Mikoto woke up in the middle of the night at first she didn't know what had caused her to walk up but she soon realized what it was. She wasn't a sensor Shinobi without her Byakugan but there was a large amount of chakra nearby. She activated her Byakugan and someone was on the lake, she slipped out of the window and made her way to the lake. Standing in the center of it was Naruto and in his hand was a ball of pure chakra. The chakra was so intense she had never seen anything like this before. He slammed his palm to the water and the Jutsu sent water into the air and came down on him like a freak flash storm. She watched as the ball of chakra formed in his hand once again but he didn't use a single hand sign. The Jutsu was amazing she had to learn that Jutsu but all it seemed like he was willing to teach her Taijutsu and he doubted he would teach her such a powerful Jutsu. She rushed off to find somewhere to practice the Jutsu.

As she rushed off Naruto turned in her direction a small smile crossed his lips. He wondered how far she would get before she asked for help. Naruto made his way back to his rock to clear his mind. When the sun rose he got to his feet he decided to check on the Gaki to insure that she hadn't killed herself. When he got to the place that she was training she had a look of intense concentration on her face and a small disk of chakra in her hand. He could see her mounting frustration as she worked to learn the Jutsu. As he stood there watching her, an idea came to him. He quickly vanished and when he reappeared he had a bucket of water balloons in hand. He took a couple of water balloons into the tree she was training under. He held the first one out in the palm of his hand and forced it to burst drenching the young Kunoichi below.

"What the hell!" Mikoto shouted looking up and Naruto couldn't help but laugh, "what is your problem, first you won't teach me anything cool and now...now...now I am all wet."

"Listen to you and how selfish you sound, what about me and all the trouble I went through to set up all this up," Naruto said rather childishly.

"Oh I am so sorry I didn't realize how much trouble you went through to climb a tree and pop a balloon," she said rolling her eyes.

"It was a lot more trouble than that first I had to get the balloons then I had to fill them up," he said pointing at the bucket of balloons, "then I had to get back and climb the tree without you noticing and do this."

He held out the second balloon and made it burst, "and the worst part is that there is no one to appreciate my hard work," he said in a dramatic tone.

Her eye started to twitch she couldn't believe this was Naruto, the man her father wouldn't even cross the man her mother loved was a complete idiot. She ran over to the bucket of balloons and threw it at Naruto. He caught it and appeared right in front of her, "boom," he said smirking. Her eyes fell on the balloon the surface was no longer smooth but it looked as if the water was turbulent and it was caused by his chakra. The balloon blew up in her face, she glared at him but he was gone. She walked over to the bucket and picked up a balloon. She was going to going to get him back.

Mikoto stared down at the balloon. He had spun his chakra in different directions to cause the balloon to burst. She did her best to copy what she believed he did and she was successful. She would wait until he was a sleep and she would get him back.

That night she slipped out of bed and made her way to the place where Naruto was, a rock, the same rock he always sat on. She couldn't understand how he was able to sit on the rock night after night the week she had been her he spent on the rock. She was right behind him. Slowly she reached out holding the balloon over his head building chakra in the balloon smirking at her brilliance.

There was a loud explosion behind her just as Naruto vanished in a puff of smoke. She fell forward tripping on the rock as her balloon burst and she fell into the water, "nice try but not good enough," she glared out from the water at she was going to wipe that smirk off his face. He tossed her a rubber ball, "oh and for punishment for your failed attempt the bed is mine and you have to sleep somewhere else...but not on my rock...it's my rock."

She watched as he made his way back to the cabin. She went to sit on the rock but found a toad the size of a large dog sitting on it, "sorry Gaki you have to be worthy to sit here," the toad said.

"Where the hell am I supposes to sleep!?" She shouted.

"There is a nice tree," the toad replied. She rolled her eyes as she walked over to the tree and sat down. She looked at the ball that Naruto had given her. He had made a ball like this explode just as easily as he had made the water balloon she wondered if he had done same thing. She held it in her hand focusing her chakra, the ball expanded slightly but that was. She tried it again but she got the same result. She decided to pump more chakra into it but still nothing happened. She threw the ball in frustration before closing her eye and tried to go to sleep.

When she woke up in the morning from a horrible of sleep, she was surrounded by rubber balls. Her eye twitched, she couldn't believe how immature he was. She picked up one of the balls and made her way to the rock Naruto was always.

"How did you blow this up?" Mikoto asked holding up the ball.

"You didn't put enough chakra into it," he answered.

"I did put more chakra into," she said pouting.

"Not enough," he replied coolly. She held it out and forced more chakra into the ball. The ball sprung a leak, and she pouted slightly. All she managed to do was pop a hole in it where he made it explode just like the water balloon. But it was progress she would have this down in no time.

Over the next few days Naruto watched as she tried to blow up the ball. She had fallen asleep under the tree and Naruto picked up her hand it was burned from her chakra, he placed his hand on hers healing it. He then placed his palm on her forehead, "isn't that cheating?"

"I just gave her some of my chakra she has been working at this for the last three days nonstop,"

"She is a little arrogant...but other than that she is nothing like Sasuke...personality wise she seems more like you," Kakashi said watching him out of the corner if his eye.

"She is Sasuke's daughter if that is what you are asking...but I knew she was pregnant before Sasuke...do you remember her visit to Sunagakure about sixteen years ago?" Kakashi nodded, "I was there and during her stay she confided in me her fears that she would turn out like Sasuke."

"You never cease to amaze me," Kakashi replied.

The next morning Mikoto woke up beneath the tree, the pain in her hand was gone, she looked down at her hand someone had healed it. She got to her feet and picked up a ball to try again. And this time she did it she blew the ball up, "you should be honored Naruto is teaching you that Jutsu, his father's Jutsu. Only five Shinobi have ever known the Rasengan and only two still live, myself and Naruto."

"Why would he allow me to learn his family's Jutsu?" Mikoto asked.

"That isn't something I can answer," Kakashi said in his usual board tone, "but since you have mastered the second step I shall show you the third step."

"How many steps are there?" Mikoto asked.

"Four...but you will only learn three, Naruto is the only one who has passed the third step," Kakashi answered, "with this third step you will learn to control the power."

She watched as he formed the Rasengan in the palm of his hand the chakra was nowhere near the intensity of Naruto's. Both Naruto and Kakashi were different than she thought. She figured Shinobi of this caliber would have been arrogant cold just like her father but that wasn't the case even after she had tried to kill him Kakashi was still helping her.

"Thank you," was all she could say and Kakashi placed a hand on her head ruffling her hair before walking off.
