 * When he was smashed by the rock. (Saved by Madara's tunnel)
 * When he was bombed by Konan. (Saved by Izanagi)
 * When he lost all the Tailed Beasts. (Saved by Gedo Mazo)
 * When he revived Madara. (Saved by Black Zetsu)
 * When he got stabbed by Kaguya. (Died for real, but still managed to come back as a spirit)
