Guys, dont forget way back when kyuubi told sasuke something like "one more thing, dont kill naruto, you'll regret it."
Interesting point.
Just playing with ideas here... Madara is all powerful at one point, then suddenly becomes a shadow of his former self. He isn't dead, but still lives. Kyuubi tells Sasuke not to kill Naruto. Could it be that the 4th sealed more than just the Kyuubi in Naruto? You don't create such a scroll in the middle of a fight with the most powerful bijuu do you... you got to have it already mostly complete, with they key to unlock the seal the only thing left to add.
I'm thinking this could not have been a reflex sort of thing Minato did. It seems he planned this all out. Maybe he knew of Madara and that he would return, and prepared for this. The reason I say this is because of that 'ultimate jutsu' scroll Jiraiya handed over to the frog before the Pein fight to pass on to Naruto. This same scroll has the key apparently to unlock the 4th's seal.
For me the outstanding plot points that need to tie in are:
1) Rinengan - What is the point of introducing uber powerful eyes so late in the series?
2) Team Hebi - They can't have just been for cheerleading purposes
3) Itachi's Unexplained death
4) Minato's scroll plus seal
5) The effect of Akatsuki controlling 8 of the 9 bijuu... will Kyuubi be able to take them all on at once? Will Sasuke use his eyes to control Kyuubi?
6) The role of Roots
7) Madara himself - what of his claim to toy with 'you children' later?
8) Kyuubi's warning for Sasuke not to kill Naruto
And where does Kyuubi warn Sasuke not to kill Naruto? Please tell.

It's during the arc when Naruto encounters Sasuke for the first time after 2 1/2 years.
