How will Tobi/Madara use Edo Tensei?

[dilated_junkie]

What do you think Madara plans on using Edo Tensei for? He wanted to learn it, so how will he use it? Who would he summon if he does use it?

I was thinking that there's no reason for him to have learned it, without wanting to use it for something. Maybe this could be another method to revive the sage of the six paths for him....maybe he plans on advancing the technique in some fashion(i.e. resurrection from the other worlds, death gods belly)??? He could resurrect his old clansmen and have them fight.

I can't imagine he would really want people to fight for him in most cases (besides sasuke ), and Kabuto already has nearly every great ninja already....plus an unknown casket. Is Madara gonna try to steal back the unknown casket by learning the ins/outs of the technique?

If he does use the technique I would think that he'd use it to learn something or for a higher purpose....not just to fight battles.

Or do you think he 'learned' it so that Kishi could explain the whole process/technique to the audience, and it has no relevance to Madara and his plot.

Any thoughts?

Madara will never get to use it, or he's use is going to be EXTREMELY limited. Kishi is not going to trow around edo's from now to the end of the manga or this is going to turn in one lame manga.
Edo's are going to be revealed to have some very major drawbacks or something that will not allow Madara to use it. Perhaps some plot device use one time but i realy don't see Madara using it more then that.
As for the sage .... I realy don't think Madara can bring him back because where in the world would he get the DNA ?

[kidopitz27]

i think he will use it after some time after he learn the backlash of the jutsu madara is not dumb enough to use a jutsu without researching for it and he already put some zetsu spores to kabuto to spy

I thought this too, but it's possible that since he has the 'tablet' that the sage wrote inscriptions on visible to sharingan and rinnegan....maybe he know more than he's saying and has the sage's set of eyes....or dna remnants in the tailed beasts from when he was host. I don't think its very probable that he would....but they could really introduce anything for that. Look at Kabuto....he had to find out where all those dead ninja's were buried and/or sneak into several countries/villages to steal their dna samples....all within a pretty short amount of time. All the while, he had to learn how to control/use Orochimaru's 'power'. Pretty outlandish, but the manga made it happen.

He'll use it to get Shishui's eyes, but get hit by the backlash instead. I'm still thinking the core of Edo Tensei is disastrous for a Uchiha. The First liked the Uchiha, but his brother certainly didn't trust them. If we haven't seen any Edo Tensei drawbacks on Kabuto when Madara uses it, it will fail and really hurt him.

I think besides revealing info to the readers it will come up again when Madra is lecturing a dieing Kabuto about the foolishness of him thinking he mastered this justu better then either one his eyes(pick one) has allowed him to. I really think it will go the same way as his final talk with Danzou did.

Skeleton remains. The Sage's remains have a high chance of having either been completely destroyed i.e. burned to ashes and thrown to the wind, or preserved e.g. like a mummy, or in a tomb of sorts. The Sage was regarded as a Godly figure, and the founder of all ninjutsu so it wouldn't be unlikely that his body was preserved and given special honors. Even if his elder son most likely despised him after his death, the younger son can have preserved and honored his remains. If Madara has gotten hold of his preserved skeleton remains he'll have DNA. It's a frightening thought as bringing back the Sage would be a very bad idea. Talk about broken, it's basically Nagato 2.0.

Madara using Edo Tensei in the future wouldn't be farfetched, but I don't really think he needs to. At most I see him summoning a few bodies, and those would be solely for causing emotional trauma like summoning Jiraiya in front of Naruto just to mess with him. Madara is so powerful on his own that I don't see him ever needing undeads to do his bidding unless he does it just to be a douchebag.

Hey, don't forget Minato and Kushina. Trust me, he WILL find out about what Minato did and resurrect him later on.

Nice! I was thinking similar things....

I don't think I'd like it, but I thought that maybe Madara would figure out something with edo tensei and/or he'd use his eyes and and he can summon anyone from any world. something just tells me we havent seen the last of minato and maybe even kushina.

[DementedKirby]

I doubt Madara will ever use Edo Tensei. That's more of Orochimaru's bag. Although, Madara took Nagato's power, so him now using Edo Tensei isn't so far fetched. However, Edo Tensei is a summoning spell. And Kakashi told his gennins that the Sharingan can copy every technique except bloodline limits and summonings, because bloodline limits are unique to a person's body, not just their chakra or seals, and a summoning is a contract. So unless Madara correctly completes the ritual he can't use Edo Tensei. And something tells me that Kabuto didn't show Madara everything. Just enough to calm his desires. Kabuto's not stupid enough to show Madara his entire arsenal.

I think we all can agree that there's at least a few things Kabuto didn't tell Madara. I've wondered if there were details for the ritual that Kabuto didn't mention in hopes Madara would perform the technique incorrectly and maybe seal himself, or transfer power or something. What if Kabuto gained Madara as a summon....that would be hilarious.

I guess that in the end of this arc - where Naruto and Sasuke will probably confront each other once again -, Naruto will be able to drive Sasuke back to his side (I think Itachi will have a last talk with his little brother too). And, by a mean that I can't know in details right now, Tobi will be able to revive the Jyubi, even though I think Naruto will retain the Kyubi in his belly. Maybe Tobi could replace the Kyubi by another source with the same huge amount of Chakra... but let's not tie ourselfs in this details.

Well, with Tobi attaining a level equal to the Rikudo Sennin himself, Uchiha Sasuke (Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan released), and Naruto (outmatching Kyubi's fullpower and loyal), will be the only persons able to defy him. So, as a warm up to the fight, I think Tobi will probably use Edo Tensei. I guess he would summon Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato and Jiraya for Naruto, and Danzou, Itachi and Shisui for Sasuke. And he would be able to revive Hiruzen and Minato, because I think someone as powerful as the Rikudo Sennin would be able to destroy or control the Shinigami.

God i hope not. Fighting edo's is lame. Any fight against them is finding a way to seal them. Now if Madara finds out how to resurect a normal version of them so any jutsus you use against them works yes but like this ...

[ibi]

i dont think madara trusts that it has no side effects, he understands that evrything has a consequence. but i was thinking
wat if kabuto has madaras body in dat coffin, and the previous rinnengan user before nagato used the "bring back to life" jutsu (cnt memba da name), to bring madara back, but his body was sealed, so he became a shadow of his former self..........or it cud just be his brother.

[Joe7133]

I don't think Madara needs to use Edo Tensei. The rinnengan has the power over the dead. That's how one of the Pain were able to bring forth life to the dead bodies.

If he did wish to bring someone back to life, it would only be his brother. Other then that, I doubt it.
