Thanx 2 al who welcomed me!!!!!!!!! 2 others who say he didn't flee...u dont mean to tell me that it was the clone through out the fight do u??? coz by my estimate no clone can withstand tsunade's punch without goin poof (mind u no susano'o, another acheivement of the kages, they forced the susano 2 go!!!!)...so uptil the point that he got punched, it was the real madara...that means he FLED and left the clone when gaara wz bout to seal him...
