'Normal thought…'

"Kyuubi/Bijuu speech…"

"Normal speech…"

Jutsu name…

Inside the academy, in front of room 301…

Team Seven looked surprised at Kakashi, who stood in front of the door.

"I see, so Sakura came as well…You can now officially register to the Chunin Exam." Kakashi said easily.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked confused.

"To tell the truth, this exam can only be taken in teams of three." He told them lazily.

"But you said, we could decide if we wanted to take it or not." Sakura said indignantly.

Kakashi shrugged easily. "Yeah I did."

"You lied?" Sakura asked in a bit of shock.

"Yes." Kakashi said lazily. "If I said that, Sasuke and Naruko would force you to take it."

Naruko nodded seriously in agreement.

"Even if you didn't want to take the exam, if Sasuke asked you, you would try to take the exam anyway. For Sasuke…and Naruko." Kakashi looked at her seriously.

"So, what would have happened if only Sasuke-kun and Naruko came here?" Sakura asked him.

"I would have prohibited them from taking the exam and not allowed them through these doors. But the three of you came here on your own free will. Sakura. Naruko. And Sasuke. Well done!" Kakashi eyesmiled.

Naruko giggled cheerily, and then she realized what she wanted to tell Kakashi before the exam. "Oh, Kashi-sensei, we ran into Gai on our way here. He asked me to tell you that he wants to fight against his eternal rival again, or something like that." She furrowed her brows cutely in thought as she tried to remember Gai's exactly words...with his teeth sparkle and all.

A shiver ran through Kakashi. 'So, Naru-chan met Gai again…I wanted to spare her from his "youthfulness" as much as possible…' "Oh, is that so? I will talk to him then… Anyway, I'm proud of the three of you. You're my team." He stepped away from the door, as Naruko beamed happily at the praise. "Now, go."

Naruko giggled cheerfully. "Alright, let's go~"

Sakura and Sasuke opened the doors and the three walked through them. The door closed behind them.

Kakashi looked after them. 'Good luck. And be careful, Naru-chan…'

Inside room 301…

Naruko, Sakura and Sasuke stood inside the room in silent astonishment.

"Wow~" Naruko said in awe and giggled cheerfully. Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

Sakura looked in shock at the crowd before her. "W-What is this…?"

The Genin's from the crowd glared darkly at them.

'There are so many people. Are all these people taking the exam?' Sakura began to sweat. 'They all seem so strong…' She gulped in fright.

"Sasuke-kun, you're late!" Ino shouted and hugged Sasuke from behind with a blush on her face.

Sasuke looked at her utterly annoyed.

"I've been eagerly waiting for you since I heard that I could see you for the first time in a long time." Ino fangirled.

A tick mark appeared on Sakura's head. "Get away from Sasuke-kun, you Ino-pig!" She screeched.
