Naruto's Trash Station

Nawaki also knew Kushina Uzumaki's identity. He had come to Ren's class today not only to see Ren, but also to check whether his little sister had been bullied.

As he watched the three leave, a servant slowly approached from inside the shop. "Young Master... are you heading back as well?"

Ren nodded. "Yeah... let's head back too. From now on, anything those three want from our people or shops will be free. Especially Kushina Uzumaki—take good care of her!"

The servant immediately nodded. He firmly etched Kushina Uzumaki's appearance into his mind. For all he knew, she might become their future mistress.

Ren paid no attention to what the servants were thinking and simply left the shop, heading home.

Not long after, Ren returned to his bedroom.

The moment he got back, he saw his grandfather walk in.

His grandfather said, "Ren... you gained quite a lot today. It seems you've already unconsciously learned to use your sensory ability!"

Ren was startled. "Grandfather, how did you know?"

Had it been because of his anger today? His spiritual power had somehow spread out along with his words, carrying a trace of his own coldness and making those students afraid.

Come to think of it, even Ren himself found it strange.

Yet the moment he returned home, his grandfather already knew about it.

His grandfather chuckled. "Not bad... as expected of someone who inherited your mother's spiritual power. You achieved Awakening of my clan's abilities so quickly!"

Madara's Scroll

"How did Grandfather know?"

Ren was puzzled. His grandfather already knew about what had happened at school.

Thus, Ren sat in his small sitting room, eating Magical Beast meat as he looked questioningly at his grandfather across from him.

His grandfather smiled kindly. "Of course I knew! Many of the Ninja Academy's teachers were students I sponsored back then. Your teacher, Yamada, was one of them. After school, Yamada personally came to visit me and told me about what you experienced today!"

Ren looked oddly at him. "Grandfather... just how many people have you sponsored? Even Ninja Academy teachers are among them!"

His grandfather smiled. "A great many, in any case. They'll all help you in the future. But I truly didn't expect your ability to achieve Awakening so quickly. Then again, the ability of my clan is quite simple. Once one's spiritual power reaches a certain level, it can undergo Awakening quickly."

At that, curiosity appeared in Ren's eyes. "Grandfather... what exactly is this ability? Sensory abilities normally have little offensive power, but why does mine seem somewhat different?"

His grandfather smiled kindly. "That should be the power of emotion, a special kind of Genjutsu based on spiritual pressure. Ordinary Genjutsu relies on a person's spiritual power. The stronger one's spiritual power, the more powerful the Genjutsu. Of course, special Kekkei Genkai are outside that scope.

"The ability of my clan is simple. We turn spiritual power into sensory ability. When one's spiritual power becomes strong enough, that sensory ability can change along with one's emotions, producing a special spiritual pressure that affects the emotions of others.

"Simply put, my clan's ability allows spiritual power to change with one's emotions. Those changes can even form special ninjutsu. Unfortunately, throughout my clan's history, only a few people have been able to transform sensory ability into Emotion Genjutsu.

"And to do that, one needs terrifying spiritual power. Raising spiritual power is truly difficult. I never expected you, Ren, to reach this point. Perhaps as you grow and your spiritual power increases, you'll be able to comprehend this Emotion Genjutsu!"

His grandfather was a little excited. Someone could inherit his legacy and even surpass him, so naturally he was delighted.

Ren merely chuckled. "I never expected Grandfather's clan to be so remarkable as well. Turning emotions into Genjutsu... that really is rather wondrous!"

As he ate the Magical Beast meat, he carefully recalled what had happened in the classroom today. So it had been a special Genjutsu formed when emotion drew upon spiritual power, making those students feel fear!

Night fell, and Ren stepped into his bedroom, his gaze landing on the corner of the wall.

His grandfather had already left, still filled with joy because Ren had achieved Awakening of his clan's ability.

At that moment, Ren looked at the corner and said, "Although Grandfather's clan ability is decent, it doesn't even compare to the Sharingan. And that Emotion Genjutsu needs powerful spiritual strength as support. My current spiritual power is nowhere near enough. I should first see what Madara Uchiha left behind!"

After learning yesterday of the secret hidden in this corner, he had been unable to resist exploring it. Today, he would take a proper look at what was concealed here. After all, these were things Madara Uchiha had left behind.

Ren formed hand seals with both hands, drawing upon the Chakra within his body.

"Release!"

With a soft shout, a passage instantly appeared in the corner.

Opening this passage consumed very little Chakra, and Ren had more than enough to sustain it.

Ren stared at the passage before him and slowly walked inside.

As he entered, candlelight appeared once more, illuminating the path ahead.

Before long, Ren reached the secret chamber he had visited yesterday.

Ren said, "With Madara Uchiha's strength, the things he left behind must be extraordinary. I just wonder what he left behind, and whether it will help me."

Ren muttered to himself as his eyes fell upon a dusty scroll.

There were only three scrolls in this secret chamber. Ren's grandfather had spoken of two of them. The first was a scroll personally compiled by Madara Uchiha, while another was a scroll that could only be inherited by the Uchiha Clan's patriarchal line. As for the third, even Ren's grandfather did not know.

Aside from the scrolls, there were weapons and armor. Ren had no interest in either. After all, the true divine weapons had already been taken away by Madara Uchiha.

At that moment, Ren stepped forward and stared at the scroll written by Madara Uchiha.

He gently brushed away the dust, and the writing within came into view.

The handwriting was somewhat aloof, carrying a unique domineering air.

Not long after, Ren lifted his gaze from the scroll.

"Whew... how should I put this?" Ren gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "It truly is Madara Uchiha. Even what he recorded is profound and powerful!"

It had to be said that the ninjutsu recorded in the scroll personally written by Madara Uchiha were all extraordinary.

Ren spread out the scroll and continued, "Sage Art, Fire Release, Lightning Release, Yin Release... every one of them is incomparably powerful. Unfortunately, they are all overwhelmingly powerful ninjutsu. Any one of them, if taken out, could become someone's signature technique. But for someone who has only just begun refining Chakra, this is no different from a heavenly tome!"

Ren was somewhat helpless. The scroll recorded many ninjutsu, but most were either far too high-level or forbidden techniques. How could Ren practice them? Holding them in his hands was completely useless.

Aside from those, it also recorded Sage Mode, Wood Release Techniques, Yin Release... even Impure World Reincarnation was included.

It could be said that not a single simple ninjutsu was recorded in the scroll Madara Uchiha wrote himself. If any one of them were brought out, even a Jonin might not be able to practice it.

Ren narrowed his eyes and carefully put away the scroll. "I can't practice these now, so I'll leave them for later. Konoha probably doesn't even have records of these advanced ninjutsu. After all, these are Madara Uchiha's research. There are even explanations and speculation regarding the First Hokage's Sage Mode. Once I become stronger, this will be invaluable!"

Ren put away the scroll. It was of no use to him for now, but it would prove tremendously useful in the future.

After storing Madara Uchiha's scroll properly, he looked toward another scroll.

This scroll was the one inherited by the Uchiha Clan's patriarchal line, and it could be considered the Uchiha Clan's most precious inheritance.
