"I'll tell you after I confirm it's safe," Jay replied to Ameno.
He asked her to remain calm and wait until he was sure everything was correct.
#######
After a night of extensive discussion with Ameno, Jay decided to immediately try the inter-world teleportation he'd obtained from the system.
This time, his destination was to return to the cave where he'd previously stored food.
Jay chose that location because it was safe and secluded, allowing him more freedom to do as he pleased.
Inside the cave, Jay communicated with the system, "System, use inter-world teleportation."
[Ding, world teleportation open... please state the world you wish to visit] The system immediately processed Jay's request.
"Naruto Ninja World," Jay replied quickly.
[Ding... request confirmed... please wait...] After finishing his answer,
A magical portal suddenly appeared in front of Jay, about 2 meters wide and dark.
[Portal connected... host please pass through the portal] Soon the system's voice sounded.
"Ohh... finally... but wait... let's use a clone as a safer measure." Jay decided not to be rash and formed a seal.
"Seal... shadow clone jutsu... pfoo!" Immediately, a shadow clone resembling Jay appeared beside him.
"What's wrong?" the clone asked Jay.
"Please, brother, check the other side of this portal and make sure it's safe," Jay instructed his clone.
"Okay, wait here a moment," then with firm steps, Jay's clone entered and passed through the interworld portal.
###
Poof, Jay's clone.
"Ehhhh... it doesn't feel like anything, like just passing through a slightly dark path," Jay's clone commented after successfully passing through the portal.
"And... where is this?" With a confused expression, the clone then found himself in an unfamiliar forest.
The forest wasn't dense and dense like the forests in Jay's current world, and the clone faintly sensed a warm air that seemed to mix with the air.
The heat was slightly intense and not as humid as most forests, so the clone felt strange.
"This is in the forest, but the air feels dry and pungent. How strange... let's see where we are." Feeling strange and confused, Jay's clone moved toward the dry, pungent air.
A few minutes later, after moving quickly, a large expanse of desert appeared before his eyes.
"Wow... this is a vast desert... it seems I've arrived at the border of Sunagakure Village, but I don't know exactly where. Let's report this to the main body." After seeing enough, the clone returned to where he had appeared and quickly re-entered the portal.
(For the record, the portal Jay opened is invisible to anyone, even with any jutsu.)
Upon returning to the cave where Jay was, the clone immediately disappeared, allowing Jay to view his memories.
"Oh, it's near the border of the sand village, but I don't know the exact location, and everything seems safe, so let's go to the ninja world." Jay, feeling safe, immediately passed through the interworld portal that remained in front of him.
And just like his clone, Jay didn't feel anything special; it was just like walking through a normal hallway.
On the other hand, when Jay first set foot in the ninja world, a strange feeling immediately enveloped him.
"Ummm, it smells similar to the world I live in, nothing special, it's just…" When Jay tried to absorb his chakra, he realized that the quality of the energy in the ninja world was several times richer than his home world.
"This… is several times better than my home world. It's fitting to be called a ninja world… and with such rich air… it seems natural that there are so many ninjas." Jay, who was purifying his chakra within his body, realized there was a clear difference in the air containing chakra energy in this world compared to his home world.
"System, can this portal move? And can it be seen or detected by ninja?" "Afterward, Jay wanted to know more information about the world portal, and to clear his doubts, he asked.
[The portal automatically follows the host and always remains within a 20-meter radius. In other words, within a 20-meter radius around the host, the portal is always open.
Host need not worry, no force in this world can see or sense the portal's presence, so host is safe.] The system replied.
"What about my sudden appearance?" Jay asked again.
He was afraid that his sudden appearance would surprise others, or even put him in an unsafe situation.
Moreover,Could he determine where the portal would appear when he returned to his world and wanted to return to the ninja world?
[No one will notice the host's sudden appearance, and the host can determine the location of the portal as long as the host has previously visited it, but this is limited to the host's first arrival in the ninja world.] The system replied again.
"Good... with this, I have no worries, and this can be considered a limited-scale teleportation jutsu, at a time." Jay praised the system for its settings.
"So now, let's go back and let the clones explore and gather information about the current ninja world." Jay formed the seal again, and two clones appeared.
One clone was assigned to guard the surrounding area, and the other was tasked with gathering information. As for Jay, he chose to wait there while purifying his chakra.
It would be a shame if he didn't take this opportunity to purify his chakra with the abundant resources available. Jay felt he would soon be able to improve his skills and become a jounin.
It took quite a while, at least four hours, before the clone Jay sent to investigate the current situation in the ninja world returned to him.
From the clone's description, Jay discovered that they were currently on the border between the Sand and Fire Lands, and that the exact location was in a remote area.
As for the rest, the clone only mentioned that Konoha was currently led by the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.
With this information, Jay immediately knew what time he had appeared, coupled with the fact that Ameno had just completed the Chunin Exams when she came to his world.
Jay could now estimate the exact time of his appearance. "Isn't this after the Chunin episode in Sunagakure Village in Naruto episode 395 and above?" Jay thought, guessing from the storyline.
"Okay, so let's go back and tell Ameno about our findings. I need to prepare for the rest." Jay then re-entered the portal and returned to his original world.
What Jay didn't know was that a few minutes after he returned through the portal, a ninja with long white hair, wearing red clothes and clogs, appeared where Jay had been.
"Ehhh... strange... where did that massive Chakra absorption fluctuation from earlier go?! Shouldn't it be here... how strange!" The figure was still observing the spot where Jay had originally been.
