Infinite Tsukuyomi 無限月読
Pronounced mu·gen tsu·ku·yo·mi
Take Tsukuyomi and put 無限 — mugen, "infinite," without limit — in front of it. In Japan, mugen is also everyday slang for anything that never seems to end. So a Japanese reader sees the characters 無限月読 and reads it instantly: the ultimate, endless version of Tsukuyomi. In Jin no Sho it is described as the all-surveying eye of a god — the moon itself becomes a Rinne Sharingan, casting genjutsu over all humankind.
