Red Nara

- Ji-san, I brought help!

- Maki-chan? You're back already?

The cheerful old man's voice coming from the back of the house only made me sigh. That old man is in his repertoire. Dropping my sandals in the hallway, I walked down the hallway and entered the living room to find the veteran sitting on the floor, looking barely sixty years old, despite a full head of gray hair and an equally graying beard with a chic mustache. At first glance, he didn't look like he had recently turned ninety-two.

- Yao-ji, how many times? This is the third time in the last two months that you've tried to act like a young man," I rubbed the bridge of my nose in annoyance, "and without using chakra.

- I'm sorry, Ryo-kun," the ancient Nara frowned, "I'm still getting used to it.

Sighing, I activated the shosen no jutsu and ran my hand down the old man's spine, lingering on his lower back. A few minutes of work and Yao-san easily stood up, rubbing his back.

- Thanks Ryo-kun, I don't know what I would have done without you," he flashed his dazzling white teeth.

- Ji-san tried to move the cabinet by himself and pulled his back," the little girl told me, trying to look at her grandfather sternly.

She wasn't very good at it, but it counted.

- This huge thing? - Having looked at the impressive and massive cabinet two by two made of solid wood and weighing exactly under a hundred kilograms, I shook my head. - I understand, but it's not something a big man can lift, so you should save your newfound health, or at the very least, use your chakra to strengthen it.

- Okay, okay, I'll try," Nara said lightly.

- Ji-san promises everything, but this is the third time I've had to call Ryo-san!" Maki frowned, her fists at her sides menacingly.

- Maki, I'm healthy now, don't be angry," the veteran patted her on the head.

Looking at the cheerful old man, I could only throw up my hands and wonder if the restored health of the oldest members of the clan was really necessary. With only eight hours of work a day and two days off a week, I was able to not only reduce the number of crippled Nara fighters I had to see in the hospital to zero, but also to gradually check all the other clansmen for old ailments, untreated wounds, and the like, including the growing of new teeth.

The oldest members of the clan, who had accumulated quite a lot of mischief during their careers, were the ones who benefited the most, but after the recovery, they remembered their younger years. A couple of months ago, Yao could only walk with a stick and for short distances because of his severe shortness of breath, his back pain from a long-standing injury was almost unrelenting, and his left arm could not bend properly.

Now he runs as well as the young (once he regained his fitness a bit) and with his new teeth he is able to eat more than just liquid porridge. Of course, I am not able to restore his youth, but I am quite capable of fixing his body to an acceptable state and replacing the organs that have begun to malfunction (strangely enough, in a few units).

Ha, with the support of chakra even ancient old men like Yao can do a lot of things, but only a few of them have the opportunity to harness high-class iryo-nin to maintain their health.
