@Mashikeine: the anime had the all of chapter nine taking place over course of about 6 minutes. And this was with very little padding. Remove the padding and maybe 4 minutes.

Regardless of the Juubi's seal breaking or it unexpectedly transforming Madara's goal was still capturing the last of the tailed beast and that would have been the best opputunity. Naruto "having his hands full" isnt a good excuse because he can make a gazillion shadow clones.

Naruto's Sage Mode is nowhere near Tailed Beast level but Gai was fighting Tailed Beasts at around 7 Gates.
