"I guess, so who are the likely sensei's then?"
The older man closed his eyes, deep in concentration, "I can think of four possible candidates."
"The first is Yuuhi Kurenai. You know all about her, and they figure that you will not fail with her as your sensei. Would you?"
Candidly, Naruto nodded, "I don't think I could. She would find some way of making me pass. She has this feeling that I'm holding back and it's a puzzle she needs to unravel."
The 'Ne' leader just suppressed a laugh, while ignoring the blond's look.
"Next would be Mitarashi Anko, who was given special permission to apply this year. You are pretty close to her, so do I need to say more?"
Naruto just shook his head. A great part of his stamina training involved running away from Anko. He didn't want to make it a full time thing. And he had the sneaking suspicion that she would try to desperately convert him to the "fucking awesomeness that is dango", all at his expense.
