Ieyasu was back to square one, the only thing that truly changed was his gain in experience from slowly coming closer and closer to achieving his one goal that he held currently: To simply make his hand bigger. Ieyasu breathed in deeply, his lungs filling up with fresh air before he slowly exhaled; the young boy repeated this three times over and with each one he appeared to grow calmer. Drawing into a truly meditative state, both in mind and in body; the young boy was now ready to take this moment on and finally get done with this simple step so that he could move onto the others and eventually learn the Chōharite.

In the silence, Ieyasu slowly began to draw on his energy. Slowly but surely, Ieyasu’s chakra began to amount before a steady stream of it began to redirect itself. Nothing else major was traveling through Ieyasu’s body, and he could feel the essential life force that was imbued into this chakra slowly traveling through himself as he focused on nothing else but it. So it traveled from his chest, and into his arm, from his bicep to his forearm… and slowly Ieyasu began to notice he hadn’t been slapped yet. His balance between the visualization in his mind and the reality of what was happening was perfect enough that he didn’t lose focus on what was real. Ieyasu felt this stream finally make its way to his hand, and from there he opened his eyes realizing the chakra was in the appropriate place. Using this Yang chakra in order to change his hand, Ieyasu expended it in slowly making the hand bigger. The smooth, and what had been small, hand began to grow in width and length, its size almost the size of Ieyasu’s own father’s hand.

“Yes…” Ieyasu whispered under his breath as a smile crept on his normally placid expression.

Hirotada turned around to his son, smiling a little as well before congratulating his boy, “Looks like you finally did well. Now let’s start practicing your efficiency with it, and from there we can move onto the other step.”
