A looked away.
He wanted to teach the brat who kept staring at him a lesson, but his position as Raikage made him abandon the idea.
Samui came back to her senses when she heard A speak.
Come to think of it,

Naruto Uzumaki looked away as A and the others entered their private room.

Then he would make sure every Kumogakure team in the exams was eliminated.
When that happened,
A would lose face so badly
he might just explode with rage.
And then,
given the man's temperament,
Hiruzen Sarutobi would probably have
