@YD.Ann Well yeah, same could be said for Jiraiya vs Pain. They don't just have Ma and Pa whenever they want. Jiraiya had to use many distractions to be able to summon Ma and Pa anyways, so it's not something that they'll always be able to pull off successfully.

In any case, I agree Ma and Pa is a good solution for Minato's Sage Mode. I mentioned it earlier. But since he never used them, I assumed that he'd only enter Sage Mode the way he was shown to; by gathering and balancing the energy himself. But I like the point that he could possibly seal Sage chakra for later use; interesting strategy.
