'''Tsukuyomi''' is noted to be one of the most powerful [[genjutsu]] in existence.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 389, page 1</ref> It is unique to the [[Uchiha clan]] and  only those who have awakened the [[Mangekyō Sharingan]] can perform it. It is said to represent the {{translation|"Spiritual World and Darkness"|精神界と闇|Seishinkai to Yami}}, the antipode to [[Amaterasu]] — a ninjutsu of similar power.<ref name="d2"/>

Tsukuyomi requires eye contact to be performed, trapping the target within an illusion completely under the user's control. Itachi's prowess with the technique has allowed him to alter the perception of time with ease within the genjutsu to make a few seconds seem like many days as a means to torture the target. This results in the victim suffering psychological trauma that incapacitates them for a considerable period of time. After Itachi used it on Kakashi in Part I, Kisame was surprised that Kakashi's mind was still intact. Only [[Tsunade]] has been shown capable of curing this psychological damage.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 172, pages 15, 18</ref>

In the anime during Part I, Itachi's use of Tsukuyomi typically featured a red moon casting a red light throughout the illusion with a cloudy atmosphere, giving the background a blood-red appearance while the victim within the illusion is in depicted in an inverted grey scale.

Such a powerful technique is not without its disadvantages however. Due to the complexity of the illusion and the quickness with which it is executed, an enormous amount of chakra is necessary and an added amount of stress is placed on the left eye, leaving Itachi's vision more blurred. Before using it on Kakashi in Part I, Itachi stated that Tsukuyomi can only be broken by a Sharingan user that shares the same blood as him; as demonstrated when Sasuke overcame Itachi's Tsukuyomi in their battle.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 388, page 14</ref> Sasuke can also perform Tsukuyomi with his right eye, though his illusion is considered inferior to Itachi's Tsukuyomi since it does not alter the opponent's perception of time indicating he has yet to master it.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 478, page 3</ref>

The [[Eye of the Moon Plan]] involves becoming the [[Ten-Tails]]' [[jinchūriki]] and using its power to reflect their [[Mangekyō Sharingan]] on the moon, which allows them to cast an {{translation|"Infinite Tsukuyomi"|無限月読|Mugen Tsukuyomi}} throughout the entire world, effectively letting them conquer it.

== Influence ==
Pulling from the ancient Japanese myth of [[Wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]], [[Wikipedia:Tsukuyomi|Tsukuyomi]], and [[Wikipedia:Susanoo|Susanoo]], where when [[Wikipedia:Izanagi|Izanagi]] washed his face after escaping the underworld his right eye became Tsukuyomi, the Moon god.

== Trivia ==
* In ''[[Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm]]'', Itachi uses Tsukuyomi in a different manner. He has the red moon crush the opponent while the image of the moon warps into a copy of his Mangekyō Sharingan eye.
* In ''[[Naruto 6: Road to Ninja]]'', Tobi casts a trial version of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the {{translation|"Limited Tsukuyomi"|限定月読|Gentei Tsukuyomi}}, on Naruto and Sakura, which provides the [[Genjutsu World|alternate reality setting]] of the movie.
