Soon, the group filed into the genjutsu passage under Shinji's lead.
The passage's magnificent scenery left those who had never been there in awe. They could hardly believe that the Shinobi World concealed such a secret route to the moon.
Shinji had no time for wonder. Leading the group with practiced ease, he passed through one genjutsu trap after another and stopped before the sealing barrier activated by the Giant Tenseigan.
Once again, Shinji found himself helpless against the barrier.
He could certainly break through it by force with his current strength. But if he did, the Otsutsuki Branch Family on the moon would notice at once. Their surprise attack would become a siege, greatly increasing the number of unknowns.
"My lord, let me handle this!"
Karin stepped forward of her own accord.
The safest and easiest way to counter the sealing barrier was with a Sealing Technique. They had used this same method to sneak onto the moon before, and it had never failed.
"Mm."
Shinji nodded lightly and stepped aside.
Standing before the sealing barrier, which stretched out like a thin curtain, Karin closed her eyes and sensed it. After confirming that it was unchanged, she unleashed the Uzumaki Clan's prized Sealing Technique, Adamantine Sealing Chains.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Once everyone had passed through, Karin leaped through the gap as well, then released Adamantine Sealing Chains.
