[Discussion] a contradicting point in the sage?

[Byron123]

So this chapter confused me a bit.
Till now the only time the sage had talked about a reincarnation that would complete his job the Bijuu were looking to Naruto as if they expected only one person to be like the sage. BUT the way the sage spoke in today's chapter showed that he had communicated with other reincarnations of his two sons in the past as well.

So, what's going on? I thought that the sage would appear only to those who had acquired chakra from all the 9 beasts and when that someone knew the names of all of them. Naruto is clearly the only one who achieved in doing that and that's obvious from the Bijuu's reaction.

So why the sage from all the times did he choose now to appear since supposedly having the Bijuu's chakra and knowing their names is not a prerequisite.

Because Naruto is close to becoming god.

That's not a serious argument, it's what a fanboy would say.

plot that all no big deal tho

Perhaps he is not referring to other reincarnations that he has previously met, but people like Madara/Obito who once they learned Hagoromo's history changed their outlooks of the world negatively.

Probably because he was the only one to cross between the world of the living and the dead.

No contradicting points made.
Numerous people were incarnated as the sons,although naruto is the one who will put the power to use and break the bonds of hatred with the original teachings of the sage.

You make it seem as if the sage he has personally talked to each person his sons will was passed onto (he didn't)
You make it seem as if the sage said i have talked to all my sons reincarnations who held the beat inside them (He didn't not even close to anything like that)

So then please explain me how do you understand the whole thing the sage is saying about his predecessors.

Its because Naruto is close to dying. Other than that, you can say its plot related as to why it didn't happen to anyone in the past nor at a different point in time. Most importantly, its because the fate of the world is in dire peril, but that can be chalked up to plot too if like to look at it like that.
