A user of the Outer Path is said to exist outside the realm of life and death, and has the ability to revive the dead with the Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique. However, this technique may only be available to users who are truly alive themselves, as Madara in his reincarnated state required another living Rinnegan wielder to revive him, and only an authentic Rinnegan may summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
