Trash Station of Naruto

Ren muttered to himself, unable to make sense of it. If the RR Virus had caused the Dog Clan to evolve, he could understand that much. After all, the trash from the Swallowed Star world had originally carried the RR Virus. Though Ren still found it strange that he himself had not evolved, the Dog Clan truly had. Ren knew a little about Akatsuki.

But he could not understand the disappearance of the trash before him.

The Ghost-Faced Mastiff King said, "Master... while I was evolving, I vaguely sensed the earth swallowing that trash. And those little saplings in front of us seem to be seeds that were among the trash."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren leaped forward and landed directly on the grass.

The once-barren ground was now covered in green grass. Simply standing here, he could feel an astonishing vitality.

Ren walked over and stared at the several saplings that had appeared in the wasteland, along with a few unknown wild grasses.

Ren said, "The trash thrown out yesterday came from Tomb Notes World, Battle Through the Heavens World, and Swallowed Star. Trash from three worlds in total. If there were seeds, they would have come from those three worlds. But now they have taken root and sprouted in the Naruto World. This is interesting."

Ren chuckled. If medicinal herbs from the Battle Through the Heavens World could be planted in the Naruto World, would that not give him an endless medicinal field? And perhaps he could plant any seeds he acquired from the trash in the future as well.

As Ren pondered, the sled dog, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly said, "Master... I think Akatsuki knows how that trash disappeared."

At those words, Ren immediately turned to look at the sled dog.

Among the eight perfectly evolved dogs, Ren liked the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King the most. After all, it was a type of Tibetan Mastiff. Back when Ren was still on Earth, he had always wanted a Tibetan Mastiff. Unfortunately, purebred Tibetan Mastiffs were too expensive, and he simply could not afford one.

Aside from Tibetan Mastiffs, he also liked Huskies and sled dogs. He especially liked Alaskan Malamutes. These sled dogs had always been intelligent. On Earth, sled dogs often served as search-and-rescue animals.

Ren stared at the sled dog and asked, "You know how the trash disappeared?"

The sled dog nodded. "I am the only dog of the Dog Clan who possessed intelligence before being sealed away. The other dogs were born only after their intelligence had been sealed. As for those dogs who originally possessed intelligence but had it sealed away, most of them have already died. Therefore, I am also the only dog in the Dog Clan who knows the secrets of Akatsuki."

Natural Devouring

A gentle breeze blew past, carrying rich vitality with it.

Ren looked at the sled dog and said, "I see. It seems that aside from the late Dog Sage, you are the oldest member of the Dog Clan."

The sled dog nodded silently, speaking with a trace of nostalgia. "The Dog Sage once said that his dream was for the Dog Clan to surpass the Three Holy Lands. Therefore, the Dog Sage wanted to create a new Sage Art that would surpass Mount Myoboku's Sage Art. Aside from Sage Art, the Dog Sage also wanted Beast King Mountain to become a new Holy Land. A Holy Land capable of gathering Natural Chakra.

The Dog Sage once said that the reason the Three Holy Lands were called Holy Lands was because they could gather Natural Chakra. Mount Myoboku's Toad Oil was naturally condensed there. Although Beast King Mountain was not bad, it lacked the ability to gather Natural Chakra. That was why the Dog Sage wanted to transform Beast King Mountain.

It was probably when I was young, before my intelligence was sealed away. Under my father's guidance, I saw the Dog Sage holding a dazzling crystal before entering the depths of Beast King Mountain. He carved some unknown runes there, then embedded that crystal into an altar. Afterward, the Dog Sage said that Beast King Mountain would eventually be able to devour all kinds of energy, nourish itself, and finally become a Holy Land capable of refining Natural Chakra!"

After hearing that, Ren swept his gaze across the land and took out a Sealing Scroll. "Release!"

Bang...

White smoke appeared, and several chunks of bloody meat emerged from the Sealing Scroll.

This was Magical Beast meat that Ren had brought with him. Magical Beast meat contained energy, so perhaps it could strengthen the Dog Clan's bodies and break their seals. That was why he had brought three hundred pounds of it, intending to feed it to the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King to see whether it could break through the seal. Who would have thought this would happen? The Dog Clan had actually been driven into evolution by the RR Virus. The trash had even been swallowed.

Ren took out the Magical Beast meat and tossed it onto the ground.

The instant it touched the ground, the Magical Beast meat slowly began to dissipate.

Ren could clearly sense that the Magical Beast meat had turned into energy and dispersed, eventually being absorbed by Beast King Mountain.

Ren stared at the scene and said, "Unbelievable... it really can devour things. Could Beast King Mountain be a living being too?"

The sled dog shook his head. "Master... Beast King Mountain is not alive. The reason it produces this effect should be the crystal the Dog Sage placed inside the mountain. As for what that crystal is, we do not know."

Ren frowned slightly. "Can we enter the mountain?"

The sled dog replied, "We can. Beast King Mountain originally had a cave that led directly into its depths. But Master will need to wait for a while, because the entrance was sealed by the Dog Sage. We have only just had our seals removed and have not yet cultivated the Dog Clan's inherited ninjutsu, so we do not know how to undo that seal."

Ren nodded. "I see... then we will take a look later. In the future, I will find some energy resources for Beast King Mountain to devour."

In any case, Ren needed to throw away trash, and it made no difference where he threw it. He had not expected Beast King Mountain to be able to swallow it. Still, today had given Ren quite a scare. The RR Virus had actually ravaged the Dog Clan and caused the entire clan to evolve.

Fortunately, the Dog Clan of the Naruto World had physiques that already surpassed dogs on Earth. They could evolve easily, and no deaths had occurred.

But Ren also became secretly wary. I cannot casually throw away trash in the future. If I ever get trash from an apocalyptic world and unleash some strange virus or bizarre radiation, I will be in trouble. Especially since the Swallowed Star world said nuclear radiation could cause the RR Virus to evolve again!

Ren fell silent inwardly, stared at the grassy field, then turned and returned to the main hall.

The moment he returned to the Dog Clan's main hall, he saw that the entire Dog Clan had emerged. Aside from the Dog Clan members that had only recently been born, the rest were at least several meters tall. Every one of them looked incredibly powerful, far surpassing those so-called toads. Even if Ren faced Bunta and directly summoned the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King, Bunta would not be a match for it. Dogs and toads were simply not on the same level.

And now that the Dog Clan had evolved through the RR Virus, compared to Mount Myoboku, they were only lacking a sage. Once Ren acquired more trash and continued nurturing the Dog Clan, surpassing Mount Myoboku would be just around the corner!

Bang...

Ren formed hand seals with both hands, instantly turning into a cloud of white smoke and vanishing from Beast King Mountain.

A moment later, Ren appeared inside his bedroom.

"Whew..." Ren exhaled a breath of stale air. "The RR Virus caused evolution, so why have I not felt myself evolve?"

Though confused, he still took out a crystal and slowly entered sleep according to the Meditation Technique from Swallowed Star.

The next day, the moment Ren entered the classroom, he saw two pairs of eyes watching him.

Mikoto looked shyly at him, curiosity in her eyes as she raised a hand and handed him a scroll.

The scroll looked ancient. One glance was enough to tell that it was quite old.

Kushina Uzumaki said, "I went back and asked Grandma. She said the Spirit-Sealing Technique is extremely vicious. To clans of Summoning Beasts, it is practically a curse. It seems that this Sealing Jutsu had already been eradicated during the Sengoku Era. What do you need that Sealing Jutsu for, Ren?"

Ren sat down in his seat and stared at the scroll, answering indifferently, "Naturally, it is because of Summoning Beasts. I found a sealed race of Summoning Beasts!"

As he spoke, Ren had already seen the Spirit-Sealing Technique recorded on the scroll. Although the Dog Clan's seal had been removed and they had even evolved, Ren was still curious about this vicious Sealing Jutsu.

But after reading further through the scroll, Ren found some experience notes on using the Sharingan. He was momentarily stunned, then looked at Mikoto. "Uh... thank you. These things are quite useful!"

Mikoto continued looking at Ren curiously, then asked softly, "Ren... why did your eyes become like that yesterday?"

Ren's mouth twitched. Who knew how he was supposed to explain that? But just as he was considering how to answer, a roar came from outside the classroom.

Nawaki rushed inside and shouted, "Ren... I need to talk to you. Come with me, quickly!"

Before Ren could say anything, Nawaki had already run over, grabbed him, and said to Mikoto and Kushina Uzumaki, "Borrowing your Ren for a moment. The news my sister sent is just too shocking!"

Assassination

"Stop... what exactly happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ren stopped walking and looked at Nawaki in confusion.
