The Trash Station of Naruto

Ren narrowed his eyes and stayed on guard. Although the so-called Dog Sage's message yesterday had told him to come today, who knew whether danger might appear?

At that moment, Ren released his newly awakened sensory ability and linked his spiritual power to the Trash Station. The instant anything went wrong, he would retreat into the Trash Station.

After a moment of silence, no danger appeared. Instead, Ren saw a vast grassland, like a primitive prairie.

Ren looked up at the sky and saw blue heavens, white clouds, and bright sunlight.

"What is going on? It should be nighttime now. Why is it daytime here?" Ren asked in surprise, unable to understand.

Suddenly, a breeze swept over, carrying the scent of the grassland as it slowly flowed around Ren.

The breeze was filled with the aura of life, and the entire grassland brimmed with dense vitality.

Feeling the rich life force, Ren said, "What kind of Summoning Beast clan has such abundant vitality? And where is this so-called Dog Sage?"

As his words fell, the silent grassland slowly stirred, and then a creature appeared.

Ren's gaze froze slightly. "No way... It's actually a Tibetan Mastiff. Could the Summoning Beasts of Beast King Mountain be the Dog Clan?"

Ren was astonished as the Tibetan Mastiff before him, as large as Bunta from the original story, let out a roar. "Woof! Woof!"

The roar whipped up a fierce gale, and Ren brought his hands together, about to form hand seals.

With such a strange scene before him, who knew whether there was danger? Ren formed hand seals, ready to leave this place!

Just then, an aged voice sounded. "Contractor... do not be afraid!"

As the words fell, the enormous black shadow before him gradually vanished, turning into an ordinary-sized Tibetan Mastiff. A small white dog stood atop its head.

Unable to sense any danger, Ren carefully observed the small white dog before him.

The little white dog stood on two legs like a person, leaning on a tiny cane. Its white fur was thick and draped down like an old man's beard.

After a brief silence, Ren said, "You are the Dog Sage!"

"Cough, cough..." After coughing lightly, he said calmly, "That is correct... I am the Dog Sage. After all these decades, a new contractor has finally appeared!"

As his words fell, the Dog Sage pointed his cane at the ground. Ren immediately found himself vanishing from the grassland and appearing inside a brightly lit hall.

The Dog Sage sat within the great hall like an elderly man in his final years. Beside him were two small dogs. One resembled an Earth Ghost-Faced Mastiff King, while the other looked like an Earth Alaskan Malamute.

"Cough, cough..." After coughing a few times, the Dog Sage said calmly, "New contractor, although you are still from the Uchiha Clan, the Uchiha Clan has brought both success and ruin. So be it... I only hope you will become the hope of the Dog Clan!"

Hearing this, Ren said solemnly, "The Uchiha Clan brought both success and ruin? What exactly does that mean? Also, my grandfather once said that the Summoning Beast clans of Beast King Mountain had all been slaughtered by Madara Uchiha. How do you still exist?"

Somewhat puzzled, the Dog Sage revealed a weathered expression. "Cough, cough... It seems you know quite a bit. But Madara Uchiha could not kill off the Dog Clan entirely. Still, that battle left the Dog Clan badly weakened. Every clansman capable of fighting was killed by Madara Uchiha. Those left behind were newly born pups who had not yet grown up. Madara Uchiha originally intended to wipe us out completely, but because this palace existed, he could not eradicate the Dog Clan. In the end, I traded a secret for the Dog Clan's survival!"

After hearing this, Ren pondered for a moment. "A secret in exchange for survival? That secret must have been extraordinary if it made Madara Uchiha abandon his slaughter. And Dog Sage, you should be a sage, shouldn't you? Were you still no match for Madara Uchiha?"

"Cough, cough... Naturally. Cultivating Natural Chakra is powerful, but it was still insufficient against Madara Uchiha. Of course, Madara Uchiha alone would have been manageable. The key was that he had brought the Nine-Tails with him. Thus, the Dog Clan of Beast King Mountain was nearly exterminated. For the sake of my descendants' survival, I told Madara Uchiha the secret the Dog Clan had treasured for generations and exchanged it for a chance to live!" As the Dog Sage spoke, his eyes dimmed.

Hearing this, Ren said in surprise, "I see. But if that is the case, Beast King Mountain barely has any fighting strength left!"

At this point, Ren was somewhat disappointed. The Dog Sage before him called himself a sage, so he should possess a method for cultivating Sage Mode. However, if this Summoning Beast clan had no combat power, forming a contract with them would be of little use. Fortunately, he could still contract with other races. Otherwise, Ren would have suffered a huge loss.

The Dog Sage shook his head. "That is correct... Beast King Mountain has little fighting strength left. Even that giant Tibetan Mastiff from earlier was transformed under the influence of sage power. Sigh... Their true forms are what you see before you now, but they have the potential to grow. Once their intelligence is awakened, they will be able to grow rapidly and restore the prestige of Beast King Mountain and the Dog Clan!"

As he spoke, the Dog Sage even became somewhat excited.

Ren was rather surprised. He stared at the two large dogs in the hall, one Tibetan Mastiff and one Alaskan Malamute. They looked adorable and foolish, yet they possessed no intelligence. What was going on? Even Kakashi's seven dogs in the original story possessed intelligence.

As if seeing Ren's confusion, the Dog Sage sighed. "Sigh... Fine, I will tell you everything. If no one supports the Dog Clan, this race will truly perish. There would be no point in keeping that secret any longer!"

As his words fell, Ren said, "A secret? It seems the Dog Clan has reached a point of life and death!"

The Dog Sage nodded, then said, "The Dog Clan originated from a single dog. That dog was my father. My father was called Xiaobai, and he was once the pet of Asura and Indra. However, he once saved Asura, was gravely wounded by a wild boar, and then died. Indra even awakened the Sharingan because of this."

(Dear readers, are there any dog lovers among you? Not the fanatical kind—just people who enjoy raising dogs. If there are, we can chat, or if you have any good breeds, you can sell them to me. But they had better be cheap; I am not rich! This book's group: **. Group: **. There are two groups, both belong to Liushang, so do not join the wrong one!)

Legendary Origins

"This... this... this is too incredible!"

Ren was somewhat shocked. The Dog Sage before him actually had such an origin. The Dog Sage's father had once been Indra and Asura's pet.

Ren knew that Asura and Indra had once raised a dog when they were young. Then, under Black Zetsu's scheme, the dog was killed by a wild boar. In the end, Indra killed the boar and even awakened the Sharingan. (This was shown in the Naruto anime, episode 685!)

Ren narrowed his eyes and continued looking at the Dog Sage. "So because of your father, you became what you are today!"

The Dog Sage nodded silently and said calmly, "That is correct... Because my father Xiaobai saved Asura, Indra later saw me shortly after I was born and infused Chakra into my body. That allowed me to comprehend Chakra and awaken my intelligence. Asura even stole a sage cultivation method from Mount Myoboku, allowing me to enter Sage Mode.

"Especially during the selection of Ninshu's successor, Asura brought back some God Tree Fragments and fused them into my body. That allowed me to create the Dog Clan. My descendants continued to reproduce, and their bloodlines continued to evolve, eventually forming different breeds. With Asura's help, I ultimately established the Dog Clan of Beast King Mountain and became one of the foremost Summoning Beast clans.

"However, after Indra and Asura died, I chose to help Indra, because Indra had helped awaken my intelligence. I gave the core Summoning Scroll to the Uchiha Clan of that era and assisted the Uchiha Clan. As for the Senju Clan back then, many clans supported them, so I did not care.

"As time passed, the Dog Clan eventually entered the Warring States Era. When Madara Uchiha signed the contract, I discovered that he was Indra's reincarnation. But I never expected Madara Uchiha to seek even greater power and choose to force the Dog Clan into submission. Madara Uchiha knew that the Dog Clan possessed a secret that could make the Uchiha Clan stronger.

"As a result, Madara Uchiha came to Beast King Mountain with the Nine-Tails and forced us to yield. I initially refused, but because of my clansmen's deaths, I ultimately chose to compromise. I told him the secret of fusing Asura and Indra to awaken the power of the Six Paths. I had accidentally overheard this from the Six Paths Sage, but I never expected Madara Uchiha to be so mad that he would choose to seize Asura's Chakra. I knew nothing of what happened afterward. The descendants of the Dog Clan had their intelligence sealed by Madara Uchiha's Genjutsu, and that seal was passed down through their bloodline.

"I was also gravely wounded in that battle and have never been able to recover. Besides, I was originally just an ordinary village dog. I only grew continuously through external aid. Without that help, I could never have grown to this point. Thus, after such a long passage of time, with my life already nearing its end and after being heavily wounded by Madara Uchiha, I could no longer endure. The only reason I remain alive is because of the Natural Chakra method Asura stole from Mount Myoboku and the God Tree Fragments Asura fused into me, which barely sustain my collapsing life.

"Before I die, I do not want the Dog Clan to perish like this. Nor do I want my descendants to live on in such confusion and ignorance!"

At this point, Ren's heart was shaken.

He had never expected the Dog Clan before him to possess such an extraordinary history.

At that moment, the Dog Sage lay in a reclining chair and said, "I cannot hold on much longer, but I cannot watch these descendants live in ignorance. Unfortunately, I have no ability to undo their seals. After all, these Genjutsu seals originated from the Uzumaki Clan and are a special type of Sealing Jutsu. The Dog Clan's foundation is especially meager, and we have little collection or understanding of Sealing Jutsu.

"Therefore, I hope to find a powerful contractor who can restore the Dog Clan's former glory. The God Tree Fragments Asura brought back were fused into my body, but when I created the Dog Clan, I continuously passed the God Tree's inheritance within me down to the next generation.

"In terms of heritage, the Dog Clan of Beast King Mountain cannot compare with Mount Myoboku. However, in terms of population and overall quality, Mount Myoboku's Toad Clan is absolutely inferior to the Dog Clan. Furthermore, those large dogs with mutated bloodlines, such as the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King among Tibetan Mastiffs, Huskies, sled dogs, Bulldogs... far surpass the Toad Clan."

Hearing this, Ren smiled inwardly. I never expected the Dog Clan to have such vast numbers. Nearly every kind of dog from Earth has gathered here.

Ren muttered to himself, greatly interested in the dogs the Dog Sage described. After all, Ren had also been a dog lover on Earth. Though he was not an obsessive enthusiast, he still liked some cute breeds, such as Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes... Dogs that looked fun yet fierce. It was not that he disliked Tibetan Mastiffs and the like; they were simply too expensive on Earth, and Ren could not afford them.

Ren narrowed his eyes and stared at the Dog Sage. "So... I need to look after these dogs whose intelligence has been sealed and help them grow!"

The Dog Sage nodded silently. "In the end, our foundation is too shallow to compare with the Three Sacred Lands of Summoning Beasts. The Dog Clan of Beast King Mountain can offer only the sage cultivation method I modified from Mount Myoboku's sage method. Other than that, we only have the number and variety of dogs, yet their intelligence has now been sealed. If I had the ability, I would have broken their seals long ago. Unfortunately, I do not possess that ability. I hope you can help the Dog Clan and prevent these dogs from declining into obscurity."

Hearing this, Ren nodded. "I will raise the Dog Clan."

As his words fell, Ren's expression was resolute. When choosing a Summoning Beast before, he had already considered raising one himself. In the original story, Kakashi's dogs had been Summoning Beasts Kakashi raised himself.

Ren could raise them too, and he possessed a special cheat ability. The trash from countless worlds might yield something from an immortal cultivation world, perhaps a spiritual treasure, the meat or blood of an immortal beast, discarded pills... Those things could be used to raise Summoning Beasts and help them grow.
