Episode Summaries

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.
