Hey guys

A friend of mine asked me this and I couldn't give him any answer to it.
So I bet this has been asked before but I can't find anything to it.
So:

We all asumed, that Edo Tensei brings you back in your strongest state.

So, Madara died with 1 Eye and came back with his Rinnegans.
And Itachi with his eyes, too.
Also did Madara come back in a younger state.
But why did Nagato have white hair when he came back ?
I mean, this was the state right before his death and he should have been
revived in a much younger state, or am I wrong here ?

Prime is the strongest period of your life, not just when you are young. Nagato's white hair and.crippled legs just happened to be when he was strongest, that was his prime.

Edo brings you back how you were when you died. Kabuto said he brought Madara back special.

Sigh, search bar no jutsu or research can answer this. ET brings you back at the time of your death. Since Itachi's eyes were snatched out AFTER his death, it doesn't count. Since Nagato had white hair BEFORE his death it counts. Follow me? Then it was stated Kabuto modified Madara beyond his prime. /Thread.

kabuto said when he was takling to madara that he brought him back to a point beyond his prime meaning stronger than his prime

he also said that his edo tensei was a special one ...... as for them having there eyes when they are brought back it is because it is part of there DNA

Kabuto enhanced Madara via unknown means. He did not do this to other edod people. hence why Nagato has white hair.

I'm fairly certain that Edo Tensai brings back the person at the point that the DNA was taken from the person. This means that if Kabuto got a sample of a person's DNA from a period before that person died, that person would be younger and in a different condition than when he/she died. Think about it.

1. Deidara didn't leave an actual body behind. He disintegrated himself in his fight with Sasuke. However, when he was brought back, he had both arms, like from when he originally fought Gaara.

2. Itachi had both of his eyes and could still see, even though by the time he died, he was pretty much blind.

3. Most of the other members of Akatsuki were brought back in a condition better than they were when they died. It is likely that Orochimaru had collected their DNA at some point before he left the group. This makes sense, since the only one that seems to have been brought back in a relatively poor state was Negato.

@all: Thank you all for the many answers. I didn't know that Kabuto said he modified him, or at least I forgot it.
I got it now ^^
