Some of the resurrected people like Sai's brother were freed from the jutsu
although Kabuto told Tobi that the resurrected people can't be killed. This is
a pic of a conversation between Kabuto and Tobi.

Similarly, Sasori also disappeared after telling Kankuro to use his puppet
parents.

How can the souls be freed from the bodies even if the user who resurrected
them did not release them? And why didn't this happen when the third hokage
was fighting his predecessors during the chunin exams?

Why do the resurrected bodies disappear in the impure world resurrection jutsu?


The souls can be freed from the[ Impure World
Reincarnation](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Impure_World_Reincarnation)
if they are given closure. Experiencing a emotional change allows them to
break out of the jutsu and the soul can ascend.

Orochimaru
[stated](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Impure_World_Reincarnation)
that Hashirama Senju could break the summoning jutsu if he wanted. I'm not
sure why he chose not to during the fight with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He was not killed, but his soul was freed. the [Impure World
Reincarnation](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Impure_World_Reincarnation)
Summons the souls to a body and binds them to the world of the living. Hence,
they can not be killed by normal means. However, the Control is not perfect,
and can be dialed up and down, as shown when Kabuto removes all emotion from
the Third Raikage. He left most with their regular personalities for
psychological warfare, but forced the bodies on autopilot to kill. It could
however be broken by someone strong enough, Like Madara did and Hashirama
could do the 2nd time he was summoned (note the first time he was
significantly weaker and his personality was suppressed). If their Personality
is intact, they can also break it by experiencing emotional closure Which is
what happened to Sais brother. Its the same principal as a restless soul
finding peace and moving on, the new found peace/closure of the Summoned
breaks the binding and the soul is free to ascend back to the land of the
dead.
