The Deception and the Truth

The light of Infinite Tsukuyomi lasted only a few minutes before gradually fading.

Even Six Paths Nagato couldn't sustain the energy needed to illuminate the entire planet for long.

That was an eternal power only stars possessed!

A dimension even the Otsutsuki could barely reach...

"Sir, I've done it!"

"How does it feel?"

"It took a lot out of me. My ocular power has been drained by more than half."

Using Infinite Tsukuyomi to illuminate the entire planet consumed an utterly terrifying amount of energy.

Six Paths Nagato answered honestly. If he only needed to control the Genjutsu worlds of a small number of specific targets, he could manage it.

Like the Tsukuyomi Genjutsu Itachi had cast.

But controlling the dream worlds of hundreds of millions of targets with precision all at once...

Not even Nagato could do that. It was hard
