[Theory] This is how long ago the sage existed

[Photon]

Because of the most recent chapter we know all people must be descendants of the sage of six path as it was said he was the first one to be born with chakra, this proves that its not something that can you can teach someone to harness otherwise more people would of begun to use chakra after his mother ate the fruit.

So now that we know all shinobi descend from his mother using her as a starting point and assuming an average of 2 kids per person and knowing there is 80,000 people in the shinobi alliance if you do log base 2 of 80000 you get 16.28771238 this is the number of generations there must be till you reach 80000 people capable of using chakra so if we round this up o 17 as some people in the era might not be ninjas and you need to anyway to achieve the full 80000.

so we have 17 generations between now and the sage of six paths mother and a generation is defined as 25 years so the sage must have lived around about 425 years ago.

its all an approximation so dont complain about the use of averages.

I couldn't understand half of that but I did understand this "so we have 17 generations between now and the sage of six paths mother and a generation is defined as 25 years so the sage must have lived around about 425 years ago."

I guess it makes sense.

p.s. I'm only saying that because your tron picture makes you look smart

 

[HyuugaHeir]

I do agree. No doubts that it is highly likely. Great point

Are you a genologist???

 

[Snape Uchiha]

There are significantly more than 80000 ninja in the world.
YOu forgot about: Genin and weaker ninja who didn't join the war, ninja who are from other villages.

Your calculations are competely off. You need to know the rate of death also and use a differential equation.

ts 80,000 in the shinobi alliance and genins fight in wars, and why do you need to know the rate of death? suggest an equation. your just saying stuff without actually supporting your points or actually inputting anything. and the rounding up accounted for there being people who could use chakra and wernt in the alliance becaus 2^17=131072 which is considerably more than 80,000 anyway. also a differential equation would give you the rate of change where as birth is clearly exponential.

not all ninja share a bloodline with the sage. He taught the secrets of chakra and ninjutsu. So people who weren't born with chakra, learned to use it when they got older.

 

[RiaValkyre]

There are people all around who are not shinobi, though they can use chakra. Thanks to the old wars. Remember, many said before.
They hid themsleves among ppl ... not each had such luck as Jiraya's student trio from the land of rain.
So even more shinobi-kinda people exist, so that could be even a higher number.

(plus: kekkeigens must have developped from his bloodline too.... that must take a long long time, looking at the fact, fusion of chakra natures is rare - only Terumi had it now? Tell me if I know it wrong.. so that is EVEN more time) What you think?


But if thats true what Draux said, it must be a LOT smaller number, cuz this way only the born-knowning-how-to-use-chakra people matter here...... (I guess kekkeis....) Hm?



(and rep +... I was thinking about this too)
