Trash Station of Naruto

However, the rock wall had also offset the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King's claw strike. Ren slowly rose to his feet. With the energy accumulated in his cells and his immense spiritual power, more than half the Chakra in his body had already recovered. His senses spread out, his sharp gaze locking onto the three Rock Ninja as his hands rapidly formed seals. "Fire Release—Flame Bullet!"

At that moment, Ren fired a fireball. It was not large, barely half a meter in diameter. Yet the flames burning within it were terrifying, especially the faint purple tint flickering across them. It was not the purple glow of the Fireball Jutsu, but a layer of violet flames wrapped around it.

Flame Bullet and Fireball Jutsu were ninjutsu of the same rank, but one was an area attack while the other was concentrated. By compressing the flames into a Flame Bullet, it possessed not only powerful explosive force, but also terrifying heat!

At that moment, the Flame Bullet shot directly into the distant dust, descending toward one of the Rock Ninja.

The Jonin within the dust instantly felt a pang of dread. However, with the dust concealing everything, they could not detect it at all.

When the flames came within six meters of them, one Rock Ninja immediately said, "Earth Release—Rock Iron Cannon Jutsu!"

A small rock shot from his mouth at incredible speed, then expanded into a three-meter-wide boulder.

Boom...

The scorching Flame Bullet collided with the boulder. Yet after only a moment, the center of the rock turned red, and a blazing fireball burst through it.

Seeing this, a Rock Ninja said, "How is that possible? How can those flames penetrate rock?!"

One Rock Ninja threw a Kunai. "Could this be a transformation in Fire-nature Chakra? But how could a Genin perform a nature transformation that only Jonin train in?"

The Kunai melted the instant it was thrown.

However, the Flame Bullet also lost its momentum and instantly exploded into a burst of fire.

The three Rock Ninja vanished with the Body Flicker Technique, evading the terrifying explosion.

Sensing all this, Ren said, "What a pity. But a Jonin is still a Jonin. Even with a sneak attack aided by the dust, I couldn't kill even one of them. Still, it proves how terrifying Fire Release is. I wonder just how horrifying those flames will become once I cultivate Fire-nature Chakra and fuse it with the heat from Magical Beast meat!"

As Ren pondered, the ground began to tremble.

The three Jonin bit their fingers and pressed them against the ground!

"Summoning Technique!"

A massive seal appeared, and the ground faintly cracked as a huge Pangolin emerged. Its pitch-black scales made it look extraordinary.

The flames scattered through the gale landed on its scales, leaving only faint black marks without causing any real damage.

Ren narrowed his eyes. "So it's this kind of Summoning Beast too!"

Ren was very familiar with Pangolins. Back when he and Nawaki had been assassinated, he had seen one. Later, Jiraiya had told him that because the Land of Earth possessed abundant ore deposits, it had attracted the Pangolin Clan. Pangolins fed on all kinds of minerals, which was why they had formed a contract with Iwagakure.

Many Jonin of Iwagakure had contracts with the Pangolin Clan.

Compared to the small Pangolin from before, the one before him was far more powerful.

The three Jonin stood atop the Pangolin, glaring furiously at Ren. "Brat... it seems this mission is doomed to fail. But since you ruined our plan, don't even think about leaving alive."

It had to be said that the three Jonin of Iwagakure were furious. They had gathered food here in Konoha, intending to secretly transport it back to the Land of Earth to provide relief for citizens who lacked even basic food and clothing. After all, the Land of Earth had barren soil and extremely low crop yields.

Who could have expected Ren to summon a Summoning Beast right away—and such a huge one at that? This would definitely draw Konoha's attention, leaving them no time to transport the food back.

Therefore, the three Jonin of Iwagakure were thoroughly enraged. Without caring about anything else, they summoned their own Summoning Beast and swore to kill Ren to vent their anger.

Chapter 67: Fighting Jonin

"Roar..."

The black Pangolin's sharp claws glinted with cold light as it stared at the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King in faint provocation.

Killing intent flashed in the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King's scarlet eyes, flames swirling around its sharp fangs.

This was the fighting spirit of two Summoning Beasts. In particular, since its birth, this was the first Summoning Beast the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King had encountered outside the Dog Clan. The boiling blood within it had already ignited.

Ren also stared at the three Jonin. He bit his finger again and rapidly formed seals with both hands. "Summoning Technique!"

A black War Dog appeared. "Master!"

Ren looked at the War Dog. "Lead Kushina and Mikoto away. Leave this place to me!"

Kushina and Mikoto had been terrified from the very beginning. It was their first mission, yet they had encountered such a huge battle. Naturally, they found it difficult to accept. Compared to Ren, Kushina and Mikoto were still nothing more than children.

Ren had memories from his previous life, and after seeing all kinds of strange Trash over the years, he had long grown accustomed to such scenes. He still remembered a batch of Trash that had once come from ancient Earth. That Trash had been a battlefield—a bloody battlefield. What appeared had been countless corpses, bodies with severed limbs.

That time, Ren had nearly vomited his guts out. He had seen dead people and had even killed before, but faced with tens of thousands of bloody corpses laid out before him, he still could not control himself.

In the end, all those corpses had turned to nothingness on Beast King Mountain. After all, Beast King Mountain could devour such things.

It was precisely because of these experiences that Ren had long adapted to grand scenes.

At that moment, the War Dog landed beside Kushina and Mikoto. "Ladies, please come with me."

Ren no longer paid attention to what was happening behind him. His gaze remained fixed solely on the three Jonin before him.

Ren did not know what to say. On his first mission, he had encountered such terrifying opponents. He truly wondered whether Tsunade had just lost money before choosing this mission.

At that moment, Ren narrowed his eyes, holding the Stellar Katana before him. "Go!"

As his words fell, the Ghost-Faced Tibetan Mastiff exploded into motion.

"Roar..."

Terrifying fangs extended, every one of them wreathed in flames.

The Ghost-Faced Mastiff King crashed into the Pangolin, while the three Rock Ninja charged directly at Ren.

Sharp Kunai slashed straight toward Ren.

Ren raised the Stellar Katana. "Kunai? You're too laughable!"

Clang...

With one slash, he severed the incoming Kunai and charged straight at one of the Rock Ninja.

That Rock Ninja looked surprised. "What a sharp blade."

Then he vanished from Ren's sight with the Body Flicker Technique.

Ren leaped forward and vanished from where he stood. The Jonin who had just disappeared was now standing in the distance.

The Body Flicker Technique was merely rapid movement, not some kind of space-time ninjutsu. Once it was used, it was difficult to escape Ren's sensory abilities.

Fortunately, Ren was only facing one Jonin now. The other two had been held back by the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King.
