Maybe he saw potential in her? It's very likely he denied her first requests, eventually acknowledging her persistence. More likely, he even tested her like he did with the main cast Genin. In the end, he did allow them to persue their objectives, no? Maybe even Iruka's strange request might have been seen as a "good omen" by Hiruzen.
