In Orochimarus's fight with the third, he resurrected 3 coffins, of which the 3rd coffin was dispelled by the Hokage. Any theories on who the 3rd coffin could have contained/ Or was it probably the 4th Hokage??

yes, da 3rd coffin contained da 4th hokage....................but people think dat his not ded..................

it contained the 4th hokage. They said so. Oro said so.

the fourth is with the death god so it could not have been him so mayby a kazekage
he did kill one kazekage so who knows.

I'm almost sure it was the 4th, but i'll go check it so i can be sure.


They didn't say anything about the person who was in the 3rd coffin.
But i do know who it was. Noone! the writer must have decided to stop the 3rd coffin cause he didn't know who to put in it ^^'
Or he just decided to stop the third coffin, and he didn't care who was in there.

hmmmmm................dats quite intersting as well..................or mayb his not ded.............

well, not showing the 4:th and giving him this mysterious story might eithe rbe a way to bring him back as the akatsuki leader or just to save the story for another time. maby he really is narutos dad and they wanna show that later.
but i do think orochimaru was intending on bringing him out

if it was the fourth why not onley bring him out, he was the most powerful of the hokages so why waste time to summon the weakest of the hokages. Just a thought.

I wondered about the 3rd coffin too, but after looking at the spoilers, i dont think it was the 4th.
Also the kage of the sand was killed by oro pretty easily. He probably was weak, but he may have been in the 3rd coffin.

that was what i was thinking to that they didn't show the 3rd coffin because the 4th might not be dead yet..........but didn't the 3rd prevent the 3rd coffin because he didn't want to fight the 4th.

oro did want the 3rd coffin to be let out i believe.

it would be so cool if they should dead 4th in action

perhaps oro thought he was dead and trd to summon him
of course oro used to be in the anketsu so he should know if hes alive or not

i think that it is was probally the 4th but it could have been the kazakage that orochimaru killed him

Even if the 4th is with the Death God Rochi (my nickname from him) put in other peoples souls in the body's but they somehow were almost the same as the originals but not quite there.

and I have another interesting question about the 4th but i'll make a new topic about it. Please look for it and comment

Now if the 4th is the leader of the akatsuki then Oro should of known that he cant summon the 4th coz he's still alive...So either Oro didn't know who the leader of the akatsuki was,someone else was in the coffin or the 4th is dead.

The 4th is not the leader of the akastuki. He died he gave his life to save the leaf village. Although i do wan't to know who is the person that was in the 3rd coffen.

well there is the intro to the series that suports that. but there is also some things that support the theory that he infact is the akatsuki leader:
he was late for the battle with kyuubi and the akatsuki leader knows how to take ones own chackra and put it into some one els and have them take the form of himself or whoever he wants the person in question to resimble.
that could have ben the case and he sacrificed some one els and left to fight another day.
still this is only atheory that some kling to. ill just have to wait and see.

The third cofifn contained

it was the forth from what i believe i would have to watch the episode again to find out

Wrong and Wrong how many times i have been saying this the 4th is died.He gave his life to the death god.Oh one more thing nightnija stick with the topic.If we all want to find out whose is the akustuki leader then go to my topic.

Thats just it, the difference is sartobi died almost instantly when doing the Death God thing but the 4th some how had time to transfer it in to naruto you dont find that the least bit weird

well maybe the 3rd knew all along that the 4th is not dead and that he is trying to hide the truth (to protect the 4th's image as a konoha hokage turning into an evil akatsuki leader or to protect naruto if he is the 4th or the 4th's incarnation). from what i remembered, he said 'I must stop the third coffin from coming out'. So what's the big deal on letting the first 2 coming out and not the 3rd coffin? Come to think of it...

there are things pointing towards him being alive. but the same things points at him being dead. he was a super powerfull shinobi. he might have ben more afraid of the 4:th then the rest and concentrated his powers on that coffin.
but i believe hes alive. if he was dead then they would probably have told us a lot more about him. i think theyr saving him as a suprise for later episodes

I personally think it is kind of foolish to think that the 4th is the atasuki leader, i mean dont get me wrong he could very well be, but it just doesnt seem likely, that would actually be a horrible twist, on the story if they did (IMO)

(Sanadan im sure glad were big Geeks together lol)
because you bring up a great point if he was really dead there already woulda been more about him, or because he is dead they will just have some big story about him, later.

Yamato just hands down seems like the most logical answer. even Jiraya and Tsunade said he would be the only one who could contain the 4tail naruto (which he couldnt) but regardless that is sort of a show of power in their statements

it was the 4th hokage and he is considered the greatest hokage and so the 3rd dispeled it.

dont be so shure that it was him in the las coffin. you cant bring back souls from the deathgod. can you?

quick question how could it contain the fourth hokage because the technique uses a forbidden jutsu to attach the souls of the dead to the sacrifices but if what the third said about the technique the fourth used is true then his soul is locked inside of the death god so how could that technique use him?

good point INNERDEBTS i belive it was another person in it maybe some powerful bad A$#%^ who wants to kill the 3rd and if it was the 4th i belive that its a big plot hole even if it wasnt the 4th it might be a plot hole because who was in the coffin? they dont have anything on that

NN

Good point..That gives us more of a reason to think it wasn't the 4th in the 3rd coffin.But I 'm sure Oro will bring up the 3rd coffin later as he cant use the others anymore.
