Shinobi alliance is totally fucked.
Rofl. Madara is on Aizen's troll level. Magnificent!
Why didn't he break away from Kabuto sooner?
Madara you are one magnificent bastard. Can we get a title change THIS time even though we were due one during the dr snakes debacle?
Also, were Tobirama's movements restricted the moment he was summoned by Orochimaru? I would think the creator of the jutsu would release himself otherwise.
Tobirama didnt have any free will at all, unlike Madara who had complete free will.
There was a brief period before Orochimaru inserted those seals, so I don't know.
Spoiler: show
Oh Madara the trollest of trolls. I'm not worthy
Uhh... well shit.
Now I dunno who is gonna fight him; Naruto or the Sauce, or maybe both. I'll say this, however: good fucking luck. You want a last boss? THAT'S a last boss.
So did he undo the undo of edo tensei or just reactivate it?
I'm guessing he edo-tensei summoned himself or something?
Or maybe he undid the release seal.
Either he released the seal, re-cast it as he was fading away (because he -WAS- fading away, which means that the jutsu -WAS- wearing off for a moment), or just broke the galaxy.
My issue is that wasn't it niidaime hokage that invented it? I thought Shodai killed Madara, which would possibly/probably place Madara as already dead when Niidaime invented it, unless Niidaime invented it while Shodai and Madara were still battling, or even prior to that.
When would madara have had a chance to witness and copy that jutsu? Did he watch from beyond the grave? It wasn't like Kabuto summoned him prior to this, because he doesn't even know who the summoner is. I'm actually confused this time.
I don't think the second hokage was hokage very long. Everytime they've shown him whether it was while the 1st was around, or when the 2nd was about to die and the 3rd took over, he looked exactly the same. Odds are Madara saw him use this prior to his fight with the first, they were technically allies up till then, weren't they?
Also, Sasuke just got his in with the ninja world again. Oldmankage just proclaimed him and Itachi as heroes of the ninja world lol.
This is a pretty stupid way to keep Madara around. Why didn't the 2nd, the dude who actually invented the jutsu, do the same thing?
Why would he want to?
Ok so narutopedia is going with: The one risk of the technique, if the resurrected knows the specific seal, one can release the Impure World Reincarnation's summoning contract, severing the bond between themselves and the summoner. This leaves the individual effectively immortal with an unlimited amount of chakra, and the summoner has no control over the individual's mind and movements any longer, nor can the technique be deactivated on the said individual.[34]
Itachi countered mind control with Shisui's eye.
Dan was able to use a spirit jutsu to move freely while disappearing
And Madara executes the jitsu to initiate it again, hence giving him immortality?
Man this M. Night Shyamalan twist.
