Just want to say I told y'all so about Naruto not being able to use Kage Bunshin.
Actually, I think this chapter really shows how unreasonable and irrational the kyuubi is...he obviously doesn't want to die or be controlled, yet he doesn't just man up and help Naruto right away...
Also, "stength isn't determined by the number of tails"...I suspected it, but I'm surprised to hear it.
