Orochimaru is a creep but Sasuke is a fucking creep, how dare he lay his hands (though through Orochimaru) on Minato, I hope Naruto will kill him for desecration of his father. Anyways interesting chapter...

Wow! Oro, wow!

If Oro has Rikudo Sennin's DNA, then he can revive him too since now there's a way for the sealed souls to be Edo Tenseid, right?

This chapter was nothing but suspense until the last few pages. Gotta admit, this whole setup was rather sudden. Just suddenly, Orochimaru gets his arms back and the previous Kages are resurrected? Yeah..

If ALL the other ninja are under one force, realistically, these Kages won't stand a chance against them, "legendary" or not. And I highly doubt Orochimaru will have Harashima fight Madara. Yes, they've battled before, but that wouldn't make sense for them to do that right now. Orochimaru probably doesn't care about Madara enough to order Harashima to do that. Where are people getting that idea?

Also, what's stopping Orochimaru from using these 4 powerful kage to gang Sasuke so he can get his body? Sure he doesn't NEED it anymore since he has his arms, but doesn't he still want the Sharingan?

I wonder what Sasuke plans to do if he doesn't want to enter the war OR destroy the village..

I guess he's resurrecting them in order all "the secrets" to be known, that to begin.. later they might fight on Oro's side,but it's not that sure...

Hopefully the First hid his power. Considering Madara is on a whole new level.

Awesome chapter.

I hope we'll see Hashirama vs Madara and Obito vs Minato.

I believe that the 4 hokage will make Sasuke decide what he will do in terms of allegiance. Hopefull they'll make him wake the f* up.

Really good chapter. What I wonder the most about is just what exactly Orochimaru's plans are. As of now I have no idea whose side he's on (well, probably his own side but I'm really curious what his goal is).

Most people here seem to have forgotten that he resurrected them first and foremost to get some answers and NOT to fight. Although with such a fighting force he might be planning to use them later on.
And what those "answers" will be is also a really interesting question. Hope we'll see it next chapter.

I wonder why he resurrected them beneath the Uchiha shrine of all placed. I guess it's because that place has something to do with the questions they're gonna ask the Hokage.

On a sidenote, from what we've seen so far of him, I never got the feeling that Minato has a clue about what's actually going on. If he did, he would've told Naruto already. He also was totally stumped about Tobi's identity.

The cool thing is that now the Fourth is no longer sealed in the belly of the Shinigami and will be able to pass to the Pure world when it is all said and done...Along with the first three Hokage's.

Hory Shitto. Goddamn, this is why I love Naruto. Even Minato, guess Kushina might finally be able to meet him again. But damn, that is overkill right there. The four strongest shinobi from their time with unlimited chakra and slaved under Orochimaru? Wow, the irony if he decided to use them to crush Konoha, huh?

Holy shit!
U got to be kidding me!?!
They're going to use masks... what cheap trick. After the 4th had to learn it.

They reversed the Demon Death Seal and brought back the 4 of them!
I hope Sasuke has thought this through and has no intention of doing anything stupid!

This could also mean that Naruto could get the remaining portion of the Kyuubi's chakra that was sealed away.

Could it be for the sole purpose of retrieving intel?

Holy crap. I have a lot to say to this chapter. Very impressive Kishi.

Now it makes sense that Sasuke looked for Orochimaru, since he was afflicted by the Shikifujin himself so Orochimaru will have a better grasp undoing the Shikifujin.

With all the Hokages revived now... I am pretty certain Orochimaru will have Jiraiya's DNA and revive him in case he wants to join the war.

As for the First Hokage... he might even be sent to war in order to equal with Madara... but I dont see Orochinaru will let that happen.

As for the Second Hokage, since he created Edotensei, he might be able to resist the shackles of the Edo Tensei if he was given freedom like Madara.

As for the Third, he will mention what atrocity it is to Orochimaru summoning the Kages.

And for the Fourth... can't think of any but Naruto himself.

Seriously didnt expect that scroll would contain the undoing of the Shikifujin. Well done. Kishi!!!

all this proves that Orochimaru is the ultimate badass in the story >:3

being able to summon Madara (well kabutochimaru summoned him but it's still Oro's knowledge), the first and forth hokage...he could rule the ninja world :)))

looks like the story is approaching its conclusion, I wonder if it will last till the end of the year.

anyways awesome chapter, just what I wanted...less Naruto bs, moar Orochimaru

I can see it! Sasuke and the rest will get the info they were looking for (while draging out the moment for 5-10 chapters).
Sasuke will find a new goal, then they will somehow travel to the battlefield, appear in the middle of the army (or next/close to Naruto) with the Hokages behind them, and then Sasuke will say something like ''I'll let you borrow Orochimaru's puppets for now, you obviously can't win, dobe'' and leave to hide that he actually cares.

My theory is that everyone thought chapter 618

The surprising thing was we have seen Sasuke and Orochimaru plus Taka again.
And the next surprise was make use of Edo Tensei by Orochimaru to
bring the Kage back.

There were a few theories about who they'd meet. Most involved Sasuke's parents or something like that. The previous Hokage were usually not involved in those theories. I guess for alot of people those guys were the last they'd expect. And for a simple reason: until this chapter it was thought to be completely impossible for any of them to be resurrected!

So you're trying to tell us that you sat at home thinking "yeah, so that mysterious scroll TOTALLY contains the way to undo the shiki fuujin, therefore making it possible for the previous Hokage to be resurrected. It's so obvious, duh." If you did then kudos to you man. You must be some kinda psychic.

I thought the Hokages weren't able to come back but I guess the ritual Orochimaru performed since he was able to get his arms back now he can now use Edo Tensei on anyone if I am not mistaken.

I'm sure he has the resources to bring back Jiraiya too.


i think it is because they where stored in the body of that sealing spirit, or what ever it was, and he released them with his arms, i don't think any one can bring back jiraiya untill they have part of his dna, since his body is at the bottom of the sea and they can't find his body, until until then (probably won't happen, but by the way things are going they could)

I knew I recognized that mask from somewhere. Did anyone else realize it was the Reaper mask before it was revealed? And Sasuke did the exact same thing Naruto did when he came into the village. The reason he thought the village changed a lot is because it went through a complete remodeling.

And holy crap a TON of stuff happened in this one chapter. They resurrected the 4 hokages using Edo Tensei and Orochimaru finally managed to get back his arms thus completely undoing what the Third hokage accomplished in his death.

A lot of people predicted this was what was in the scroll. One example in the spoiler



What happened was, Orochimaru put on the mask and I'm pretty sure the deal is if you put on the mask you have to be made a sacrifice. Since Orochimaru lost his arms fighting the third he was never able to use Edo Tensei again [I don't get why he wasn't since he was still able to use his other jutsu like summoning during the Sannin Battle and while versing 4 tails Naruto]. When he used Edo Tensei, since his body was injured he snaked himself into one of the zetsu bodies so he was fine. I think Orochimaru used the last of his strength to use the edo tensei

1. You know they're gonna use Edo shit

2. Kishi the idiot was, throughout the chapter trying to hype up something surprising

3. Edo = Surprise? Must be someone who can't really come back via edo; people sealed in the shinigami. Either way who else can they revive that hasn't been revived yet? Who else is most related to KONOHA. And the Uzumaki freaking masked temple and the mask itself. Jeez.

So you see, the scroll was irrelevant to come up with that conclusion. It was completely side-stepped. They could go to south america and get vampire masks and awaken pillar men for all I care, it is totally easy to predict. What surprised me, is that Kishi is stupid enough to actually go on with it and pretend it's a plot-twist. Much like Tobi being Obito.

And you really don't need to be a psychic. Just common sense.

Wait, are we talking about this being predictable since weeks ago or since this weeks chapter started?

If it's the first, again I can't see how this could've been so obvious.

If it's the latter...well then the complaint really doesn't make much sense. Of course the last page of this chapter wasn't that big a shock after reading the previous pages since the entire chapter built up to it. Seems to me like you're trying to say that "what happened in this week's chapter was totally easy to predict after reading half of this week's chapter" which is kinda redundant...
