As a fellow member of the Hōzuki Clan, the 2nd Mizukage saw that Maomi had the potential to learn the jutsu, since she had already mastered the clan's other techniques. But as stated above, he didn't really think she could handle it. But once she showed him her skills in the clans jutsu, he saw that she might be different than other clan members he had previously tried to teach the technique. So, he began teaching her the basics and trained her when he could.
