Rinnegan Capabilities?

[shanee1650]

Looking back to chapters when Nagato revived the citizens of Konoha after Naruto managed to convince him to, I realized that there could be a serious problem with Obito's and Madara's Plan.

Although the Rinnegan does grant the user the ability to restore life, for one, a body is needed for the life/soul to inhabit. Since Madara died years and years ago, his body must have decayed, so there is no body for his soul to return to. Additionally, Nagato noted that he could revive people for only for a certain period of time after their deaths. Seeing as he was not able to revive those who he had killed before his invasion of Kohona, most notably Jiriaya, maybe the time limitation of the Rinnegan could also prove to be a problem for Obito truly resurrecting Madara.

Thoughts?

didn't everyone form konoha come back to life? most of them were completely mutilated, ravaged by 6 paths of pain, they got burned to death, eaten or mangled by animal summons or other stuff, they all came back to normal when they were ressurected so i guess PnJ isn't real and rinnegan simply ressurects you and gives you your body back too

There have been many other threads pressing upon this, an idea having mentioned that the Rinne Tensei involves bringing back those who have yet to pass on from the inbetween of life and death.

I'm certain Obito preserved Madara's body. This explains his "how did you get that?!" reaction when Kabuto unveiled Madara.
