Infinite Tsukuyomi

The is a technique which is the key to Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan.

Description
By establishing eye contact with only a standard Sharingan, the user can create an empty dimension under their control, which can be then filled with contents of his or her desire, using the power of the Shinju to do so. While physically tethered and connected to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Madara can manipulate the otherwise blank and white world to create anything he wants, no matter how detailed. By doing this he can create a world exactly as he wishes.

To utilise this genjutsu onto every living being in the entire world, however, the Shinju's eye must be reflected off of the moon's surface. In order to do this, with the exception of Kaguya who ate the Shinju's chakra fruit, one must first become its jinchūriki. The genjutsu can be cast using the eye that blooms at the top of the Shinju's original form or the third eye which opens on the jinchūriki's forehead when they approach the moon while having the power of the Rinnegan.

Upon casting, the light from the moon's eye illuminates the entire planet, turning it bright as day and making it impossible to escape. Every living thing is bathed in its penetrating light and are immediately placed under the genjutsu. This causes the Rinnegan to reflect in their eyes and are rendered immobile though their cognitive abilities remain unimpaired. The user can then use the God: Nativity of a World of Trees technique to ensnare the target, assimilating their life force with that of the Shinju. Once this is done, the person is locked in a permanent genjutsu yet will live forever due to the Shinju's power.

Countering
Despite it being the greatest genjutsu in existence, the Infinite Tsukuyomi has a couple of flaws and ways to counter it.
 * The user's Rinnegan only reflects off the moon for a limited period of time after it has been cast, allowing those who avoid its light to avoid being trapped within the genjutsu. Sasuke Uchiha was able to use his Susanoo to shield himself and his former team.
 * Reincarnated shinobi are not affected by this technique, nor are the Black Zetsu and Guruguru.
 * If the genjutsu is cast by the Rinnegan, it can only be countered by another Rinnegan.

Limited Tsukuyomi
In Naruto 6: Road to Ninja, Obito casts a trial version of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the, on Naruto and Sakura, which provides the alternate reality setting of the movie. Instead of casting it off of the moon, he instead used a crystal ball to serve as a medium to cast and host the alternate world.

Trivia

 * In Naruto 6: Road to Ninja, when Obito uses the Limited Tsukuyomi and the reflected eye of the Ten-Tails appears, it has seven tomoe, representing the number of tailed beasts Akatsuki had captured at that time.
