Moon Eye Plan

Lore & Background

However, it is stated that Tobi, disguised as Madara Uchiha (one of Konoha's founding fathers), announces that he wants to capture all nine Tailed Beasts to cast an illusion powerful enough to control all humanity and achieve world peace. The plan required summoning the Ten-Tails, the progenitor of all chakra, and using its power to cast an infinite genjutsu upon the world. To achieve this, the Ten-Tails had to be reborn and transformed into the God Tree. Once the tree bloomed, its roots would absorb the chakra of every living being on Earth. The moon itself was to act as the lens for this projection, reflecting the illusion back onto humanity. Black Zetsu, acting as the will of Kaguya Otsutsuki manipulating history from the shadows, ensured Madara and later Obito Uchiha followed these steps precisely to revive their true master.

In Their Own Story

The source does not provide a narrative scene of the Moon Eye Plan's execution. However, it details the events leading to its climax: Tobi, disguised as Madara Uchiha, announces his plan to capture all nine Tailed Beasts to cast an illusion powerful enough to control all humanity and achieve world peace. The leaders of the five ninja villages refuse to help him and instead join forces to confront his faction and allies. That decision results in a Fourth Shinobi World War between the combined armies of the Five Great Countries which totaled up to 80,000 shinobis. It was known as the Allied Shinobi Forces. The Akatsuki's forces consisted of Reanimated shinobi and 100,000 White Zetsu clones. During the conflict, it is revealed that Tobi is Obito Uchiha. The real Madara saved Obito's life, and they have since collaborated. As Sasuke learns the history of Konoha, he decides to protect the village and rejoins Naruto and Sakura to thwart Madara and Obito's plans. However, Madara's body ends up possessed by Kaguya Otsutsuki, an ancient princess who intends to subdue all humanity. A reformed Obito sacrifices himself to help the Allies to stop her. Once Kaguya is sealed, Madara dies as well.

Reader's Guide

The Moon Eye Plan represents the philosophical climax of the Naruto series, contrasting two distinct visions of peace. Tobi, disguised as Madara Uchiha, announces that he wants to capture all nine Tailed Beasts to cast an illusion powerful enough to control all humanity and achieve world peace. The plan required specific, monumental steps: reviving the Ten-Tails, becoming its Jinchuriki, and casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Black Zetsu, revealed later as Kaguya's will incarnate, manipulated Madara and Obito for centuries to ensure these conditions were met. The execution involved capturing all nine Tailed Beasts and using them as fuel for the God Tree. Ultimately, the scheme was undone not by superior power alone, but by the bonds formed between Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Sakura Haruno. The defeat of Kaguya and the sealing of the Ten-Tails marked the end of this cycle, restoring freedom to the world.
