The Third Hokage knew Danzo would put a spy in Class K. The old war hawk would not let a bunch of foreign kunoichi run around the village. The Root leader would put tails on the kunoichi from Class K. While Hiruzen had the Uchiha compound turn into dorms, Danzo try get the Hidden Village Council to remove Anko Mitarashi from Class K. But, Anko did not want to join Class K. She had other things to do then listen to a sixteen old brat.

The Third Hokage looks at the picture of the spy. The young woman has pale skin with black hair. She has black eyes that match her hair which is shoulder length. The young woman is wearing a black midriff shirt with black pants. She wearing a short sword on her back. The old man say one thing about the kunoichi is she a looker. The Third Hokage looks at the kunoichi's name.

Hiruzen thinking, "Saya, I have a feeling that is not your real name. Danzo gave you that name for this mission. Now, who are you spying on in Class K."

The old man sighs, he is getting to old for this job. Hiruzen rubs his nose as he thinks of someone to replace him. The Hokage knew three people that could take the job right way. These people have their problems but they could run Konoha with no hassle. But, his two students on the road and would be difficult get in touch with them. Danzo might take over before those two can get to the village.

The Hokage thinking, "If Tsunade and Jiraiya turn down the title of Hokage. I fear for the future of Konoha."

A knock is heard on his office door which broke Hiruzen out his thoughts. The doors open to reveal Inoichi and Kakashi. The two man steps in front of the Hokage's desk. The old man is surprise to see the two men in his office. Inoichi clears his throat as Kakashi reads his book.

Hiruzen ask, "Is there something I can help you with?"

Inoichi reply, "Kakashi and I been talking about Class K. We do not want Naruto Uzumaki teaching my daughter or Kakashi's student. We think that Naruto is too young for such task. I want a more mature teacher then someone like Naruto teaching Class K."

The Third Hokage raise an eyebrow, "You know the choice is made by the kunoichi. If your daughter or student wants to take Class K. Then they have the right to take the class. Do you think that Naruto would not have help running the classroom?"

Kakashi closes his book, "Who is helping Naruto to teach Class K?"

Hiruzen reply, "Mikoto Uchiha is going aid Naruto with the kunoichis. She is smart and strong enough to handle a bunch of rowdy kunoichis."

Inoichi bows his head, "Good choice, sir. I will talk to my daughter about taking Class K."

As Inoichi and Kakashi left the office, a frown appear on the Hokage's face. He knew that some shinobi would be against Naruto teach Class K. But, two of his most loyal shinobi are questioning his actions. Hiruzen still feels the sting of the Uchiha Clan Massacre. The old man wonder how many of his shinobi are still to him. He need to step down from Hokage but Danzo would jump at the chance to be in charge. Hiruzen need get in touch with Jiraiya before time runs out.

Naruto is at the school with Mikoto going over who is coming to Class K. They were in the old class room that Naruto was a student in. Mikoto telling stories about how Kumo Shinobi were very hard head. The young shinobi nods his head while frown from on his face.

Naruto ask, "Do you think that Kumogakure might try something while they are here?"

Mikoto reply, "I do not think they would but I am more worry about the kunoichi from Iwagakure."

Naruto rubs his nose, "We need to be careful around them. I do not want a war started because couple hot heads kunoichis."

The door to the classroom opens to reveal a Konoha Kunoichi. She wearing the standard attire of a Konoha Shinobi. The young woman has long black hair with red eyes. Naruto wonder why this young kunoichi doing here. Mikoto and Naruto are still going over who is coming to Class K.

Mikoto ask, "Is there something we can do for you, Kurenai?"

Kurenai answer, "I would like to know how many Kumo Kunoichi are coming to Class K."

Naruto flipping pages in his report, "There will be four Kumo Kunoichi coming to Konoha. Their leader has not send the information on them, yet. We do not know their names. We are pretty much in the dark."

Kurenai sit down on the desktop and let out sigh. Mikoto and Naruto share a look before Mikoto walk over to the younger woman. She sit beside her and looks at the tired face of Kurenai.

Kurenai looks at Mikoto, "I wonder sometimes if I made the right choice to teach a genin team. You know a became jonin few months ago. I thought that teaching a genin team…"

Mikoto said, "If you thought teaching a genin team would be easy. Then you are very foolish in thinking that way. I had one student to teach and he is very stubborn. But, I stuck with him thought Ninja Academy. I got in the face of some of his teachers because they were fools."

Kurenai shakes her head, "I had a fight with Asuma about my students. He thinks I am wearing kid gloves with Hinata as a teacher. But, Hinata does not have the confidence like other Hyugas. Everybody in my team is trying to build up her confidence."

Naruto listen to Mikoto speaking with Kurenai about Hinata. He knew the young Hyuga woman is getting pressure from the Hyuga Clan. Ever since Hinata lost her younger sister, the Hyuga elders have been pushing Hiashi to have Hinata bethored to a lord. The young man knew Hiashi would cave into the Hyuga elders.

Naruto ask, "Kurenai, is Hinata still practicing the Gentle Fist Style?"

Kurenai answer, "She works very hard in the Gentle Fist Style. But, Hinata has trouble using the fighting style from her clan. I have no idea how to teach her in the Gentle Fist Style."

Naruto gives a stern look at Kurenai, "That is why you are failing with Hinata. You have Hinata focus on the Gentle Fist Style which she see herself as a failer at. Kurenai, you need to have Hinata focus on something that she wants. You need Hinata to feel that she can do anything beside the Gentle Fist Style. You can build her confidence that way."

Kurenai stood up from her sit, "But, Hiashi…"

Naruto interrupt her, "You are the teacher of that young kunoichi! You need stop listening to everyone and teach the way you want to! Nobody can tell you how to teach your students!

Kurenai shakes with fury before she storms out of the classroom. Mikoto looks at Naruto before she walks to him. The young man turns back to the reports on the desk. The young mother hugs the young man from behind. Naruto relax in her arms as Mikoto holds him.

Naruto ask, "Do you think I was rough on Kurenai?"

Mikoto reply, "A little, but you are right. Teachers of genin teams are afraid to teach their students. I think the clan leaders have too much say on how their kids are trained."

Writer's note: I wonder if Kurenai or Asuma teach anything to their students. I relook over Naruto for any hints that their students had any training. I found nothing but I did not check the second part of Naruto.
