A/N: This would've been out sooner, but internet is down at my house! I'm posting from the library. Anyways, this is a continuation from the last one- enjoy!
Note: on Yoite's character profile, it says that he was good at "mental math". That's what prompted this- plus all the statistics homework I've been ignoring.
002: MIDDLE (2/3)
There was no statistical data, but Yoite had always been good with numbers. From his best estimate, the average ninja lived to be late thirties, early forties at best. Competent ninjas, at least-- there was no telling the fates that would befall ninjas who were less than so. By the time they reached the middle of their human lives, the average ninja either got killed on duty due to slowed reflexes and a weaker body, or retired and spent the rest of their days aching from old wounds.
Yoite was in the middle of his ninja career, more or less. Of course, he'd only actually been a ninja for a couple of years, but no matter. Yoite wasn't interested in the fine details.
Sixteen years old. Yoite did the math as he pulled his still damp gloves on.
If he was lucky, he might have another hundred days.
