There was no time to think. Before Hikaru could even admire the result of his explosive action - the buddha statue revealed it's true form as soon as the sound of the drums reached it, letting free the weird lightning beast that attacked Ai before and revealing something extremely important as it did so: The position of the lightning scroll - the sole objective of this challenge and spmething they had to acquire if they still wanted to become jonin.

Hikaru's reaction was, as expected of a somehow experienced shinobi, immediate: He was already dashing towards the statue even before Ai's yell managed to reach his ears, trusting in his teammates abilities for once as he desperately assumed the optimal position for what could only be described suicidal rush, moving his body to adopt an optimal position for the triggering of a single technique that would give him the chance of reaching the scroll in time - his self-made technique: Thunderous Dash - and finally making use of the Kekkei-reliant skill in an instant, releasing an surprisingly large explosion from the bottom of his feet - unsurprisingly damaging his legs in the process, for even Hikaru's inhuman durability couldn't hope to completely negate the damage caused by his explosions - using it to propel himself towards the scroll in a speed that could only be described as absurd, making it seem as if he just instantly reached the scroll, with his hand already grasping it - almost like he made use of space-time ninjutsu to instsntly change his position to directly grasp the scroll, if not by the fact that the impact of his hand with the scroll was clearly violent.

Kamui couldn't help but release an annoyed grunt from his mouth when faced by Sakana's remarkably thoughtful remark, strangely dissatisfied by how his teammate demonstrated concern over him as he continued the process of transferring part of his chakra and healing him  - After all, Sakana's somehow friendly act didn't exactly make him feel better when considering how he used the opportunity to sort of betray him, even if he knew that the other shinobi's words were most certainly motivated by the fact that he still needed his support. 

His dissatisfaction didn't take long to be dispelled though, as the Hokage's speech immediately assured him that his decision was indeed the most reasonable ine - fact that was further proved by the fact that Sakana instantly pulled out a strange blade and slashed it towards the area where his scroll was being held - an act that Kamui would undoubtedly consider as offensive at first glance, possibly enough to make hin trigger the seal he placed in the younger shinobi... If not by the fact that his sluggish self didn't even register the movement until it was already made, luckly preventing him from directly activating the seal due to an incorrect reading of the situation, as he noticed that his younger teammate actually defended him from having his scroll stolen... By another teammate, of course, that proceeded to leap away from them.

Before he could even take measures to prevent being targeted amidst tne chaotic situation, while he was still in the process of opening his mind's eye to have a better grasp of what was happening around him, Sakana actually moved to throw him away, shielding him from an attack that came from the supposedly most pacific shinobi of the group, resulting in Kamui struggling to recover his equilibrium for a second. When he finally managed to fix his posture, this time already absolutely conscient about what was happening around him, Sakana was already trying to mediate the situation in his own way, trying to convince the other members of the team - specially the wild girl - that working together would be more efficient for them and apparently making the infighting stop for a moment - what didn't stop Kamui from taking a hold of his fan and directly stare Usagi (a fairly useless act considering the fact that his sensory technique was active). He already committed the mistake of considering her as harmless once, after all, so he wouldn't just do the same and overlook her again.
