As soon as Shinra dove into the ground, Ieyasu began to test out his new speeds. His new speed preceded his expectations and threw him off course, diving at tunnel vision-inducing speeds randomly. His first leap he stopped short, balancing himself out trying to gain about his senses. The speed at which he had been going was enough to disorient him severely.

As he felt the earth beneath his feet however, he stepped back into action except there was still that 2 second delay from one leap to the next in his strides. He could already tell of the issues present with this technique and knew it'd be a while before he could possibly adjust to this distortion and that was just in the thought he'd be using the body flicker frequently. Theoretically however, by introducing lesser amounts of chakra Ieyasu could make himself slower albeit much more in control of the technique so that it would be much more applicable for use in battle instead of trying to simply charge about.

Still on the training wheels, he formed a revolution around the center of the training area with four simple leaps and bounds from one point to another. This diamond pattern was simple, yet gave Ieyasu time to grow familiar with this sensation. This left him up due to its predictability, although sometimes that's just what the enemy would do and this is what Shinra would be banking on in a direct fight for this technique to work properly.

Once Shinra sprung out from the ground and attempted his grab at Ieyasu, the careful planning and consideration that went into this offense was enough to catch the leaping shinobi. It would've worked even further if it weren't for the little malfunction that Shin had on his end. With Shin still holding onto the Akimichi as he was spewed from the ground, Ieyasu fell flat to the ground before getting back up and letting go of the technique before he accidentally hit himself. He stood up and slowly began to move into place, chakra beginning to flow back into him and make him noticeably faster in this little abrupt rhythm he had.

"Alright, let's go."

After saying that, Ieyasu would begin to assume the same pattern from before trying to adjust to body flicker. He'd probably try out more patterns that were increasingly complex down the line, but for now it was just basics for the two.
