Like seriously, how does he go from killing the 3rd to being allowed back in the village in the Boruto movie? If it weren't for him summoning the Edo Hokages the Juubi would have killed everyone. He, like Sasuke and Kabuto, helped save the world. Besides he clearly stopped being evil. Pretty common sense. I wonder the same thing about what Sarutobii2 said, how could Orochimaru (including Sasuke and Kabuto) get let off the hook so easily despite all the horrific crimes they committed. All three joined the Akatsuki, defected from Konoha and planned to destroy it, and killed anyone who stood in their way. Orochimaru killed thousands of people for his experiments, killed the Third Hokage, caused the Invasion of Konoha, and caused many other chaos to the other nations, and yet his only effort in participating in stopping the war was enough that he was allowed to remain free on the condition he stopped his human experiments and allowed his son to move to the village. Sasuke tried to kill his Team 7 comrades many times and was willing to let his Team Taka comrades die, killed the Sixth Hokage Candidate, planned to kill the rest of the Kage, and wanted to start a revolution, and yet he was pardoned for his service in the war, allowed to return to Konoha, and had a family with Sakura despite how badly he used to treat her (including three attempts on her life) and she easily forgave him. Kabuto also killed dozens of people for experiments, joined forces with Obito to start the war, and used the Reanimation Jutsu which caused the death of thousands of shinobi, and yet him saving Sasuke from dying and simply admitting his mistakes was enough that he was allowed to return to Konoha and take ownership of the village's orphanage.
