Naruto's Trash Station

After all, Ren knew that some trash from countless futures was extremely dangerous to humans. But for these animals, it was a special case.

The Dog Sage's Last Words

Beast King Mountain, Dog Clan.

Ren narrowed his eyes, and a trace of delight appeared within them!

Yes, delight. The Dog Clan was a perfect choice, a perfect target for cultivation. After all, Ren knew that as long as the Trash Station did not disappear, trash from immortal cultivation worlds would eventually appear. This trash filled with spiritual energy could be used to raise powerful summoning beasts. Not to mention that some immortal cultivation worlds had sects specifically dedicated to raising immortal beasts.

If he obtained the trash from those beast-taming sects, Ren would be able to cultivate the strongest summoning beasts—at least the strongest summoning beasts in the Naruto World. And he liked the Dog Clan before him very much. After all, Ren was a dog lover too. Having a Tibetan Mastiff by his side would definitely be interesting.

The Dog Clan was unfailingly loyal, and in the future, they would all obey Ren. Therefore, once Ren lifted the Dog Clan's seal and cultivated them, they would not betray him.

It could be said that the Dog Clan before him was Ren's best choice for summoning beasts.

At that moment, Ren narrowed his eyes and stared at the Dog Sage. He slowly said, "Please rest assured. I will take care of the Dog Clan and will not let them decline!"

"Cough, cough..." The Dog Sage coughed lightly and looked into Ren's eyes. "Hehe... it seems I made the right choice. Humans and dogs are friends. Humans today are the same; they all enjoy raising dogs. Some ninjas even turn dogs into their own unique ninjutsu. Cough, cough... I hope the Dog Clan of Beast King Mountain can continue to be passed down!"

His weathered words carried a faint sigh.

Ren knew that the Dog Sage was making arrangements for the future and recounting his own life.

The Dog Sage's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "Do you know? The creation of the Dog Clan relied entirely on Shura and Indra. Especially Shura—he taught me the methods of Sage Mode cultivation and even gave me a fragment of the God Tree. It was precisely because of Shura that I was able to reproduce and become the Dog Clan of today. Unfortunately... my master was ultimately Indra. When I first opened my eyes, the person I saw was Indra.

Therefore, I would never choose betrayal in my life. No matter how much Shura helped me, my master was ultimately Indra. Now, I am about to go where my master is. I hope you will take good care of the Dog Clan. When these children have their intelligence unsealed, the first person they see will be the master of their lives. Even if their master kills them, they will not betray him. That is the Dog Clan—a loyal clan!"

As he spoke, a trace of shock appeared in Ren's eyes.

The Dog Sage slowly began to fade away, as though he were vanishing between heaven and earth.

Ren said, "You... you..."

It had to be said that after hearing of the Dog Sage's deeds, Ren could not help but feel admiration. The Dog Clan was a clan of loyalty.

At that moment, Ren even wanted to return to his bedroom and retrieve the Qilin Resin to see whether he could save the Dog Sage.

The Dog Sage smiled. "Ren... death is nothing but a release to me. If these children had not needed someone to care for them, I would have wanted to leave long ago and visit Master Indra."

Hearing this, Ren silently nodded, not knowing what to say.

At that moment, the Dog Sage's beard slowly disappeared, revealing a smiling face before he gradually vanished between heaven and earth.

The Tibetan Mastiffs and sled dogs within the hall had tears in their eyes, as though they sensed that their ancestor had departed.

Clang...

The Dog Sage disappeared, and his cane fell to the ground. Along with it came a small bell.

Ren knew that this was the bell Indra had once placed on the Dog Sage, the bell he had worn for a thousand years and could not bear to abandon.

Ren slowly picked up the bell and said, "When I see Indra someday, I will tell him about you. I will tell him that he still has a loyal dog silently waiting for him!"

Ren put away the bell, storing it with great care.

His gaze fell upon the Tibetan Mastiffs before him, and through the contract, he reassured the two dogs.

Ren gently touched their fur and said, "Take me to your tribe. I want to see your clan!"

Upon hearing this, the Tibetan Mastiff turned and walked in one direction.

Although their intelligence had been sealed, they still possessed animal instincts.

Not long afterward, Ren had looked over the entire Dog Clan.

The Dog Clan had more than ten thousand dogs, with every kind of breed among them.

Tibetan Mastiffs, bulldogs, huskies, sled dogs, bully dogs...

In short, every breed that could be found on Earth existed within the Dog Clan before him.

Summoning beast clans were originally difficult to reproduce. Take the Toad Clan of Mount Myoboku, for example—their population would be no more than a thousand at most. Their reproductive ability seemed to be restricted. Even Bunta had only one descendant, Gamamaru.

The Snake Clan of Ryuchi Cave had a large population, but there were no more than a thousand snakes with intelligence capable of using ninjutsu. As for the snakes Orochimaru often summoned to their deaths, they were merely enormous pythons, wild beasts with no intelligence!

The Dog Clan before him had its intelligence sealed, which was why it could reproduce in such large numbers. Moreover, among the nearly ten thousand dogs, at least ninety percent could have their intelligence awakened and then cultivate into ninja dogs.

Ren narrowed his eyes. "There are many of them, and many breeds. With future cultivation, they could even become the number one summoning clan in the Naruto World. Unfortunately, that is all in the future. The biggest problem now is lifting the seal."

As he muttered to himself, he saw the Tibetan Mastiff biting onto the leg of his pants and tugging him toward a certain place.

Ren narrowed his eyes. "You mean here?"

The Tibetan Mastiff was highly intelligent. It nodded and headed toward a cave.

Ren followed closely behind and entered the cave.

"This... is this the Dog Clan's collection?" Ren muttered as rows upon rows of bookshelves appeared before him.

Ren swept his gaze across them and found only three categories. First: natural chakra and Sage Mode. Second: sealing techniques and seal research. Third: Ninja Dog Compendium!

It could be said that part of the Dog Clan's collection concerned ninjutsu for cultivating ninja dogs, part concerned materials on cultivating Sage Mode, and part concerned research into ninjutsu.

The Tibetan Mastiff bit one of the books and then looked at Ren.

(I had something to do today, so I updated early. The scheduled update is still set as usual, but mobile readers can see it now. As for the plot progressing too slowly, all I can say is that graduating at five, negotiating terms with the Hokage at six, and going to war at seven would be bizarre. Besides, the protagonist's golden finger is neither a system nor a shop. It turns waste into treasure and grows slowly; powerful treasures will not appear right from the start. So the pace is a little slower, but not too slow. It will get better later. I cannot have him enter the battlefield within the first thirty chapters, can I?)

Throwing Away Trash

"So that's how it is. Is this the Dog Clan's seal?"

Ren muttered as he stared at the book before him.

The enormous cave contained many treasured books. The Ghost-Faced Mastiff King had specifically indicated that Ren should read this book because it contained an analysis of the Dog Clan's seal. This book was the Dog Sage's notes, the accumulation of decades of his research.

It had to be said that although the Dog Clan's intelligence was sealed, their animal intelligence was still very high.

Ren gently stroked the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King. The Ghost-Faced Mastiff King was the strongest existence among the Tibetan Mastiffs. Ren felt the warmth conveyed by the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King, while his gaze remained on the book.

The book stated that the Dog Clan's seal was a special kind of seal. It restricted spiritual energy, sealing each dog's spiritual energy within its bloodline. One had to know that spiritual energy was emitted by a person's soul; spiritual energy was even the soul itself. With the soul sealed away, intelligence naturally could not emerge.

In particular, spiritual energy had been sealed within flesh and blood cells, further restricting the Dog Clan's growth. Summoning beasts grew quickly, but such growth required chakra. Now that their spiritual energy was sealed and their flesh and spiritual energy had fused together, their chakra was sealed within their cells, preventing the Dog Clan from generating chakra and naturally preventing them from growing.
