FTG pretty much confirmed as the jutsu that Naruto must perfect (unless I read it wrong and Naruto was just using super speed), learned it during his training with Jiraya, was unable to use it possibly because he could not stabilize his chakra enough (the greater the jutsu, the more dangerous it becomes for the user... I just think about Naruto's head winding up on one side of a room and his body on the other

Now that Naruto's 6 paths form is confirmed to appear in the outside world, it opens up huge possibilities for the battles to come

I liked the fact that Naruto did not possess instant mastery over his new abilities = more training and more room for growth
It appears that now that the hatred and will of the ninetails has been seperated from its' chakra that the demon cloak is gone = a good thing!
A. it differentiates Naruto and Bee, more than Naruto having a more advanced seal
B. the hatred and rage that made Naruto loose control are gone and he can now protect everyone with strength that he attained through hard work, courage, and determination
C. awesome possibilities about why Naruto now resembles the 6 paths sage when he accesses the ninetails chakra
YuYu Hakusho pops into my mind... how a demon hidden and dormant within a bloodline only awakened when a strong enough descendant emerged
Maybe the strength that Naruto attained prior to defeating the ninetails prompted the link to emerge, perhaps the love of his mother and father, perhaps the rejoining of the leaf and whirlpool bloodlines... maybe even a combination of them all!!!
Then the question becomes, did the 6 paths sage prepare for all of this to protect the world as the 4th sealed the ninetails to protect the leaf? Did he foresee that one day a special set of circumstances might create the perfect warrioir to seal away the negative energy of all of the tailed beasts for good and bring a sustainable and lasting peace to the world? Someone with control over nature energy, someone that has stripped hatred from their soul, someone with a strong chakra that naturally opposes the chakra of the tailed beasts... who fits that bill I wonder?
Perhaps a direct link to the 6 paths sage is the reason that Naruto was able to master sage mode and surpass Jirya so quickly...
Perhaps the markings that appear on Naruto reflect a technique that sealed the 6 paths chakra into his son so that it would be passed on from one generation to the next, only to be awakened when the chosen one, a child of prophecy would emerge!!!!
Um... sorry, getting a little too excited

Anyway, if there is a link between the sharingan and the raw hatred of the tailed beasts, does this mean that Sauske will no longer be able to cut off Naruto's chakra supply?
A few more questions for everyone, what if Madara implanted the rinegan in Sauske rather than Itachi's sharingan as requested? Would the rinegan then upgrade to 6 paths sage level? Would Sauke then be synced to Gedo Mazo as Madara had preiously mentioned? If Naruto's new abilities not only allow him to sense hatred, but to erase it some how, does he now have the final piece to the puzzle that is redeeming Sauske. Will Naruto defeat Madara, then along with Sauske, seal the tailed beasts for good?
Again... AWESOME possibilities!!!!!!!
Can't wait for Guy vs. Kisame round three! Odds are very low that Kisame escapes this one.
As for Kishi snubbing the pairings reference, I really didn't mind. I think that it will be addressed again for the last time when the moment is right for an epic emotional conclusion, appropriate for the manga.
Side Note:
A thought occured to me the other day. With all the games that Kishi has played with pairings fandoms, wouldn't it be wicked if it came down to Naruto saying his farewells to the rookie 9 before the final battle and Kishimoto ending a chapter with Naruto telling Hinata that he loves her... trailing off to the next week.
