the chakra in the pool to start working for him. Seeing as though there was so much of it that the feat could take hours, days, if not weeks to achieve Aqua realized that he wasn’t strong enough to move it around and he would have to come back with more experience to do it. Aqua saw that more people were coming into the pool as well and he knew that he wouldn’t have the room to do the training that he wanted here. So after a few more laps around the pool he decided that he was going to do some ground exercises for the rest of the day. He decided that he was going to pour chakra into his leg, controlling it, and running around the lap track that circled the building. With the chakra that he used with his feet it felt as though the lap only took a little time compared to when he did not use chakra. He thought that might be because the chakra helps to make everything that the ninja does easier and remembered what his parents told him about it. They said that there were few things that a ninja could do without chakra  and that there were few ninja that were great without it. Chakra allows the user to do great things that would otherwise be impossible to do. A ninja with great skill can do many things with their chakra and the important thing for ninja of the senju clan to do is use it to do great wood release techniques. Altough that was his calling he knew that wasn’t going to be the main thing that he was going to focus in with his combat techniques, but enough thinking about that.
After he did a few more laps around the building he thought that he had done enough training for the day (when he came to stamina, speed, and those aspects of being a ninja) and went to find the gym inside the ninja training building. As a student he knew that there was a special place for him to train but he could not fight out where .Running around the building he was able to get to the bottom floor of the building and find a directory of the building that showed him that the gym that he needed to  go to was on one of the highest floors in the building. He thought that it might be a good idea to run up the building’s stairs to get to the gym because although he thought that he wouldn’t do any more speed training he figured that he could at least do some strength training for the time being. He thought that he could put some chakra into his muscles and use that to make them feel like a ton of bricks for training. As he climbed he knew that the training was taking his toll from earlier as he already felt exhausted after just a few flights of stairs. He began to walk up very slowly up the flights, taking a few minutes to finish each set which meant that It would take him almost two hours for him to get up to the gym. Aqua didn’t care at this point. He thought that if he could do this with his time he would get the same amount and skill of training than if he just did the gym workouts so he was ok with it. With the ninja now feeling the pain he thought knew that the training was almost done when he saw that the floor that he needed to get to was only a few flights away. HE figured that he would try to run up the last few flights with the strength that he had left in his legs. After a few  more steps he went into a jog and after the flight that he was doing was done he went into a run, and after the run he went into a sprint. His legs were in pain and he could feel the soreness already tomorrow when he had finished his training, but that did not stop him. After only two flights to go he didn’t even think about giving up just that he wanted to finish and at the last flight he thought that he did a great thing with himself just then, and opening the doors to the gym he saw that he was alone. Aqua collapsed at the foot of the gym just as he got there. The mental strain that Aqua put on himself was great too and one that he did not realize when he was training. After about an hour of rest  Aqua woke up exactly where he was just an hour ago. He took up his body and realized that if he did any more training without a proper good nights rest he would not learn anything or get any stronger or better. As he took the elevator down to the bottom level and left the building he was ready to start again tomorrow, if only he didn’t have a genin exam to do.
