I was just thinking, why, if the Edo tensei brings you back at the peak of your Ninjahood (if that's a word) is the 3rd an old man? Was he lame when he was younger or something?

Just a thought? :L Anyone got an answer? :)

Search bar.

Edo tensei does not revive you back to your prime.

Because that's the state in which he was sealed.

The reincarnated keep the same appearance that they had at the time of their death. Madara was a special case, though.

I see, so from that we can assume Hashirama and Tobirama both died young? Or am I missing the point?

Who said the Edo Tensei restores you at your prime?

No, the ones that are reincarnated at their prime are special summons.

Impure World Reincarnation brings people back as they were at their death.

Yeah, but not that young.

Nah he was just lame like you said LOL. Nah but he was brought back at the time he was sealed, Madara was brought back young because his summon was special as Kabuto stated.

It revives you to when you died.

Orochimaru said he learned everything Kabuto learned when he absorbed his chakras back. So he should know how to modify Hiruzens body to his prime like Kabuto did with Madara.

Kishi is inconsistent with this. It does not revive u in ur prime. That's the reason why Oro uses 1st Hokage's cells to get them to there prime. For there appearance? Kishi is still inconsistent on this.
