This question might be easy to answer and its just something I missed in the manga but why didn't Kabuto bring Konan back? He brought back all of the other akatsuki members that were possible to bring back. Konan is a very skilled ninja and would have helped out in many cases. Did she not have dna cause she was paper or what? Also a thread might have already been made about this but shouldn't Dedeira's dna have been destroyed. I mean that was a pretty massive explosion that destroyed a massive range and should have virtually been turned to nothing. I would just like to see what you guys think about this. Also who else in your opinion should have Kabuto brought back. I think he should have brought back Yahiko so we could have seen his powers.

because he stopped searching by the time she died , like how he didn't bring kisama
and she might not even be worth searching for her DNA

Wouldnt her dna be easy to find though compared to some of the other people he found. Also i thought Kisame's dna was lost when his sharks ate him

but the war already declared he stopped his DNA search at that time
and i'm sure one's dna could be found in other ways other than the corps
because how could orochimaru find the 1st's dna if the villages make sure that no one can have access to the body's of their died ninja

Right (outside the kisame part)
but the war already declared he stopped his DNA search at that time
and i'm sure one's dna could be found in other ways other than the corps
because how could orochimaru find the 1st's dna if the villages make sure that no one can have access to the body's of their died ninja
It can be found by other means (via his statement about j-man's dna on pain's weapons and shishu's eye from danzo)



On topic: she was weak she had one big move that took along time to set up (600 billion paper tags)

1.) Apologies if I missed someone else stating this reason... Not to mention, one might think that she would've been another Chiyo, Asuma,..., Hanzou-like failure who didn't want to fight for Kabuto and by proxy Tobi; thus, she would sit there doing everything she could to reveal her jutsu and how to defeat herself as well as impeding her own moves making herself as ineffective as possible. It seems like a waste of his resources unless he could really get her to fight full out. Granted she would've been better at the beginning as part of the ambush squad with Sasori and Deidara, but she was quite effective in the assault and recon on Konoha, so she's fairly dynamic when she wants to be. Desire being the key.

2.) As well, other people have made a good point that Kabuto may have had his pieces set since we don't see a powerful fighter of Akatsuki like Kisame whose DNA ought to be all over the place, including his notes sent with his blood and saliva on them. Thus, it could simply be a timing issue.

3.) Really, it seems like Kabuto could've brought more back but didn't, and I think Kishi simply had a limit on how many to bring back, and she had a recent appearance in the manga as did Kisame while alive, so there was no need to bring them right back. Edo Tensei was sort a history, from short-term at the beginning to long-term at the end, now going all the way back to Madara. Ironically, it seemed like each generation going backwards seemed to surpass the newer one, but that may have been the ninja chosen and Kabuto's mastery of Edo Tensei, along with gaining more of Orochimaru's chakra, and by proxy his power.

Peace

Kabuto doesn't know where she is.

If we the readers don't even know where she is, then how would he?

I agree with all the previous posts but not this one because he found the dna of much harder people to find such as Madera. Also its like saying we the readers don't know exactly where dedeira died but he still managed to find him.

Well, we don't really know where any of the bodies were buried at were we? We had no idea where Madara was. Tobi, who had an intimate knowledge of the ninja world was shocked that Kabuto was able to resurrect Madara, having found his corpse.

why would he need konan, if you notice everyone he brought back were elite shinobi

konan isn't
Why is everyone saying that Konan was not powerful? The only 2 fights we saw her in were the Jiraiya and Tobi fight and she lost to Jiraiya only due to him knowing her weakness because he taught her. Also in the fight with Tobi she is the one that has pushed him to his most desperate more so than even Minato. He was forced to use the most powerful Sharingan move there is Izanagi and he had to lose eye sight in one of his eyes. Had she known of Izanagi Tobi may not be alive. She was also helpful when Pain attacked Konoha searching for Naruto. So in my mind she is truly very powerful and underrated.
