The 1st began to say something about the Edo Tensei but the 2nd suddenly interrupted him, so maybe he was about to tell the real problem with Edo Tensei. Edo Tensei is too strong of a jutsu to be perfect. The so called "weakness" that we saw in Itachi's case isn't really a weakness of the jutsu since it was another godlike jutsu which required Shisui's unique eye that overpowered it. In Madara's case the control wasn't really broken, Itachi mind controlled Kabuto to stop the jutsu and Madara was freed at that point, he just made sure not to return to the world of the dead. So i think that the 1st and 2nd will reveal the real weakness of the jutsu later. The problem with Edo Tensei is that the basic laws of nature are completely thrown away in this case, it has infinite durability, chakra, stamina. The risk of Edo Tensei has been made clear alredy by example of Madara, given what we know about it right now he could go around the world for eternity and do whatever he wants. But there should be a source of this power that doesn't come from the physical world, the infinite energy might come from the world of the dead. And if so it should have some limitation, for example it could be that as time passes Madara will mentally degenerate as a side effect of drawing all that energy from the other dimension. Maybe Edo Tensei is a lesser version of a jutsu that created the 10-tails, if it's a human creation. It would be interesting if Madara began to lose his personality and his mind and became like the 10-tails, a mindless killing machine. He could even fuse with Obito's 10-tails at that point

I don't even want to write about how wrong this is, since Hunter already did that. But reading this after reading the current chapter made it clear: if the Hokages were not scared of the Uchiha clan for the reason explained in this chapter and if Danzou didn't plot against both the Uchiha and the village then it would be very clear that Itachi must be made the next hokage, that is the 5th hokage. Page 11 tells us that the old 3rd hokage was aware that when Itachi was just 7 years old he was already thinking like a hokage. He was already considered a prodigy and we have already seen how strong he became multiple times (best example was shortly after he joined akatsuki he easily beats Orochimaru who almost became the 4th hokage). Add to this that making Itachi the hokage could have been the best and only peaceful soltution to the conflict between the village and the Uchiha. The elders should have decided and the 3rd hokage should have told to Itachi: "You are the next hokage", at age 13 (many became kages at a young age, Gaara, Sarutobi, the mizukage that was controlled, all far weaker than Itachi at that age). And if Danzou were a guy who works for the village he would have accepted that. If the 3rd was a flawless leader he would have not only done that but also he would have killed Danzou if necessary.
