Trash Station in Naruto

As he spoke slowly, Ren vanished from the bedroom.

Ren still remembered that, at the moment he had fallen unconscious yesterday, new trash had appeared in the Trash Station, waiting for him to collect it. At the time, he had found it strange. Why had killing someone produced new trash? Only now did he understand. After that battle, Ren felt that he had improved greatly, and it had been an all-around improvement. No wonder people often said that the line between life and death held both great terror and great opportunities. Having gone through that brush with death, Ren had grown considerably stronger. The appearance of trash in the Trash Station also proved that as Ren grew, the Trash Station would produce trash. If he did not improve, the Trash Station would still produce trash, but the grade of the trash would not be high.

In the silent space, distorted space slowly drew Ren in.

Standing in the empty Trash Station, Ren said, "Sure enough, it looks much more comfortable without any trash."

Perhaps because he was something of a neat freak, Ren did not like having piles of trash sitting in his Trash Station all the time.

Ren stared at the distorted vortex in the center and said, "Pour it out. I hope something better appears this time!"

0.6

As soon as he spoke, the distorted vortex spewed out trash.

Boom...

A thunderous sound rang out as the distorted vortex in space sprayed out an enormous amount of trash.

The trash poured down and instantly formed a small mountain of debris.

Ren narrowed his eyes. "What... Why is there so much? There's even more than the trash that came from Swallowed Star last time."

Swallowed Star had been an apocalypse to begin with, with trash covering the streets. That was why there had been so much trash last time. Yet the trash that appeared this time was even more plentiful.

Chapter Forty-Four: From Perfect World

"Hmm... What world did this trash come from?"

The thought arose in Ren's mind as his gaze fell upon the distant pile of trash.

The rubbish had piled up into a hill more than ten meters tall. Compared to the trash from Swallowed Star, there were no steel bars or plastic in this pile—only dirt, broken stones, chunks of wood...

Ren walked forward, his eyes faintly vigilant.

Ever since learning that trash could contain corpses, Ren had realized that so-called trash was not necessarily safe. What if some dead person had left behind some kind of contingency? Then he would be in serious trouble.

He slowly approached the hill and looked over the broken rocks, clumps of dirt, and wood pieces... There seemed to be nothing else. Perhaps some treasure was hidden inside the hill, but with a mound more than ten meters high, who knew how long it would take Ren to clear it all away?

Just as Ren considered entering Beast King Mountain and having the Dog Clan help clear it out, a rumble sounded.

Boom...

A stone at the top of the hill slowly rolled down and struck a huge object, knocking it down as well.

Ren immediately pulled a scroll from his blade pouch and formed hand seals with both hands. "Release!"

White smoke appeared, followed by a sharp katana. This katana had come from Swallowed Star.

Ren gripped the katana tightly and assumed a guarded stance, his eyes fixed on the strange object that had fallen before him. It was wrapped in clumps of mud, making it impossible to tell what it was.

After thinking for a moment, Ren slowly raised his katana and slashed at the object before him.

Bang...

The blade struck it instantly, but Ren's hands went numb, and he could not cut through the object at all.

"Damn... What is this thing? This is a weapon from Swallowed Star, yet it can't even cut through this strange object." Ren spoke in shock. However, the strange object before him slowly revealed its true form.

The mud wrapped around the place he had struck gradually fell away, revealing a bronze color.

Ren frowned slightly. "This is a cauldron!"

Ren examined the entire strange object and the patterns that had emerged. It was clearly a massive cauldron.

Ren immediately raised his katana and cleared away all the dirt covering the cauldron.

Before long, a cauldron stood before Ren.

The cauldron looked ancient and simple, clearly no ordinary object. In ancient times, cauldrons had been objects only the imperial family could use. Even in other worlds, cauldrons were objects of great importance. This bone cauldron before him looked extraordinary and even emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.

At that moment, Ren stared at a bone lying before the ancient cauldron. It had fallen out of the mud, and faint ancient characters were carved upon it.

"Vicious beasts!"

"Wilderness!"

"Bone Script!"

Seeing this, realization dawned in Ren's heart. "It's actually Perfect World. This... this... is truly unbelievable!"

Ren was shaken. The trash before him had come from Perfect World. What kind of world was Perfect World? It was an existence far beyond Battle Through the Heavens World. Its cultivation system was incomparably terrifying; there were plenty of people capable of blowing up a planet with a single punch.

Ren narrowed his eyes as he stared at the giant cauldron before him, his heart surging with excitement. An ancient cauldron from Perfect World was definitely no simple thing. Perhaps it was even a supreme treasure. After all, cauldrons were considered highly revered objects in Perfect World.

Excitement filled Ren's heart. He then stared at the hill and began searching through it eagerly for hidden treasures.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous hill had collapsed. Most of it had been dirt mixed with stones. Ren cut apart several rocks, and the entire hill crumbled open.

At that moment, a massive tiger appeared before Ren.

The tiger's entire body was red and gave off a faint heat. It was already dead, as though someone had killed it.

Ren stared at a piece of beast hide before him. Some writing was recorded on it, resembling someone's diary!

"Revenge is impossible. Shi Hao is too strong. How could I take revenge? Although I am the last survivor of Bèi Village, I do not have the strength to seek revenge against Willow Village. Especially now that a Shi Hao has appeared in Willow Village—who would dare provoke Willow Village? I shall spend the rest of my days alone here."

"Sigh... Shi Hao has returned. I should go out and hide for a while as well. Although a great figure like him would not care about an ant like me, I still do not want to watch my enemy grow stronger."

The words on the beast hide revealed a sense of loneliness, as well as unwillingness.

From the words recorded on the beast hide, Ren learned that this trash had come from Bèi Village. In the early stages of Perfect World, Willow Village, where Shi Hao lived, had endured an invasion from nearby Bèi Village. In the end, Willow Deity unleashed its might and exterminated all of Bèi Village. Unexpectedly, one person from Bèi Village had survived. Yet after learning of Shi Hao's strength, he had abandoned the thought of revenge and secluded himself amid the ruins of Bèi Village. Who would have thought that when he went out to hide, an earthquake would strike Bèi Village, turning it into trash that entered the Trash Station?

Looking at the trash before him, Ren said, "This trash came from Perfect World, and from that early Bèi Village. That means this ancient cauldron must be Bèi Village's medicinal cauldron."

Perfect World had a tradition of medicinal baths. This was especially true for children, who used medicinal baths to strengthen their bodies. The tool used for strengthening the body was an ancient cauldron. Blazing flames burned beneath it, causing the water inside to boil. Then, according to ancient formulas, medicinal herbs, spiders, true blood from vicious beasts, crushed bones... these ingredients were refined together. A person would enter the medicinal cauldron and endure the pain within, greatly strengthening their physique.

The protagonist of Perfect World, Shi Hao, had begun taking such medicinal baths at the age of one or two, laying down an immensely powerful foundation.

The ancient cauldron before Ren had come from Bèi Village. Ren did not know how long Bèi Village's inheritance had lasted, but the longer a medicinal cauldron was used, the more medicinal essence it would absorb. It might even transform into a treasure.

Even if it was not a treasure, however, the ancient cauldron before him was still a treasure to Ren. After all, the worlds were different, and so were their physiques. At the very least, Ren believed that even adults in the Naruto World would have their physiques utterly surpassed by children from Perfect World.

Especially since the medicinal cauldron before him came from Bèi Village. Even if it could not compare to Willow Village's medicinal cauldron, it was still far better than newly forged medicinal cauldrons!
