Masshiro could tell Naruto was impressed with the number of clones he’d made, but not nearly as impressed as Masshiro was. He had been hoping for just one perfect one, but had surprised himself. He did feel slightly drained, but didn’t let it show. He nodded as Naruto spoke and then ran off somewhere. He and his clones looked and then nodded sparring a little bit with each other, mainly Taijutsu wise. Then Naruto returned with several balls. Masshiro had a confused look on his face as his scratched his head. “Umm I don’t see the connection here.” He said curiously. Then Naruto explained in detail. Masshiro nodded finally getting the exercise. “Oh alright, now I get it.” Masshiro had done pretty good in the tree walking exercise, so he was sure this would go better. Masshiro picked up one of the balls, and focused. The ball exploded in his hands sending rubber flying everywhere. “I guess I’m a tad heavy handed with my chakra.” He said apologetically as he picked up another to try again.

Naruto had only really expected one with his first time but he'd really pushed himself it seemed making three. He had to be a little exhausted after that but he could spare his chakra for pretraining for the Rasengan. The basics didn't require much it was when you put them all together simotaneously that more chakra was used. He'd return to find the four Masshiros training using strictly taijutsu to fight each other. He must have really been more pumped up for this than he had originally thought. He handed him a ball now hearing that he was confused about how this all added up. He seemed to understand once it had been explained to him. Then his first attempt to focus and spin chakra inside the rubber ball failed miserably as it instantly exploded. "This might help Masshiro." He'd grab his hand pulling out a marker now. Then he drew the same symbol Jiraiya had drawn on the palm of his hand to teach him. "Helped me when I was learning since I had a short attention span so it was hard for me to focus at times. Focusing on that symbol helped me. You have clones so I will mark their hands also. Have them practice it with you so when you dispel them you gain their experience afterwards helps you learn faster." Naruto replied moving to draw the symbol on the clone's right hands now. Once done he handed them each a rubber ball. Then he stepped back so Masshiro could begin again along with his clones arms folded across his chest now he was sure he'd get it soon and he would find the water balloon portion much harder to handle.

Masshiro was feeling tired, but he wouldn’t let on he’d push past his fatigue and keep going. Seeing the ball explode kind of put a damper on his mood, but Naruto didn’t seem too perturbed by it. He watched him draw a symbol on his hand and looked at as did his clones. He nodded gripping the ball and focusing. His clones did the same. He started to see the ball move in his hand as he spun his chakra. He heard a pop as one clone’s ball popped, but he blocked it out focusing on his ball. He rotated his chakra faster, and faster. Another two balls popped leaving the real Masshiro alone. He kept rotating until his own ball popped. He threw down the rubber shreds, but he had lasted longer this time. “Hey I almost got it. This time for sure.” He eagerly grabbed another ball followed by his clones each starting the process over again. He was sweating, but he didn’t care he wanted to get this, and then something Naruto had said came to him. He stopped to dispel two clones instantly getting their knowledge. He and his other clone looked at each other grinning and started again.

Masshiro was persistent he'd give him that much. Naruto could see he was tired and a little fatigued yet he pressed on again forming shadow clones this time. Naruto would smile he was learning fast using clones he'd learn from his mistakes quicker finding out how to balance the right amount of chakra into the rubber and then how to spin it just right for the desired effect for the Rasengan. It wasn't long before all the balls popped but he would note the real Masshiro had lasted the longest out of them all. Then more rubber balls were retrieved by all as the real Masshiro encouraged himself ready for yet another attempt it seemed. "Don't give up you can do it Masshiro-san." Naruto would reply a sheepish smile on his face now. Then he'd see Masshiro dispel two clones and smirked he was starting to grasp the true potential of shadow clones and training like this for the harder and more advanced techniques. He'd smile as he looked away extending a hand to form his own Rasengan again such a simple technique now and one he could do in his sleep. Hard to believe he used to need a clone to do it or nine tails chakra mode. He'd always need a clone for his Rasenshuriken but it'd shown how much he had grown in those twelve years. Looking at Masshiro was almost like looking at himself it was uncanny. If he failed this attempt he'd make him take a break and show him his nine tails chakra mode he'd probably find that pretty awesome he was sure.

Masshiro nodded at Naruto’s encouragement, and continued to spin his chakra inside the ball. He heard his clone’s ball pop he dispelled the clone gaining its knowledge. He continued to spin his chakra inside the ball. He held up the ball for Naruto’s inspection his chakra spinning wildly inside, but the ball not bursting. Masshiro was ecstatic he’d finally got the first step down and his chakra seemed to mirror his excitement since the balloon burst. He ruffled his hair in anger. “Dangit I had it I swear, but I got excited and uhhhh!” He crouched down feeling a little sorry for himself. “Looks like step two might have to wait until tomorrow." He said lying on his back. So close just to lose it all at the end. “I’m bushed.” He lay there seeing the clouds skid across the sky. He sat up taking one of the balls and rolling it back and forth between his hands. He then spun it watching it twirl in the dirt, and that gave him an idea. “I think I might have it!” He placed the ball in his hand and spun and focused his chakra into it spinning with the ball. Once the ball stopped he could feel his chakra still spinning the sight of the ball spinning in his hand had made it easier to spin his chakra. “I got it Sensei look!” He smiled up at Naruto feeling triumphant.

Naruto continued to watch intently now eyes focused on the rubber ball with spinning chakra inside it. One by one the clone's rubber balls popped and the clones were dispersed. It came down to Masshiro now as he grinned he'd done it his ball hadn't popped yet and then Masshiro seemed to lose focus in his excitement and it popped. He seemed to berate himself figuring step two would have to be postponed until the next day. "Don't beat yourself up when your so close Masshiro-san take a break for now." He'd watch the Genin lay down now. He had determination and focus so he'd get it soon enough. He'd look to the sky now arms crossed against his chest now it was a nice day indeed and what better way to spend it training a student. Masshiro would go far someday with his help. Then Masshiro called out to him excitedly and looking back saw him holding a rubber ball watching the ball spin in his hand now his chakra spinning within it now. "See I knew you would get it. You're ready for step two now but that I'll let you attempt alone. Just remember step one when practicing step two." He would reply handing Masshiro a bag of water balloons now. He would find this step much harder than the first but he was sure with great determination and focus he would get it then he would be ready for a real Rasengan attempt without use of the rubber balls or water balloons.

Masshiro nodded as he lay back breathing hard. “Thanks Sensei.” Sometimes he wished he could be like Jade and Naruto. Limitless depths of chakra, but then he’d wipe those thoughts away quickly. He would get by on his own skills, no matter how hard it got. This was one of the few days there wasn’t a thick mist around the village considering it was autumn, but you wouldn’t hear him complaining. Masshiro was so excited, but he wouldn’t let this ball go the way of the other one. He saw Naruto smile at him and felt a great sense of pride himself. He stopped the chakra flow into the ball, and looked at Naruto. He looked at Naruto a little crestfallen he was sad that Naruto had to go, but he sucked it up and put on a brave face. “Alright thank you so much Naruto-sensei I promise that I will keep practicing and the next time you see me I will have mastered this jutsu.” He said taking the bag of water balloons from Naruto and gripped one in his hand. “I swear this to you Sensei!” He said with a proud smile.

Naruto would simply nod a sheepish smile on his face now. Masshiro seemed bushed now so it was good he made him take a break. Unlike Naruto his chakra reserves were much lower him only being a Genin. Naruto could go on for days fighting if you left out the need to eat and drink among other things not that he liked to brag. He always made sure to get the rest he needed eating and drinking regularly. "Good I'll hold you to that promise. Now then that's enough for training today. I must return to my village tomorrow so I will send word before the next time I visit again Masshiro-san." He smiled walking over to Masshiro now laying a hand on his shoulder. Naruto would pat it a few times before turning to leave walking over to pick his backpack up now. "Train hard Masshiro-san and never give up. Never go back on your word to others you hold dear to you and remember those that abandon their friends are trash." That said he started to walk off hands gripping the straps of his backpack now. Those were words he had been taught and lived by now. He trained often and never gave up on anything he put his mind to. He always kept his promises or well most of them and he never abandoned anyone even now he still sought to help Sasuke and bring him back to his home in the village. Seeing Masshiro had inspired him renewed his faith in the world and his dream of bringing the Uchiha male he called brother home.

Masshiro nodded pressing a fist to his chest right over his heart. “You have my word Naruto-Sensei.” He was glad that Naruto would be coming back, and that he would send word now he had something to look forward to. “I look forward to seeing you again Sensei.” Masshiro said bowing to Naruto, as the older man left. Masshiro smiled at the contact on his shoulder he really appreciated the touch his adopted father always made sure that Masshiro knew the depth of his pride, but his father couldn’t understand not being a ninja, but Naruto understood, and that made him and feel like he had a real comrade. Masshiro stood tall waving a hand with the water balloon as Naruto left. “Never give in, never give, up and never go back on your word!” He shouted as he walked with the water balloon in hand. He waited until Naruto disappeared from sight, before walking back to his home staring at the water balloon, so he would have to swirl the water and break the balloon. “Breaking things is easy!” He said happily.
