So how exactly did Madara know he was going to be revived, specifically by Kabuto

[eliteplague]

How was he able to think that far ahead?

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

False. His real name is Sousuke Aizen and he foresaw this before any of the plot characters were born. Duh...

 

[Akx19]

How was he able to think that far ahead?

He had absolutely no idea Kabuto would revive him. He gambled everything on Nagato + Obito. Even when he was revived by Edo Tensei he thought it was Nagato who revived him.

 

[The Jinchuuriki]

How was he able to think that far ahead?

He didn't know he was going to be revived by Kabuto or by Edo Tensei, he was expecting to be revived by Nagato with his Rinne Tensei jutsu.

 

[Silent Zetsu]

He was expecting Nagato to revive him in the Naruto vs Pain arc but instead he luckily found other means of revival (kabuto).

 

[KGB Kakuzu]

He didn't know who used the Edo Tensei until Kabuto introduced himself by taking control over Muu's body

 

[-Blade-]

He said Nagato was to revive him with Rinne Tensai

If Nagato revived Madara, would Madara have his old body, or younger body? Furthermore, Nagato's ability to revive the dead requires for the body to be in tact i believe, as shown when he revived the leaf shinobi. Lastly he wasn't able to revive Jiraya because so much time has passed, so how was Nagato planning on reviving someone like Madara who passed so long ago? So did Madara really know what was up after the gamble he did with Obito and Nagato?

 

[Colonel Armstrong]

man...people make threads like this without reading properly.....and nothing happens to em.....hmmm

 

[History]

what everybody else said

 

[Vinnie]

He expected Nagato to do it but he turned traitor.

 

[Scooby Doo]

He just got lucky...

Jiraiya's body was at the bottom of the ocean, that's why. He'd be revived just to die from drowning

Isn't it proven that you cannot revive someone if too much time has passed?

 

[Floydical]

Isn't it proven that you cannot revive someone if too much time has passed?

But that fact is only based on one case, that being Nagato. Nagato had a limited chakra supply, especially at the end of his battle with Naruto where he was exhausted. If Nagato was at full strength, he likely could manage more. Not to mention, if Nagato became the 10 tails Jin and harnessed all that power at once, he could theoretically revive anyone and possibly restore their body to new, using hell realm.

nagato didn't have enough chakra to revive jiraiya
he already used up a lot of chakra when he used the chibaku tensei

 

[Sasuke082594]

Soit was never stated that time passed was ever an issue?

 

[kcy0]

I wonder how Kabuto managed to get Madara's dna.

 

[Floydical]

I just explained that it is in fact an issue. Nagato directly stated that too much time had passed for him to revive Jiraya, fact. But that was based solely on Nagato's limited chakra supply at the time.

What I am saying is despite what Nagato said, it is theoretically possible that Madara could still have been revived that way, but it might have required the full chakra of the 10 tails to do so.
