Edo Tensei

Even being forcibly returned to the world of the living, Kimimaro retained his main trait — absolute calmness and readiness to serve. He feels neither anger nor regret about his own death, perceiving the resurrection as just another mission. In his mind runs the thought that now inside him flows the chakra of Orochimaru, conducted by Kabuto's will, and this only strengthens his resolve. He does not ask unnecessary questions and strictly follows orders, not distracted by emotions. Even upon encountering Naruto's shadow clone, he does not show hostility, merely calmly noting that time did not stand still. He retains his former focus and meticulousness in battle, using each movement to maximum advantage. Unlike some other resurrected, his will does not fight against control, because he remains loyal to Orochimaru's ideals and perceives Kabuto as their continuation. When the Impure World Reincarnation technique was dispelled, only surprise flickered on his face — the sole emotion he allowed himself to show. In his final moment he uttered neither reproach nor curse, accepting the end of his second existence with the same calmness as the first.
