"You're too slow. The sun is setting. What were you doing?"

Upon Shiraishi's return, Ruri furrowed her brow and asked.

"I apologize. The medicinal ingredients I needed were quite rare. It took a while to find a place that sells them. Here, this is the natto you wanted."

Shiraishi apologized and tossed the bag of natto snacks to Ruri.

Ruri took the bag and her expression softened slightly.

"By the way, if I don't have anything else to do, I'll go back to the lab. There's still a lot of work to be done there."

Seeing Ruri still sitting there motionless, Shiraishi lifted his foot and left the room.

Having obtained Ayane's fresh body data, the remaining work can only be done by himself.

The next mission would be coming soon, and they would leave the village again within two weeks at the latest.

Konoha still had a fierce battle to fight. As one of Konoha's top elite Jonin and their Team 5 leader, Hatake Sakumo couldn't stay in the village for too long.

As for the specifics of the upcoming mission, Shiraishi couldn't deduce any useful information from the available intelligence. However, he was certain that the mission's difficulty would be at least A-level.

Upon returning to the laboratory, he opened one of the secret doors, revealing a 30-square-meter room with an emergency toilet and shower. This was where the five individuals used for human experiments usually resided.

The lights inside were always on, so when Shiraishi opened the door, he could clearly see their appearances, causing their bodies to shake unnaturally.

One person then walked out consciously in order. Although their spirits had recovered to some extent after a long rest, terrifying memories flooded their minds, and they likely knew what Shiraishi had planned for them next, causing their faces to turn pale.

Shiraishi nodded with some satisfaction. That's right.

If they cooperated willingly and didn't resist, they would receive rich and nutritious meals as a matter of course, making their lives much better than those of the wandering bloodthirsty criminals outside.

After the man walked out, Shiraishi looked at the remaining four individuals, took out two moderately thick books from his ninja bag, and tossed them in front of them.

"Read these books when you have nothing to do. Books are a valuable tool for human progress."

The four prisoners exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what Shiraishi was up to.

Shiraishi didn't explain further. The main reason was that these individuals often appeared bored, so he found two books for them to read. It would help them pass the time and greatly contribute to their mental recovery.

Shiraishi closed the secret door. When he turned around, he noticed that the man who had come out earlier was already lying on the operating table, staring at the ceiling lights with wide-open eyes.

Similar to humans, animals in nature also possessed chakra within their bodies.

To this end, Shiraishi prepared fifty guinea pigs for the "chakra depletion" experiment.

If this experiment succeeded, it would greatly aid in deciphering the caged bird curse.

Even if a perfect solution couldn't be found, it would at least provide a reasonable approach.

An hour later, the experiment involving the neutralization of natural energy and ordinary chakra had concluded for the subject.

The results of the experiment showed some improvement compared to the previous attempt. At this rate, there was a high probability that Shiraishi would discover a system of immortality suitable for human cultivation before leaving Konoha.

He disconnected the wires from the subject and allowed them to return to the room behind the secret door.

Before leaving, the subject took two books from the shelf beside them and glanced at Shiraishi, curious about his reaction.

Shiraishi simply turned a blind eye and remained silent.

The shelves contained various books, including history, geography, chemistry, and biology, but no important research materials were among them.

Learning was a vital process for enlightening human beings. With their enthusiasm for learning, Shiraishi was naturally willing to support them.

However, when the time came to be a test subject, it was important to fulfill that role.

Shiraishi looked at the guinea pig on the testing bench that had perished due to chakra depletion and shook his head.

The experiment had failed.

Although he had tried to save the lives of these mice, the results were still unsatisfactory.

Seeing that it was nearly time, Shiraishi was about to leave the laboratory when a sudden chill gripped his throat, causing his entire body to tense.

A sharp kunai was positioned just in front of Shiraishi's throat, poised to end his life with a single stroke.
