Naruto's Trash Station

Especially during this period, in order to boost morale, the news had already spread everywhere. Many people in Konoha knew that Tsunade had erupted in the Land of Earth, killed quite a few Rock Ninja, and even injured the Tsuchikage.

Knowing how formidable Tsunade was, Ren could not help but admire her. But after Jiraiya finished speaking, Orochimaru looked over again, making Ren feel uneasy.

Suddenly, a masked person appeared and dropped to one knee. "Lady Tsunade, Lord Orochimaru, Lord Jiraiya, the Hokage has issued a summons. All resting Konoha ninja are to assemble!"

As soon as those words fell, the Sannin, who had been chatting and laughing, all fell silent, their eyes turning cold!

The Rules of the Trash Station

Time flew by, and several months passed in the blink of an eye!

Over those months, Ren had grown quite a bit, especially in height. He no longer looked anything like a six-year-old child.

At that moment, Ren sat quietly in his family courtyard, enjoying the gentle breeze as he watched the Chakra slowly rotating in his right hand.

"Buzz... buzz..."

Visible Chakra gathered together, forming a miniature tornado.

A smile appeared on Ren's face as he gazed at the blue sphere in his palm. "Rasengan!"

As his words fell, the Chakra slowly dissipated.

Ren slowly stepped out of the pool and looked up at the blue sky. "I finally mastered the Rasengan!"

Ren spoke softly, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Ever since that gathering at the training ground, two or three months had passed.

During those months, Ren had diligently trained without asking about anything else. Because he knew that summons represented the outbreak of war.

That was right, an outbreak. The Second Shinobi World War in the Naruto World had gone from its initial outbreak to a tense stalemate in the middle stage, and now it had entered its explosive final phase.

The intense slaughter of the early stage had wiped out many powerful ninja. The middle stage had relied on constant attrition and endless losses... until many powerful ninja had been tempered on the battlefield, leading to an eruption in the later stages of the Second Shinobi World War.

It could be said that the current outbreak had been entirely expected.

However, this outbreak had happened somewhat by chance, and it was even connected to Ren.

Tsunade had severely injured the Tsuchikage, damaging his waist. Although he had recovered, it had still provoked the fury of the Rock Ninja.

A grieving army was bound to win. Driven by sorrow and rage, the Rock Ninja directly invaded the Land of Fire, completely igniting the Second Shinobi World War.

Perhaps because the timeline had advanced, this war, which should have been exceptionally brutal, had become somewhat dramatic. The generation that should have matured by then seemed somewhat immature in these battles. However, as the fighting continued, they all improved, and the level of battle kept rising.

It could be said that the current course of the war was one of steadily expanding the scale of slaughter over time, pushing it to the limit, and finally erupting into an earth-shaking war.

Ren saw through it clearly, but he also knew that the current Second Shinobi World War had nothing to do with him. Perhaps he could catch the tail end of it in the future, but he truly did not want to step onto the battlefield.

It was not fear, nor was it terror. It was simply disdain. Ren knew very well that the so-called wars of the Naruto World were practically conducted as a joke.

The war between Asura and Indra had begun merely over the position of leader of Ninshu.

The wars that followed were even more absurd. During the Warring States Era, nations fought wars while ninja served as mercenaries, killing one another for money.

Sometimes, Ren truly felt emotional. Ninja clans during the Warring States Era had actually fought over money. Of course, he also knew that they began by killing for money, but eventually, through endless slaughter, they became bloodshot with rage. Money no longer mattered; it was merely hatred that drove them to fight. Perhaps Black Zetsu had stirred up some of it, but Ren still found the initial actions bizarre. If they lacked money, why not simply take it? After all, the nations of the Naruto World back then were made up of ordinary people, completely incapable of resisting ninja.

The current Second Shinobi World War was somewhat more normal, arising from imbalanced economic development between nations and leading to war. As for the later Third Shinobi World War, it erupted merely because the Third Kazekage disappeared. The Fourth Shinobi World War was even stranger—it was fought because of peace.

Although the Fourth Shinobi World War involved far too many factors, its main cause was still peace.

Thinking of that, Ren, with his memories of Earth, truly did not know what kind of peace there was to speak of. The wars of the Naruto World were simply nonsensical.

What meaning was there in him participating in such a war? Was it to improve his strength? If he wanted to improve his strength, he only needed to keep training and wait for the Trash Station's trash. Then he could steadily grow stronger.

As for combat experience, that was easy enough to obtain. He could head outside and take assassination missions. Assassination missions could not only build combat experience, but they were also safer. After all, too many possibilities existed on the battlefield. Battlefield clashes involved thousands, even tens of thousands, killing one another. Anything could happen.

Leaving that aside, Ren was very happy today because he had successfully mastered the Rasengan. ...

Ren entered the bedroom, changed clothes, and looked at himself in the mirror. "Although I mastered the Rasengan, my overall strength has improved considerably. Unfortunately, I can't obtain any trash. This is really speechless. If I don't grow stronger myself, the Trash Station can hardly spit out any trash."

Over the past few months, Ren had received trash twice, but neither batch had come from a powerful world. Because of that, he had finally figured out several characteristics of the Trash Station.

First: the stronger Ren became, the higher the grade of the trash that appeared. In other words, as Ren continued to grow stronger, the worlds from which the trash appeared would also become stronger.

Second: the frequency of trash appearing was not fixed. Aside from the Trash Station producing trash when Ren improved, there was also a fixed yearly appearance of trash. Originally, this fixed occurrence happened once a year. But as Ren grew older, it had become once every four months. It was estimated that the frequency would increase even more in the future.

Third: when Ren's strength increased, the trash he obtained came from higher-level worlds. However, the degree of this leap in trash depended on how much Ren improved. If he improved only a little, perhaps no trash would appear at all. If he improved greatly, new trash would appear, and it would come from worlds with powerful strength. In other words, the more he improved, the stronger the world from which the trash appeared.

After thoroughly understanding the rules of the Trash Station, Ren began training with clear goals.

Training in the ninja world consisted of nothing more than Chakra, ninjutsu, taijutsu, 4.0 genjutsu! Over the past few months, Ren had finally mastered the Rasengan. One had to know that in the Naruto World, the Rasengan was a ninjutsu with the greatest potential for growth. Unfortunately, after mastering the Rasengan, Ren was confident that his strength had increased greatly. At the very least, if he used the Rasengan in battle, he could absolutely defeat anyone of the same level. Yet the Trash Station showed no reaction at all, making Ren understand that although training in ninjutsu could improve strength, such improvement would not cause trash to appear.

If he wanted the Trash Station to produce trash, he needed a fundamental improvement. In other words, only when Ren's body became stronger, his spiritual power grew stronger, or his Chakra became stronger would the Trash Station produce trash. And it could not be a tiny improvement; it had to be a leap.

Useless Trash

"Phew..."

Ren entered the bedroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and said, "What exactly is going on with this Trash Station? It feels as if it is urging me to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can I become even stronger."

He shook his head, his heart filled with thoughts. This Trash Station felt like a machine designed to urge him onward, forcing Ren to improve his body, spiritual power, and Chakra.

Unfortunately, of those three, Ren could only choose to improve his body. After all, improving spiritual power required slowly cultivating the Meditation Technique step by step. Although the growth was slow, it was already good enough to have any improvement at all. To increase spiritual power greatly would require an opportunity.

Increasing Chakra was the same. Ren was only six years old. The amount of Chakra he possessed now was already terrifying. He did not want to extract too much and damage his cells, affecting his future growth.

Therefore, Ren could only strengthen his physique. However, after being tempered by the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid, his physique had already far surpassed that of children his age. Even with medicinal baths every day and Magical Beast meat every day, his improvement was still very slow.

Ren felt rather helpless about that.

Shaking his head, he noticed a pistol beside his bed, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

This pistol was one of his gains over the past few months, as well as the new trash that had appeared in the Trash Station during those months.

The first batch of trash had come from an urban world, specifically from the period of the Second World War.

When Ren saw the designation of the Independent Regiment, he knew that this was trash from the Bright Sword world.

What kind of world was the Bright Sword world? It was a world without any energy system at all. It could not even be considered a technological world, since technology during the Second World War in the Bright Sword world was not advanced.

This batch of trash seemed to have come from the Yamamoto Squad's raid. Ren had obtained quite a few guns and cannons, but how powerful could firearms and artillery from the Second World War be? The only worthwhile gains were one intact cannon and three shells. Apart from those, there was only the pistol beside Ren's bed, which seemed to be the one Chu Yunfei had given Li Yunlong!

Aside from those, there were many corpses and damaged guns and cannons. All of them had been thrown into Beast King Mountain for it to digest and devour, while the broken firearms and artillery had been used to forge weapons. After all, the Bulldog and Bully Dog of the Dog Clan were natural blacksmiths and could forge many weapons. Having this steel was not bad either.
