Oh, they're finely done setup, but it's about awesome stuff that is going to happen, rather than stuff happening now.A manga needs setup beats to make the high beats sharper, but a setup beat still gives us less to rave about right now.
Part of the experience is the suspense. If I just saw Orochimaru pop out of nowhere and be all like "Sasuke, here's important stuff to tell you blahblah" then I wouldn't have anything to look forward to next week.
That wouldn't be the case because of dat ass now would it:

My guess is that since the buddy-buddy relation between Kurama and Naruto is relatively new, they've yet to get used to it. That one Bijudama took a lot out of Naruto and I'm guessing that he's using the energy from the clones to regain his old chakra cloak.
Though why Naruto's using this version instead of the latest one is beyond me. I will not that this is an impressive strength feat considering how he matched Bee's upper-cut while he was in his Hachibi form.

They did comment earlier that they could only maintain it for a few minutes.
Also we did miss a good deal of fighting between him and the other biju.

Errr...He did handle 5 Bijuu, and matched their combined power in a shorter amount of time then they were able to reach it. 😕 How is that not impressive?
