Chapter Summaries

Yuan investigated the Star Hidden Village’s meteorite and discovered that its Mysterious Peacock Method concealed a dangerous connection to Otsutsuki power. After the meteorite drained the Third Star Shadow, Yuan traced it to Otsutsuki Urashiki, who sensed an ominous disturbance elsewhere.

• Yuan reviewed Gū’s memories of Shibai, stripped Gū of its defensive divine art, and decided to seek out other ancient inheritances.
• The Third Star Shadow secretly trained local farmers in the Mysterious Peacock Method, intending to harvest their cultivation and use Star Hidden Village to challenge Konoha.
• Yuan arrived at the meteorite site, pretended to be a traveling scholar, and accepted the Third Star Shadow’s offer to learn the method.
• Yuan mastered the Mysterious Peacock Method immediately, but the Third Star Shadow’s usual ability to steal a cultivator’s attainments failed to activate.
• The meteorite unleashed a powerful suction that reduced the Third Star Shadow to a husk and destabilized Yuan’s chakra, flesh, and blood.
• Yuan traced the meteorite’s origins to the Otsutsuki Clan and saw Urashiki in its fragmented images, while Urashiki felt an unexplained headache in another dimension.

Yuan gained a new ability to manifest imagined forms from the meteorite, while Isshiki discovered that Shibai’s corpse had become impossible to study and tried to flee. Urashiki revealed that Shibai may have arranged the conflict, and Yuan returned to find the Ninja World gripped by a widespread search for Shibai’s corpse.

• Yuan examined the meteorite in Bear Country, absorbed its power, and used it to create objects and a lifeless golden snub-nosed monkey.
• Urashiki sensed an abnormality, decided to visit Isshiki, and considered how the new divine arts might affect the coming conflict.
• Isshiki learned that Shibai’s tissue sample appeared alive and could no longer be studied, so he prepared to leave the Ninja World.
• Urashiki appeared before Isshiki, questioned him about Shibai’s corpse, and claimed Shibai had made arrangements for their conflict after ascending to a higher dimension.
• Yuan returned to the Hidden Leaf Village and learned that rumors about Shibai’s corpse had spread, causing people across the Ninja World to search for it.
• Yuan, Hashirama, Madara, and Kaguya suspected that a divine art was influencing the entire Ninja World.

Yuan and the Hidden Leaf ninja confronted Otsutsuki Urashiki, who used Shibai’s corpse and Divine Trees to threaten the Ninja World, before sealing him and defeating the remaining Otsutsuki. Three months later, the village had transformed, and Naruto and Sasuke looked toward the future as sun- and moon-shaped marks appeared on their palms.

• A divine technique drove the people of the Ninja World into a frenzy over Otsutsuki Shibai’s corpse, so Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara moved humanity into the Kamui Dimension.
• Yuan tried to borrow Otsutsuki Kaguya’s Yin–Yang Release runes, while Urashiki revealed to Isshiki that he had secretly shaped the Ninja World’s conflicts to cultivate a Chakra Fruit.
• Yuan, Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Madara, and Kaguya joined Momoshiki and Isshiki in battle, but Urashiki revealed his omniscience and omnipotence and summoned hundreds of Divine Trees.
• A meteorite revealed itself as the returned consciousness of Urashiki, who had once been driven from his body by Shibai; Kaguya lent Yuan the Sun and Moon Runes, and Yuan sealed Shibai’s consciousness.
• Yuan caused Isshiki to die of old age and sealed Momoshiki, ending the Otsutsuki threat; three months later, Naruto and Sasuke saw the transformed village and discovered sun- and moon-shaped marks on their palms.
