The Konoha Elders would have sufficed

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

no because if saskue wanted to know how the village came to be and how the conflect over the uchiha and sinju began only hashi and tobirama are old enough to know such things

Itachi already showed him about the founding of the Konoha through genjutsu prior to them having their fight.

Dude, shut it. Everytime you're calling asspull, or plot jutsu.
How about you pay attention to a story for once?

I call it when it doesn't make sense. A random mask that turns you into the Shinigami? Really? Cutting open his stomach causes everything to come out? Really?

P.S. - I have paid attention to the story more than once, hence why I read it every week. Friggin idiot.

 

[Punk Hazard]

They probably just don't know everything.

 

[JDuzumaki92]

Kishimoto had to find a way to show us the Hashirama/Madara fight.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

Itachi already showed Sasuke the history of Konoha, from the warring clans of the Uchihas and Senjus to the foundation of the village up until the defection of Madara.

They are all currently S-Rank Criminals, and the elders of the village would never speak to them, they would attack on sight...

 

[Souji]

You people realize that reviving the old Hokages (while awesome), is just a way for Kishi to drag out his story? I for one didn't like it.

OT: Yes, the elders would have sufficed.

he didnt show him konohas founding because itachi wasnt there either how old do you think itachi is???
and saskue probably wants to know how the conflect began from the perspective of a sinju since he has already heard the uchiha side of the story?

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

They probably just don't know everything.

But neither does the previous Hokages, does Hashirama even know his grand daughter is Hokage now?

nice find man ***** i forgot about that.............. but still that didnt show the big details of why the sinju and uchiha hated each other it was kind of just like a short madera flashback

 

[kunlebade]

That was based on hear-say by Itachi. Itachi was not present then. So better ask those present right?

they obviously know enough so that saskue feels he needs to summon them back
and saskue inst going to ask hashi about his granddaughter so i think hell be fine

 

[halfmoonuzumaki]

Am I the only one who remembers that every member of that squad right now is a "Kill on sight S-Class Criminal"? How could they approach a current living member of any nation, without being identified and attacked on sight? This was also, which everybody is forgetting, Orochimaru's only way to get his jutsu back. Dont scream plot hole, when it very clearly isnt.

But that's not what matters. Sasuke wants the history of Konoha, who better than the Hokage to get it from?

 

[Itachi Edo]

1 it would require Sasuke to stop being emo and 2. if he spoke with them I could see him killing them and getting away with it since they aren't active ninja for the leaf.

 

[Uzumaki Sasuke]

Are you forgetting that Sasuke wants to kill them?
