Where are the reanimated four hokages?


Rikudou Sennin or The Sage of Six Paths released the edo tensei or reanimation
justsu cast upon them by orochimaru. There was an emotional scene between
Naruto and Minato , the fourth hokage. where the release is evident. Watch
episode 474 and 475 .

I'm not quite sure which instance you are talking about. If it is the one
during the 4th shinobi war then [Balance Breaker's
answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/40564/2516) would be right, but if
you are talking about part one when Orochimaru infiltrates the chunin exam
finals, then I can help.

Hiruzen Sarutobi (3rd Hokage) used shadow clones and the reaper death seal to
seal the 1st and 2nd Hokage away right before using his own body and the
reaper death seal to seal Orochimaru's arms. Later, in the 4th shinobi war,
someone (not sure who) took the Shinigami mask from the Uzumaki clans storage
temple which when worn allows the wearer to perform the "reaper death seal:
release" and took the souls of the Hokages back out of the reaper.

Minato Namekaze (4th Hokage) couldn't be reanimated by Orochimaru the first
time because he already used the reaper death seal to seal himself and half of
the nine tails chakra away.
