Naruto's Trash Station

Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, releasing his sensory ability.

At that moment, the Rock Ninja who had seemed so fast to Ren now felt slow under his perception.

Ren instinctively turned around and said, "Katsuyu, be careful! There's something underground!"

As soon as he spoke, Ren dodged the Rock Ninja's Kunai.

A flicker of surprise appeared in the Rock Ninja's eyes. "A sensory ability!"

The ground trembled faintly. Katsuyu, who had been about to provide support, was blocked by a Pangolin that burst out of the earth.

The earth-brown Pangolin did not look large, but it was clearly a Summoning Beast.

No wonder these Rock Ninja had received the news so quickly. They had a Summoning Beast!

As Ren pondered this, a Rock Ninja said, "Captain... can we use ninjutsu?"

The two Rock Ninja in the distance were fighting Nawaki. He was already ten years old, and with the Senju Clan's training, he was more than capable of handling two ninjas on his own.

The captain dodged Nawaki's punch and said, "Idiot... do you want to draw Konoha's ninjas here? We absolutely can't use ninjutsu. If we make too much noise and attract Konoha's ninjas, we're finished!"

The Rock Ninja nodded, then looked at Ren. "Even if we can't use ninjutsu, how long can a little brat of five or six possibly hold out?"

As he spoke, he threw out his Kunai, accompanied by three shuriken.

Ren released his sensory ability and clearly sensed the Kunai and shuriken flying through Kong, but he roared inwardly, Move!

His body moved in an instant, but he still could not evade them completely.

"Rip..."

The Kunai scraped along Ren's left arm, carving open a huge gash.

Pain filled Ren's eyes, along with unwillingness. His sensory ability could clearly perceive the movements of the shuriken and Kunai, but his body could not keep up with their speed or react quickly enough. Thus, he dodged the three shuriken but failed to avoid the Kunai.

Ren's body was still far too weak.

The Rock Ninja sneered, drew out a Kunai, and glanced at the battle. "Tsunade's Katsuyu has been blocked by the Pangolin. Nawaki is worthy of being from a great clan; he can actually withstand two people surrounding him. I'm the weakest of the three, yet you're even weaker than I am. The next attack will be your death."

After saying that, he casually twirled the Kunai around his fingertips. Then a ruthless look crossed his face as he charged at Ren.

"Whew..." Ren exhaled a breath of foul air, his gaze calm. "Still using a Kunai? Then I don't need to worry so much. Now, I'll make you die!"

Filled with anger, Ren stared at the blood slowly flowing from his left arm and felt the killing intent in his heart. This was the first time Ren had been injured. How could he not be furious? Under the surge of rage, the tension from his first battle eased as well.

Or rather, Ren had long known he would face such situations in the future.

Ren's eyes gleamed with coldness as he released his sensory ability and sensed the Rock Ninja rushing toward him.

Seeing Ren remain motionless, the Rock Ninja smiled cruelly. "Die!"

At that moment, Ren silently said, Release!

A cloud of smoke appeared, and a tachi materialized in Ren's hand.

"Clang..."

A silver flash streaked through the air, and the Rock Ninja stared stupidly at Ren. "How is that possible?!"

The Rock Ninja's Kunai had been cut in half, along with his right arm.

"Ahhh..."

He let out an agonized roar. Chakra surged into Ren's feet, and he shot forward.

"Rip..."

In an instant, the Rock Ninja was cut in half at the waist.

Ren's eyes remained cold. "Idiot... trying to block this tachi with a Kunai? Are you looking to die?"

Ren's tachi came from the world of Devour Star. It was the tachi that had pierced through that corpse. The weapons of the Devour Star world were all forged from Kro Alloy. Kro Alloy was made from the corpses of Devour Star monsters and the metal known as Blue Gold discovered on the moon. It was a material that surpassed diamonds. How could Kunai from the Naruto World compare?

Chapter 42: Flames of Rage

"Hiss..."

The Rock Ninja in the distance inhaled sharply, staring at Ren in disbelief.

Ren looked only five or six years old, yet he had slain a Genin. Although that Genin was not particularly strong and was only somewhat stronger than an ordinary person, he was already over twenty years old. Yet he had been killed while fighting a child.

The captain of the three wore a gloomy expression. "That weapon!"

That was right, it was the weapon. Ren's tachi came from the world of Devour Star, forged from an alloy harder than diamonds. It was simply not something Kunai from the Naruto World could compare to. When Ren had cut through the Kunai earlier, it had felt as effortless as cutting tofu. When he cut through that Rock Ninja, it had been like slicing through air.

This tachi was far too sharp. Ren did not know whether it could compare to Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword, but in terms of sharpness, they were probably not far apart.

"Whew..."

Ren exhaled, his hands trembling faintly as he silently calmed his shaken heart. Yes, he had just killed someone, and he was inevitably shaken. Although he had known he would kill people someday, killing someone now still left him somewhat shaken.

Nawaki, looking somewhat bedraggled in the distance, shouted, "Ren... get out of here quickly and find help!"

Hearing this, Ren was about to leave.

Suddenly, Ren felt a thread of alarm fill his heart.

His sensory ability immediately detected something as well, and he swung his blade straight ahead.

"Bang..."

A person appeared, landing a punch on Ren's abdomen. Ren was sent flying, then crashed into the training ground in the distance.

"Cough..."

Ren spat out a mouthful of blood. Feeling the pain in his abdomen, his eyes turned crimson. "Body Flicker Technique... you're a Jonin!"

Before him stood a man in civilian clothes, his face cold and indifferent. This man could use the Body Flicker Technique, a ninjutsu only Jonin could perform.

At that moment, the man stared at his own shoulder before looking toward Ren. "What a sharp tachi. A mere brush against it left such a huge wound. That piece of trash didn't die unjustly!"

As he spoke, he stepped on the Genin Ren had killed and slowly walked over.

Ren said, "What is going on? How did a Jonin from Iwagakure appear in Konoha? Were you not discovered?"

The Rock Ninja in the distance showed great respect at this man's appearance. Clearly, he truly was a Jonin.
