LegionZero wrote: Kabuto doesnt necissarily control them like puppets. He give them a goal and how fulfill that goal is generally up to them. Yup. Three modes of control: Near-complete freedom (which left them vulnerable to breaking their own Edo Tensei), guided (given a goal but execute in a pre-programmed way) or puppeteering (Kabuto takes direct control).
