Thanks for the response. You're right, I forgot Madara, though we don't know how exactly Kabuto fixed Madara up, or how long that took. I mean Madara was meant to be Kabuto's ace, what else was the guy supposed to do when he summons an old man? He HAS to fix him up, or else Madara is essentially useless. I mean Madara knew of the Edo Tensei, there may have been a reason he never considered it as an option for resurrection, not even as an intermediate solution to be able to work directly on his plan until the Rinnegan-user has gained the necessary skill to bring him back to actual life.
Another possibility is that the appearance of the summon is dependant on the age that person was when the sample was separated from him or her. So if Kabuto found Madara's DNA, such as blood or hair, that was shed when Madara was in his twenties, then the Edo Tensei will build up the body according to the information supplied by the DNA. So even though Madara died an old man, that DNA did not age beyond the twenties, and the body built from it thus hasn't either. It would make sense, as Madara's survival beyond his last fight against Hashirama was a closely guarded secret, how would Kabuto have known where to find Madara's body, or even where and what he had to look for? It's more likely he just found older DNA from when Madara was younger.
I mean if it really were so simple to pick the age of your summon, why summon them as old men and children, rather than simply call them all into their prime when their bodies are at their physical best? Either the process takes so much time or so many resources that it wouldn't be worth the cost in the long term, or the appearance is decided by factors outside the user's control. Either way, it's bound to be significantly more complex than it was depicted in this chapter, and would have required preparation, as Mito's body when Kabuto used it was that of an old woman.

So basically Kiyomi tells him that if his wifes wish to prove him their love in the greatest way, bear him a child, she'll essentially let them die? Her relationship with Naruto is already strained because of the brainwashed kunoichi, and her plan is to tell Naruto 'If they birth you a child, I will let age kill them, take them away from you forever.' Is she TRYING to end her relationship with Naruto?

Actually Hidan was completely immortal, and he didn't starve in the sense that he ran out of nutrition. After all, he talked without lungs to push air past his vocal chords, why would he need a stomach to digest? If he perished, it would be because of his immortality's one flaw; it's powered by sacrifice, meaning that if he fails to murder for a certain amount of time, which he can't while he's trapped under the earth as a head, it will eventually fade, and once that happens Hidan's injuries will kill him. Hidan's cause of death would be trauma, not starvation. He 'starves' in the way that his immortality run out of fuel, but not because of a lack of food or water.

As for Anko, it may not have been the most pressing point in the story so far, but her reaction suggests that no heart-to-heart has occured to this day. After all, she is breaking away feeling rejected, and she still has the nerve to refer to that kidnapping&torture-attempt as BDSM. Either she really still has no idea how you do that with a willing partner, who you CAN'T treat like the prisoners you break for a living, or a conversation regarding the hows and whys of both the play and that disastrous session haven't happened. I mean Naruto is the type of person who will at least attempt something to make his girls happy even if he himself is not having the time of his life doing it, I just can't see him flat-out reject EVERYTHING about BDSM-play with Anko under proper circumstances. Part of his Sage-training consisted of being hit on the head with an old toad's cane, Naruto knows how to take pain for a certain cause.

I assumed that the heart-to-heart conversation between Anko and Naruto didn't happen, because if you're saying that it did and Anko still acts the way she does in the last chapter, then either Naruto condemned BDSM and by extension Anko as sick and depraved after it was properly explained to him, which would make Naruto a rude and insensitive bstard, or Anko still didn't learn anything about how BDSM really works and insists on trying to treat Naruto as a literal, no-rights slave who just has to suck it up if his owner lets out his bad mood on him, which would make Anko a control-thirsty selfish btch who just wants to rule her partner and doesn't really care about Naruto. With the alternatives being either Naruto or Anko turning out to be an *sshole, or a real discussion between the two to clear things up not having happened yet, I chose to assume that you didn't design the pair's characters as that petty and thus the talk hasn't happened yet. Which in term means Naruto is hesitant to bring it up with Anko, which while not exactly heroic is still somewhat understandable. He was an attention-starved orphan who quickly gained a lot of loved ones, he simply doesn't know how to handle the rift that suddenly opened between them.
