The reanimated shinobi in Naruto's Ninja War Arc provided great entertainment for viewers but that was not the real reason for including them.

The Fourth Shinobi World War arc in Naruto featured very powerful villains and the Allied Shinobi Forces had a hard time, even more so due to the use of the Edo Tensei Jutsu, a reanimation technique that brings dead shinobi back to fight as "zombie" slaves for the user. Powerful shinobi, including the former Hokages, and even Naruto's dad Minato, were revived.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT During the war, Obito commanded tens of thousands of White Zetsu soldiers, but they were not enough to face the combined powers of all the shinobi in the world. He struck a deal with Kabuto and got access to the strength of deceased shinobi that he summoned through the forbidden Edo Tensei jutsu: Akatsuki members, former Kages, Jinchuriki, and legendary fighters.

Naruto Needed Opponents He Could Actually Beat Without Compromising His Pacifism Masashi Kishimoto revealed in a 2014 interview with Fuji TV that the main purpose of the massive use of the Edo Tensei Jutsu was to switch up a common trope that he was employing. He says that after the Pain Arc, Naruto never really had any intention to kill his opponents, preferring instead to reason with them and try dialogue.

Still, while fan service and plot necessities were also behind the massive use of Edo Tensei, what's most significant is that Kishimoto came up with this creative solution to make sure that, while Naruto's progression away from the path of violence continued, his story would not lose the action beats that made it so popular among fans.
