Shinra wanted to tell Ieyasu about what his father did. How after the mission, no matter the result, the main objective was failed and Shinra had spent over a week without food or water until he was allowed out of a dark room, only yo have part of his forehead slashed open and scarred over by his father. He wasn't aware of Ieyasu's father issues himself, but the two of them shared a kindred spirit in that awkward silence of daddy issues.

Then came the challenge to try and catch Ieyasu, who used a technique to make himself even faster. Sighing, Shinra used his technique to pull himself under the ground. Moving the earth around his body as he moved through it like a mole would, crawling through the stones. The genin had grown accustomed to using it to such a degree that he could move faster under the ground, at the cost of chakra, rather than on land.

It seemed  alittle unfair to try and keep up with someone who could well exceed normal shinobi limits of speed with a technique like that. But with his limited sensory abilities Shinra could track him and keep up while slowly lagging behind more and more. Shinra wuld catch up whenever Ieyasu would slow down and attempt to rise up from the earth below, reaching up with his hand to grab at Ieyasu's ankle, but as he was using two techniques at the same time, he lost control and the earth buckled uner him, spitting him out like a watermelon seed and onto the ground to land on his ass.
