What happened to the first kages?

[paratise]

We did not see any shodaimes in this war from other villages; isn't it weird that none of the first generation of kages get revieved with edo tensei? Is something happened to them related to Hashirama and Madara? They were from their generation, they probably had encounters...But we have seen kages from second, third and forth genereation but not a single first, did i miss something? They can not be just random fodders, there must be a reason why absolutely none of them get revieved...

 

[SoulKiller]

There just to OP to be shown

 

[Ultimate Beast]

No traces left

 

[Omnipotent]

Not enough DNA to revive them.

 

[Liquid Snake]

yea that is weird

 

[Jphu8414]

Maybe it was too hard for Kabuto to get their DNA?
He did state in the beginning that there were a lot of failures with his edo tensei tests

 

[Sensational]

Probably because they died forever ago, Hashi and tobirama probably only got revived because there cells everywhere.

 

[Sage OfThe 6 Paths]

good point

And Madara isn't?!

 

[Scooby Doo]

Probably Kabuto couldn't get their DNA. (Anyways in my fanfic the first kages have an important role and fights)

 

[Cambria]

Isn't it super obvious.....? Aside from that contradicting everything that's been said about Edo Tense I, it would be impossible to bring back EVERY Kage. This series already has an enormous list of characters, all of whom need a back story, personality, etc. It would be absolutely impossible. They're stretching it enough as it is.

Probably because they died forever ago, Hashi and tobirama probably only got revived because there cells everywhere.

They got revieved in part 1, and Tobirama's cells were not everywhere; they should not be died more than 80 years ago, and people leave traces even after hundreds of years after their death.

 

[Kages]

Their DNA is long gone

 

[yep]

Kishi keeps them in reserve

 

[God Itachi]

their DNA is dust now

Kishi keeps them in reserve

I hope we get to see what happened to them in this arc.
