Chapter 3: CHAPTER - 3 - TIME-SKIP
Three Years Later
In a B-Rank Forest Area
Roar!
Roar!
Deep in the forest were the roars of a huge, wild ape, it was over three times the size of a normal ape, it had red fur all over and bulging muscles that could easily squeeze a human skull.
It had large brown eyes and its chest was huge, like it could be beaten like a drum.
Though the pressure it gave off was incredibly weak, mostly due to the number of cuts and bruises all over its body, that last roar was all it could muster before falling down, creating a small crater in the process.
In front of this Ape was a young man, he appeared to be 17 and about 5'7''. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a short collar and a pair of blue shorts, though the shorts were torn up at the ends and the right side of his shirt is missing.
He had short, black hair with the left side slightly covering his left eye and weighed around 141 pounds. On his right arm is a single arm guard with his right leg holding a pouch for kunai and shuriken. On the right side of the youth was a larger than average chokutō with a black scabbard and matching hilt.
Though the most easy to notice feature were his eyes, his eyes were as scarlet, or more closely the color of blood, inside each eye, there were three tomoe.
The young man was obviously Haru Uchiha, after three years of training he had finally reached Jōnin class, when he had mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu, he had been able to learn over a hundred ninjutsu, taijutsu, and dozens of genjutsu. Though which ones specifically will have to wait for another time…
He had grown taller and he had developed a lot more muscle compared to three years ago, if you were to compare the two, there would be a huge difference, most likely because his body was slowly altered by his training for the past couple of years.

"Finally, it's over" as Haru heard the system's announcement,, he sat down on the ground in relief, up till now he had been fighting in that monkey for half a day, and the sun was now beginning to set past the mountains surrounding this jungle.
Haru has been in this jungle for the last six months, fighting against the various beasts that appeared ranging from 15 meter long snakes, 10 meter tall tigers, and various man eating plants, he could have set the entire forest on fire but that would have only given him system points and not any actual combat experience.
He also had experience fighting humanoid monsters in a previous C-rank and B-rank area. His style of training was to stay in one area, eliminate all the beasts, get the bonus missions the system provided, return, repeat.
Though the amount of system points varied between each zone:
D & C-Rank areas gave between 100-1,000 system points
B-& A Ranks gave most likely 1,000- 10,000 system points
S & SS-Rank areas most likely between 10,000- 100,000 points
Though given that he had only gone up to B-Rank areas so far he couldn't be sure, after all, training here when he could leave at any time would only get him so far.
"I think it's about time I go and see what this new world has in store for me" as he asked the System to leave, after a minute he disappeared from his spot.
Haru's Cabin
Noon
"It's been a while, can't say I haven't grown attached to this place" as he opened his eyes from the teleportation he saw the familiar cabin he had been spending the last three years in. Though he would be gone for months at a time to train in the Hunter areas, he had always come back to clean up and relax for up to a week before going on his next training session.
He thought of leaving several times before during his training, but decided to postpone it until he at least reached Jōnin Rank, to make sure he was strong enough to survive on his own.
He also didn't have any proper documents or something of the sort, after all this was a different world than his old one, so there could be some issues regarding his identity.
So if he had problems with the authorities he had to make sure he could flee from them without an issue.
As he walked towards the cabin he noticed something odd.
The dust in the cabin should have returned since he was gone for half a year.
Instead it was spotless, someone had clearly taken the time to give the place a thorough cleaning.
Also that it was done recently, just a few days ago.
Haru immediately broke into a run, as he ran inside and opened the door.
"Hello, anyone here" he called several times but received no response.
As he walked inside and took a peek, he saw on the table what appeared to be a letter, and a… map?
Making sure there was nothing out of ordinary, he reached out for the letter with caution.
Nothing happened, and nothing he could see with his Sharingan indicated there were any traps set.
As he opened it he could tell it was written in Japanese, though since he had already learned it thanks to his Sharingan and the prop books " Make Out Tactics ;) " provided by the System it was no issue, as he began to read…
Hello Haru,
Yes
I know who you are, though where you came from is another matter.
I've been watching you for quite a while...
Haru's eyes popped opened in shock, someone had been spying on him and he didn't even realize.
I know you must be very surprised, but I have no intention of harming you, you could say I was more curious than cautious
"Sounds like you're underestimating me is more like it" thought Haru in response before continuing.
If possible I would like to meet you in person one day, though I doubt you'll be staying there any longer after reading this letter.
"He's got that right" agreed Haru as he thought about packing everything and leaving tonight.
I could tell immediately that you didn't know where you are, so I left a map for you that will lead you out of this forest and to the nearest town, whether you follow it or burn it is completely up to you.
As Haru glanced at the map he couldn't help but feel grateful to the stranger, though he sounds like a complete weirdo if all he's been doing is watching him the whole time.
However, if you do decide to pay me a visit, I've marked the location on your map. Though you have been staying at my cabin for quite a while, so I hope the least you can do is consider my offer with all sincerity.
"Ugh, okay, you got me there" as Haru groaned in pain as he was hit in a sore spot. He had been practically freeloading at this cabin for years, though he was gone for months at a time he still felt bad about it.
Regardless, I sincerely hope to meet you one day in person.
O.S.
As he put down the letter he could feel that this stranger didn't sound like he was pissed about him using his cabin, though it made him wonder why he would allow a total stranger to stay there for so long.
"Either this guy is just a really nice guy with an easygoing personality, or a complete weirdo?" was the conclusion Haru came to.
"Luckily I spent most of my time perfecting myself in those areas, so I doubt he knows too much about my abilities, especially my progress in the last six months" Haru thought in relief.
As Haru weighed out his options, he still thought it would be best to go and meet this person to at least thank him.
"Worse case scenario I'll just run, besides, I've already died once, so what's there to fear?" as Haru walked over to the map and unfolded it.
As he saw it he immediately recognized it as a general map of Japan, so it would seem that this is another world with pretty similar geography to his old one, or is just an alternate version of Earth, though he does not have enough information at the moment to confirm which it is.
At least knowing that it's Earth gave him some relief, since it felt like he actually left as it brought a small smile to his face.
"Now then he said he marked it, where is it?… WHAT?" as he was looking over the map he eventually spotted the area circled by the mysterious individual.
It was of course in a city, though that wasn't the issue.
It was the name of it that caused him to scream in shock, because Haru recognized it before.
