If Pain was able to resurrect Kakashi along with the other dead Konohagakure
villagers, why did Hagoromo not reincarnate dead shinobis after the Fourth
Great Ninja War?

Why didn't Hagoromo reincarnate dead shinobis after the Fourth Great Ninja War?


To expand on @Ōtsutsuki's comment, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki _did not manifest
himself physically to Naruto since he is alread dead_. The scene where they
were talking _happened in Naruto's mind_ ( **Chapter 670** ). How he was able
to share his powers with Naruto and Sasuke if he's already dead was never
elaborated on in the manga, as far as I know. [![enter image description

The [Gedo Art of Rinne
Rebirth](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Outer_Path_%E2%80%94_Samsara_of_Heavenly_Life_Technique)
_requires the user's life in exchange for another's_. Hagoromo is already
dead, and he only manifested himself in Naruto's mind. It's quite hard to
classify someone in this state as 'alive'. With this, we can say that _you
cannot offer your life for someone else's if you have already lost it in the
first place_.
