Tank's morning training

Tank Akimichi would walk into the training grounds in his red and black Akimichi clan gear. Standing in the middle of the training feild he would think of the spar he had with Kenshin yesterday and the indirect advice he was given to get faster. Tank began to stretch out by leaning down and touching his toes and then standing up and pulling his right arm across his chest followed by his left after that. With a quick twist of his hips his back would pop a few times and he sighed heavily. "Man I'm still pretty sore from yesterday." he would say before jumping up a bit and as he landed he would take off in at a moderate pace for a couple laps around the traing feild to warm up. As Tank ran around the feild a few times he would think of the work outs he was going to do. Tank started to break a sweat as he ran and that was his sign that it was time to actually get started. He slowed up and stopped next to a training dummy toward the edge of the feild by the woods. Tank then took a fighting stance and began throwing a combination of punches and kicks while manuevering around the dummy. His first few strike were jabs and then a low kick that shook the dummy a bit as he rotated his body around to the other side of the dummy. Once on the other side he would clinch the dummy at the top and begin throwing knees into it and it began to splinter off in small peices. With his last knee he would lift his foot all the way up onto the training dummy and shove off of it doing a backflip that landed several meters feet away from the dummy. Taking a full charge at the dummy he would cock back his right hand and throw it purposely missing his target and flipping forward to bring a hatchet kick down ontop of the dummy that again shook the dummy a bit. Tank felt good about that little wrinkle he threw into his attack and decide it would become part of his arsenal for now. He even thought that he might use it against Kenshin if they ever sparred again. 

Now standing next to the dummy with a nice sweat going that was soaking through his red and black shirt Tank would try out a technique he had not used before but he knew. The taijutsu shunshin was definitely a  way for him to get faster and most likely catch Kenshin off guard with how much faster he would be than normal. Tank saw another dummy across the the feild and wondered how fast he could get there without using his shunshin. He took off as fast as he could across the feild at an embarrassingly slow speed for a genin rank ninja even at his size. It took Tank nearly ten seconds to cross the feild at his top speed. he thought then to test his taijutsu shunshin he would stand still where he was and look at the dummy he had just come from. Flooding his body with chakra he would begin to use his shunshin technique and take off sprinting mush faster than before. If anyone was watching they could see Tank was moving at nearly four times the speed he had the first time crossing the feild in just under three seconds. Now standing near the dummy he initially started at he would notice that his shunshin had taken up a noticable ammount of his chakra.

Not wanting to waste any time he decided he was going to head back home and eat then come back right afterward. Tank planned on eating a lot of food too. Tanks mouth began to water and his stomach started growling. Walking toward the exit of the training ground Tank would think about the technique Kenshin had used to restrain him in their fight. His hair had grown out into five tentacles and grabbed each of his limbs. Somehow they had easily over powered him and Tank wanted to know how. He decided he was also going to read up on that technique to see if he could find a way to counter it if Kenshin ever used it on him again. Hitting the dirt road that led back to the village Tank relaxed a bit and listened to the near by woods and wild life as he walked enjoying the peace and quiet.
