Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto stood in the hall of the third floor with their eyes fixed ahead on the small sign above a door that read 301, then their eyes fell to Kakashi, who stood in front of the door with his hands in his pockets.

"I see. Sakura, you've come, too. Now you can formally register for the Chunin Exam."
They blinked at him and Sakura's eyes widened slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, from the start, only three-man squads could apply and take the exams."
"But, Sensei! You said the decision to take the exam was up to the individual." Sakura frowned slightly.
"Yes... I did say that."
"Were you lying?" Sakura asked.
Kakashi looked away for a moment to avert his eyes. "Uh... Yes. I was." He paused, then looked back at his students. "If I said that, Sasuke and Naruto would probably have forcefully convinced you to take it."
Sakura glanced over at the boys, as Naruto swallowed slightly and nodded to himself, and Sasuke remained quiet and still.
"Even if you didn't have the will to apply," Kakashi continued. "If Sasuke asks you, you would attempt to take the exams half-heartedly." He narrowed his eye slightly. "For Sasuke's sake and, well, also for Naruto's..."
"Then, if..." Sakura started. "it had only been Sasuke and Naruto who had come here?"
"I would've stopped the Exam here." Kakashi answered simply. "I wouldn't have felt like letting them go beyond this point. But... you guys came here on your own will. Sakura. Naruto. Sasuke. I'm glad you came."
Kakashi smiled at them, and they each smiled back at him.
"You're a team I'm proud of." Kakashi stepped aside and nodded to them. "Now then, go on!"
"Okay! Let's go!" Naruto grinned and clenched his fist in anticipation and Sakura and Sasuke each grabbed one of the double doors and pushed them open.
Kakashi watched as they stepped inside, exhaling and closing his eyes once the door shut behind them.
"W-Wow!" Naruto looked at the crowded room and gulped.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and Sakura blinked.
"W-What's with... this?"
