If Nagato had the rinnegan the whole time, why didn't he revive Madara sooner? Like WAY sooner.

When Madara had the rinnegan, why not revive his brother?

When it was reviled that sage mode can hurt the powers of 6sop, then why minato didn't use that power to help out earlier?

There is a lot more but I can't think of it atm

that minato and sage mode we have to wait to see how he got it and the details that go along with that

i think the plan was for obito to along without reviving madara...he wanted to revive other people or revive somebody else

to revive with the rennigan you have to die once you do so...thats why

Nagato had no knowledge of reviving "Madara".?

Madara didn't know where the body was? Infinite Tsukuyomi allows them both to live in the same world

Who knows, maybe Kurama wouldn't allow Minato to activate both at the same time? That was the case with Naruto.

The first 2 points was because if they revived someone they'd die but I do agree that Minato having SM is an Asspull.

Nagato wasnt aware of the real plan, and Obito wasn't going to let Nagato revive Madara. Which is why he was pissed when Kabuto revived Madara.

Why would Madara revive his bro if he wanted to use infinite tsukoyomi?

i'll say one more time..... how in the fak did nagato get crippled his life just because of a really bad burn? I thought that uzumaki healing power would help him recover or why didnt he use the naraka path to restore himself?....

If I remember correctly the toad sages said that naruto was the first to perfect Sage Mode and Minato doesn't have any toad features he looks like he also has perfect sage mode. furthermore if minato had it all along why didn't he use it when protecting the village and his family when fighting Tobi. maybe he's been practicing with King Kai in Other world this whole time that's my only explanation

Because they all had other ideas for in their mind and didn't really wish to die for something unless they must.

Madara preferred to live himself and revive Izuna only in genjutsu being the unselfish nice loving bro he is.

Nagato and Obito never had same goals. Obito meant to use him. Nagato didn't seem very happy with him to agree to just die and let someone else play around with everyone.

Same for Obito.

Let's face it- even Obito didn't want to revive Madara but to make his dream world, while Madara snatched the eye from him for his own version. No one wants to live in genjutsu - not even Madara. They just want the power over every else in their own hands.

The talk about how bad the world is or how good it would be, is just selling their own version to shinobi world and make them accept the subordination.

There are flaws in the manga but this one lies with the characters themselves. It's not a plot hole but reality check on these characters.

i thought it was the gedo so that crippled him? he was walking after the burns.

minato is a genius and a sensor type why couldn't he of perfected the sage mode from seeing naruto use perfect sage mode?

Yeah, Nagato did not know the plan. He was not aware of much and as he said, he was used. Using Rinne Tensei would revive Izuna but kill Madara which would be useless to Madara. Madara's plan is to eradicate all life in the world. The Yin Kurama is not as cooperative as the Yang Kurama and was giving lip even in this dire situation. Minato could not meld Senjutsu with his beast form. Also he's been pretty injured and gotten very little panel time. All these past dozen chapters have happened within a several minute time frame with many things going on a the same time so he just got the chance to use it right now.

There is a lot more but I can't think of it atm

1. As far as Nagato was concerned Madara was alive and well, [Obito], Obito went as far as to tell him the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan that ''he'' came up with

2. Madara as Obito, became warped enough to believe regardless of his brother coming back, the world is still at fault and it was up to him to end what he views as an ''Imperfect Word''

3. After Naruto landed the first blow, Obito went extremely defensive and Tobirama mentioned that a sneak attack like that would not work again. It wasn't until after a few chapters that Kurama mentioned to Naruto that he may be able to merge the sage chakra with his own to maintain the power of the Kyuubi as well as be able to land blows with Sage chakra. Minato was handicapped in losing an arm, and he and tobirama were supporting the two [Sasuke and Naruto] who were using a mix of Unique powers [EMS and Curse Seal and Kyuubi and Sage chakra]. The real question is Minato unable to mix the kyuubi chakra with sage chakra? would answer all the questions.

Nagato didn't know about Madara, and thought Obito = Tobi = Madara

Real Madara awakened Rinnegan just before death and didn't want to die

Minato was distracted by fighting with one arm and not able to help.

The true question is why didn't Obito revive Rin, instead of planning such a messy Infinite Tsukiyomi shit.

He doesn't die if it's an Uzumaki. Nagato revived his pain clones a lot of times without dying. Which leads me to another question, why didn't Nagato revive the killed Akatsuki members?
