Did Orichimaru use the real bodies of the First and Second Hokage against the Third on the rooftop?


Orochimaru used the bodies of
[Zaku](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Zaku_Abumi) and
[Kin](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Kin_Tsuchi) to summon the Hokage.  
The jutsu basically recreates the body of the reincarnated person at the time
of their death using the body of the sacrifice.
