It's difficult to make out what is happening when the rasengan hits Madara.

It looks like the rasengan hits him in the back. Then Madara is holding his arm and it seems the white gooey stuff we saw before when he regenerated an arm is there again so... He can regenerate? That's an ability I wouldn't have imagined on an Uchiha.

...

Zetsu, final villain, actually took Madara's corpse and revived him.

Well, their partnership certainly did seem to run deep.

Then uh, Madara forgets he can become intangible and gets hit by a kunai or something and the fourth follows up with a contract seal.

It's terrible. The fourth's great idea, after finally managing to land an attack on a tangible Madara, is not to swiftly kill him but to apply a contract seal. How is that contract seal even supposed to work? From what we've seen, normal summon animals retain their free will and can obey or disobey their master. Madara might have obtained a contract with the Kyuubi so he can summon him when it's free but he uses sharingan genjutsu to control it. And it's the sharingan genjutsu that got dispelled!

As expected, Madara "losing control" did not stop the Kyuubi from rampaging in Konoha.

Some page about Iruka no one cares about.

Madara just flees. He looks fine, he's standing away from the fourth. I guess he's running low on chakra and doesn't care to summon the Kyuubi away or kill someone who pretty much correctly guessed his identity and will most certainly give him trouble later on.

The younger ninjas are so unruly they're restraining them with seals or something.
Ninja military cannot be told what to do.
And there are civilians who might have needed some help, but god forbid the younger ninjas from doing anything useful. The only thing that can be done is beat up the Kyuubi.
Ugh.

Now before the fourth had teleported Kyuubi's attack to some other area.
I assumed he had several areas to choose from.
He chooses to teleport the Kyuubi near his wife and newborn while knowing that the teleportation will not leave him with much chakra left.
...

Then Kushina goes suicidal. Well, I'm not sure. Obviously, she survived having the Kyuubi ripped from her. I thought maybe she didn't have long left, but uh, it doesn't really seem like it? Anyway, she wants to pull the Kyuubi back inside her and then kill herself. If she could pull the Kyuubi back inside herself couldn't she just become the jinchuuriki again and all would be good? I don't get it. The wording is incomprehensible, but I guess she's running out of chakra, is incurable, will not have enough chakra to really contain the Kyuubi and no one else can help (in spite of the fourth helping control her seal during the birth).

The fourth acts all whiny like Naruto. It's hard to believe this is the same person who has shown shilling stares and has sliced throats in cold blood before. Normal human beings aren't like that.

Well what follows really shows how crazy the guy is. He's going to seal a wild beast in his son, sacrifice himself (and he's a valuable asset for his village) all so his wife can see their son one last time (in death) and so the village retains the Kyuubi. (And I did not understand what happened to the Kyuubi after its host died.)

Only half of the Kyuubi is in Naruto. (And the explanation for that is also weird. At this point, I'm pretty sure that Kishimoto pretty much just jumbles some words together that look like they might be an explanation when he's trying to justify something for which he has no answer.) What of Madara's plans to revive the ten tails?

To complete the case of his nuttiness, the fourth decides that "for some reason, he just knows" that Naruto is the child of prophecy.

I suppose next week this flashback will stop and we'll be back to Naruto talking with Kushina and maybe ending that discussion. Perhaps Kushina will find a way to transfer the vast knowledge on seals she has as an Uzumaki? Maybe teach Naruto how to make chakra chains?

I must be reading another chapter. When did this happen?

If its one thing I hate about this manga is these type of stuff, what a weird decision, it hardly makes any sense.Out of all places to bring a bijuu you suddenly think its a good idea to place it near an hour old baby and its mother?

overall the chapter was pretty good although I did expect more of the Minato and madara fight. It seemed the fight was too easy for Minato and yet again we saw little attributes of Madara, guess Kishimoto is waiting for the perfect time to show us what type of jutsus he has to offer.

It's my understanding that Minato sealed half the kyuubi's chakra in naruto, and the death god took the other half, meaning that half of the kyuubi is gone forever? I think this is strange...

Well he said he would seal half of it in himself via the death god. Does that mean Kabuto has access to part of the Kyuubi in the fourth via his resurrection technique? Or that Madara somehow got to Minato's body and could acquire part of the Kyuubi that way?

If Naruto had only half of the Kyubi, and has control of part of its chakra, then he has like 30% of the Kyubi's power.

Actually I think the other half of the Kyubi was supposed to be sealed away somewhere that the frogs could access and give back to Naruto, but all I remember is the impression that they thought that Naruto could barely handle half the Kyubi, so controlling the whole thing did not seem probable.

maybe that's why Naruto said wait to the Kyuubi when he sealed him just recently. Maybe he's going to find a way to unlock the full Kyuubi and come back to him. I don't know...

This.

Nevermind the flawed logic in keeping him alive at all, but Minato should want to kill him for injuring his wife and possibly hurting his infant son.

...Then again, shortly afterwards, he put a monster inside his son so maybe he wasn't so angry about that.

I seriously thought the second half was in the frog seal thing... Hmm....

Maybe when the 4th sealed the other half, he did some round about way of giving it to the frogs. Maybe they extracted it from Minato.
