## Summary [ ]

By reflecting his Rinne Sharingan on the moon , Madara activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi . The bright light interrupts the ongoing fight between Tobi and the Allied Shinobi Forces and traps every living being on the planet into the irresistible genjutsu . The only exceptions are Team 7 , protected by Sasuke 's Susanoo , and the reincarnated Hokage .

The trapped shinobi on the battlefield get caught in the bark of the roots of the God Tree one by one, despite the interventions by Hiruzen . Tobi, deeming his host not needed any more, releases a traumatised Yamato , who is approached by the Third Hokage before being trapped in the genjutsu as well. He envisions himself becoming the new leader of Team 7 and considers it the place he belongs to, unaware of it being merely a dream. Meanwhile, Minato awakes in Konohagakure , witnessing to his horror that all the citizens were caught by the roots as well.
