Finally training again

The days had passed by since Zachariah had became a genin and he had been falling behind on his training today he thought to himself was the day he got back on track not wanting to fall behind anyone. Zach got out of his bed as he noticed the sun was already in the sky he headed to the closet putting on a pair of black pants and red zip up shirt as he looked at his new headband he still wasn't used to having it nor was he completely comfortable wearing it around all the time. Zach tied his headband around his neck making sure it wasn't to tight as he finished getting dressed he headed for the door walking outside he looked from side to side as if he didn't want to be approached by anyone Zach had heard of many new jutsu and techniques that were not extremely difficult but it seemed even some high level shinobi used. Zach was interested in the body flicker as he heard of it many times but knew he wasn't the most skilled in ninjutsu so headed to the training field figuring he would try it anyway. Zach's pace was slower today then it had been but he just walked right by people even if they tried to talk to him he didn't say a word as he finally made it to the training field it seemed not to many were there today maybe that would make it easier for him to learn this technique without anyone being there. Zach made the handsign of ram and a cloud of smoke appeared where he started he was halfway across the training field now looking turning to look at the cloud of smoke this body flicker technique felt strange even though it was his first time doing it definitely had its risk in using it in battle especially the risk of running head into someones jutsu. Zach shook his head as he made the ram hand sign and disappeared into a cloud of smoke again stopping where his first cloud of smoke had appeared. Zach started wondering if this technique was wondering how this technique could even be considered useful as it seemed he had trouble stopping and if the enemy had set a trap it would be over instantly. Zach started shaking his head but learning any technique and training for anything was worth it at this point Zach held up his hands starting running then made the ram technique as he disappeared in a blur again but as his speed decelerated and he turned around again it seemed he wasn't making any further then he had before maybe these were the limitations of this technique Zach wondered in his head as he stood there and put his finger on his chin wondering if he could even consider running back and fourth training as he shrugged because he had no one to argue with then he made the hand sign of ram as he started running again and in a blur of speed ended up halfway across the training field again as he stopped. Zach seemed like he was getting the hang of this jutsu rather easily now it wasn't so hard for him to stop now as he knew he had to think of the jutsu he wanted to train well he was here Zach sat down in the grass closing his eyes and meditating on jutsu he had heard about the Taijutsu Style: Shunshin. Zach figured it was pretty much the same as the body flicker technique except more for shinobi like him who excelled at taijutsu. Zach ran across the training field without using the body flicker technique he was having trouble figuring out how someone could do something like the body flicker technique without using any handsigns. Zach really had to concentrate on this as he didn't want to waste all his energy dashing back and fourth for no reason he figured he could learn far more if he didn't end up wasting all his energy on one technique. Zach starting running across the field without any effect again he had to think maybe if he pushed his body off of a rock or a tree he would get a greater start and would add his strength. Zach thought to himself why not lets give it a shot as he walked and got into a sprinting position as he places his feet so he could push off the trees. Zach had pushed off the trees and starting running before he felt his body vanish into a blur he had trouble stopping doing this way but Zach figured he had found the trick he then turned around and starting running before he looked back seeing a cloud of smoke where he started. Zach thought that these techniques did have a great risk versus reward ratio but figured they could have their uses if he had to make it someplace fast. Zach grinned as he continued trying to this Taijutsu body flicker technique. Zach stopped to catch his breath as he figured he most of been out here for a couple hours now but only learning two things that seemed similar to Zach this was unacceptable333333 to him as he continued using the taijutsu shunshin technique to go across the training field every time he did so it got easier. Zach had gotten used to this jutsu too as he didn't have as much of a issue stopping with this taijutsu shunshin technique now. Zach had done it one more time to reassure himself that he could do it as he turned around and started gasping for air but he wasn't ready to quit yet as he still needed to train more. Zach knew he wouldn't last long if that was all the training he could do he had to push himself past his limitations was the only way to train as Zach found himself lifting himself up off the ground. Zach had gotten up to his feet noticing that training dummies were already on the field Zach grinned as he made his way slowly over to them. Zach clinched his fists making sure his thumb was on the outside as he started punching the dummies counting with each time he hit one of the dummies as he continued he started throwing combinations of punches and kicks at these training dummies but he could not help himself he needed to improve. Zach had continued working on his taijutsu against these dummies as he ended up falling to the ground again. Zach thought to himself how pathetic are you and ordered himself to do 100 pushups and 100 sit ups. Zach rolled over so he could get in push up position his legs together his butt down his arms straight out in front of him. Zach bent his arms his upper body going down as he held that position for a few seconds before going back up and counted each number as his arms rose up again it “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Zach wouldn't give up he had to become stronger that is what he told everyone he had every talked to that power was everything Zach started thinking if he had been lying to himself this whole time or was it just that he didn't have anyone to see him here so he wasn't going to try or was it just obvious he had been ignoring his trainings since he became a genin. Zach growled as he was getting angry with himself and started to do push up s faster then he was before. 25, 26, 27 ,28. Zach wasn't even halfway to his goals for pushups but his arms were burning his hands were hurting and he wouldn't give his body a rest as he felt his arms give out but just got back up into push up position and started again. It had taken him long enough to get the push ups down as he rolled over and groaned as he felt his arms and shoulders burning then remembered he wasn't down yet he still had a hundred sit ups. Zach found a spot where he could easily do sit ups looking at this log that he could stick his feet under he did so and started this process as he made it a fourth of the way through he groaned as he could feel how sore his body was and that this burning sensation wasn't going to make it any better. Zach continued pushing his body he had to know his limits as he made it more then halfway through his sit ups before he started to wince it was clear he couldn't do anymore of them so laid there on the ground for a few minutes before he tried to stand his body making it clear that it was his time to go home and rest. Zach was angry with himself that he couldn't do more but left the training field in a hurry as he looked to see it was becoming night. Zach had made it home and fell right into bed without doing anything else.
