It is specifically stated in Part 1 that releasing the seal drastically reduces the lifespan of the user each time. Tsunade is part Senju, so it makes sense that She could use it more frequently despite suffering the side effects. Sakura has no bloodlines, so why didn't she seem to suffer any side effects?

So seems like an obvious retcon really, but is there a canon explanation?

In part 1, Orichimaru summons 3 Hokage’s to fight Hiruzen: 1st, 2nd, and 4th.

He panics at the site of the 4th and goes out of his way to stop the 4th from being summoned at the cost of letting 1st and 2nd get summoned (which is funny considering the boost Hashirama got in Shippuden, but that’s not what I wanted to discuss)

We know from Shippuden that Minato was sealed in the shinigami belly since he used the reaper death seal (like Hiruzen) on half of the ninetails. This means that much like Orichimaru’s arms until the war arc, there was no way to summon him as his soul wasn’t in the afterlife.

Which means Orichimaru couldn’t summon him in part 1. Obviously this is a retcon, Kishimoto didn’t intend for Minato to be in shinigami jail during that fight… it does make me wonder what the in-universe explanation is though?

Did Orichimaru know that he couldn’t summon the 4th? Was it a bluff? Did Hiruzen do shit to stop the summoning since it wasn’t going to go off anyways?

Kisame died thinking Itachi was a cold blooded psychopath who murdered his entire clan just to test himself.

Kisame himself killed his comerades but he always thought Itachi was even worse than him.

Do you think Kisame should have known Itachi wasn't who he thought he was?

Honestly, would anyone here be friends from someone from this clan? It doesn't matter if they are a civilian or a shinobi. I am not sure if this question has been asked before, but I am curious.

No spoilers please!!

Because if I recall…I saw Kakashi about to lift his headband up to reveal his sharingan…did Kakashi believe he was strong enough to put 80k shinobi under genjutsu??? Or was he just going to put the few that were arguing under it???

It’s taken 2 months of on and off work so far

Itachi didn’t have crack when he fought Naruto and bee but did when he met sasuke Madara had them from the beginning but lost them when he undid edo tensei but got them back when he met up with obito
