Red Nara

- Whew!

I paused at a bench, and after a little breathing, I unlocked the source and reduced the load of the seals from two hundred kilograms to a hundred. The chakra that ran through my body again brought a wave of vigor and made me shiver from the goosebumps that ran along the skin of my heated body.

Taking a towel, I wiped the sweat pouring down my face and upper body, then blew half a liter of water out of the jug that was there to make up for the loss. The workout shorts and underwear underneath that made up all my clothes at the moment were also soaking wet, but that would have to wait until after the scheduled exercises and the long-awaited bath.

Putting back the jug, I added another fifty kilograms to the weight of the seals and having already suppressed the source of chakra on my own, I began to perform the basic movements of the kata used by me Uzumaki style, gradually increasing the pace from very slow.

Given the somewhat one-sided nature of even the most appropriate exercise sets practiced in Konoha, this was the best way to engage almost all muscle groups without wasting time working on something separately, as with the same push-ups.

Normally, even with the hardest workout, I don't lose as much fluid by regulating my body's responses with chakra, but a few weeks ago I calculated and made a new plan to improve my fitness to get the best results from drinking chakra into my body.

Unlike the vast majority of chakra users, who are used to relying specifically on chakra to increase their body's capabilities in battle, I decided to take a slightly different route. It would be much more difficult and time-consuming, but the result promised to be corresponding.

When a shinobi feeds his muscles with chakra and increases their nominal speed and strength several times, there is a certain ceiling of endurance that these muscles can withstand. Exceeding it is possible, but it requires a truly great expense and often leads to unfortunate consequences for the body - such patients not infrequently ended up in the hospital with tissue destruction under the pressure of used chakra.

That's why there are very few shinobi and kunoichi with really great muscles, and almost all fighters are rather thin and wiry, except Akamichi and rare masters of taijutsu like Maito. I don't know a single person who has ever practiced purely physical fitness without chakra, as I've started to do. Of course, without special seals and a way to block chakra, this method is not very effective, but I have the ability and desire to do it.
