1. Back then, the fourth generation stood on Bunta’s body to seal the Nine Tails. Bunta should know very well whether the fourth generation was dead or not. When Naruto practiced his psychic technique to summon Bunta, as soon as Bunta came out, he directly cursed Jiraiya without mentioning the fourth generation at all. Assuming that the Yondaime was not dead, Bunta should have asked who summoned me instead of scolding Jiraiya directly. From this point of view, the fourth generation is indeed dead and did not become the leader of "Akatsuki" as some people thought.
2. In the battle between Orochimaru and the 3rd generation, Orochimaru used the super S-level ninjutsu: Urushi Reincarnation! First, he summoned the 1st generation and 2nd generation, and then the 4th generation’s coffin was also summoned. Seeing that three Hokage-level people were about to resurrect and fight against the third generation, the third generation immediately realized that it would be in danger if the fourth generation came out of Konoha again, so he immediately stepped back when the fourth generation's coffin came out. Could Orochimaru really be so sweaty that he even calls out a coffin without a body? So the fourth generation is indeed dead. I hope everyone will not always bring the dead to life.
3. Orochimaru killed the 4th Kazekage and came to Konoha. The coffin only said 4, not the 4th Hokage. Why didn't AB let Orochi open the fourth? The reason may be to create suspense... to pave the way for the appearance of the fourth generation in the future. Let's assume that if the fourth generation died, why was the fourth generation's body not found at that time? (Been eaten by Nine Tails?) This is also one of the reasons why the fourth generation is immortal.
4. The reincarnation of the dirty soil was when Orochimaru first killed his subordinates, then covered them with a layer of soil to make the corpse look like the one he wanted to summon, and then summoned the soul of the deceased. At that time, I don’t know if you have seen it carefully when the third generation was fighting. Orochimaru stuffed shurikens and talismans into the body of "Hokage", and then summoned the soul, but the fourth generation's soul was not summoned (because the third generation stopped it), although There is the "corpse" of the fourth generation, but it does not mean that the fourth generation is dead. After all, Orochimaru has not summoned his soul back, and there is no definite evidence to prove that he is dead. Therefore, this may also be a small "trap" given to us by Master AB to make us mistakenly think that the fourth generation is dead.
In addition, the corpse seal requires the soul to be dedicated to the god of death, so why did Orochimaru summon the Fourth Hokage's coffin? The third generation can use the corpse seal, and the third generation should know the inside story. The third generation can stop Orochimaru. Pill, indicating that the fourth generation's soul was not swallowed by the god of death. Maybe the fourth generation was not in the coffin, or the fourth generation did not die from the corpse seal.
Judging from the latest situation, the fourth generation is indeed dead, because when Naruto was about to unlock the final seal of the Nine-Tails, the fourth generation appeared. This is the last chakra of the fourth generation. The fourth generation At that time, he had considered sealing the Kyuubi. At the last moment, the Fourth Generation said that he was very happy to see his son grow up so much. This was also the last time he would contribute to Konoha and other words. It can be known that the Fourth Generation was indeed dead. .
