Witnesses that see the jutsu react oddly (Temari blushes, Pakkun questions if it's really a jutsu, and Gamakichi shows a look of disappointment), while those who have used or experienced the jutsu show great fear in it being used on them. This indicates that the appearance of the third coffin was indeed a plot hole, becoming another incongruity associated with the Reaper Death Seal and its workings.Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: One Thousand Years of DeathĪ very simple technique with an overly dramatic name, One Thousand Years of Death is a little more than inserting one's index and middle fingers (similar to the Tiger hand sign) into the opponent's butt, causing constipation, pain and/or embarrassment. Behind their soul appears the Shinigami God, which restrains their soul with its hair. However, this notion is incongruous with the workings of the Reanimation technique as the caster can’t reanimate a shinobi directly in battle, rather one has to find a vessel first and devise the proper set up for resurrecting a soul. Hand Seals: Serpent, Boar, Ram, Hare, Dog, Rat, Bird, Horse, Serpent, Clap Hands Acquisition After the hand seals are performed, the user's soul is partly separated from their body and suspended behind them. Many fans have pointed out that the reanimation failed due to Minato’s soul being sealed and not because of Hiruzen’s attempts to bar the coffin from being summoned. However, this is incongruous with the story since Minato’s soul was stuck inside the Shinigami’s stomach, meaning even the appearance of a coffin is discrepant with the entire concept. This is backed by the fact that the coffin had the kanji for ‘Four’ etched on to it, indicating it was indeed the Fourth Hokage.

Doing so would release the souls from the Shinigami’s stomach, in-turn killing the mask wearer.

This forced Kishimoto to introduce a new concept into the series in the form of the Shinigami Mask. Simply reanimating each Hokage directly would have become a major plot hole for the series, as it would have negated the entire narrative of the Reaper Death Seal entirely.
