Danger ; long post full of my random thoughts. Read at own risk;
- I remember a long time ago the topic of the sage's sons was introduced into the manga, and it became pretty clear that the senju clan and the uchiha clan represented the lineage of each son.
But at that point there was no indication that the senju son was a "loser". They both seemed like geniuses, one using ocular powers and the other using body power. It made sense in light of Hashirama's crazy chakra tehcniques and Naruto's natural endurance (even without kyuubi).
- But then later in the manga (when kyuubi bonds with the bijuu), the foreshadowing suggests strongly that Naruto is the reincarnation of the Sage himself. The bijuu did not say Naruto reminds them of the Sage's sons. They say he reminded them of the sage himself. So it seems a *little* bit random how the son's are the important issue now.
Also another thought;
Why is the sage appearing to Naruto now in visions? My guess is that when the reincarnation is close to death in a 'destiny' type fight, the sage appears and gives his peptalk.
That means that while naruto is getting this message, simultaneously Sasuke is also probably getting the same conversation. Future chapters will probably switch to show us Sasukes conversation with the sage.
This might also explain some mysteries about Madara and Hashirama.
1) It would explain where Madara got all this information about the chakra tree and the secret lore that no one else seems to know about.
2) It would explain Hashirama's *wierd* behaviour after his Madara fight. Where he is on the verge of death, but seems to be spacing out, looking at the sky. He might have been getting his So6p tutorial at that moment.
Yet another thought!
If the speculation above is true, it would mean that the sage's pep talk did not redeem Madara. All it did was provide him with useful information on how he could do more world dominationl things.
Is it possible that the S06p is neither good nor bad. Instead he is both. A kind of Ying and Yang where the two son's represent the two aspects of the Sage himself. If this is the case, then perhaps he did not try to dissuade Madara, but actually vindicated him in some sense. He loves both his sons equally, and both are part of him. So he did not interfere with their little war, and later on he does not take sides with the reincarnations.
So at this moment, perhaps Sasuke will not move closer to the light side after his conversation with the S06P. Instead he might actually end up reverting back to his natural alignment, and join up with Madara.
The most epic scenario would be ;
- Naruto gets his peptalk, gets his powerboost (Hopefully involving all the bijuu finally working inside him to create an interesting new jinchurikii that is different from the staff wielding Madara/obito)
- Sasuke gets his peptalk, and his own interesting powerboost, and wakes up deciding to join Madara.
- Gai's death-gate becomes more important that simply doing a "little damage" to Madara. Instead Gai backed up by the others, actually sets up Madara such that Gai is about to deliver a killing blow and Madara is helpless.
- They think they are about to win when suddenly sasuke pops out of nowhere and save's Madara in the knick of time.
- Somewhere along the line, Madara dies, and Naruto/Sasuke fight it out. True to Naruto's premonition (a foreshadowing that is too important to ignore), Both Naruto and Sasuke die in that fight.
