After muttering a few sentences, Urashiki still revealed the location where 'Karasuki' was hidden.
He knew that even if he gritted his teeth and refused to speak now, Shinji could extract the information through various means. Instead of suffering endlessly later, it was better to confess now.
Moreover, as an orthodox Otsutsuki, he was clearer about the taboos of traveling through space-time than Shinji. So he faintly hoped that an accident would occur when Shinji used 'Karasuki' to travel through space-time, preferably getting lost in space-time forever, giving him a chance to escape.
By now, he had learned many truths.
For example, he knew that Isshiki was long gone, and it was Shinji who used the God Tree to send a message to the starry sky. Through this space-time travel, he also learned a terrifying fact: before the 'Chakra Fruit' matured, Shinji had already become a 'Kekkei Mora' just like him.
In other words, Shinji had already consumed a 'Chakra Fruit' long ago. The 'Chakra Fruit' nurtured half a year ago was Shinji's second one.
Having figured this out, the anger in Urashiki's heart had long dissipated, replaced by deep regret!
He regretted coming to the shinobi world and provoking this monster, Shinji!
Not long after, Shinji found the Otsutsuki treasured tool 'Karasuki' hidden by Urashiki in a forest.
Infusing just a little chakra, Shinji easily activated 'Karasuki'.
After being activated, the turtle-like 'Karasuki' said respectfully to Shinji, "Noble Otsutsuki, 'Karasuki' is at your service."
Although Shinji himself didn't care, having consumed two 'Chakra Fruits', he indeed surpassed the vast majority of orthodox Otsutsuki. Within the entire Otsutsuki clan, he could be called a 'noble', a veritable high-ranking Otsutsuki.
Even Momoshiki, Urashiki, and Kinshiki, who were defeated by Shinji, although they cursed with dirty words, inwardly admitted that Shinji was an Otsutsuki who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Shinji seriously asked 'Karasuki' about space-time travel, such as what details to pay attention to, what accidents to be vigilant about, etc., patiently understanding everything in detail.
'Karasuki's' account was the same as his speculation: the past cannot be easily changed. Because slight changes in history will produce unpredictable changes in the present and future. So once history is altered without authorization, the person responsible for the act of altering history will suffer the backlash of the timeline convergence law.
This backlash is comprehensive. It will not only cause severe backlash to the responsible person's body, suppressing their strength and preventing them from exerting the strength they should have due to various reasons, but also backlash against the responsible person's fate, causing them to have bad luck and encounter various unexpected accidents.
Shinji thought to himself, "Urashiki died so miserably in the original timeline, perhaps because he was enduring this kind of backlash..."
Urashiki achieved 'Kekkei Mora' and mastered powerful dojutsu of both time and space sides. He was arrogant, thinking he could be immune to the law backlash brought by changing history, but the result cost him his life.
Leaving aside the original timeline, Shinji felt that Urashiki foolishly bumping into his muzzle after traveling through space-time in this timeline might also have the law backlash working in the dark.
In short, Urashiki sprinted down the road to death, and his death was not unjust!
After understanding the rules of space-time travel, Shinji resolutely activated 'Karasuki' and began his space-time journey.
Fearing that unexpected accidents might occur if he went back too far in history, Shinji started trying slowly from half a year, one year, three years, gradually going back upstream to the source of the river of time. During the process of retracing space-time, he did not intervene in any events. Even he himself remained in a state of 'intangibility', browsing the long river of history as an invisible and undetectable figure.
For Shinji, this was undoubtedly a very fresh experience.
Like an audience member holding popcorn in a cinema, he watched the duel between the real and fake Itachi Uchiha in the 'Kamui Dimension'.
He personally witnessed the siege of the shinobi world crowd against 'Upper Moon One'. While marveling at the strength of 'Upper Moon One' who obtained the projection of the Hegemon's power, he also sighed with emotion for those ninjas who fearlessly besieged 'Upper Moon One'.
The scene changed, and he saw, from a third-person perspective, the scene of himself fighting Nagato for the 'Ten-Tails' at the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War.
"Heh, I thought I won handsomely at the time. Looking back now, I actually made quite a few tactical errors!"
He even commented with relish.
Time continued to move forward. He saw how joyful he was when he obtained the 'Six Tomoe Rinnegan'.
Then, he relived the scene of meeting Hikari.
Then came the bits and pieces in Konoha Village.
Among them were scenes of him rebuilding the Uchiha Police Force, and the scene of him defeating Danzo and publicly executing him. But more were the daily routines of him getting along with his friends in the ninja academy.
There was the day Shinji became the top student, the center of attention in the ninja academy, finally overwhelming all other geniuses and becoming the undisputed number one among his peers.
There were also holidays at the barbecue restaurant, a group of friends sitting around the grill, chatting unscrupulously about everything under the sun and feasting.
But the most frequent scenes were of him cultivating diligently in various training grounds, sweating tirelessly!
Reviewing this past now, Shinji found that his post-transmigration self was inexplicably disciplined.
Perhaps the responsibility of the 'Lampbearer' put too much pressure on him, or perhaps it was the malice from the village's hawks represented by Danzo. In short, reviewing this history, he found that he was either cultivating hard or on the way to cultivate.
As for establishing his own 'Akatsuki Organization' by freak combination of factors and forming his own small faction, Shinji smiled knowingly now.
The river of time continued to flow forward. Shinji retraced again, arriving at that special night.
The Uchiha clan grounds after nightfall were quiet and warm. The lights shining from every household made the entire clan grounds not dark.
Shinji in the 'intangible' state strolled through it, seeing another Shinji, the original owner of this body before his transmigration!
The seven-year-old child didn't know about the impending disaster. He greeted the neighbors as usual, then returned home holding a food box.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, a scream came from outside!
The seven-year-old original owner stood up abruptly, ignoring the rice grains left at the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly came to the street of the clan grounds.
At this time, screams and wails rose and fell in the clan grounds. The seven-year-old original owner looked around with a bewildered face, his young soul seemingly suffering a violent impact!
