The scroll's seal was released, and three corpses appeared in the Hokage's Office.
Konan's corpse was fairly well preserved.
But Yahiko's and Nagato's corpses were each more gruesome than the last.
The former's head had been separated from his body, while the latter had been split into left and right halves.

Sigh... [Impure World Reincarnation] it is, then. Being temporarily revived is better than being dead for good...
Jiraiya sighed inwardly and ultimately kept
