Ieyasu had a bit of a displeased look on his face from hearing his dad, but he knew well enough to hide it from him unless he was asking to be hit. So Ieyasu assumed his meditative expression and began to look into himself, visualizing just what this whole process looked like in the inside. It was a slow process, but Ieyasu believed it helped him. First came the idea of drawing on his own physical and spiritual energy, just imagining those two components meshing together to create the rising amount chakra he was about to discharge. Once together, the chakra began to travel from his chest to his left arm. In doing so, he felt the struggle of trying to redirect this specific chakra he made for the Nikudan Sensha to somewhere else, his body and mind simply wasn’t used to it. At the least, he was making progress little by little. Deep within his chakra pathways, he could feel the dense amount of chakra he put out trying to make it through the arm but he simply had never used a technique like this before. His arm wasn’t used to this, and so it didn’t know how to handle the chakra. With at least some experience from the first try, the chakra seemed to be able to travel further down his arm but just like last time it was stopped. Ieyasu was simply concentrating too hard on the matter, his focus breaking on the visualization breaking what was happening in reality and so as he thought about the chakra finally being in his hand: It was instead in his now inflamed forearm that was expanding in size. Yet again, another slap from Hirotada and the swelling went down just like before. Ieyasu grunted slightly, becoming a little frustrated but nothing enough to hinder his progress. He’d just have to rinse and repeat until he got the jest of how to expand his hand normally, efficiently, and quickly so this technique could be readily accessible in battle.
