"Oh, Teacher Jiraiya, you're back. I was just about to send someone to find you."
"Find me? Did something happen?"
Minato Namikaze smiled and waved a hand. "No. It's just that we need to get your identity information set up. Once that's done, you'll be able to go to the Otherworld. It's a distinction made to prevent the ninja from the two villages from getting mixed up with each other."
Jiraiya thought it over and could understand the reason for doing that. "All right, then let's go. I'll see what this identity information is all about."
About half an hour later, Jiraiya held the little card in his hand and touched his wrist again.
"That's it? One card and a little iron piece?"
Minato Namikaze laughed. "That's right, it's already done. Don't underestimate that little iron piece. Without it, you wouldn't even be able to enter the Portal."
Jiraiya did not quite believe it. Just that one little iron piece could keep him outside the Portal?
That sounded a bit too fantastical, but he had no way to prove otherwise now, because the Chip had already been implanted into his arm.
"Teacher Jiraiya, Nagato will also be going to the Other World this time. He mainly plans to purchase a batch of fish fry. When the time comes, the two of you can travel together."
Hearing that, Jiraiya naturally nodded again and again. "Great. I was just worrying about how I'd go alone. If someone's coming with me, that'll make things much easier, of course."
"Mm, that was what I thought too. Now that the two worlds are practically inseparable, there's no need for you to be overly cautious once you get over there. Just relax."
Minato Namikaze's reminder also helped Jiraiya relax a little.
"Oh, right, one more thing.
