Reanimation jutsu was initially developed by Second Hokage, who recognized the danger of this powerful jutsu and sealed it as Forbidden Jutsu. Orochimaru later restored it and somewhat improved it as well. In order to modify it he needed material containing individual data, like blood and flesh. He asked Kabuto to help him generate this data and perfect this Reanimation jutsu.
Sealed reanimation of Toroi, the Magnet-Style user from Hidden Cloud village is brought in by two mid-range shinobis. One of the guys, Musai, that brought the sealed corpse remembers his dad, who once went on a mission with Toroi and got himself killed there. Someone notices another reanimated ninja on top of the hill. Next thing they know, there are dozens of reanimated shinobis all around them invoked by Torune's summoning jutsu.
Torune, former Danzo's bodyguard, clears up the order given by Kabuto to take back the sealed Toroi. The Read Cloud of Dust, Daimaru of the Wind doesn't like to be told what to do, so he gives out orders to attack. When they get hit but hundreds of flying kunai, most of them die. Kabuto reanimated a whole bunch of weaklings, but not without a reason. He needed the dead bodies identified and data collected. This would have been very difficult, should they still be in a grave.
Kabuto didn't have it all that easy learning the Reanimation Jutsu. Years of exploration with his mentor Orochimaru, piecing together personal data on powerful dead shinobi, robbing the graves in the process. First reanimations yielded false results. After many failures though, Kabuto managed to reanimate Deidara art master, Sasori's grandmother Chiyo a great puppet master, Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swords Men and many other. Asuma's, Kato's, and Hayate's graves were robbed as well. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Orochimaru Orochimaru was killed and Kabuto, his pupil, adopted some of his skills. Kabuto makes a reference to taking Orochimaru into his body.
Not all reanimated shinobi are weak. There are four famous shinobi, who standby to use their special skills to bring back the sealed corpses of Toroi, Third Raikage and others. Daimaru breaks the protective barrier guarding a sealed corpse, Jutsu Formula gets decoded by a reanimated priest. The Third Raikage's seal would be broken and his body stolen were it not for Temari and her Blade Dance Jutsu. The Chukaku priest is sealed first.
Daimaru spots his long lost love Temari. Now that he is dead, he is more courageous and decides to tell her that he always loved her. She wasn't in love with him, of course. Daimaru has been dead for a long timer, but she did remember liking the boy, because he wasn't intimidated by Kazekage's daughter.
After Daimaru got sealed, Temari spotted Leaf's Foundation's very own, reanimated Torune. The former Danzo's bodyguard, is the master of Venomous Beetles and our Shino will face him in the next Naruto episode. The title of Naruto Shippuden 317 is "Shino vs Torune".
