Genjutsu World

In Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie, the is an alternate, illusionary world created when Tobi, still under the guise of Madara Uchiha, casts his  on Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, with the ultimate goal of capturing the Nine-Tails. The illusion, a prototype version of Infinite Tsukuyomi, is based on Naruto's deep desire to have parents and is also influenced by Sakura's desire for freedom from parental control.

In the Genjutsu World, Naruto's father never became Hokage and his parents are still alive, while Sakura's father was the Fourth Hokage and her parents died defending the village when she was a child. This alternate Konohagakure is threatened by a mysterious S-rank criminal and missing-nin referred to as the Masked Man, revealed to be receiving guidance from the real world's Tobi, who appears as an apparation using the alias "Madara."

There are also number of flaws and contradictions in the illusion, which are described by Madara as distortions caused by the presence of the real Naruto and Sakura in the world. For example, everyone in the village knows Naruto as "Menma," the name of a ramen topping which Naruto professes to hate. Some of its inhabitants also seem to sense that something is off with their world.

After facing a variety of trials, Naruto and Sakura eventually defeat "Madara" and break free of Limited Tsukuyomi using a prophetic writing known as the, putting an end to the Genjutsu World.

Characters
The alternate reality counterparts for most of Konohagakure's shinobi have dramatically altered personalities and behaviors. Following is a list of characters and their alternate traits in the Genjutsu World, in order of appearance:


 * Hinata Hyūga - In the Genjutsu World, Hinata is sharp-tongued, domineering, and provocatively dressed. Her obsession with Menma frequently manifests in violent fits of jealousy.


 * Kiba Inuzuka - Kiba's alternate counterpart is a cat-lover, and he frequently fights with Akamaru because he smells like a cat. The tattoos on his cheek are altered with small horizontal marks to represent whiskers, and he frequently appends his speech with meowing sounds.


 * Shino Aburame - The illusion version of Shino is a horticulturalist who hates insects. As a result he carries around insecticide and frequently bathes to try and rid himself of his clan's bugs. His personality, however, remains unchanged.


 * Sasuke Uchiha - In the alternate reality, Sasuke is a smooth-talking playboy who would rather love than fight, and because his brother is recognized as a hero he never left the village. He initially flirts with Sakura and woos her by giving her a large rose, but she later learns that he treats all the girls his age the same way.


 * Chōji Akimichi - In the Genjutsu world, Chōji is serious, slim, physically fit, and the brains of the team. The tattoos on his cheeks are angular and the kanji on his chest, which reads instead of, is more rigid. He avoids going out to eat and dislikes using his clan's traditional techniques.


 * Shikamaru Nara - The alternate counterpart of Shikamaru is gluttonous and dull-witted, incapable of even performing simple calculations. His hairstyle is also different, appearing more fanned-out. His crass and moronic behavior sometimes irritates Chōji, leading to arguments.


 * Ino Yamanaka - Ino's counterpart is shy, modest, polite, and friendly. She dislikes confrontation and often tries to find ways to peacefully end disagreements between Shikamaru and Chōji.


 * Neji Hyūga - The alternate reality version of Neji is devious and creepy, and he uses his Byakugan to peep on the girls in Konoha's bathhouse.


 * Tenten - In the Genjutsu World, Tenten is clumsy with Ninja Tools but still constantly wields them, so she frequently injures herself and tears her clothing. As a result, she seems to have become skilled at first aid and sewing.


 * Rock Lee - Rock Lee is virtually identical to his real world counterpart, except that he steals and wears womens' undergarments.


 * Sai - The Genjutsu World version of Sai is a tempermental artist instead of an emotionless shinobi. He dresses in the style of an old-timey European artist but has no real artistic talent, producing paintings that look like children's drawings.


 * Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage - The alternate counterpart of Tsunade is more bookish and less vain, wearing glasses and appearing somewhat elderly, like an actual grandmother.


 * Shizune - In the Genjutsu World, Shizune remains Tsunade's aide, but their personalities and appearances are somewhat switched, as Shizune is a well-endowed lover of alchohol.


 * Tonton - Shizune's pet pig is completely black in the Genjutsu World, and also far more aggresive, seeming almost scary.


 * Kakashi Hatake - The alternate version of Kakashi is passionate, energetic, and a proponent of the "Power of Youth," causing his personality to be generally similar to the real world's Guy.


 * Might Guy - In the alternate reality of the Genjutsu World, Guy is a depressive, unenergetic, middle-aged shinobi who thinks of himself as an old man past his prime.


 * Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze - Menma's parents who never died in the Genjutsu World. They are jōnin, albeit less talented as shinobi than their real world counterparts, and they prioritize family above their duties as ninja. Though loving parents, their relationship with the rebellious Menma seems to have recently become strained, and when Naruto arrives in the village he unwittingly receives scoldings from them.


 * Jiraiya - In the Genjutsu World, Jiraiya was sent on a mission to recover the Red Moon Scroll, which holds the secret to defeat the Masked Man, however, the Masked Man ambushed and killed him on the way back to the village. He sealed the scroll in a chest which only Minato would be able to open. His personality was never revealed, but he seemed to maintain a strong bond with his pupil, Minato.


 * Gamabunta - In the alternate reality, Gamabunta and his gang of toads were tasked with protecting the Red Moon Scroll for Jiraiya, after he died. Gamabunta uses a cigarette holder instead of a pipe, and seems to have a grudge against Naruto, attacking him and the other Konohagakure kunoichi who come to recover the scroll. He and his toads vanish when Minato breaks the seal.


 * Akatsuki - In the Genjutsu World, Madara and Zetsu are not part of Akatsuki and it is a mercenary company instead of a criminal organization, hired by Tsunade to provide backup for Naruto in his battle with the Masked Man, during which Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu, Pain, and Konan pair off against the Nine Masked Beasts.


 * Menma - Naruto's Genjutsu World counterpart, and the true identity of the Masked Man. He is the true son of the alternate reality's Kushina and Minato, and Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. Under the manipulative guidance of "Madara," he became a brutal missing-nin and S-rank criminal, and donned a mask to disguise himself. He uses dark, destructive versions of Naruto's ninjutsu and has bonded with the hateful Nine-Tails, gaining the ability to mold its chakra into seperate entities and the power to completely unseal and control it. He eventually becomes possessed by Madara, transforming his right eye into a sharingan. Menma returns to his senses after Madara is defeated, becoming virtually identical in appearance and personality to Naruto and reuniting with his parents.


 * Sakura Haruno - Sakura Haruno's Genjutsu World counterpart does not appear directly in the film, instead switching places with Sakura and appearing in the real world as a living illusion, as seen in the anime tie-in episode, "Road to Sakura". In the Genjutsu World she was treated as a daughter of heroes and was respected and treated kindly by the community.


 * Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno - In the Genjutsu World, Sakura's parents were talented and famous shinobi, and her father, Kizashi, was the Fourth Hokage. They died protecting the village when she was just a child, and have gone down in history as heroes.
