While he'd most certainly deny that if asked later, his immediate reaction was silently cursing Ai for her poor choice of scroll and then not so silently cursing his own luck for pushing him into such a stupid predicament. [color=9e0b0f]"Guess this shitty test just became extremely troublesome"[/color] He muttered, unconsciously forming a self-mocking smile in his face as he tightned his grip over the handle of his umbrella - the only thing he could possibly use to fend the weird beast. Turns out that, in the end, such an cautious reaction wasn't needed, for Ayame's barrier managed to hold back the beast, giving then time to plan what they should do next - what Ai did through some weird religious talk. [color=9e0b0f]"I don't know what in hell are you talking about, but I probably manage to hit all the drums one last time with the tags I have here. Not sure about a third try though."[/color] He uncerimouniously answered the girl's question, demonstrating the now greatly reduced amount of explosive tags he carried - after all, those things occupied a considerable space, and he hardly carried enough for large scale operations, for he wasn't exactly fond of having an excessive amount of highly explosive materials with himself due to obvious reasons. Ultimately, he decided to simply do what Ai suggested, setting his explosive tags in a way that hopefully would work to drum every drum in their surroundings even without setting one for every drum - quite the tedious work, since he had to calculate the range of te explosion to make it work without wasting his already scarce reserve of explosive tags. In the end, he somehow managed to do the job without having to borrow some extra tags from any of his teammates. [color=9e0b0f]"The manual work is done~ Warn me when you're done with the planning part."[/color] He returned to the interior of the barrier as aoon as he conveyed the completion of his job to his teammates, sitting down and waiting for them to end their part of the work. As soon as they finished the preparations, he would trigger his tags and hopefully manage to force the once more force the beast to get out of the statue.

Wasting chakra like this was, after all, a bother - even if it somehow helped them with identifying the effects of the silver flames. [color=9e0b0f]"Guess It's time for plan B..."[/color] He muttered, turning back to face Sakana as he thought of what to do next.Ultimately, the act of trying to consult the other shinobi failed miserably, for Sakana was already walking towards the flame while saying something about fate before he could even say a single word - an act that clearly surprised Kamui, who didn't expect to see such a bold move that early in the test. He didn't linger around thinking about how surprising it was for long though, as even if Sakana decided to go by himself his role in the team wouldn't change - Checking the actual effect of the flame in a human being was a need, after all. [color=9e0b0f]"Open."[/color] The Uzumaki finally muttered something after making his mind, using the single word as a mantra to concentrate in the task that was almost natural for him by now: opening his mind's eye. The result was rather instantaneous, as he immediately gained a complete awareness of all the chakra in the room in detail - a signal of how truly absurd his technique was. No need to say that he could immediately tell quite a few things that he couldn't before, namely: The fact that the proctor was seemingly considerably stronger than your everyday Jonin, how utterly absurd the challenge room was, with even his sensory abilities being unable to detect what happened outside of it, and most importantly: How the weird flames were capable of directly devouring Sakana's chakra. Before he could convey any of this, though, Sakana demonstrated how utterly absuder he truly was as the youngest person to join the exam, expelling part of his own chakra out to expulse the flame from his body like he'd dispel a genjutsu - a technique that even Kamui, a genius on his own right, didn't think about. The result of such an unexpected reaction was rather pleasant for the group, since Sakana actually managed to touch the scroll, completing the challenge and earning the rage (and threats) of the test's proctor, that openly insulted the whole team and even said that he'd kill Sakana if he tried that again - a seemingly real threat, as far as Kamui could tell - before he finally vanished, opening the door to the outside for the team - possibly representing their success in becominf jonins, though Kamui highly doubted that, as he not only believed it wouldn't be so easy to become one of the elite ninjas of the village but was also quite certain that the scroll that appeared tied to his waist after the end of the test wasn't given as a souvenir. His first reaction after leaving the challenge room was, as expected, expand his sensor range to detect any sign of the other participants, going aa far as expanding it to search for any human presence inside a 5 km radius of the group before finally closing his mind eye after failing to detect any other participant in the area. [color=9e0b0f]"Seens like we're either the first team to get here or the only team where not everyone can hide their chakra signature..."[/color] He dryly said as he made his way towards Sakana, clearly unsatisfied about something - specifically wasting his energy with an unneded scan of the area - as he positioned his palms over Sakana's back. [color=9e0b0f]"Want some healing or just transferring some chakra will do the job?"[/color] He unceremoniously asked as he positioned himself near his teammate, clearly anxious to deal with this bother before more trouble arrived. Depending on his teammate answer, he'd either just transfer part of his chakra to him or heal any eventual wound and them do the chakra transference, and before finishing either of those he'd add a special gift in the package: A small, almost unnoticeable Self-Cursing Seal - Since he still needed Sakana to fight for him later and had to expend his own chakra to put him back in the game, he could as well use the opportunity to get some insurance.
