Right now I don't remember the exact course of Deception konquest, but I think Shujinko isn't much older than the rest (psychically), or maybe he's even around the same age, more or less (given original timeline and considering that most of the events before MK1 in alternative timeline didn't change).
And why is that?
Because so far he is the one known mortal foreigner who has been to Chaosrealm and during Deception konquest it was revealed that Shujinko started to age faster than normally because of the Chaosrealm nature.
That would make the whole Deception konquest canon (which it really is, despite some inconsistencies) and explain the meeting between young Shujinko and Kenshi, and then Shujinko looking old, but Kenshi still looking around the same age.
I watched a playthrough of Konquest on YouTube earlier this month to get pumped for MKX (also watched MK9 story mode over again) and they never actually say this. In fact, Damashi and the narrator keep saying "many years" have passed between Shujinko's age-ups. Now, Damashi could be lying, of course. But the narrator?
