Red Nara

- It's done, boss, you can open it," the doppelganger said, and I opened my eyes, blinking away the tears in the left one.

I grinned, wincing at the fairly decent chakra drain, even for an Uzumaki with a transplanted sharingan-at least now I could see why Kakashi looked more like a wrung-out rag after every serious use of the dojutsu.

But you have to admit, even the activated first tome of the sharingan is different from the normal eye like heaven and earth. Everything is much clearer, more shades of colors are distinguished, all small details become visible as on the palm of your hand and even there are hints of chakra movement inside the clone. Well, the amount of information from the improved organ of vision is impressive. And what's in store for the next levels?

No wonder the Uchiha are so proud of their eyes. But the chakra of a non-native user is consumed by this thing. Trying to gently weaken the current through the chakro channels to the eye, I was defeated. Okay, let's try something a little different. Using all the control I had, I simply cut off the flow of chakra into the sharingan.

- Gah!

- Boss?!

As I crouched down, I reflexively pressed my hand to my left eye, the sensation of the pain that shot through my vision was horrible. I even had to turn off the pain signals so I wouldn't lose concentration. The dojutsu kept trying to pull chakra to do its job, and every last bit of control went into blocking it.

- Oh, that's disgusting! - I straightened up and wiped away my tears.

- Boss, it's still on, even though it's not spinning," the copy reported.

- I snorted, "At least it's still on," I said.

At least the reason for wearing the hitai-te on his eye was clear, aside from Kakashi's obvious chakra consumption - he just didn't have enough control to affect someone else's vision. What's to say, if even with my Iryo-nin chakra control, it was barely manageable. But strangely enough, it was getting easier every moment. It felt like the sharingan was obeying or expending all available reserves. I even risked regaining sensitivity, but only flinched at the painful prick and no more.

- Boss, it's a normal dark brown eye now," the kage bunshin said after a dozen minutes.

I could feel it, too - there was no longer any disturbance from the dojutsu. After waiting a couple more minutes to be sure, I restored the normal chakra flow, and nothing changed. No pain, no frantic outflow and no change in the quality of my vision.

- Nothing," the clone said to my questioning gaze.

Hmm...

- And now? - I asked, increasing the chakra flow to the sharingan.

- Changed," he nodded as his chakra consumption reached half of what it had been in the past.

After removing the increased flow and noting the deterioration in his eyesight, I could only say that I had been lucky in this little experiment. And if I were to speculate, the reason for the taming of the dojutsu may well have been the recycling of all the remaining chakra of the past owner. Considering the fact that Obito could see through Kakashi's eye in some cases, the theory is even likely.

- If anything, the color should be replaced with the native color," the kage bunshin remarked, comparing the two eyes.
