At the end of this weekend, it was decided by Hirotada that Ieyasu would be tested one last time to see just how far he had come with the Chōharite. Once again, the two Akimichi found themselves at the back side of their house. This time though, the two found themselves staring each other down. Ieyasu and Hirotada were doing something a little different today, other than simply smashing trees as Ieyasu had been doing recently as one could probably tell through the splintered stumps of trees that sat at the edge of the forest.

At its base, the point of this all was simply for Ieyasu to review over his proficiency with the Chōharite after a week or so of further training with the technique. In preparation of such, Hirotada himself was adorned in an old set of armor that appeared rusted, chipped, and scratched just about everywhere. This included a cuirass, vambraces, sode; etc. very similar to the one that was being tailored for Ieyasu at this very moment since the request for the armor came in a few days ago.

Fully prepared and ready, both crouched low and kept their hands out. Hirotada held a more common stance with his left side leading while Ieyasu did this with his right side leading.

Ieyasu began to form the Ram handseal and moved onto the last one which was specific to his clan's hiden before shouting out, "Baika no Jutsu!" A bit of a flurry went around his being and at that moment the test had began.
