I didn't like this chapter when i first read it, probably because i wasn't in the mood but now that i read it again, It was actually pretty good.
Naruto being such a boss and Sasuke being the what do we do kid is..... refreshing?
My fave part is the Naruto-Tobirama interaction. Nidaime sure is lovable!
It made me reflect again on Naruto's personality and character.
He seems to be tactless most of the time esp. with someone of a higher rank but actually he really is just someone who blurt out things he actually thinks of. I think its the same when he answered Minato's question to Sakura if she is his girlfriend. It's not like he is joking or teasing Sakura (like what most anti-NS says) but he was just simply saying what he honestly thinks of.
i guess i'm still hang up on that topic 
but i just can't help it when people try to downplay Naruto's feelings out of all things during that time with Minato.
Actually, I still feel insulted that Naruto's love is nothing to compare anyone's else. Um, yeah ok, and he has a date of when he fell in love. Sure, it's no big deal. Ok........
you're not alone. I just couldn't understand how can someone question or downgrade Naruto's love...of all the characters in this manga, Naruto's feelings is one of those things you just can't pass by insignificant.
I want to ask a question. People say that the alliance was healed due to the Kyuubi's chakra. Does any of you have the source for this? If this is true, I'm sincerely doubting the reason why Sakura even exists.
someone gave a good answer already but in addition to that, it was Sakura who put Naruto back into a good shape before the hokages arrival. I guess this pertains more to your last statement.
