Which Ninjas Did Kabuto Revive?

Kabuto revived a number of great ninjas to help Akatsuki win the 4th World Ninja War. A few great and skilled ninjas revived are the following:

Kabuto's evil Impure World Resurrection technique revives the former members of Akatsuki including Itachi, previous kages, former Jinchuurikis and other great ninjas like Zabuza and Haku, Asuma, Chiyo of the Sand and even Kimimaru (bloodline limit that uses bones). They will be totally controlled by Kabuto when he finally decides to fully utilize the power of the forbidden technique. However, its power is quite limited since it cannot summon those ninjas who were sealed like Yondaime and the Third Hokage.

Impure World Resurrection: A Little History and Hnw It Works



It was actually created by the Second Hokage and later studies and perfected by Orochimaru. It needs an alive human being as a sacrifice to revive the dead one. Kabuto takes blood from the dead, does the ritual and the sacrifice will then be transformed into the dead one's appearance. The soul of the dead one will also be transferred to the sacrifice.

On the other hand, Naruto shows off his physical appearance, almost controlling and using the 9 tailed beasts powers. This reminds us of the "Sage of Six Paths" however Naruto does not have the Rinnegan. Naruto in Sage of the  6 Paths mode picture below:

Gaara's Speech

Gaara's Speech

Commander General of the 5 Great Nations Joint Army

Three Times Now.

We've fought world wars for

our own nations,

our own villages.

We've hurt one another.

We've hated one another.

That hatred bred

a lust of power,

and that lust for power created

ME.

I was a Jinchuuriki,

the EMBODIMENT OF HATRED AND POWER.

And I hated this world,

and all the people in it.

I wanted to destroy it

with my own hands.

The exact same thing

Akatsuki is trying to do

today.

But one man,

one ninja from the Hidden Leaf

stopped me.

I was his enemy,

yet he wept for me!

He saved me!

My enemy,

my fellow jinchuuriki.

He suffered

the same pain as me,

yet bore no ill will!

There are no enemies here

because we've all suffered

at Akatsuki's hand!

So there is

no sand,

no stone,

no leaf,

no mist, and

no cloud!

There are only "Shinobi!"

And if you still 

hold a grudge

against the sand,

then when this

war is over,

come and take

me head instead!

Our enemies are after

the friend who 

saved my life!

I want to

protect him,

and I want to

protect our world!

But I'm too young

to protect it all

on my own!

All of you,

lend me your aid!

Everyone who's with me,

let's go!

Naruto Shippuuden Movie 4: The Lost Tower Spoilers

Naruto Meets His Yondaime Hokage In The Past

The plot:

Assigned on a mission to capture Mukade, a missing-nin. Naruto Uzumaki sets out for the once glorious historic ruins of “Ouran” where he pursues and corners the rogue ninja. Mukade’s goal is revealed to be a dormant leyline within the ruins. He unleashes the power of the leyline causing a light to envelop Naruto, sending him into the past, 20 years before the series began. When Naruto awakens, he comes into contact with his father, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Another Version:

This movie happens just after Naruto beats Nagato/Pain, before the Kage’s meeting and declaration of war by Madara.

Naruto is training with Kakashi. Kakashi wants to test Naruto’s new sage ability. He hit him with chidori/lightning blade that ruptures the already weak seal. Naruto looses control of nature chakra/kyubi chakra combined with lightning and then Naruto forms a mental image his dad while fighting Pain.

Naruto passes out and then wakes up somewhere in between Sand and Konoha Village. He sees a big tower and goes toward it. However, he gets attacked by puppets. He tried to escape and moved around like a maze to avoid leaving tracks but he was trapped. However, someone else is trapped there while on a mission, his dad–The 4th! LOL.

Yondaime does not realize and thought that Naruto was sent by the village to look for him since he is the Hokage. He tells Naruto that it is a trap by the Sand to capture him for ransom or because of some Konoha secret scroll. The culprit is the Third Kazekage, the one with the master puppet techniques.

Yondaime tells Naruto that his wife (Kushina) is pregnant. Naruto realizes he must not reveal who he is.

They later found the enemy and beat him with rasengans.

Naruto later reveals himself and meets his mom. However, he did not tell them about the Kyuubi attack even though Naruto insists to warn them because Yondaime says he doesn’t want to know about the future because it might change history but said that he is proud to see that his son grew up strong and surpassed him and Jiraiya. He is also happy that Naruto wants to be Hokage someday.

Third Hokage finds an old jutsu and sends naruto back.

Naruto wakes up. He did not really go anywhere but was out for a few days in coma. Naruto did not tell anyone what happened and keeps it to himself. He went to mountain monument and talked to his mother’s grave and the thirds. He promised to control the Kyuubi one day.

This is why we need to burn dead bodies into ashes...



Kabuto has just summoned six dead bodies right in front of Madara because of his interest to join Akatsuki once again. Six dead bodies are Nagato, Kakuzu, Deidara, Sasori, Itachi and another body which was not shown yet.



The unknown body must be so important and powerful that Madara agreed to let him join Akatsuki. Kabuto's motivation is to have the chance to see young Uchiha---Sasuke.

In the meantime, Anko's search team has just tracked Kabuto and has lead them close to Madara's base. What is Kabuto's real intention? Why did he lead Anko's team to Madara's base? Why did he joined forces with Madara?

On the otherhand, Naruto has agreed to take in the 'Kyuubi's Will'. Unafraid, Naruto trusts that he can control the 'Kyuubi's Chakra' as well as the 'Kyuubi's Will'.

The 6 Figures of Pain attacks Konoha on the next episode.

Naruto Shippuden Episode 155 - The First Challenge (pictures and summary)

Naruto Shippuden Episode 155 - The First Challenge

The secret toad oil of Mount Myoboku coming from a waterfall has the ability to attract nature energy into one's body, however, it can turn you into a frog if you are inexperienced when it comes to absoring natural energy.

A ninja must have the three types of energy (mental, physical, and nature) balanced. If you have too much of the nature energy it can turn you into frog forever, it wont be reversible.



Naruto will be using the toad oil during the training. In case Naruto is turning into a frog, Lord Fukasaku will beat Naruto with his baton which can beat the nature energy out of Naruto if he's already starting to turn into a frog.






Pain is heading out to attack Konoha and capture the Nine-Tailed-Beast (Naruto).



There are only two tailed beasts the Akatsuki have yet to capture, that is the nine-tailed and the eight-tailed beasts. However, Pain has yet to discover that the Sasuke has captured only the eight-tailed clone and not eight-tailed beast itself.

On the other hand, Naruto suggested to Lord Fukasaku to use shadow clones to exponentially increase his progress. If a shadow clone turn into a frog, the original will also turn into a frog. Lord Fukasaku agreed however to the maximum only four clones so that he can keep up with his baton.

Determined to improve immediately, Naruto even jumped into the toad oil river. After so much training, Naruto has somehow managed to see and feel Nature Energy.



Now, Lord Fukasaku will test his sage chakra by having Naruto carry a stone frog using his ninjutsu chakra first. Unable to do it, now, Lord Fukasaku asked Naruto to mold his Sage chakra and then lift the stone frog. He did! Even faster than Jiraiya did before.

Next step in training is to master controlling nature energy without using the toad oil.

Lord Fukasaku also gave Naruto the first book Jiraiya ever wrote entitled "Tales of a Gutsy Ninja".



In the meantime, the Akatsuki has discovered that Sasuke only capture an octopus leg instead of the eight-tailed itself.

Naruto Shippuden Episode 154 - Decryption (pictures and summary)

The dead Hidden Rain Ninja were sent to the autopsy room to be studied by Shizune and the others to uncover Pain's secrets.

Jiraiya's has the habit of writing the symbol for "ta" like the number 9 according to Naruto.




Shiho (with eyeglasses who seem to fancy Shikamaru), Shikamaru, Naruto and Kakashi inside the decipher room with the code.



Using Jiraiya's 'Make-Out Tactics' novel, her's what they found: "The real one's not one of them".

Lord Fukasaku wants to take Naruto to Myobokuzan (also called Mount Myoboku or Mount Maze or the Land of Toad) to train in Sage Jutsu under his guidance. He will be taken to Mount Myoboku using the Reverse Summoning Jutsu. Gamakichi summoned Naruto in reverse.

Pictures of Myobokuzan:




Sage Jutsu, unlike Ninjutsu (utilize your own internal energy), involves taking in outside energy for use.

Ninjutsu utilizes chakra that is molded from one's Mental and Physical Energy.



Sage Jutsu involves taking that internally generated chakra and adding Nature Energy from the outside to create a more powerful chakra. It will improve your ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu.

Mental and Physical Energy plus Nature Energy equals Sage Jutsu.



First step is to have Naruto sense nature energy by being one with nature thru dying. Dying meaning you will stop being human, instead you'll be a frog forever. Absorbing nature energy means one's ability to sense nature energy around you and draw it into yourself. By becoming one with nature you also gain full control over the nature energy, entering and leaving your body. It means sitting still. When you cease your flow of animal instincts and harmonize with the flow of nature, you will be able to sense nature energy for the first time.

Using ninjutsu chakra will tire up a ninja, while using nature energy will not tire up the ninja. In fact, the use of nature energy by a ninja will give the ninja the ability to heal himself quickly and conserve his internal energy.

Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima we're the toads Jiraiya summoned durig his fight with Pain.
