I thought it was funny how polite Minato was to Orochimaru (in my translation anyway), calling him "Orochmaru-San". It seems Kishimoto really wants to portray the fourth as Mr. Perfect.
Anyway, I thought this situation and the chapter was really intersting --enough for me to hope that the story doesn't shift back to the "ninja war" for a good while. We have a very interesting group of characters here, and so far the interaction and dialogue has been plentiful(for a change) and really entertaining, what with Suigetsu & Sasuke's facial expressions at the first hokage, and the sibling rivalry between the first and second, really fun stuff to read... "That Orochimaru brat again!"
