"I don't know that the fire is a place where the jungle eats the strong...... In ignorance, ability and status are directly linked......"

A look of memory gradually appeared on Amachi's face.

"The more capable a ninja is, the higher the status and the more power he can enjoy in Shiranui."

"On the other hand, a ninja with weak ability can be said to be unable to move an inch in the ignorance of fire......"

"In our ignorance of fire, there are 4 classes. The system of class promotion and promotion is extremely cruel. ”

Amachi stretched out 4 fingers.

"These four classes from top to bottom are - upper ninja, middle ninja, lower ninja and ...... Dirty. ”

"Those who perform well have the opportunity to rise in class. Lower ninja is promoted to middle ninja, or middle ninja is promoted to upper ninja. ”

On the other hand, if you perform badly, you will be demoted, from upper to middle ninja, or middle to lower ninja, or ...... was relegated to ......"

"Dirt is the most special class in the ignorant fire......"

A wry smile appeared on Amachi's face.

"A person who has been relegated to the rank of dirt, no matter what great contribution he may make in the future, will not be able to gain class elevation."

"That is to say-once you are degraded to dirt, you can't turn over again for the rest of your life, you can only do dirt for a lifetime......"

"The male ninjas who have been relegated to dirt will no longer have any tasks assigned to them, and can only do some chores, dirty work, tiring work, and hard work in the village for the rest of their lives."

"A female ninja who was degraded to dirt...... Ah Yi, you said that you used to have a companion who was born in Shiranui, did he tell you what kind of treatment would be given to a female ninja who was demoted to 'dirt' in Shiranui? ”

"......No," Ogata shook his head, "he didn't say that." ”

"Didn't he tell you...... Really...... I really don't want to say what kind of treatment will be given to a female ninja who has been degraded to dirt......"

After sighing lightly, Amachi then smiled bitterly:

"A female ninja who is degraded to dirt has two ends."

"One is to be sent to the 'flower house.'"

"The name 'Flower House' sounds nice, but it's actually a free ......"

"A free tour ......for upper, middle, and lower ninjas"

"The female ninja who was sent to the 'flower house' will be a free wandering girl in this tour for the rest of her life until she dies......

"There is also a kind of end, which is to be used as a prize and rewarded to those male ninjas who have made great achievements as wives."

"This kind of is better, at least you only have to face one man, you don't have to go to the 'flower house', and entertain different men every day......"

"It's just...... After being assigned to a meritorious male ninja as a wife, he will not be allowed to leave Shiranui for the rest of his life......"

"Ah Yi...... Guess what class I am in now? ”

“…… Shinobi. Ogata said softly, "Am I right?" ”

"That's right." Amachi smiled, but there was a bit of sourness and bitterness in her smile, "To be precise, it is a waste shinobi who may be degraded to dirt at any time due to lack of ability and merit......"

"That Sotaro and his brother Shotaro were originally the middle ninja in my ignorance."

"Because I committed something and was afraid of punishment, I defected to Shiranui 2 years ago."

"I haven't heard anything about the two of them since they defected, and I didn't expect them to become prisoners and be captured on this island......"

"Before the two brothers defected, they were very fond of asking us for trouble with shinobi and dirt."

"After coming and going, they gradually recognized me as a 10,000-year-old half-hanger in the lower ninja......"

"I ...... I don't want to be relegated to ......."

Amachi slowly tightened his arms and hugged his legs tighter.

"Even if you can never become an upper ninja or a middle ninja, it doesn't matter if you can only be a lower ninja for a lifetime, as long as you can not become dirty......"

"That's why I cherish my mission this time......"

"Ah Yi, I should have told you too, right? How did I get this 'investigation of ogres......"

"The appearance of this mission is purely a whim of our leader......"

"I was curious about the unkillable cannibals on Butterfly Island, so I sent me over to see ......"

"A mission born out of pure curiosity......"

"So it doesn't matter if this mission is successful or not for the leader and for the whole ignorant fire......

"This kind of inconsequential task that just satisfies the curiosity of the leader is best suited to an inconsequential half-baked ninja like me."

"It's like letting your own dog go and help clean up the poop you just pulled......

"That's why my assignment is so casual from beginning to end...... On a whim, I decided to come to Butterfly Island to have a look, and I didn't provide any helpers to support me, nor did I provide any weapons to support...... Nothing, just me came alone on this mission......"

"But...... Even if I knew that this task was the lowest task, I had to do my best to complete it, to do my best to complete it. ”

"Because...... Maybe this is my last chance to save me from being degraded and prove that I'm still a useful ninja......"

"So...... I specially, especially cherish this opportunity and cherish this task...... After taking on this task, I secretly resolved that I must complete this task beautifully. ”

“…… Ah Yi, isn't my appearance particularly ugly......"

"The owner just threw the foul-smelling feces at you, and your dog had to eat it in a hurry, and you had to pinch your nose to eat the feces clean in exchange for the owner's favor......"

Despite the subtlety of Amachi's movements, Ogata was keenly aware of it—as he said this, Amachi quietly stretched out his finger and wiped the corners of his eyes.

After pursing his lips and staring at Amachi silently for a while, Ogata slowly walked up to Amachi and sat down on his knees.

"Amachi." Ogata pointed to his right, "You look this way." ”

"Why ......?"

"Don't ask so much, look this way."

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Amachi finally chose to obediently do what Ogata said, and looked in the direction of Ogata's finger.

As he looked towards Ogata's right, Amachi showed his right cheek.

After staring at the right side of Amachi's face for a moment, Ogata turned his finger in the direction he was pointing to his left.

"Amachi, let's look here."

"What the hell are you going to do......

Amachi muttered angrily as he continued to follow Ogata's instructions and looked towards Ogata's left hand side, revealing the left side of his face.
