Faced with Otsutsuki Toneri's question, Karin, half-crouched on the ground and gasping for breath, casually plucked a vivid red spider lily beside her feet and said in a deep voice, "This is the River of the Dead—the Sanzu River!"
The "space-time ocular technique" Karin had awakened not long ago was none other than the "Sanzu River" ocular technique once used by Danzo's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
However, as the ultimate ocular technique of these Rinnegan, Karin's "Sanzu River" was somewhat different from the "Sanzu River" Danzo had used in the days of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Danzo's ocular technique summoned and controlled a stretch of the Sanzu River, bringing it into the Ninja World to aid him in battle.
Karin's ocular technique, meanwhile, was a "space-time ocular technique" of an even higher level. It could directly open a passage between the true Sanzu River and the Ninja World, allowing her to travel between them.
Shion, standing nearby, showed no fear either. With her hands on her hips, she coldly stared at Otsutsuki Toneri. "You want to interfere with my lord's ritual? Hmph, kill us first!"
Otsutsuki Toneri frowned and slowly swept his gaze around.
The withered, lifeless surroundings, the thin mist saturated with deathly energy, and the endless bloodlike river carrying countless drifting souls—those alone had already given him a vague idea of where he was. After hearing Karin call this place the "Sanzu River," the last trace of luck in his heart was completely crushed.
"The River of the Dead..."

This was not something
