"Interested in teaming up?"
Hearing the invitation, Kagura turned around and looked back.
But the person before him surprised him slightly.
Because he knew this person. He was also one of the few examinees in the early stages who had caught Kagura's attention.
This person was Dodai from Kumogakure.
When he had first arrived at the examination venue, aside from the Seven People, this was the only person who had given him even a slight sense of threat.

As he spoke, he extended his right hand toward Kagura.
