Naruto's Trash Station

With so much chakra, Ren could finally spend it freely. And as his physique grew stronger, he would have even more chakra in the future. With the Trash Station, reaching Tailed Beast-level chakra was perfectly normal.

Unfortunately, compared to the increase in chakra, the improvement to his physique was somewhat lacking—only twice as strong. But Ren did not care much, since physique and chakra were different.

The Sled Dog also sensed Ren's strength and said, "Master... with your current chakra, you can summon one of us Eight-Headed Hounds to fight outside. Over the next few days, I will choose one from among the Eight-Headed Hounds and raise its strength as quickly as possible, so it can help you fight."

Ren chuckled. "Mm... that sounds good. Then hurry and raise it. But what breed is this little fellow, exactly?"

His gaze settled on the white puppy being cared for, and Ren was deeply puzzled. A dog that had hatched from an egg was bizarre no matter how he thought about it. If not for the fact that anything could happen in Swallowed Star, he would have thought a monster had appeared.

The Sheepdog shook its head. "Master... I do not know either. I have delivered many kinds of dogs, but I have never seen one like this. It looks somewhat like a wolfdog, but also like a Husky. Its little teeth especially resemble those of a Tibetan Mastiff..."

Ren fell silent. This little fellow had actually inherited the traits of quite a few dog breeds.

Ren said, "Fine... I'll leave this little fellow to you. Since its origins are unusual, its potential should be terrifying once it grows up. Perhaps the Dog Clan will produce someone capable of standing against the Toad Sage and the Snake Sage!"

The Sheepdog did not react much to those words, but the Sled Dog became solemn, and the way it looked at the little fellow changed. Ren was not joking, either. After all, this was a canine from the world of Swallowed Star. Having undergone evolution from the RR Virus, nuclear radiation, and certain bloodlines, its potential was naturally enormous.

The appearance of living animals this time made Ren want to ask Akatsuki whether the Trash Station would produce more living creatures in the future. It would be great if a few demonic beasts or divine beasts from an immortal cultivation world appeared. Unfortunately, that was only wishful thinking. Who knew whether such things would ever appear?

Just as Ren was preparing to leave, several Papillons walked in and said, "Master... Master... the soil has all been cleared away, and we found quite a few good things!"

Hearing that, Ren asked, "What else was there?"

As soon as he spoke, several Bully Dogs carried over some stones. They were stone-made utensils, such as stone pots, stone spears, and stone mills... In short, they looked quite exquisite.

Ren examined them and, with Akatsuki's help, recognized them as the daily utensils of Bèi Village. After all, this batch of trash had come from Bèi Village in Perfect World.

However, one Papillon added, "Besides these, there were some unknown seeds and a broken piece of lingzhi. Sister Sheepdog took them away to cultivate."

Ren nodded. "I see. It seems I overlooked quite a few things. When trash appears in the future, I should come directly to the Dog Clan. It would be bad if I missed something again."

Ren muttered to himself, then continued, "Handle these things yourselves. Also, over the next few days, I'll gradually send some supplies here. Sled Dog, quickly cultivate the abilities of the various dog breeds!"

The Sled Dog nodded. "Yes, Master!"

Ren nodded, then formed hand seals with both hands and vanished from Beast King Mountain in a cloud of smoke!

Bang...

In the quiet bedroom, Ren reappeared.

His physique had strengthened, and his chakra had increased. Ren was now several times stronger. But strength was one thing; he still needed to digest it properly. The enhanced chakra needed to be brought under control, and his increased strength also needed time to adapt. With so much chakra now, Ren could also begin practicing some ninjutsu. In particular, he could create the famous Rasengan and Chidori from later generations now. After all, Akatsuki knew their principles!

Especially Minato, the creator of the Rasengan—he was still just a little kid attending school!

As for Kakashi, the creator of Chidori, his father had not even gotten married yet!

"Whew..."

Ren exhaled a breath of stale air. Seeing that it was already dark outside, Akatsuki realized that half a day had passed since he entered the Dog Clan at noon.

Ren changed his clothes, then prepared to eat and sleep!

Tsunade's Kiss

Konoha, Training Ground One.

Ren stared at the people before him, his heart filled with conflict.

Originally, Ren had been resting at home, since he had spent the past few days rebuilding the Dog Clan. Madara Uchiha's massacre and the Spirit-Sealing Technique had destroyed the Dog Clan's entire training system, and much of its equipment had been damaged as well. Therefore, Ren needed to purchase these things and help the Dog Clan rebuild.

Fortunately, Ren came from a wealthy family, and he himself had built that wealth. His grandfather had originally only run a hot spring business, but when Ren was three or four years old, he had his family develop into the restaurant business, clothing business, and more...

It could be said that with financial support and some of Ren's advice, the business had expanded severalfold. Even several casinos in Konoha were properties under Ren's name.

On the surface, Ren's grandfather managed them, but Ren could bypass his grandfather directly and command those businesses.

Thus, Ren controlled those businesses and purchased large quantities of medicinal herb seeds, medicinal herbs, cloth, leather, ores, and more...

During wartime, these things were indispensable supplies. Moreover, the businesses under Ren had already stockpiled quite a lot. Now that they were buying in bulk, no one found it strange. Everyone simply assumed it was ordinary commercial stockpiling.

What they did not know was that Ren had sent all of those supplies to the Dog Clan.

Within the Dog Clan, the various dogs had formed different professions. Bully Dogs and Bulldogs were naturally proficient in construction and forging. Papillons were skilled tailors, while Sheepdogs were even proficient with medicine... Thus, once these supplies entered the Dog Clan, they were quickly put to use. The Dog Clan, which had been silent for decades, was steadily recovering its former strength.

Because of this, Ren had been incredibly busy these past few days. Every day, he transferred supplies into Beast King Mountain, and he also took the opportunity to train there.

Who would have thought that just as he finally rested today, Nawaki would drag him over here?

Ren found it strange. Having just survived an assassination attempt, Nawaki should have been kept under strict protection. Yet Nawaki had somehow run out and even dragged Ren to the training ground.

No matter how he thought about it, it was strange. After all, that assassination attempt had caused Konoha to lose far too many people.

The Hyuga Clan, the Uchiha Clan, the Shino Clan... These clans skilled in sensing had each begun screening Konoha for spies. In just a few days, no one knew how many spies had been taken into ANBU. Being taken into ANBU meant death—or something even worse than death!

The Ninja Academy had also closed for a month in order to strengthen its security measures and prevent such incidents from happening again. Even several training grounds were being renovated.

It had to be said that the Senju Clan's influence in Konoha was far too great now.

Especially since the Senju Clan still had one person: Mito Uzumaki.

Mito Uzumaki was the First Hokage's wife and the most honored person in Konoha. In some respects, even Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, could not compare to Mito Uzumaki.

Moreover, Mito Uzumaki was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. In some respects, even Hiruzen Sarutobi had to heed her words.

Especially after this assassination attempt, Mito Uzumaki had become furious.

Thus, the entire Ninja Academy was being reorganized, and so many clans had mobilized.

That was Mito Uzumaki's influence. Even the Uchiha Clan, which did not get along with her, had to cooperate.

Yet Nawaki, the center of this entire upheaval, was still carelessly dragging Ren toward the training ground.

Ren was speechless over this, but when he spread out his sensory ability, he discovered many people protecting them in secret. That put him at ease.

The moment they arrived at the training ground, Ren discovered that those protectors had vanished. Then several people appeared, giving him an odd feeling.

Nawaki said, "Haha... I finally got out. I was almost bored to death at home these past few days. If my sister had not returned, I probably would not have been allowed out even today."

Akatsuki now understood how Nawaki had gotten out. The person before him was Tsunade. Not only was Tsunade here, but Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Kushina Uzumaki were here as well!

The future Three Sannin were all here, so Nawaki's safety was naturally guaranteed.

With a faint smile, Tsunade slowly walked over and said, "Ren, kid... I really have to thank you. You not only helped me, but also helped Nawaki!"
