The powerful shinobi looked over to his son before he burst out, “This, is the Chōharite. You will hold this power in just the palm of your hands.”

Hirotada sat down on the grass, tapping the ground beneath Ieyasu to gesture that he should sit down. Once both were down on the ground, Hirotada explained more, “Before you begin the trial-and-error part of learning a jutsu, it’s best to first know just exactly how it works. For that, I’m going to be explaining and teaching you some things about chakra and how it works and specifically how it helps make the jutsu as it is. The first thing you need to understand is nature transformation, this is using a nature of some sort and converting your chakra to that form for some use or another.

“The one that you and I both have is Yang Release, specifically a nature that governs the forces of our physical energy. I’m sure you’re already aware of the difference between physical energy and spiritual energy, surely they taught that in the Academy. Anyway, the basis of our techniques utilize this nature transformation by using Yang Release to change our form in specific ways. For Human Bullet Tank, we expand the adipose tissue in our abdominal region to sort of ‘expand’ ourselves. That’s basically how that works, with basic shape transformation as well to kind of give us that round shape when we enter that form.”
