Mo Congfeng called on Aburame Shio who was waiting nearby, and went to visit Orochimaru's laboratory together.

The location of the laboratory is still in the base of the Root organization, but it is dug deeper than the area where Danzo Shimura is located.

Following the descending stairs, they finally arrived at the slightly secluded destination. Mo Congfeng felt a sudden chill around him and felt a little uncomfortable.

The laboratory is divided into different areas with different functions. What makes Mo Congfeng most uncomfortable is the human experiments conducted by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru claimed that these people were prisoners on the battlefield, which was a very normal behavior. "In order to study forbidden techniques, the second generation Hokage also captured many enemy ninjas for experiments. Mo, you have also learned forbidden techniques.

That’s how those powerful and magical forbidden techniques came about. We can’t enjoy the benefits that this research brings us while ignoring the rationality of its existence. This is something that only ordinary people would be troubled by!”

Mo Congfeng did not comment on this, but turned around and looked at Aburame Shio beside him, and found that his expression was also relatively normal. This kind of thing might really be normal and acceptable for a ninja.

However, Mo Congfeng hated this kind of behavior in his heart and agreed with Captain Qi Mu's point of view a little more.

At the same time, Mo Congfeng had deep doubts about the identities of the subjects of these human experiments. He had experienced the battle between the River Country and the Sand Village Ninja, and the battle between the southeastern part of the Fire Country and the Mist Village Ninja, but he had not seen many ninja prisoners.

Mo Congfeng had reason to believe that among these experimental subjects, a considerable number should be civilians from other countries, and most of them were probably from small countries that served as buffer zones around the Fire Nation.

In such a Ninja World War, these small countries that served as buffer zones were severely humiliated. The people of these small countries did something wrong and had to suffer the pain inflicted by these powerful countries.

These powerful countries have no intention of annexing or accepting them. Also, if these small countries disappeared, these powerful countries would have no targets to bully at will, and wars between powerful countries would easily harm their own interests.

These powerful countries have no responsibility as great powers and are unwilling to bear the cost of their ambitions, which has led to the current situation. The five-kage-level village of Konoha talking about the pain of war may be so ridiculous and absurd in the eyes of the people of the Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers. It is precisely because they do not understand the real pain of war that wars happen again and again.

This is also the reason why Mo Congfeng chose Shimura Danzo's active defense strategy. The struggle between major powers should be a direct contest between major powers. The invasion of the Kirigakure Ninja into the southeastern part of the Land of Fire really hurt Konoha.

Mo Congfeng put aside these fantasies and looked at Orochimaru squarely, "So, Senior Orochimaru, what is your purpose in inviting me here?"

Orochimaru smiled slightly, "I hope you can cooperate with me in my research on the secrets of life!"

When Mo Congfeng heard this, he felt his body tense up and instinctively wanted to resist, "Why me?"

Orochimaru did not answer directly, "Why do ninjas, who obviously possess greater power, often fail to live longer? I have a guess about this."

Mo Congfeng remembered that when he first met Danzo Shimura, he had mentioned that Orochimaru was quite knowledgeable about this, so he didn't say much and just listened to what Orochimaru had to say.

Orochimaru continued, "It's chakra. Chakra affects everything."

Aburame Shio asked in surprise, "Is chakra harmful to ninjas? This is hard to believe."

Orochimaru chuckled, "Of course not, chakra is not harmful to ninjas, but the process of refining chakra is harmful to the ninja's body!

The rapid growth of a ninja's chakra is usually during childhood to adolescence, which will actually overdraw the ninja's body to a certain extent and greatly shorten the ninja's lifespan. "

Mo Congfeng was slightly surprised. He had been reminded many times that his chakra amount had increased abnormally. Could it be that this increase would seriously damage his health?

"Is there any evidence to prove it?" Mo Congfeng couldn't help but ask.

"There is a proof. I discovered a long time ago that students in ninja schools tend to mature much earlier than ordinary children outside, and children of the ninja tribe mature much earlier than civilian ninja children.

What caused all this? It was the refinement of chakra. The children in the ninja school had more chakra refinement than the ordinary children outside, and the children of the ninja clan refined chakra earlier than the children of civilian origin. This behavior accelerated the growth of ninjas, but it would not be without cost.

From a cellular level, the ninja's chakra refinement accelerates the number of cell divisions, which is why the increase in the ninja's chakra amount occurs in childhood to adolescence!

Because children to adolescence are growing up, their cell numbers increase rapidly. When they become adults, the number of cells basically does not change, and there is only the renewal of the cells themselves.

However, the total number of cell divisions is limited, and the act of refining chakra during childhood is equivalent to losing part of your lifespan!

Of course, the use of medical ninjutsu also has the effect of accelerating cell division.

This is one of the reasons why ninjas tend to have shorter lifespans."

Mo Congfeng didn't quite understand the meaning of cells, but he judged from Orochimaru's words that cells are a component unit of the human body, and understood Orochimaru's general meaning.

"But Senior Orochimaru, what can I do to cooperate with you?" Mo Congfeng still didn't understand Orochimaru's intention.

Orochimaru replied calmly, "The laws of things are often not immutable, and the same is true for my conjecture. I found an exception.

That is the ninja who possesses five chakra attributes at the same time, which seems to be no longer included. For example, my master, the Third Hokage, is a genius ninja who possesses five chakra attributes at the same time. I observed that his physical condition was extremely active, and his strength had been steadily increasing, without any signs of aging that he should have at his age.

The four people who are basically the same age as him, Lord Danzo Shimura, Mito Kado En, Utane Koharu, and Akimichi Torikaze, have all shown varying degrees of aging.

I looked up the ninjas in history who had the five chakra attributes, and found that they were all outliers of their time and lived exceptionally well.

Therefore, I have another guess, that is balance. Ninjas with five chakra attributes can achieve a balance, which can greatly slow down the aging process.

But there are too few such ninjas. Conventional ninjas generally have two chakra attributes. After later training, they can learn and master more chakra attributes. However, the chakra attributes mastered later are completely different from the attributes produced by the initial chakra extraction, and their attribute conversion speeds are completely different.

Therefore, the more types of attributes produced by the initial chakra refinement, the higher his ninja talent.

And you are such a talented ninja who possesses five chakra attributes at the same time. One day in the future, you may be able to become as strong as the Third Hokage, and my research needs the cooperation of ninjas like you!"
