<section begin=summary />The '''Infinite Tsukuyomi''' is an extremely powerful [[genjutsu]] that traps the entire world in an illusion, enslaving the human and animal populations in a dream so that their [[chakra]] may be [[God: Nativity of a World of Trees|drawn]] upon by the [[God Tree]].<section end=summary />
The {{translation|'''Infinite Tsukuyomi'''|無限月読|Mugen Tsukuyomi}} is a technique which is the key to Madara's [[Eye of the Moon Plan]].

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, and control it. By doing this he can create a world exactly as he wants.

Once cast, the penetrating light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi shines across the world, bright enough to dispel the night for as long as it is active. All those who fall under its gaze are trapped in the genjutsu, with the [[Rinnegan]]'s design appearing in their eyes to represent its influence.

The user can also draw upon the chakra of those bound to the tree, causing it to erupt from the ground and enter their own body.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 679, pages 4-5</ref> In the anime, the technique seemed to need perfecting as Kaguya discovered in her first usage: most of those trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi such as [[Haori]] died after being trapped in the genjutsu instead of being converted into White Zetsu.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 461</ref>
To trap every human being in this [[genjutsu]], however, the Sharingan has to reflect onto the [[moon]]'s surface using the eye of the Shinju. In order to do this, (with the exception of Kaguya) one must become its jinchūriki while possessing the power of the [[Rinnegan]]. Once the Shinju's eye is ready, either by blooming at the top of its original tree form or by the third eye of its jinchūriki's forehead, it finally casts the genjutsu off the surface of the moon. Upon casting, the light from the moon's eye will illuminate the entire planet, turning it bright as day, making it impossible to escape. As a result every single person and animal is immediately placed under the genjutsu, while also possessing Rinnegan, although this might be purely cosmetic.

Certain individuals are immune to the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The dead, such as those brought back with the [[Impure World Reincarnation]], are impervious to the Infinite Tsukuyomi.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 677, page 16</ref> White Zetsu, [[Black Zetsu]], and those whose body Black Zetsu [[Body Coating|coats]] are also unaffected.<ref name="ch677pg14" /> However, a foreign soul that has taken over the body of a White Zetsu is still vulnerable to the genjutsu.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 677, page 9</ref> A Rinnegan user can block the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, saving themselves and those within their range from its control.<ref name="ch677pg14">''Naruto'' chapter 677, page 14</ref> In fact, Rinnegan users, through the combination with the chakra of the nine [[tailed beasts]], are the only ones capable of ending the Infinite Tsukuyomi and releasing those trapped within its dreams. Should these be possessed by two different people, they must form the rat [[hand seal]] together in order to release the technique.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 692, page 7</ref>
Upon capturing the victims with the genjutsu's light, the user then can use [[God: Nativity of a World of Trees]] to capture the physical bodies throughout and assimilating said persons into the Shinju. Once this is done, the person is locked in a permanent genjutsu yet will live endlessly from the Shinju's power.

This article is about the genjutsu. For other uses, see Infinite Tsukuyomi (disambiguation).

The Infinite Tsukuyomi is an extremely powerful genjutsu that traps the entire world in an illusion, enslaving the human and animal populations in a dream so that their chakra may be drawn upon by the God Tree.

Overview

Ten-Tails Rinne Sharingan

Infinite Tsukuyomi cast through the God Tree's blossoming flower.

To cast a genjutsu of this scale, the user's Rinne Sharingan must be reflected off of the moon.[2] The exact method of achieving this varies from user to user: in the anime Kaguya Ōtsutsuki uses Yomotsu Hirasaka to create a portal to a dimension containing a moon;[3] Obito Uchiha produces the Ten-Tails and transforms it into a construct of the God Tree, which has a Rinne Sharingan within the blooming flower at its top;[4] Madara Uchiha, per his Eye of the Moon Plan, flies into the sky and reflects his own Rinne Sharingan off of the moon.[5]

Once cast, the penetrating light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi shines across the world, bright enough to dispel the night for as long as it is active. All those who fall under its gaze are trapped in the genjutsu, with the Rinnegan's design appearing in their eyes to represent its influence. Victims of the Infinite Tsukuyomi are rendered immobile so long as they are under its effects, allowing them to easily be wrapped by the bark of the God Tree's roots using God: Nativity of a World of Trees.[6] Over the course of years,[7] humans connected to the tree in this manner are gradually drained of their life energy, personalities and defining features, reducing them to shells of their former selves and ultimately converting them into White Zetsu[8][9] while at the same time, producing a new Chakra Fruit in the process. The user can also draw upon the chakra of those bound to the tree, causing it to erupt from the ground and enter their own body.[10] In the anime, the technique seemed to need perfecting as Kaguya discovered in her first usage: most of those trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi such as Haori died after being trapped in the genjutsu instead of being converted into White Zetsu.[11]

Certain individuals are immune to the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The dead, such as those brought back with the Impure World Reincarnation, are impervious to the Infinite Tsukuyomi.[12] White Zetsu, Black Zetsu, and those whose body Black Zetsu coats are also unaffected.[13] However, a foreign soul that has taken over the body of a White Zetsu is still vulnerable to the genjutsu.[14] A Rinnegan user can block the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, saving themselves and those within their range from its control.[13] In fact, Rinnegan users, through the combination with the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, are the only ones capable of ending the Infinite Tsukuyomi and releasing those trapped within its dreams. Should these be possessed by two different people, they must form the rat hand seal together in order to release the technique.[15]
