Chapter 1

Naruto scowled as he left his newest sensei to peek on the woman in the hot springs.

You see, Naruto never had the luck of the draw on senseis.

First, there was Mizuki who used him to try and steal the forbidden scroll.

Second, there was Kakashi who just focused on the Uchiha and let the other two do whatever they wanted to.

And finally, there was Jiraya, a massive pervert who was spending more time looking at girls than he was helping him train. And even to get his help, he had to do something extremely perverted.

Naruto had decided that enough was enough that day and had just walked away, not even bothering to tell Jiraya, let him find out on his own once he finally stopped peeking.

Unaware to him, there were four particular women that were in the hot springs that day.

Yuugao, Anko, Kurenai, and Hana were the best of friends, each would stand up for each other during the tough times, and each would help each other out whenever they really needed it.

They also had won four tickets to the hot springs for correctly guessing the match ups and the winners of the matchups in the exam preliminaries.

That was why the four of them were currently enjoying their day in the hot springs.

Anko suddenly shot up and looked around.

"What is it, Anko?" Kurenai asked.

"Something's off," Anko said.

Normally, people would dismiss it, but Anko's intuition was always right, if something was off, she would be the one to catch it while the others were oblivious.

The four girls shot out of the hot springs and put their clothes on before acting like they were leaving casually, but, in reality, they were heading out to see if they could figure out what was wrong.

The four women jumped into the trees and instantly saw what looked to be two perverts at first sight.

That is, until they actually noticed that the old man was the only one perving and that the kid was just training with the old man.

They noticed that the kid who they had now identified as Naruto walk up to the old man before asking him a question, only for the old man to wave him off with disinterest.

"Poor kid," Kurenai muttered, having the most sympathy for the kid.

They then saw that the kid was starting to walk away without a second look.

Anko immediately sent a signal up to the other girls and had them have a meeting.

"I think that we should train the kid." Anko said.

"Why?" Yuugao asked with a cock of her head.

"Look at him and tell me that he has had decent senseis." Anko said.

The four of them took one look at the kid and sighed, it was obvious by the fact that he wore orange that he hadn't had any; they would have corrected that immediately.

"Besides that, I think that you would like him, Kurenai." Anko said.

"What makes you say that?" Kurenai asked.

"It's simple, he and the old man had the perfect peeking spot, but instead of peeking, Naruto trained his butt off and left the old man to it." Anko said.

Kurenai thought about that for a moment before nodding her head.

The four of them then rushed off to intercept the kid before he could get too far away from them and they wouldn't find him again.

Naruto was walking into the apartment door when he noticed that something wasn't right.

The trip wire that he had left at the door had been snagged and twisted, as if someone had got in. Naruto wasn't the one who did it since he always knew the way around it, so someone had broken in.

Naruto pulled out a kunai and started searching around the house and looking to see who got in.

He found the four women watching TV.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Naruto asked while bringing a kunai up.

Anko smirked and said, "I'm pretty sure that you recognize two of us and can probably guess the other two."

Naruto took a closer look and said, "The sensei of team 8, the proctor of the second exam, an Anbu, and an Inuzuka. So, then you guys are the four fatales: Anko, Kurenai, Yuugao, and Hana."

Anko was very impressed and said, "How did you know that?"

Naruto shrugged and said, "One of the most important parts of my pranks is intelligence gathering so that I would know their habits, and you four are famous enough that your names have gotten around."

The four girls were impressed and it showed on their faces.

"Gaki, how would you like to have senseis that actually taught you?" Anko asked.

Naruto looked at the four of them suspiciously, but could sense no ill intent from them.

You see, the rest of the villagers had lied to him so much that Naruto had found that he could detect a person's intentions, and these four were genuine, which made him even more confused.

"Why would you do that?" Naruto asked suspiciously.

"We saw what you did to your previous sensei, and we figured that you would need help, especially since you probably wouldn't be able to get a decent sensei." Anko said with a shrug.

Naruto cocked his head to the side and said, "How do you figure that?"

"Because of who you are. I went through the same thing whenever I was your age." Anko said sadly, she always had a lot of sympathy for the kid.

"Why did you go through it?" Naruto asked, curious to know the answer to his question.

"My sensei was the traitorous sannin Orochimaru. He took me with him and then left me to die later on. When I came back, everyone but these three hated me and all of my previous friends had left me since I became his apprentice." Anko said as she thought back to the days when she was younger.

Naruto looked at the four of them and still couldn't detect any deceit from them.

He sighed and said, "Fine, you four can be my senseis."

Anko laughed in delight while the rest of the girls looked relieved at the answer, they were all genuinely sure that without proper training the kid would die within the year.

Done! The next chapter will be the training while the chapter after it will focus on the exams.
