"Time's up." The lead Anbu proctor announced the end of the first written exam.
After handing in his paper, Kyosuke turned and exchanged glances with his other two teammates.
Looks like there were no problems. Kyosuke smiled inwardly in satisfaction.
It made sense. Since the Third Hokage had selected those two to work with him, no matter how mediocre they were, they would not be eliminated by a written test.
Just as the many Genin in the room were exchanging meaningful looks, an Anbu suddenly appeared in the center of the room.
"Now, everyone follow me to the second exam venue." After saying that, he turned and left.
Seeing this, everyone rose and followed after him.

"Calm down," Kyosuke said blandly as he looked at her.
"Hm? Calm down about what?" the figure asked in confusion.
"Calm down, Torune." Kyosuke ignored her and instead spoke to his companion.
As it turned out, the moment this figure had approached Kyosuke, Shino Aburame had quietly scattered poisonous insects around her. If she made even the slightest suspicious move, those insects could take her life in an instant.
"Ah!" Only after Kyosuke's reminder did the figure belatedly notice the insects.
Yet aside from a trace of disgust, there was no panic on her face.

Of course, even so, Kyosuke did not find it strange.
Because the owner of that figure was none other than the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.
If it was her, she indeed had the right to disregard Torune's
