LegionZero wrote: There is no way to say one way or the other what happened and to try to say either thing did happen is a fallacy. That's fine. There's nothing in the naruto world that's certain beyond doubt. If you use an uncertain premise to back your argument, it's not invalid. It just makes your argument's chances of being right hinge on the chance that the premise is right so I can accept that you're only probably wrong. LegionZero wrote: 0 percent of characters we know the full story of were the progeneraters of a clan. and what bearing does that have on this? Why would being the progenitor of a clan make you disproportionately more likely to have 50 children that all marry each other than normal people? LegionZero wrote: All im saying is that the Uchiha seem to be fairly pure bred. Almost all of them have identical features. Specifically what features are you talking about? Some of them can be explained without members of a nuclear family marrying each other. LegionZero wrote: I would love to know what "everything we know" (in another thread) is because there is nothing i can think of in the series that says inter-clan relationships were common back in the day when most of the world was divided by clans. Inter-village relationships were bearely a thing at the end of Part 2 There is nothing to suggest indra's direct children even thought of themselves as their own clan yet. This sort of identity usually develops over time. We only know about the world being divided by clans when shinobi mercenary clans had to constantly fight each other for a living and even during that time we see inter-clan relationships between the senju and their close allies, the uzumaki.
