Why does noone release the contract of edo tensei

[Meowazziel]

Why doesnt any of the kages release the contract of edo tensei?
Hashirama is free, so he could do it easily (not that it would change much, seeing he cant be controlled anyway).
Tobirama obviously knows the seals, yet doesnt release himself.
Hiruzen, having been a student of Tobirama, doesnt release himself either.

Is Oro's control on the latter two so great, that they are allowed to fight, but not allowed to make the seals to free themselfs?

What do you think?
It would be weird if Madara can release the contract of edo tensei and if Tobirama cannot.

Maybe Hiruzen just doesn't know it. Orochimaru has control over Hiruzen and Tobirama, so they wouldn't be able to. Hashirama probably doesn't know it.

Also, there'd be no point, since I doubt they want to stay Edo even if Orochimaru released the jutsu.

@bold- I believe this is the case. It sounds strange but I think Orochimaru is strictly preventing the two from using the seals but letting them doing practically anything else. But it wouldn't serve any purpose for Hashirama to use it being that he's too strong anyways.

 

[Punk Hazard]

If Tobirama or Hiruzen tried, Oro's control automatically kicks in and stops them, I believe.

 

[sn0wy]

i believe otherwise........ Those aren't evil. They are good. They are taking oro for his word that he will let them fight. They have no reason to not want to be an edo right now. They are trying to save the world

hashirama already freed himself of control, tobirama tried but failed because oro is using hashirama's dna to bind them so nobody else can break free including hiruzen and minato all 3 of them are binded still...madara wasnt being bound by hashirama's dna and i think it wouldnt matter anyway since he has hashirama dna as well he broke free once edo tensei was already being released, but since tobirama, minato or hiruzen are stronger than hashirama than they cant break free..and u said its weird for madara to break free and not tobirama, i explained why but i kind of felt like that was a jab at madara and putting tobirama at his levels when they are worlds apart and hiruzen was trained by both tobirama and hashirama, and it wouldnt be a difference if they were free or not since oro is letting them act on their own

Maybe Hiruzen just doesn't know it. Orochimaru has control over Hiruzen and Tobirama, so they wouldn't be able to. Hashirama probably doesn't know it.

hiruzen was taught by tobirama and hashirama, and is the 3rd man called God Of Shinobi but that means nothing in this debate but what does is his other title which is The Professor for knowing all jutsu within konoha and edo tensei isnt a kekkei so hiruzen most certainly knows that jutsu and hiruzen is a master in all forms of shinobi combat the problem is is none of them can break free becuse oro is using hahsirama's dna to bind them only hashirama can break free and has done so

 

[Floydical]

Because Oro is letting them do as they please right now. They are fighting at 100% and once they win there will be no point in continuing to exist as edos. Since they can fight at full potential now anyway, they might as well stay under Oro's master control and let him release them after all is said and done.

 

[Everztar]

They didnt need to break free cuz orochimaru is cooperating

tobirama most likely does not know the seals to release himself even though he invented the jutsu.

hashirama most likely does not no the seals but since he cant be controlled hes still bound to edo.

 

[Bansho Tenin]

maybe they dont want to be edo tensei zombies forever?

 

[Seventh Sama]

Because Plot is preventing the kages to do that.

 

[eyesofthekyuubi44]

We are assuming Tobirama can release himself just because he invented the jutsu. It could have very well been Madara who invented the way to negate Edo Tensei.

But it is also likely Orochimaru is binding Tobirama in order to not break free. Once the war is over, Orochimaru would have to also deal with Tobirama, which would make things more difficult.

Basically this. Hashirama can do whatever he wants as he's too strong to be under control of Oro.

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

orochimaru hasnt released it. if it worked that way, the war would go:
kabuto edoes madara to blackmail tobi
madara releases contract
edo madara forces tobi to rinne tensei him.
madara captures bee and naruto
madara revives juubi
madara becomes juubi jinchuriki
juubimadara(it works better as juubito) shows up at the 5 kage conference and kills them all.
madara wins.

 

[rollin]

You release the contract when the user of the edo tensei releases the Jutsu
That's why madara waited for kabuto to release it
