"Very well. My main body truly did you a disservice in this matter. I will give you a compensation on his behalf."
Kumotsuru Kajin waved his hand, and the entire space collapsed with a roar. All the houses, cloud mist, cranes, and pine trees vanished, leaving behind only a void of darkness. In his hand, a hollowed-out white jade ring slowly appeared. The ring had nine grooves on it, and simply looking at it made it seem exquisite, like a fine piece of craftsmanship.
"Mhm... this is a magical artifact from the Immortal Cultivation Realm that can fuse nine types of energy together, allowing the owner of the artifact to instantly gain powerful energy!" The Ancestor then handed the ring to Torifu. "This is not considered a rarity in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but it is sufficient as compensation for you. In a lesser world like this, other things would not be usable anyway."
After receiving it, Torifu thanked him repeatedly. This item was certainly useful to him, even if he didn't know how yet. No matter what, he would eventually find a use for it.
"Then this junior thanks the Ancestor very much." Torifu showed a sincere smile.
Seeing this, Kumotsuru Kajin simply waved his hand. "Boy, keep up the hard work. As the only person from the Kumotsuru Clan who could awaken me in a thousand years, I have high hopes for you." Following that, his figure transformed into a wisp of cloud mist and vanished into the pitch-black void.
At the same time, Torifu's consciousness returned to his main body. He came to his senses and found himself standing foolishly beside the altar.
"The white jade ring is still in my hand. That wasn't just my imagination; it was the real Ancestor."
The experience he just had was quite dramatic and full of twists, but fortunately, Torifu had never had any intention of going to the Immortal Cultivation Realm or any other higher world. His goal remained a single one: to live a safe and peaceful life in this world, surrounded by his wife and children. Taking care of every member of his family and protecting every villager in Konoha. That was enough. As for adventuring in other worlds and fighting bosses, he would leave that to other transmigrators.
He would obediently stay in the Ninja World. However, if a day came when all his family and friends had passed away, perhaps he would try to enter this teleportation gate. But at least for the next few hundred years, that was impossible. Even if he had to squeeze the Life Fruit into a juice and force-feed it to them, Torifu would make sure they all stayed alive!
"Well, I've met the Ancestor's consciousness, and I've received compensation. This trip wasn't in vain. Time to go~"
Before leaving, Torifu reached out and touched the altar. The blue light emanating from it was truly beautiful. But that slight touch caused the system, which hadn't spoken for eight hundred years, to chime in.
[Ding - Spatial fluctuations detected in the vicinity. The Positioning Gate has been activated.]
"Huh? What Positioning Gate? Activated what?"
While Torifu was utterly confused, the door frame that he hadn't used and had long been gathering dust in his spatial ring suddenly flew out on its own, hovering steadily above the altar. Once activated, the door frame, like the altar, was covered in streaks of blue light, flashing with a faint, mysterious glow. And the door frame was no longer empty. Looking closely, he could see a small vortex had appeared within the frame, twisting the space.
"What in the world is going on here?" Torifu asked, but no one replied. The system spoke again, seemingly to itself.
[Beginning world positioning - 3, 2, 1 - Positioning successful. World coordinates have been deployed.]
[Ding - Due to the host's series of positive influences on this world, the world's future has deviated onto an unpredictable trajectory. Chaos Events can no longer be issued based on the historical background of this world.]
"Huh?" The system's statement made Torifu even more confused. Did this mean his strength was too great, making the Ninja World too peaceful, so all the future plotlines couldn't happen? And so, the system forcefully positioned an unknown world to prevent itself from becoming useless?
"What the hell is this nonsense! I'm not going! I absolutely refuse to go!"
[Ding - World connection successful. The host may go personally or dispatch personnel. The Positioning Gate allows for unlimited two-way teleportation, but requires a large amount of chakra for activation.]
[Ding - The connected world is: The Original Naruto World.]
"Mhm... Connected, but not completely connected? So, after all that fuss, it turns out it's connected to the Original Naruto World."
Since this was the case, Torifu felt much more relieved. He couldn't refuse the missions of this damn system, or his Chaos Value would increase, disrupting his peaceful life. Since the world on the other side of the gate was the Naruto World, Torifu was much more at ease. Furthermore, this teleportation gate was unlimited, allowing two-way travel just by activating it with chakra. Wasn't this much more amazing than the Ancestor's single, random teleportation!
Most importantly, he could dispatch personnel to go along! This was interesting! If they were to see their counterparts in the other world, he wondered if they would be surprised or terrified.
"If you had positioned me to another world, I would truly have considered resisting you. With the Peace Points I've accumulated, the Chaos Value wouldn't be an issue even if I didn't complete the event."
"But the Original Naruto World is a different matter."
The world Torifu currently lived in had deviated from the norm since ancient times, with the Ancestor Kumotsuru Kajin almost single-handedly influencing the entire structure of the Ninja World. And Torifu's appearance, in turn, changed a series of major events from the founding of Konoha to the present day. But the world on the other side of the teleportation gate was one that had not been altered by anyone—a complete and pure Naruto World. Torifu was genuinely curious about it.
[Ding - The system has consumed a large amount of power and is about to enter a state of dormancy. Apart from the System Store and the ability to acquire Peace Points, all other functions will be shut down. Wake-up time is unknown.]
"Oh, wow? This system is going to sleep? That means I can be completely settled for a few years and won't have to worry about resolving Chaos Events myself!" This was simply wonderful for Torifu; he had dreamed of this day. And the fact that the Store function could still be used made it even better!
"I hope you sleep for four or five more years, so I can have some peace and quiet."
[T/N: Phew, dodged a bullet, for a moment i thought he might be going to the cultivation realm when he first received the gate reward.]
