The 3rd Coffin is Madara.

Check this out first:

It seems Hiruzen somehow stopped the 3rd Coffin from resurrecting, NOT THE SHINIGAMI SEAL ON MINATO!
Despite what Kabuto said, he doesnt make sense, since what Hiruzen said here.

Anyway read my thread too.

http://www.narutobase.net/forums/sho...d.php?t=261479

So that having said, says Orochimaru gave Madara Mokuton, how old is Yamato? Old enough to live during the Kyuubi Attack. During that time its suppose that Yamato as a kid got his Mokuton from an experiment. He was merely a prototype for what Orochimaru had in plan for Madara.

So now Madara is revived by Kabuto(Or Orochimaru) again and it successfully worked. But what's odd is that Orochimaru doesnt give a damn. What's he up to? (Epic cliffhanger)

As for Kabuto's chat with Obito, he was lying. If he told Obito "So yes he resurrected Madara", believe me, Obito would have killed Kabuto by seeing where he was going with this.

So he used Yondaime Hokage as a decoy.

Read this too please:

You know that to do Edo Tensei you need to perform a ritual beforehand right? You need a living vessel and the DNA of the person you wish to bring back. Now imagine this scenario:

Orochimaru uses a living victim and sacrifices him, he calls on the DNA of Minato. Oddly enough Minato doesn't come back (Well because of the Shinigami Seal). Minato is then not revived.

So, after that how it possible for the 3rd Coffin to be Minato if the ritual wouldn't work beforehand? See what I mean. Kabuto was lying.

Note:

I see some people didnt read my given link to my theory. Read it please. And you will see Orochimaru gave Madara Mokuton, not Obito or the Hashirama DNA.

WOW I never tought that xD.

[Ghost of Uchiha]

u maybe right

[Prime Rib]

Its already been confirmed that minato was the 3rd coffin, and kabuto already admitted and said that he and oro didnt no that being sealed in the reaper you cant be brought back as a edo. waste of thread close it thanks

[SoulKiller]

Hmmm interesting maybe true

Dude, your sig..... dafuq

[natssuu]

I've said this a million times now, there's a plot hole. In part one, Kishi made it look like Hiruzen stopped it and it's confirmed that the ritual is necessary for the jutsu to work, so basically Minato must have been revived earlier. Though that's not the case, because Kishi came up with the great idea that sealed shinobi cannot be revived, and that's mentioned here:

[YowYan]

well thought out

But Kabuto wasnt at the fight was he? Orochimaru is a master of manipulating, using even his most loyal Kabuto to do all his work, and even Sasuke to bring him back.

But we will see. Its just too stupid to bring back Madara with conscious and let him ruin your plans, then you are considered the worst villain in anime/manga history.

[SoulKiller]

kinda tired of the sig in trying to make so puted this one xD hope u liked it

You cant argue facts with assumptions, why do you think theres sealing teams in the allied shinobi war? its to seal edos so they can not be used again to be brought back as a edo.

[UchihaKira]

I was pretty sure its been confirmed Minato was the 3rd coffin? Hiruzen didn't do shit it failed on its own. If ninja stars could stop edo summon the war would be very short lolol.

Orochimaru's goal has nothing to do with Madara, and the moment he was resurrected he said that he's still interested in Sasuke's body. It might have been Orochimaru's plan to revive Madara, but Kabuto was the one who made a mistake and gave him free will.

['Nāpalm]

Kabuto already said that Oro tried to bring back Yondaime Hokage during the invasion of konoha.... so your theory is invalid and why the f would Kabuto lie??? That is completely irrelevant to the plot and Kabuto had already revealed that he had brought back Madara.... you have no evidence what so ever and this is just invalid

If that's true answer this questions.

Why did he give Madara Mokuton?

Why did Orochimaru join Akatsuki?

Why did Kabuto call himself "Closer to Rikudou Sennin" knowing that Madara is on the battlefield?

Orochimaru is a master of deception, even deceiving fellow manga readers apparently.

[Konohas Silent Assassin]

fail thread,

doesn't matter if kabuto was at the fight or not, kabuto said so and kishi wouldn't put anything in the manga that didn't mean anything.
you suck, manga wins again over people who mistranslate it like the loser you are

[TheHokage]

It's an interesting thought but it's unlikely.

[Valen]

First, Second, Fourth

Obvious Kabuto lied there -_- Don't you think saying Madara was the 3rd Coffin would raise alertness to Obito?

[natssuu]

So the ''Fourth'' that was written in the coffin was just to trick Hiruzen? o_o

[Megatolium]

Anyway, if Kishimoto is following this path. I'll just revive this thread I bring back your shame :P

['Nāpalm]

Kabuto already revealed to Obito that he had brought back Madara with the 6 coffin of his edo tensies ~_~

also Madara already had Mokuto when he got Hashirama's cells implanted in him... are you trying to like degrade Madara or something?

[Megatolium]

So the ''Fourth'' that was written in the coffin was just to trick Hiruzen? o_o

It stated "Third" not "Fourth"

[Titania Erza]

If that's true answer this questions.

Why did he give Madara Mokuton?

Why did Orochimaru join Akatsuki?

Why did Kabuto call himself "Closer to Rikudou Sennin" knowing that Madara is on the battlefield?

Orochimaru is a master of deception, even deceiving fellow manga readers apparently.

1: Madara already had mokuton when he inserted the first cells into his body, the evidence are the zetsu.
2: Hiruzen threw him out of Konoha after it was revealed how Oro experimented on people. He had nowhere to go and probable joined Akatsuki
3: The rinnegan was on his side, which is one of the rikudo sennin's trademarks.

It stated "Third" not "Fourth"

It has "fourth" written on it in kanji.
