Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: “The Gate Within Enlightenment!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Roy and the World Will version of Uchiha Roy discover that several people cultivating sage techniques have entered an unusual state of enlightenment.
• Roy summons Xi to ask whether she knows the cause. Xi explains that such enlightenment should be impossible unless the World Will has opened access to the world’s deeper permissions.
• The World Will admits that it opened those permissions to help everyone master sage techniques faster, unaware that doing so would trigger the dangerous enlightenment state.
• Xi advises the World Will to close the permissions. She also recommends recording what the enlightened cultivators experienced, since their visions may contain valuable information.
• The World Will shuts down the access permissions, causing most of the cultivators to awaken, though they remain confused and dazed.
• Roy questions Uzumaki Chu and learns that the cultivators’ consciousnesses had entered a chaotic void containing:
  • An ancient, mysterious gate
  • A vast starry sky
  • Numerous worlds containing living beings
• None of the cultivators could approach or interact with the gate, but it left the strongest impression on all of them.

• Rather than requesting official village support, Roy decides to use the mission as a training opportunity and plans to bring several young talents: Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, and Neji, along with other children.
• Kakashi is uneasy because Roy has selected the heirs and important descendants of several major clans, meaning their parents and clans must approve the mission.
