Bang!
As Shishou returned, his clone dispersed instantly, and the chakra was reabsorbed. After retrieving the chakra from his clone, Shishou infused his own chakra into the Plow artifact once again, preparing for another journey through time.
This time, he intended to visit the year of his own birth. He planned to take the Plow artifact with him as well.
With Urashiki and the artifact in tow, Shishou entered the time tunnel and approached the luminous doorway representing Konoha Year 51.
Konoha Year 51 was the year Uchiha Obito attacked Konoha, causing the Nine-Tails incident. It was also the year Shishou was born.
In that year, his soul had traveled from another world and was born into the Aburame clan, becoming the cousin of Aburame Shino.
This time, he intended to observe how exactly he had crossed over into this world. If possible, he even considered finding a way to return to his previous world for a visit.
...
Konoha Year 51.
Shishou and Urashiki appeared in Konoha Village, walking directly toward Shishou's family home.
As they reached the entrance to his house, Shishou noticed a young woman in the yard, her belly slightly swollen, observing the insects around her. Beside her, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and carrying a large jar on his back was smiling as he spoke with her.
Not long after, the couple noticed Shishou and Urashiki standing nearby.
The man with the jar, Aburame Shizo—Shishou's father in this life—asked, "May I ask who you are?"
The woman, Aburame Shiyun, Shishou's mother, also looked up at Shishou, her expression dazed as if she found him strangely familiar.
"Father, Mother," Shishou murmured. He pressed his lips together and respectfully bowed to the couple.
Although his parents in this life had passed away shortly after his birth due to the Nine-Tails incident, leaving his memories of them faint, Shishou felt deep gratitude towards them.
He was immensely thankful for the second chance at life they had given him.
Seeing Shishou bow, Urashiki was startled and quickly followed suit. Although Kotoamatsukami had altered Urashiki's will, making him Shishou's servant, his behavior and way of thinking hadn't changed. Deep down, he still looked down on the inhabitants of this planet, so Shishou's act of bowing had surprised him.
Hearing Shishou's words, Aburame Shizo and Aburame Shiyun exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to make of the situation.
Without offering any further explanation, Shishou disappeared with Urashiki.
The couple looked at each other in confusion, wondering if they had just imagined the encounter. Shrugging it off, they resumed their earlier conversation, happily chatting away.
Meanwhile, Shishou, now concealed in the corner of the small yard with Urashiki, opened the nine-tomoe Rinnegan in his forehead, carefully observing his mother's belly, focusing on the unborn version of himself.
However, despite his scrutiny, he couldn't see his soul.
This indicated that his soul hadn't yet crossed over into the ninja world.
Satisfied with this information, Shishou floated up to the roof of his house, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate, quietly waiting for the day of his birth.
Urashiki joined him, sitting down as well. Seeing this, Shishou couldn't help but smirk before starting to teach Urashiki how to cultivate Sage Mode.
Overjoyed by this opportunity, Urashiki diligently practiced.
The seasons passed, with flowers blooming and withering away.
Shishou remained on the rooftop of his house for several months. During this time, he watched his mother's belly grow day by day and observed his father, Aburame Shizo, going out on missions and finding various ways to make his mother happy.
Yet, despite the passing months, Shishou still didn't see his soul descend into this world.
Meanwhile, Urashiki had successfully mastered Sage Mode and was now trying to combine Sage Techniques with his innate powers.
Shishou had to admit, Urashiki had a natural talent for Sage Techniques.
Time continued to move forward, and soon it was the day of Shishou's birth.
In Konoha Hospital, Aburame Shiyun was taken into the delivery room. Aburame Shizo sat anxiously in the hallway, waiting on a bench.
Observing his father, Shishou, who was hidden nearby with Urashiki, couldn't help but feel a bit nervous himself.
As he sensed his emotions rising, Shishou activated the nine-tomoe Rinnegan in his forehead, keenly aware of his surroundings, ready to catch the exact moment his soul would arrive.
"Wah..."
Suddenly, the cry of a newborn echoed from the delivery room.
Shishou's gaze immediately shifted upwards, piercing through the hospital ceiling and into the vastness of space.
In his sight, a faint and strange space-time node was slowly dissipating, and his soul had just emerged from this node, descending into the body of his newborn self.
Whoosh...
In an instant, Shishou appeared beside the space-time node.
As the node was about to close, Shishou retrieved the Plow artifact from his Kamui dimension and activated it.
Time Stop!
In a flash, everything around Shishou fell into silence.
Seizing the moment, Shishou created a clone and sent it into the space-time node.
As soon as Shishou's clone entered the node, it found itself standing before a bustling metropolis.
The sight of the familiar city made Shishou's clone pause in surprise.
Is this the planet from my previous life???
Boom!!!
Suddenly, thunder roared in the clear blue sky, and a bolt of purple lightning shot down, striking towards Shishou's clone with terrifying speed.
"Hm?" Shishou's clone quickly used a space-time ninjutsu to teleport to a spot beneath a nearby overpass.
However, the purple lightning passed right through the overpass and struck Shishou's clone, obliterating it into a puff of smoke.
Meanwhile, back in the ninja world, Shishou frowned as he watched the space-time node abruptly close.
"What was that purple lightning?"
"How could it destroy a clone imbued with one-tenth of my chakra in an instant? What kind of lightning could be that powerful?"
Analyzing the information relayed by his clone, Shishou furrowed his brow in thought.
Initially, he had hoped to use this opportunity to return to his original world, but he hadn't expected to be struck down by a mere lightning bolt.
Moreover, after the lightning obliterated his clone, the space-time node vanished without a trace.
