I know, that the Samsara of Heavenly Life is able to resurrect either all the
individuals recently killed, or a single person from long ago. I know also,
that this jutsu it's different from the Edo Tensei, since "It seems that this
technique does not need the original body for the owner to be brought back, as
Madara's original plan consisted of Obito reviving him at a time where the
original body would have decomposed."

So the question is: does this technique have a weakness, or a time limit,
after which you can't use it, or it's flawless?..If that's the case, could a
Rinnegan user revive e.g. The Sage Of The Six Path?

What is the limit for the Rinne Tensei?


Technically speaking, yes, the Sage of the Six Paths could be revived using
this technique.

But it seems to take a huge amount of chakra and be close to impossible to
revive people without giving up your own life.
