"After all, there's only one portal. If you want to come, you'll have to travel a long way."
Torikaze had long since abolished the rule that only Konoha residents could use the portal.
Now, aside from Konoha residents, everyone in Torikaze's World had to submit an application before entering Another World. Once approved, they could go to Konoha Village Hospital to have a chip implanted.
With that chip, they could travel freely through Another World without worrying about the trip there and back.
