* In all the filler episodes and films that show Kushina alive with Naruto being Kurama's jinchuriki... how is this possible? Transferring it would have killed Kushina and in the main canon was only done as a last resort so Naruto could stop Obito. But if Obito never attacked Konoha or Minato succeeded in repelling him before he unleashed Kurama, then there would have been no reason to seal Kurama into Naruto at all and Kushina would've remained its jinchuriki. So... did they split it and leave one half with Kushina and the other with Naruto?

** I myself thought that it's how it's used, take for example [[Pokemon]], water is weak to lightning because Pokemon are not ''made'' or water so they take the amplified lightning to their physical bodies, kinda why lightning was never used against Sloth in ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'', or how in ZatchBell the lighting protagonist had a hard time fighting against the water enemy because she was savvy enough to never come into contact with the water that was electrified. In the Naruto universe Earth is used mostly as defense and the basic attacks are akin to the ones used by earthbenders in AangTheLastAirbender, so it makes sense that it's weak to lightning, the basic power of which is enhancing its piercing capabilities, a great example being Sasuke with his Chidori, lightning-enhanced blade, lightning spear attack, etc. However, this still balks at the problem of why lightning prevented Deidara from activating his explosions.

* Why does anyone give Naruto flak for wearing "obviously unstealthy" orange when every ninja in the entire series wears a headband that's basically a badge saying "I'm a ninja from X village." You'd think that would clue people in that hiding who they are isn't a big priority for ninja in this series.

*** If that would be the case, Hagoromo really did quite a poor job at splitting the ten-tails chakra into 9 parts. This would make the creation of the 1-3 tails basically pointless. Wouldn't it make more sense that the clones just act as proxy for the nine-tails? In the sense that they all are linked back to the same source, basically making the number of clones irrelevant? Also, such an immense disparity in the amount of chakra should be easily picked up by the protagonists.

*** I think it disproves it in the sense that Kabuto was close, but had it backwards. The Rinnegan is not the evolution of the Sharingan, rather, the Sharingan is the evolution of the Rinnegan. The powers of the Sage were not a normal evolution, but a power inherited from his mother, and his sons each only inherited a part of it for themselves, implying that something of the power is lost with each generation. Madara even states that ninja of his day were far more powerful then the current ones, and as all chakra is a result of descent from the Sage's powers, this backs up the speculation that each generation loses power relative to the previous. Therefore, as the power became more and more diluted over the generations, the eyes adapted a more efficient, but less powerful form, to compensate for the smaller chakra reserves of their users. Mixing Senju cells and Uchiha blood essentially artificially re-creates the Sage's DNA, and therefore, chakra, but on a far more diluted level. Nonetheless, this proves sufficient to allow the eyes to revert to something similar to the original form they were descended from in response to the bolstered life-force and chakra reserves that appear to be traits of the power inherited by the Senju. In other words, the Sharingan is the fantastic ninja equivalent of a species adopting a smaller, less durable form that allows them to run and hide rather then fight in response to a climb in the population of their natural predators.

***Presumably, this is why they didn't simply force Nagato to resurrect Madara as soon as handing him the Rinnegan. Resurrecting him from scratch would have resulted in him coming back as an old man, and dying soon afterwards. Madara's plan likely always involved some way around this issue, the only reason Kabuto and Edo Tensei ended up being involved in the process is because Tobi had no intention of actually resurrecting Madara, instead simply using him until he died and then hijacking his plan. Hence his troubled reaction when Kabuto reveals Madara's coffin. Also consider, these are the upgraded version of the eyes that can cast time-warp techniques such as Izanami and Izanagi. It's not unbelievable to assume the user can choose to resurrect the target at any point during their lives, and Pein simply chooses to resurrect everyone at their 'oldest' because he had no reason to bring them all back younger.

*** Given Madara's attitude and blood knight tendencies, it's certainly feasible that, if Edo Tensei does indeed render the resurrected numb, then he would consider that 'less then full power'. He's shown to enjoy battle for it's own sake, deliberately handicapping himself against most enemies and lamenting that only Hashirama was ever able to fight him at his best. For someone like that, the inability to feel pain and feel as if his life is being threatened, and knowing he will just regenerate if killed, could result in him lacking any real motivation and simply going through the motions. Simply put, 'at full power' doesn't just refer to his abilities and tactics, but also his mindset, and without the adrenaline rush, he simply cannot bother to give it everything he's got.

** In Japanese schools, which the ninja academy was based on, there aren't two semesters but rather three trimesters, each of them with their own exam the score for which is a part of the final grade. So the fact that Naruto had failed the last two exams doesn't mean that he repeated the year twice or tried to graduate early twice and failed; rather, it means that he totally bombed the first two of the three exams in the final year and thus his grades right now, in the graduating year, are worse than shit. But he is the same age as his peers, and always was.

*** I've read at least one theory, which since became fanon, that as far as the majority of the public are concerned, a Jinchuuriki's soul is either destroyed or erased the instant the Bijuu is sealed within them-in essence, they cease being human and actually do become the Bijuu. Stemming from this is a line I've seen in at least one fic, along the lines of, "No. That...thing is NOT the Yondaime's son. As far as this village is concerned, the Yondaime's son died the day of his birth." Fanon, as I said, but considering how little most people would actually know or care about the actual details of exactly what a Jinchuuriki is, much less how little is actually known about the Bijuu themselves, it makes a bit of sense.

*** A big part of it is probably due to Danzo's influence and fear of a coup from the Uchiha.

The Uchiha were a big enough threat without giving them a nine-tails sized nuke to drop on Konoha once he'd been properly indoctrinated, and considering his treatment by the other villagers, he would have been all the more likely to listen to the only people who showed him affection when they say "hey, Naruto, let's go wipe out all those people who were mean to you."

However, (despite having used the handseals) Sakura doesn't use it, instead landing on Zaku, stabbing his arm, and biting him. He then begins to punch her to get her off for a pretty sizable amount of time. Here's where I'm confused: While he was punching Sakura, why didn't he just shoot her with Decapitating Airwaves? He could have stabbed her in the head with a kunai, too. His teammates were also there. Why didn't they help, either?
