Who's inside the third coffin that Orochimaru tried to summon?


In the battle between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru during the Chunin Exams,
(on the rooftop where the Sound Four sealed them in a barrier) Orochimaru
summoned the two previous Kages. He also tried summoning another coffin but
Hiruzen successfully stopped it.

Who was inside that third coffin? It can't be the Fourth Hokage right? Because
that time, he was still under the Shiki Fuujin Seal.




As can be seen on this image, it was indeed the 4th Hokage that Orochimaru
tried to summon.

The kanji that appears in that coffin is
[四](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%9B%9B#Japanese), which is the kanji for
4.

However, unlike you said in your question, **Hiruzen did not stop** this
coffin. It was the fact that the 4th Hokage was sealed with the **Shiki Fuujin
that prevented that summoning**.
