As we know Kabuto Yakushi is a former servant of Orochimaru. During the fourth shinobi world war, Kabuto teamed up with Obito, whose task was to resurrect the legendary ninja using Edo Tensei to fight the alliance. This time we will discuss the reasons why Kabuto did not resurrect the Hokage.
Kabuto did raise Kage from various villages, but he did not raise the 4 Hokages. Surely you must be wondering, why Kabuto didn’t do Edo Tensei to the Hokage, instead Orochimaru did it.
Here’s Why Kabuto Didn’t Turn on the Hokage
You need to know that Edo Tensei is one of the Jutsu created by Tobirama Senju, the second Hokage of Konoha village. To use the technique is not easy, because the user must first learn it and collect the DNA that he wants to resurrect.
In addition to DNA, the soul of the person who wants to be resurrected must not be sealed, so this is the main reason why Kabuto cannot do Edo Tensei to the Hokage, because the souls of the Hokage are sealed.
If you remember when Orochimaru’s invasion occurred, Orochimaru had done Edo Tensei to Hashirama and Tobirama. From Orochimaru’s fight against Sarutobi, Sarutobi managed to seal the souls of Hashirama and Tobirama with Shiki Fujin.
Then in order to stop Orochimaru, Sarutobi sacrificed his life by sealing Orochimaru’s hand and soul into Shiki Fujin. As for Minato, he called Shiki Fujin, sacrificing his soul to seal Kurama into Naruto’s body.
So far, the only character who can use Shiki Fujin is Orochimaru, which is why during the fourth shinobi world war, only Orochimaru could resurrect the Hokage, because he used the Shiki Fujin seal to free their souls.
Fortunately, Kabuto was not able to use Shiki Fujin, if he had been able to use the technique and successfully resurrect the Hokage, the alliance would have had a harder time dealing with the war, they could have even lost.
This is the reason why Kabuto did not resurrect the Hokage during the war. After reading this article, what do you think if Kabuto managed to resurrect the Hokage during the war?
