Chapter 318: Your Name (4)
"Yes."
Madara nodded calmly, and didn't refute anything, just listened quietly.
The secret record mentioned by Tsunade is the file of the ninja, and the secret record is a relatively niche statement, and the popular version should be the ninja roster.
In the ninja world, whether it is the ninja village of the five major countries or the ninja village of other small countries, as long as the ninja registered in the ninja village has its own ninja file.
This file, like the ninja's forehead, is a symbol of ninja status, and it can also be said to be an official certification.
The forehead guard belongs to the certification on the bright side, and the file belongs to the certification on the dark side.
The two are indispensable, even the traitorous ninja will not lose his forehead, but will only draw a horizontal line on the ninja village logo to show that although he has rebelled against the village, he is still a ninja.
If a ninja's forehead guard is lost, you can use the file to get a new one. If a ninja's file is lost, it can be troublesome to replace a new one, as the ninja file is one of the most important secrets of a ninja village.
A ninja's profile is not only an entry of identity, but also a detailed information about the ninja.
These materials include all information about a ninja from birth to death, much of which is unknown to even the ninja himself.
Such detailed information would be almost fatal to a ninja if it fell into the hands of a hostile ninja.
A large part of the ninja spies are responsible for stealing ninja files from other ninja villages, and even if the hostile forces get incomplete ninja files, only a few words of information, it is possible to deduce the ninja's intelligence information from them.
Therefore, the ninja archive room in each ninja village can almost be said to be one of the most heavily guarded places in the ninja village, which is full of various protective techniques, and there is a fight with the place where the book of seals is stored.
As early as the Warring States period of the ninja world, the major ninja families had a roster of ninjas of their own clan, which was also the predecessor of the ninja archive, which was called the ninja secret record at that time, and the simpler name was genealogy.
The level of detail of the ninja secret records of the major ninja clans is different, but the most detailed ninja secret records are not as detailed as the ninja files registered in the major ninja villages later.
With the development of the ninja world, some rules about ninjas have become more and more perfect, and the ninja file system established by the ninja village is naturally one of them.
"This secret book about Madara Uchiha was compiled and recorded by my second grandfather between a thousand hands." Tsunade said.
"O Doorman! He was a man who could do such a thing. ”
Madara's eyes suddenly became erratic, and Tsunade's words reminded him of something.
As early as the first ninja world, although he established Konoha Hidden Village, he did not register as a ninja in the village in Konoha, so he didn't have any ninja archives or anything like that.
At that time, the Thousand Hands Pillar gave him Konoha's first ninja forehead guard, just to test whether he would stay in Konoha as a ninja.
The answer is obvious, he won't!
So according to the rules of the Ninja Village era, he didn't belong to the ninja at all, and he didn't leave his name on Konoha's ninja roster.
It can only be said that he is the patriarch of the ninja family, and he belongs to the supernumerary person who knows ninjutsu.
He is not Madara Uchiha, a native of the ninja world, or even a native of the ninja world, but a time-traveler from the earth, belonging to an outlier with a very complicated situation.
Although he has the full identity of Madara Uchiha in the first ninja world, it is limited to the first ninja world he was born into.
In the other ninja worlds, he belongs to the super high counterfeit brand with special circumstances, and the strength is stronger than the original copycat version.
And the original indigenous Uchiha Madara did leave his name on Konoha's ninja roster, so it can be said that he is Konoha's ninja.
Until the other party later rebelled against Konoha, it was also a rebellion that belonged to Konoha.
So Madara Uchiha, the native of the second ninja world, does have a ninja file, but most of the content in the file is supplemented by Senju.
After the indigenous Madara Uchiha faked his death and escaped, Senju, who thought the other party was dead, hid the ninja file about Madara Uchiha, and claimed to have destroyed all the information about Madara Uchiha.
Later, Madara came to the second ninja world, and for some secret techniques that he didn't know, he read the life memories of the indigenous Uchiha Madara, which included some life fragments and ninja secrets in addition to the use of various secret techniques.
The latter two Madara just watched it from the perspective of a bystander as if they were watching a movie, and they didn't fully record it, so he only knew some things about the indigenous Uchiha Madara in Konoha back then, not to mention a complete understanding.
But in the second ninja world, Senju Kazuma recorded everything he knew in order to beware of Madara Uchiha, and it became the secret record of the Senju clan.
Tsunade, who had been staring at Madara, frowned slightly, Madara's expression seemed to be familiar with Senjuma, and that natural expression didn't look like a disguise.
But Tsunade is sure that Madara is definitely not Madara Uchiha, and seeing Madara's expression now, she can't figure out why Madara who is not Madara Uchiha is very familiar with her second grandfather, Senju.
Tsunade only felt that Madara's identity was really an unclear mess, and all kinds of contradictions abounded, and people couldn't figure out the truth and falsehood.
But then again, it was Madara's contradictory identity that made her doubt about Madara's identity even stronger.
Tsunade suppressed the floating thoughts in his heart and continued: "When I was a child, when I was looking through some classics in the family collection, I once accidentally read that secret record, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, I just used it as a mythological story, and I never thought that one day I would meet the owner of the story. However, it was so surprising that I met you, a man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha! In your words, the truth of this universe is impermanence, which is really impermanent. He paused, looked into Madara's eyes, and noticed that the other party's gaze had also been overlooked.
The two looked at each other, and Tsunade smiled suddenly, "I actually want to say that I memorized that secret record from beginning to end." And then I'll tell you that you and Madara Uchiha are not the same person at all. He sighed as he spoke, "It's a pity that you can read mind ninjutsu...... Oh...... It's not ninjutsu, it should be called telepathy. In short, you can know my inner thoughts, and you can also know that I didn't memorize that secret record, and I have almost forgotten what was written on it. When I first read it, I didn't read it very seriously, if I hadn't met you, I would have forgotten everything written on it in a dozen years, and I might not even remember that there was such a secret record. ”
“……”
Madara, who had been standing there listening to the story, was silent for a moment, walked to the chair opposite Tsunade, and re-sat down in the place he had sat before he left just now, propping up the table with his two arms, his hands crossed against his chin, and staring at Tsunade, "Do you say that there is another possibility, the secret record you saw is actually written by a thousand hands idle and boring!" ”
After saying that, he saw Tsunade glaring at him angrily and laughing again, "Just kidding, the story you said is very interesting, I haven't heard such an interesting thing for a long time, you go on, I'll listen." ”
"Humph!"
Tsunade snorted coldly, "Don't be complacent, although I can't remember all the secret records, but as a direct descendant of the Thousand Hands Pillars, I grew up listening to the stories of my grandfather and Madara Uchiha, Madara Uchiha as the sworn enemy of the Thousand Hands clan, the villain of the ninja world, and the strongest enemy of Konoha, I have more or less heard many legends about each other from various channels, of course, there is false information, but as a qualified ninja, screening information is also one of the compulsory courses for ninjas. Since you know my thoughts, you also know that whether it is the information describing Madara Uchiha in the secret part of the secret record that I still remember, or the information in some of the information I screened later, it is completely different from you! ”
After saying that, his eyes were fixed on Madara, wanting to see how he reacted.
"Oh!"
Madara just replied without refuting or admitting it, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
Tsunade wasn't surprised to see Madara react like this, "I know that you won't admit that you're not Madara Uchiha based on that alone, after all, even I can't remember some of the things written in the secret record, but this is not the only evidence. In fact, I can remember that old secret record, and it was only after I found out that you were not Madara Uchiha and wanted to find evidence that I remembered such a thing. ”
Madara still maintained an unwavering expression, but the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly as his hands were blocked.
Tsunade didn't tell a lie, the secret record in her mind was indeed too old to be buried in the depths of her memory, and she herself had a flash of inspiration before she remembered such a thing.
Madara had probed Tsunade's memories, but hadn't dug deeper, so he didn't know there was such a thing.
A person's memory is a complex thing, and looking at a person's memory is a more complicated thing.
It is true that Madara, who is proficient in telepathy, can read anyone's memories, but the memories obtained vary depending on the way they are read.
Fast reading generally obtains the party's recent memories and the party's deep memories, and deep and fast reading may permanently damage the person's brain, so Madara will only use this method when facing enemies.
It takes much more time and effort to read a person's memory from start to finish than it does to read it instantly, and Madara rarely does it this way.
Because a person's memory is not a complete chain, but a network of fragments of memory, connected or disconnected.
For example, human memory is like a film film, a coherent and deep memory will be a long piece of film, and a fragmented and shallow memory is just a photographic film.
Reading people's memories is like watching a movie, different people correspond to different movies, there are wonderful blockbusters, there are also cookie-cutter movies, the more complete the memory chain plays, the smoother the playback, and the more trivial the memory chain, the more difficult it is to play.
Some people's memories are very scattered, almost all of them are all kinds of disconnected fragmented memory films, and if you want to read this kind of person's memories completely, Madara has to become a film editor, splicing together each other's memory fragments, and the whole process is complex and boring.
So unless there is a special need, Madara reads a person's memory only by looking at the part of himself that he needs.
