"You can ask her directly," Jay replied helplessly. He hadn't expected his life to change so suddenly.
He initially thought he would slowly stabilize his current life, and with the help of the system and cheats he had, he would surely improve.
But fate had other plans. Jay was then faced with something he never imagined.
He met Ameno, a variable he had never considered before, although he suspected that the world he was currently in was unusual.
But that didn't mean that explained the connection between his current world and the ninja world, and with that fact, Jay felt that there might be another world that might be connected to his current one. After all, all possibilities couldn't be ruled out at this point.
He had met someone from Naruto's ninja world, Ameno.
Furthermore, it seemed he would marry Ameno, a fact that, in this era, the marriage threshold was essentially lower than it would be in the future.
Currently, Jay, who is 15 years old and will be turning 16 in a few months, is considered mature enough and ready to start a family.
This is based on Jay's ability to work and provide for his family's needs.
Similarly, women are considered mature enough to help with household chores and farming.
They will be married off soon, and there's no need to think about going to school or pursuing higher education.
Because, fundamentally, the current era, especially in the country where Jay lives, is one where underdevelopment persists.
"Okay, I'll ask Ameno directly," the mother replied and left the room.
Ameno, who had been left in the living room, with her ninja abilities, could clearly hear everything Jay and his family were saying.
So when she saw Jay's mother come out, she wasn't surprised; she just became friendlier. "Ameno," Jay's mother greeted her kindly.
Now Jay's mother was looking at Ameno like a daughter-in-law for her son.
Being stared at with such eyes, Ameno was a little embarrassed, but she also knew that this was her destiny.
In this unfamiliar world, everything felt new and strange, yet as a ninja, she had adjusted quite quickly and well.
"What's wrong, Auntie?" Ameno replied shyly.
"Jay's told me everything, and Auntie, are you okay with your current situation? I just wanted to ask what you think about Jay?" Jay's mother asked.
"Auntie, I feel good about Jay and think he's a quite capable young man," Ameno replied.
"So, you agree to marry my son?" Jay's mother asked quickly.
As if afraid she wouldn't hear Ameno's answer.
"Um... I don't mind, Auntie," Ameno replied again.
"Good... then, you can marry Jay soon, but I have to apologize first.
I haven't been able to properly enjoy the wedding celebration, as it's almost time for the rice harvest.
So, no one is allowed to do anything excessive, so your and Jay's wedding can only be held in a month or two. Is that okay with you?" Jay's mother asked again.
"No, auntie, you don't need to worry. I understand your situation," Ameno replied. She knew deep down that even though she was demanding accountability from Jay, she wasn't close enough to him yet.
Only by letting time pass between them could their understanding and affection grow.
Furthermore, Ameno wasn't overly concerned about Jay's ability to force her into marriage, as his ninja skills were clearly far superior to those of ordinary humans.
Besides, she needed to integrate into the local community, and only then, as the daughter-in-law of the village, could she learn more about the situation there.
After all, without a good status, she would have difficulty doing many things.
On the other hand, this was also the last resort she had left for herself. If she truly couldn't return to Sunagakure, then she could only spend her life here with Jay and his family.
She supposed it wasn't so bad compared to living as a ninja, facing many dangers and the war that could break out in the world at any time. Ninja.
"Since you agree, from now on this is your family, and you can call me Mom," Jay's mother replied enthusiastically.
Taking a step She thought Jay would bring a good daughter-in-law to her current family.
From her conversation with Ameno, Jay's mother could clearly see Ameno's physical appearance.
Her skin was smoother than most village women's, though a little dry, but it still looked healthy.
On the other hand, her body was also quite well-proportioned for a woman, and well-developed in the right places. Especially when she saw Ameno's breast size, Jay's mother was happy because she wouldn't have to worry about feeding her future grandchild.
"Okay, Mom..." Ameno still replied shyly.
She truly never expected to find a new family so soon in a world she didn't know.
In her home world, her family didn't exist, and she lived alone. With the help of the village, she was able to provide for her needs.
But on the other hand, she desperately longed for a complete family, and now that she had it, Ameno felt quite happy (it wasn't clearly explained in Naruto about Ameno's family, so the author just made it up to fit the story, so please understand).
Shortly after, Jay and his father left the room. When Jay saw his mother getting along well with Ameno, he felt relieved.
"Jay, come here quickly. Ameno said she agrees. You can meet your grandfather tonight, and we'll talk about it as a family tomorrow," his mother said, making plans.
"Ahhh... is it that soon, Mom??" Jay asked, confused.
"Of course, are you stupid! The sooner the better, and it's good for Ameno!!" His mother replied angrily.
"Jay, what your mother said is right. The sooner the better, because Ameno already looks quite mature," his father replied.
"Ah... speaking of which, I forgot to ask, how old are you, Ameno?" Jay's mother asked immediately.
"I'm 17, Mom," Ameno replied embarrassedly.
"Good... that's better. You're a year older than Jay, and everything will be better, so Mom won't have to worry so much," Jay's mother replied, feeling relieved.
Although early marriage is still permitted, for some reason, society also knows that marrying young is clearly not a good idea. Therefore, in this case, the expected age for women and men to marry is around 15-18 in rural areas.
In urban areas, the figure may be higher, around 17-20.
The new government has not yet issued a marriage age regulation, so they are still referring to the previous government's regulations.
The marriageable age is around 14-15 years and above.
