If dead people are going to be revived from where their dead body is, then how come people came alive from the hidden leaf village crushed by 'Shinra Tensei'. Their bodies also should be crushed inside, and if you revive them, they'll die in suffocation. Your second&third references are about 'Edo Tensei' only, it has nothing todo with 'Rinne Tensei'.

<p>I just watched the recent episode (391) and just prior to Obito being taken over by Black Zetsu, he seemed to have acknowledged his sins and was planning on using Rinne Rebirth - but for whom? It certainly wasn't for Madara because Black Zetsu wouldn't have gotten involved. Jiraya was on his mind, so was it him? Or was he planning on reviving all of the ninja who died during the war?</p>

My guess is that he wanted to do the exact same thing that Pain made to revive the people on Konoha Village. It could not be Jiraya because when Pain revived everybody on the village, he specifically said that he cannot revive Jiraya because in order for the jutsu to work, the death must be recent.

@scubaFun there is no need for the death to be recent, otherwise Madara couldn't be revived, then you know the series has no purpose!

@krishna - Itachi's fan, it makes sense what you said, both on your comment and answer, I always thought that Pain was unable to revive Jiraya because of what I mentioned.
