Do you think it's possible that Madara did actually die, but his body was reanimated somehow by Pein? The thought that Tobi is a rotting corpse under that mask is kind of cool to me...

We don't know for sure whether those other bodies that Jiraiya recognized are people who actually died or just went missing, do we?

And FUCK, I was hoping that Tsunade would show up at the last minute to bail Jiraiya out, even if that would have been a cheesier resolution.
