Chapter 313: Tristram Shandy
"So, a few very simple questions, let's take [Filthy Earth Reincarnation] as an example, how long did it take you to study and learn this ninjutsu?"
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then recalled and replied. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"If you count the time it took to collect the test samples, it took me about five years to thoroughly perfect and practice this ninjutsu, and then it took about three years to make up for the flaws and loopholes."
"It's really worthy of Leng Jun! I've also had a preliminary look at the information of the second-generation Hokage Seal's [Filthy Earth Reincarnation], and although it has been theoretically able to justify itself, there are still very big problems. It only took 8 years to complete this ninjutsu to a practical stage. ”
Iruka clapped softly.
"I believe that in the past 8 years, you have not only studied this one ninjutsu, but also should have a lot of time to evade Konoha and deal with some troublesome trivial matters."
Orochimaru couldn't help but nodded.
"So, let's assume that Mr. Orochimaru, you have an infinite number of test pieces, and you don't need to think about any other messy trivialities, and finally, if you only study one ninjutsu for a while, will you be able to complete the development and perfection of [Filthy Earth Reincarnation] in one year's time?"
Orochimaru thought about it for a while, calculated it carefully, and then nodded: "It's about the same." ”
"So, how long do you think it took Nidaime-sama to develop this ninjutsu in the first place?" Iruka chuckled:
"The age of the second generation at the time of sacrifice minus the time he spent learning and growing, and in the following time, he developed about a hundred kinds of ninjutsu, some of which are relatively strong, and some are slightly weaker, and he has also developed almost ten forbidden techniques similar to [Filthy Earth Reincarnation]!"
There was a hint of longing in Orochimaru's eyes, for every developer, the genius-like development ability of the second generation is indeed something they all need to look up to.
"The second Hokage-sama is indeed a terrifying genius!"
Iruka watched Orochimaru slowly take the bait, and then said, "Then, let's even if it took almost a year for the second generation Hokage to develop this ninjutsu." ”
Orochimaru nodded again in agreement.
"A genius like the second generation is indeed a ghost talent that is difficult to appear in the ninja world for a hundred years, but the number of ninjas in the entire ninja world is too much, assuming that a ninja spends his whole life developing, researching, and perfecting a ninjutsu, at least dozens or even hundreds of different ninjutsu are developed every year...... So, Mr. Orochimaru, do you think it's because you're learning faster? Or are they developing faster? ”
Orochimaru frowned, he could feel that there were some loopholes in Iruka's words, but for a moment he couldn't find the flaws, so he could only say what he had thought.
"However, I have unlimited time to learn and develop, and one day I will learn all the ninjutsu in this world and gain insight into the truth of this world!"
"Infinity! How many paradoxes are hidden in infinity! ”
Iruka sighed faintly, but a smile appeared in her eyes, and Orochimaru finally took the bait.
"So, have you heard of the Shandy Paradox?"
"Clams? Who? ”
"In the lost history of the ninja world, there is a philosopher named Russell who put forward such a theory, there is a man named Shandi, who spent two years recording the history of the first two days of his life, assuming that he can live indefinitely and write it persistently, then his biography will not leave any part out."
Orochimaru's brows furrowed, and his long tongue spat out of his mouth, shaking in the air.
"What do you mean, my research, like the diary of a strangely named man?"
"Yes, and my question is, does his diary have a last page?"
Orochimaru's eyes showed a dangerous look: "You want to prove that this person's diary can never be written, to prove that I will never know everything about ninjutsu." ”
"Isn't it?"
"It takes a year to complete a diary of a day, so theoretically, every year, he completes one of the three hundred and sixty-fifth of the diary of that year, although it seems that it can never be completed, but if the numerator and denominator are multiplied by infinite time, infinite fractions of infinity, isn't it 1?"
"Not bad theory, so let's assume that Shandy spent infinite time in the past to complete his diary, and just today Shandy finished the last page of his diary!"
Iruka spoke.
"Well, that is, it took him a whole year this year to write about what happened today, which means that it took him a whole year last year to finish yesterday's diary!"
“!”
Orochimaru's eyes widened suddenly!
"This! That's impossible! ”
"So theoretically, you can't learn all the ninjutsu in the world, because every day a new ninjutsu is developed, and obviously you can't use last year to learn the ninjutsu that was developed yesterday!"
"So...... So, what exactly is my pursuit for so many years for ......"
Orochimaru stared at his trembling hands, a little overwhelmed.
The corners of Iruka's mouth on the side twitched, and he thought secretly in his heart.
I haven't said anything that makes you more desperate, to gain insight into the truth by knowing all that ninjutsu is a false proposition in itself!
What Orochimaru wants is to know the law of the world by understanding the infinite arts! It's like a blind man touching an elephant.
If every technique depicts an aspect of the elephant, then indeed, after knowing every detail of the elephant, it is possible to imagine the image of the elephant!
However, you don't know if it's going to be mixed in with the wrong data, and you're giving the wrong answer.
Even if you can use all kinds of experiments and proofs to eliminate all the wrong answers, what you depict is still a monster with a long nose, big ears, huge fangs of an elder, four legs, and a tail!
Before you open your eyes and actually see this creature, you still can't tell yourself that this thing is an elephant!
"So ......"
Suddenly, Orochimaru spoke.
"What is your reason for raising me?"
Orochimaru is worthy of being a strong man who fought in the sea of corpses and blood, although he was a little lame by Iruka for a while, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"If it's just to point out my mistakes, you don't have to do it at all!"
