Red Nara

- I think I can use this trump card, so I can rearrange the second one later, and changing the color is no more difficult than changing skin pigmentation," I nodded to him, "the main thing is, how will it make the sharingan work?

- Then I'll check it now? - The doppelganger raised an eyebrow.

- I think I should," I nodded.

It took a couple minutes, and then I turned the dojutsu on and off.

- It didn't make much difference.

Huh, that's another plus for survivability. I can't say I need the sharingan that much, but the ability to copy and memorize other people's techniques is delicious. The information load is still too heavy for a long activation, as well as the chakra requirements, but it's possible to walk around with one of these eyes. Test it out, so to speak. The fact that the Uchiha and the team were Danzo's people allowed me to acquire the dojutsu, but the clan members in the "Not" clan are a little unsettling.

- All the best.

The door of the office behind the visitor slammed shut, and the abbess sighed and rose from her chair and walked to the window, where she had a perfect view of the orphanage, where a playground had been set up for the children. But at the moment the children of all ages were not playing, but gathered at the entrance to the building and waited for their goal.

Nara went out into the street and was almost buried under the crowd of kids that came from all sides and pulled him to play. Seeing such a touching scene, the former Anbu smiled warmly and once again regretted that she was not ten years younger - then she could compete for the attention of a young genius. Especially since Suzuka still managed to get her one night and Ryo was even better than expected in bed.

Considering the fact that the kunoichi had once dated an experienced iryo-nin and knew exactly what to expect, that spoke for itself. Yes and the guy was a very tempting target for many girls and women without even considering clan status and power. It was enough to see how he fiddled even with other people's children to be convinced of that.

Of course, like most shinobi, Nara had his flaws and deviations, but compared to some of his former colleagues, he seemed to be a model of sanity and reasonableness. Suzuka would not refuse such a partner not only in bed, but also in life, but age...

The abbess of the orphanage realized that despite her almost maniacal care for her own physical form, the years were taking their toll, and by shinobi standards, she was already an old woman. And the wrinkles that were gradually appearing on her face did not allow to indicate otherwise.

A possible fight with younger and more active kunoichi was doomed to defeat. One could only be glad that the status of a cripple was already in the past.

With a sigh, Suzuka moved away from the window, sat down at the table and turned her thoughts to a different area. Ryo's recent proposal was outrageous and - what the heck! - unrealistic. For a clan (albeit a lazy Nara clan) to offer to foster orphans, not just with the promise of material support, but full training and likely acceptance into their ranks?!
