Was It Really The Fourth Hokage in the Coffin?
Fans still passionately debate the mysterious occupant of the third coffin duringNaruto’s Konoha crush arc.Some believe it’s the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, because the coffin is labeled “Fourth.” However, the complex storytelling in this arc challenges this theory.
Minato Namikaze is a significant character inNaruto, and his soul is sealed within the Reaper Death Seal, a sacrifice he made to protect the village and his son, Naruto, from the Nine-Tails attack. This selfless act makes it hard to summon him conventionally, adding mystery to discussions about him.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has taken steps to prevent the emergence of the third coffin, increasing intrigue and anticipation for its contents.

Who Was in the Third Coffin Orochimaru Summoned During the Battle?
Many people wonder if the third coffin was empty and Orochimaru used the label “Fourth” to tease the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. The first two coffins held the First and Second Hokage, Hashirama and Tobirama, so folks thought the third might be the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
However, because of the complex story and Minato’s unique summoning, it’s hard to say if this was a mistake or done on purpose to spark fan debates. 1Fans speculate about who might be in the third coffin, suggesting characters like Madara Uchiha or Mito Uzumaki.
Madara Uchiha is a popular guess due to his power in the series, while some think it could be Mito Uzumaki, who was skilled and the first Nine-Tails jinchuriki. Keep in mind these are just theories without solid proof.
The series creator, Masashi Kishimoto, has never officially revealed who Orochimaru tried to summon in that third coffin, which keeps the discussions and curiosity alive.
