They probably said something like "Minato's wife and child were both killed by the Kyuubi" in order to keep people from asking questions.

* If Obito's main goal is to bring Rin back at any cost, couldn't he have forced Kabuto to go find any remains of Rin and revive her using Edotensei? If it proved impossible even for Kabuto (and the man's a master at finding ninja remains), there ought to have been some mention of it. It would be an order of magnitude or two easier, at the very least, than casting a planet-wide genjutsu, and this Rin would be an actual physical person with her own sentience rather than an illusion. Then again, Kabuto DID have that trump card of [[spoiler:Madara]]. Actually, [[spoiler:as the Three-Tails's most recent jinchuriki, shouldn't Kabuto have chosen Rin to resurrect back instead of Yagura]]?

*** I thought that it had to do with the specific seal used on Naruto, obviously the other bijuu don't die when their hosts die (Hachibi had hosts before Bee, the previous Mizukage had the Sanbi if I remember correctly) so it could be possible that it was a part of his seal.

** And aside from that, while it's easy to forget sometimes, all these 12-year-olds are highly-trained ninja who could defeat pretty much any non-ninja adult in a fight very easily. Besides which, children of around 12 years seem to be more or less considered adults; some of them live on their own and nobody thinks anything of it, for instance. They do have Jonin supervision when they go out on potentially dangerous missions, but they still face serious danger an awful lot, and in the Chunin Exam their very lives were explicitly in danger on several occasions. Hitting a preteen Genin isn't really hitting a child.
* I know that there are lots of things that don't make sense about the fights, but one thing stands out to me--the Substitution Jutsu. It seems it can be used at any time, even when one's hands can't form signs...so why is any ninja in any danger, ever?

** I don't recall each of the locations mentioned here so correct me if any of my assumptions are wrong. The Forest is around The Village Hidden in the Leaves, the Desert is around the Village Hidden in the Sand, the Riverbed is where the Rescue Gaara Arc ends and I'm not sure where the Ocean is. First, those aren't ecosystems by any stretch of the immagination. A dried or dryish riverbed in a desert or a desert near the ocean (Middle East anybody?) isn't even contradictory to each other. The only one that's at all out of place is the forest and that's not a huge stretch. Even if it was more radical you can travel parts of America or Asia where it changes just as rapidly from actually different kinds of terrain. That's not a great gauge of size one way or another. It's hard to gauge distance by ninja speed anyway, the above poster has given them a top speed of 20 mph which while it can't be maintained is a human speed. Nobody in real life can move so fast that you lose track of them and if what we've seen is any example of "normal" any ninja who isn't faster than the average human eye is no ninja at all. It wouldn't shock me to find out that ninja are capable of getting up past 40 mph with bursts in the low to mid hundreds. Rock Lee is fast enough to play ping pong without letting his opponent touch the ground in Part One and it might not be stated but it's heavily implied that the 4th Hokage, 3rd and 4th Raikage and Naruto are all MUCH faster than that.

** Probably quite large, remember that the preferred travel method is more or less outright sprinting by our standards (if not faster than that). Assuming a speed of 30 kph (about 19 mph) and a daily downtime of 10 hours to rest and recuperate, then a three day trip for a ninja is about 1260 kilometers (783 miles) or the distance from New York to Chicago. I personally think this is a conservative estimate, but even then the combined landmass of the elemental nations is at least continent sized.

* Despite never going back on his word, I've always wondered why Naruto hasn't, in his quest to save Sasuke, had a SweetAndSourGrapes moment and just told himself to just enjoy the company of his TrueCompanions rather than repeatedly go after one person who has tried to kill him multiple times. Is it because, being the emotionally abused orphan he is, he's trying to get back someone who at least acknowledged his existence without willing to face reality of Sasuke's betrayal? Or has he become somewhat emotionally dependent with Sasuke? It wouldn't be that hard to give up on the one person who's causing him the most pain and trouble in life and enjoying time with the precious people he has now. So why does he persist?
