Madara reflects his Rinne Sharingan on the red moon to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi. This light halts the battle between Tobi and the Allied Shinobi Forces, ensnaring nearly everyone in an irresistible genjutsu. Team 7 remains shielded by Sasuke's Susanoo, alongside Black Zetsu and the reincarnated Hokages. On the battlefield, shinobi are captured by Shinju roots despite Hiruzen's efforts. Hiruzen fails to prevent Yamato from falling into the illusion, where Yamato dreams of leading Team 7. Tobi releases his traumatized host. Meanwhile, Minito awakens in Konohagakure to see citizens trapped by the roots. This event occurs within the Birth of the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki arc, specifically episode 25 of 30.
