Honestly, it's not like he cares (he did have 15-16 years to ask questions, but still nothing). He has never expressed interest in his clan before (he's not Sasuke), and it's not like it would matter to him now. Additionally, anything Sasuke learned could have been told to Naruto at a later date.

Knowing a few seals is not the same as knowing intimate details from the people themselves.

Where was anyone during the attack? I don't see this clamoring for info on the Nara, Hyuuga, or anyone else. Their positioning matters very little to the overall story and not knowing will not create some plot hole.

While Kakashi is not the only one who knows what happened to Rin, it's still his words and actions that are in consideration, not Minato. And if Minato only appears to back up whatever Kakashi says, then he is essentially purposeless to the discussion.

They seem to have been doing a pretty damn good job last we saw.

Undoubtedly...which is what the last chapter of the actual battle was showing us. Zombies fighting zombies sounds ridiculously boring to me. If a character can't die, then there is nothing at stake, so what's the point? And since all the older generation are essentially wrong about everything (even Hashirama has been shown to be "wrong" now), their victory over Madara's ideology would just usher in further darkness and discontent. No, Naruto has to be leading the current generation in defeating Madara or any defeat will be pointless.

True, but since Naruto has already been compared to Hashirama (and Madara...and Obito...and the Sage...and Minato...and etc), anything he says could just as easily remind Madara of Hashirama, which will in turn spark that inner peace. I'm not discounting the affect Hashirama would have on Madara, I just don't think it is necessary for a completion to the story (even if Kishimoto wants Madara to have a happy ending...after killing 10,000s).
