Chapter 302. Konoha Delivery Workers
---
With a furious roar from the Fourth Raikage, the race was instantly reignited.
Everyone stared at the screen in shock, watching the earth wall being smashed open and the Iwa ninjas chasing close behind.
In that moment—
Cheers erupted.
The race continued.
However—
So did the battle.
The four former Kage resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation were moved by the prosperity of the ninja world, but… still attacked without mercy, being under control.
At this moment—
Kumo ninjas and those from other villages who had come to watch and cheer also joined the defensive fight.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the game, the Kumo ninjas especially were giving it everything they had to protect the spectators.
Because—
This was the first Ninja Grand Prix held by Kumogakure, and they couldn't let it become a joke!
Just as the Fourth Raikage had declared: We will be waiting for you at the finish line!
"Everyone—your top priority is protecting the spectators!" The Fourth Raikage's secretary, a silver-haired, dark-skinned, sexy yet calm woman—Mabui—spoke firmly. "All ninja teams—forget everything else! Focus on the audience! Medical ninjas, get ready! Make sure to provide immediate support and rescue as needed! Anbu!" She quickly issued all the necessary orders, stabilizing the situation. "Assassinate Orochimaru! Samui, I'm leaving the eastern side to you!"
The Kumo ninjas swiftly accepted the commands.
Right now, on the battlefield—
They couldn't interfere in the fights between the powerhouses, so the most important thing was protecting the audience and evacuating them quickly.
This place… had already become a warzone.
However—
There were just too many spectators. Even with help from other village ninjas, they were still short on manpower. After all, how many ninjas would really show up just to watch?
And now, they still had to spare some ninja to hold off the enemy.
Especially Orochimaru…
As one of the Three Sannin, he was not someone who could be assassinated easily.
"It's really interesting~" Orochimaru licked his tongue and directly summoned Manda, standing atop the giant serpent. "I didn't expect to see such an interesting scene."
After casting Impure World Reincarnation, he did not take action personally, except for dealing with some boring flies.
After all, what he promised Iwagakure—he had already fulfilled.
"Bang!" Manda slapped away an incoming enemy with its tail. And when he saw the First Hokage standing above, he swallowed hard and grumbled in irritation: "Orochimaru! You've really dragged me into a mess this time! I'm warning you, if you don't—"
Before it could finish, Orochimaru simply smiled and nodded: "Relax. I've prepared everything you asked for. You just need to clean up these flies."
After saying that—
As if remembering something, he turned his head toward Uchiha Yuto, whose face showed no panic, only amused interest in the ongoing battle, making the smile on his mouth suddenly become more intense.
And suddenly—
The opposite side also smiled back at him.
Orochimaru was slightly surprised—then chuckled again. "It's really interesting!"
…
"Yuto, what should we do now?" Suzune clutched Honoka tightly, who was trying to run out, her voice filled with worry. "I didn't expect the First and Second Hokage to appear…"
And as enemies, no less.
These two Hokage… their power was terrifying, and as Konoha natives, they knew this better than anyone.
"Just focus on protecting yourselves." Yuto turned his head, looking at Might Duy, who was currently supporting others.
At the moment, Might Duy had only opened a few gates—not enough to exhaust himself—and with him here, it was relatively safe.
As for Fugaku…
Yuto looked up, watching Fugaku facing off against Senju Hashirama, and couldn't help but sigh. "Seriously! Of all people to fight, you chose the God of the Ninja World?"
Even if the Impure World Reincarnation wasn't perfect yet, the title of "God of the Ninja World" wasn't just for show.
"The enemies are increasing! And now that Manda's joined in, Kumo's forces seem stretched thin!" Suzune was still worried. "Even Duy-san looks like he's getting overwhelmed!"
It was true.
They were short on hands—
Yuto fell silent, deep in thought.
At this point—
Oto ninjas and Iwa ninjas had deployed, and now with Manda on the field…
Summoning beasts from the Three Sage Regions were not easy opponents, not to mention the especially, notoriously brutal Manda!
"Damn it!" Two Kumo ninjas stood back to back, glaring angrily at the ground full of snakes and enemies. "Our forces are too scattered!"
They had to both protect the evacuating spectators and hold off the enemies.
As for the ninja from other villages… most of them were over at the racetrack, participating in the competition!
The only village with a decent number of ninja spectators left on this side… was probably just Konoha.
"We have to come up with a solution!"
"The Anbu are already carrying out the assassination!"
"But it's one of the Three Legendary Sannin from Konoha~ He's not so easy to deal with."
Everyone's tone carried a hint of helplessness.
"Shut up! Focus on taking down the enemy!" Samui said coolly. "Don't let this be the end of Kumogakure!"
As soon as she finished speaking—
At that moment—
"Samui! Watch out!"
Suddenly, an Iwa ninja appeared behind a Kumo ninja. Their comrades immediately cried out in alarm.
But by then—
It was already too late to help!
Samui turned in shock, trying to evade with Taijutsu, but quickly realized she was well within the range of the incoming area attack.
In the blink of an eye—
Her eyes widened as she stared at the kunai lunging toward her.
She had already mentally prepared herself for sacrifice. She swung her short blade with all her might, hoping she could at least take the enemy down with her.
Suddenly—
"Bang!"
A loud crash!
"Ah!"
A scream rang out.
Everyone rushing to assist—even Samui—froze in place.
Before them—
A figure.
Wearing the same green skintight suit as the God of Delivery from Konoha, with the same hairstyle, the young man's body radiated green energy as he stood atop the defeated Iwa ninja. His lips curled into a smile, his pearly white teeth sparkled in the sunlight as he gave a thumbs-up toward her—Samui—and said, "Youth has just begun! It won't end like this~"
It looked incredibly cool!
Konoha's second-highest ranked delivery worker, the man destined to inherit the title of God of Delivery—Might Guy is here!
After landing a spinning kick that sent the enemy flying—
Might Guy looked at the still-stunned Kumo ninja and said with a hearty smile, "Leave this to us! Konoha Support Delivery Team! Team Guy!"
As he finished speaking—
All around them, other ninja in green Konoha flak jackets with delivery uniforms appeared, joining the Kumo ninja to block the enemy advance.
"Konoha delivery workers?!"
The Kumo ninja stared in surprise at the unexpected reinforcements.
They were the delivery workers brought in to help Kumogakure at the Fourth Raikage's request, following Duy-san?!
Since arriving, they had been training Kumo ninja and delivering food… Who would've thought—they were this strong?!
Even the Iwa ninja were stunned by the sudden arrival of the reinforcements.
How did these guys get in?!
After all…
The whole area had long been sealed off by stone walls. It shouldn't have been easy to enter.
The Iwa ninja, pinned under Might Guy's foot, looked at the pressure weighing down on him and the glaring green outfit. His face darkened. "How did you get in here?!"
In response—
Might Guy spun back to gain distance, then casually turned to show the words [Yuto Delivery] printed on the back of his green skintight suit.
With a calm smile, he said, "Once we accept an order—there's no place we can't deliver to!"
After all, he was aiming to become a delivery man as great as his father.
A few walls?
As if that could ever stop him!
