Some people here give too much credit to the words of fallible characters who base their knowledge on legends and folklore, most of which we know was altered by Black Zetsu. Sasuke Uchiha stated that it was a Rinnegan's genjutsu, and Hagoromo said it can be deactivated with a Rinnegan and the chakra of the nine TB.
 * Sasuke doesn't know shit. He's a 17(?) year old making an educated guess at best.
 * Hagoromo said he hypothesized that is how it could be deactivated. He had no proof as he was never able to do it himself.
