Naruto 520
Naruto stands focused, drawing in positive and negative chakra into a Rasengan. The jutsu fails and Bee tells him his ratio was off. Naruto says he can't handle the ratio thing and instead learns more through experience. So he'll practice until he gets it, he then winces from the burns on his palms. Bee cautions that in human form he'll continue hurting his hands, but Naruto counters that he's not going to worry about trivial things. He re-enters Kyuubi chakra mode and asks Bee to tell him when he gets the correct ratio. Elsewhere Madara questions why Kabuto has yet to kill Anko, as she knows their location.
Kabuto explains that he needs to extract Orochimaru's curse seal chakra from her, as it'll increase his own powers. This helps Edo Tensei, which will also help Madara in his goals. Madara retorts that an ally today may be an enemy tomorrow, so he wants to know how Edo Tensei works, mainly why it requires a living sacrifice and how to stop it. He then warns that Kabuto should take the request seriously, or he'll run the risk of losing his life. Kabuto ponders that he doesn't want to face the Rinnegan but there's no need to panic. Kabuto relents but says he has no one to sacrifice for the jutsu. Madara assists, quickly swirling the bound forms of Fuu and Torune back into existence before him.
Kabuto recognizes Danzou's guards and Madara quickly grabs Torune and breaks his neck. He then directs Kabuto to sacrifice Fuu to resurrect Torune. Kabuto withdraws a scroll and begins his explanation of the jutsu. Taking some of Torune's blood, he explains how it acts like Kuchiyose, summoning the spirit from the "pure" world of the afterlife to the "impure" world of life. He needs enough of their DNA to retrieve then, if there's no DNA or if the soul is not in the afterlife, it can't be retrieved. That's why Orochimaru's attempt to revive Yondaime Hokage failed, as he was in the Shinigami's stomach, the same as Shodai, Nidaime and Sandaime now. That's why they can't be resurrected, and finding usable DNA for all the other ninjas was difficult as well, as he had a few failures.
Drawings out the jutsu ritual signs on the ground, he places Fuu in the center while Madara watches on intently. Ash begins to quickly engulf Fuu as he screams out, soon a confused resurrected Torune takes his place. Kabuto offers that it's the most powerful jutsu in the world, having been created by Nidaime Hokage and perfected by Orochimaru. Inserting a charm into Torune's head, he explains how it kills the personality but still allows them to use all their original jutsu. This thus allows Nagato to still use his Rinnegan and Itachi his Sharingan. Kabuto then offers that he could never find Shisui's body and he couldn't reach Jiraiya's body in the depths of the sea.
Though Danzou's right eye he got from Shisui and Rikudou Pain's weapons marked with Jiraiya's blood should still carry usable DNA. Madara warns him to not push his luck. Kabuto smiles and says he has enough pawns in any case. Madara offers that the jutsu is too good to be true, it must have some risk. Kabuto smiles and we cut to the Joint Shinobi Army. Ao yells that Muta's intel has identified the Zetsu army moving underground. The Kage direct them to contact Kintsuchi and use Doton to dig them up. Using special chakra transmitters, they quickly relay the information to the front and to Kintsuchi. Elsewhere Haku, Zabuza and the resurrected continue travelling through the forest.
Haku is alerted as ink birds carrying explosive tags fly in. They detonate and above on Sai's ink bird Saji is directed to alert the army. He lights a red flare and Kakashi and Gai spot the signal. He orders them to move out while in the forest Haku maintains a defensive ice shield. Zabuza offers that it wasn't necessary as he sees a comrade reform. He then ponders that Edo Tensei not only brings them back to life, but make them invincible; two things which don't sit well with him. Back at the Akatsuki base, Kabuto craftily answers that the great thing about Edo Tensei is that it proves no risk to the user at all!...
