The Konoha Elders would have sufficed

[halfmoonuzumaki]

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

[Ausar]

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.

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

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 Derp Obito]

They probably just don't know everything.

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

[immortal sage]

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.

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?
