The exterior of the Moon is barren, covered with craters and canyons. Apologetic, Toneri restored the Moon to its previous orbit and, despite an invitation to live on the Earth, stayed on the Moon, vowing that it would never threaten the world again. Toneri was eventually defeated by Naruto and Hamura's actual mission was afterwards explained to him by Hinata Hyūga. As the Moon began breaking up in the Earth's gravity and increasingly raining meteors upon its surface, Konohagakure sent a team to rescue Hanabi Hyūga, eventually ending up on the Moon. Two years after the war, the last surviving member of the Ōtsutsuki clan's branch family, Toneri Ōtsutsuki, began moving the Moon toward the Earth so that he could destroy it and rebuild a purer world from the ashes.

Fulfilment of much of the plan ultimately falls to Obito Uchiha upon Madara's death, though Madara is revived in time to see the plan completed during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

In order to achieve this goal, Madara came up with the Eye of the Moon Plan, wherein the Ten-Tails would be revived and its jinchūriki would cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the Moon, thereby ending all conflicts by trapping the world in a perpetual dream.

The moon reflecting the Infinite Tsukuyomi.Ĭenturies later, sometime prior to the Second Shinobi World War, Madara Uchiha summoned the Demonic Statue from the Moon with his Rinnegan, intent on using it to bring peace to the world. Over time, a civil war broke out between the main and branch families over ideologies, which drove Hamura's clan to near extinction and his message became misguided: if mankind was deemed unworthy, they were to be destroyed. Hagoromo asked Hamura to monitor mankind, a task that was passed to the rest of the Ōtsutsuki when Hamura died. After the Moon's creation, Hamura took leadership of the Ōtsutsuki clan and settled on the Moon in order to guard the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path inside. The Moon was created by Hagoromo and his brother, Hamura, when they sealed their mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, with Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei.
