Once entering the exams, Kazami and his team-mates were randomly split into different rooms to take the written test, with him being placed in room 3. On a monitor, Shikamaru Nara as the first exam proctor explained the goal of the first exam. His team ultmately passed the first round since their combined scored equalled 100 points as it was supposed to, and by leaving the bonus question unanswered. However, a preliminary round had to be issued to lessen the many partipants there were. The preliminary round involved a race to Sunagakure where only the first 30 teams to arrive at the destination would qualify for the second phase.

Ultimately, his team were among the first 30 teams to make it. During dinner, when his team-mate was harmed, he was outraged and went to his defence. Soon enough a brawl was stirred up between the genin in the room. It eventually settled thanks to the convenience of Fū, who's cheerful personality caused everyone to lose their desire to fight. The next day, Temari as the proctor of the second exam, announced the start of the second round being taken within Demon Desert.

Team Kazami get away on Moguranmaru.

While his team soon defeats several enemy teams, they wind up with multiple heaven scrolls instead of the earth scroll. Ultimately, they engage Team Kurenai. After a heated struggle, they discover that Kiba Inuzuka had the earth scroll and together took it from the Konoha-nin. Muyami then summoned his giant mole Moguranmaru and they retreated on it. Team Kurenai began pursuing Kazami's team, ultimately leading them into a quicksand pit and allowing to finish the second exam calmly.
