I thought Naruto has clones on Mt. Toad... Or somewhere, at least. That was a brilliant tactical move against Pein. It would be utterly stupid to not turn it into a strategic strength by always keeping some clones in reserve. Heck, they could (potentially) be training up there, getting ready to give the main character new jutsu when he dispels them.
