Trash Station in Naruto

Inside the medicine cauldron, a green medicinal bath filled the air.

The green medicinal bath gave off a fragrant scent. The Sheepdog, familiar with medicinal herbs, took a light sniff. "How amazing... I can sense strange herbs. They all seem to be herbs I've never encountered before!"

Ren looked at the Sheepdog in surprise. How could she sense the herbs within the medicinal bath? The Sled Dog said, "Master... ever since the first generation of Sheepdogs was born, they have possessed the ability to identify medicinal herbs. According to the Dog Sage, this ability was bestowed by the God Tree Fragments. Sheepdogs can detect the scent of any medicinal herb through their sense of smell. Some medicines can even have their formulas identified after a Sheepdog takes just one sniff!"

Ren sighed with emotion. "How remarkable. This is an ability bestowed by the God Tree. It truly is a perfect medical ability!"

The Sheepdog grew bashful. After all, she was a female dog, and she was still quite young. She asked in confusion, "Master... the scent of these herbs is so unfamiliar. I don't think I've ever come into contact with them before. And how were they refined?"

Ren did not know how to answer. After all, he was not an alchemist. Even if he knew the formula, it would still be difficult to refine it.

Ren slowly removed his clothes and stepped into the medicine cauldron before him.

"Hiss..."

The moment Ren entered the cauldron, he sucked in a cold breath.

The medicinal bath was not particularly hot, more like a hot spring. Yet the instant he entered it, Ren felt streams of energy entering his body. With every breath he took, the green medicinal bath seemed to turn into vapor, slowly flowing through his breathing and drilling into his body.

The moment it entered his body, Ren felt a tearing pain.

It was as though the energy had entered his flesh and blood, clearing away impurities.

Ren's face twisted in pain. He endured it and slowly began refining his Chakra.

Refining Chakra seemed to lessen the pain.

However, as Ren refined his Chakra, the green aura actually seeped through his skin and entered his pores, rushing directly toward his bones.

It was as though his bones were being torn apart, like marrow cleansing, leaving Ren in agony.

As Ren cultivated, his physique continuously strengthened, and his Chakra steadily grew as well.

The Chakra flowed slowly, leaving Ren unable to determine just what level his current Chakra reserves had reached. Still, Ren knew they could not surpass those of the Uzumaki Clan. Different physiques meant different amounts of Chakra. Perhaps Ren's Chakra would one day become vast enough to surpass the Uzumaki Clan's, but for now, he still could not compare to them. Besides, the Uchiha Clan did not naturally possess much Chakra to begin with.

As Ren cultivated, the green medicinal bath did not fade and remained green. The medicinal power continuously entered his body, while Ren's physique gradually reached the limit of what it could endure.

After all, Ren was only six years old and had celebrated his sixth birthday not long ago. How much medicinal power could the body of a six-year-old child withstand? His face was filled with pain, and the Chakra within his body slowly spread outside, visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, the Sled Dog said, "This is bad... Master cannot endure these herbs. Quickly, pull Master out!"

The Sheepdog nodded and moved to pull Ren from the medicinal bath.

However, the moment she extended her paw, she discovered that the Chakra Ren had released outside his body was consciously blocking her.

The strange sight startled the Sled Dog as well. However, he did not panic and prepared to act himself. Compared to the Sheepdog, the Sled Dog's combat power was far more formidable.

Yet just as the Sled Dog stepped forward, a white egg faintly flew over from somewhere within the hall.

The egg shot over and dropped into the medicinal bath.

The green medicinal power was instantly absorbed by the egg. Seeing this, the Sled Dog said, "This is the egg Master brought."

Ever since he had contracted with the Dog Clan, Ren had brought all his treasures to the Dog Clan. With the loyal Dog Clan guarding them, those treasures were naturally safe.

As for the monster egg he had obtained from Swallowed Star, Ren had originally planned to let the Dog Clan incubate it and see what would hatch. However, it had shown no response all this time, and he had assumed it was a dead egg. Ren had even considered boiling and eating it, but he gave up because of the RR Virus. It would have been terrible if eating the egg infected him with the RR Virus as well.

Who would have thought that the egg was not dead? It had now appeared inside the medicine cauldron and was slowly devouring the medicinal power. ...

The medicinal power Ren had been unable to endure was instantly devoured by the egg.

Ren slowly let out a breath, then opened his eyes. "That was close!"

Although Ren's eyes had been closed, his spiritual power had still been observing everything. Especially after obtaining a meditation method, his spiritual power had improved rapidly. Combined with his grandfather's guidance, he had achieved excellent control over his perception.

Ren naturally knew that the one who had saved him was the egg he had nearly abandoned.

At that moment, the egg slowly spun as it devoured the green medicinal power!

As it devoured, the energy within the medicinal bath was completely consumed, with a portion absorbed by the medicine cauldron. However, faint cracks appeared over the egg before him.

"Crack... crack..."

The sound of breaking rang out. Ren no longer cared about his own changes and instead asked, "Is it about to hatch?"

The Sheepdog nodded. "Master... this egg is about to hatch. I wonder what will emerge."

Suddenly, a tiny head poked out, its hazy eyes looking at Ren.

Ren stared in shock. "What is going on? A dog came out of the egg!"

The head before him appeared, and Ren instantly recognized it as a dog. He could guarantee that with absolute certainty, considering he had contracted with the Dog Clan.

Ren was not the only one surprised. The Sheepdog was also astonished. "Master... I've delivered quite a few babies, but I've never seen a dog emerge from an egg!"

Ren did not know how to explain it. After all, it came from the world of Swallowed Star. It was perfectly normal for animals there to undergo strange changes.

The little white dog then crawled completely out of the eggshell and began paddling unsteadily through the medicinal bath, which no longer contained any medicinal power.

Ren picked up the little white dog and handed it to the Sheepdog. "What breed of dog is this?"

As he asked, Ren slowly jumped out of the medicine cauldron. Unlike before, he felt that his physique had strengthened considerably. More importantly, he discovered that his Chakra had increased tenfold.

Terrifying Effects

"Chakra increased tenfold!"

Ren sensed the Chakra within his body and felt faintly shocked.

Ren had not possessed much Chakra to begin with. After all, he was still young and could not excessively extract energy from his cells, since that energy also had to support his physical development. However, the Chakra within Ren's body had not been insignificant either. He took medicinal baths every day, ate Magical Beast meat daily, had recently undergone a tempering by the Dog Sage, and had also consumed Qilin Resin. These enhancements had made Ren's Chakra reserves quite considerable. Among children his age, he was already close to Nawaki.

Nawaki came from the Senju Clan, after all, and his physique was naturally powerful. As the direct grandson of the First Hokage, his body was even stronger, and the Chakra he refined was extraordinary as well.

Now that Ren's Chakra had increased tenfold, it was already comparable to Kushina Uzumaki's.

That was right, comparable to Kushina's.

Kushina was from the Uzumaki Clan, whose Chakra could only be described as terrifying. In particular, Kushina had been chosen to become a Jinchuriki. Her Chakra and physique were both among the finest in the Uzumaki Clan, because sealing the Nine-Tails also required a powerful physique and Chakra to keep it in balance.

Now, an Uchiha Clan member like Ren possessed Chakra comparable to that of the Uzumaki Clan. Although it was only compared to an Uzumaki Clan member of the same age, it was still absolutely unimaginable.

The Uchiha Clan's physique did not naturally possess much Chakra. In the original story, when Sasuke fought Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke exhausted all his Chakra after using only several large-scale ninjutsu.

For Ren's current Chakra to rival that of the Uzumaki Clan was nothing short of a miracle.

This amount of Chakra was enough for Ren to use some large-scale ninjutsu. In the past, the Chakra in Ren's body would be completely depleted after casting three Fireball Jutsu. Now that it had increased tenfold, he could cast thirty Fireball Jutsu.
