Right, I get that possibility. However, what difference does a couple more dead guys make when its the f-in sage. This would be the equivalent of Jesus telling his desciples 'yo get up here, turns out I'm not powerful enough as the son of God for this crap, but the power of you 12 will turn the tide!' There is literally no way to explain this logically after the inane shit we just saw in the last battle. Naruto and Sasuke have as many powers as the damn Justice League practically speaking.

This is literally Kishimoto doing another instance of showing us shit that serves no purpose that the general public will interpret as having a deeper meaning. And seeing as these guys all lived at different times, its not even like they could be explained as his disciples or some crap.

He said he gave almost all his chakra to Naruto and Sasuke so he needed help summoning them back, he technically was in the same place as the Kages so when he crossed over he kinda just held the door open.
