Remember the scene, Jiraiya pushed Naruto off the cliff! or Naruto in tailed
beast form when got stuck in Pain's Chibaku-tensai. They seem to have long
time conversation among themselves isn't it?

How much time does it take to fall from a cliff to hit the ground… But Naruto
and jinchuriki take their own time to come to an understanding. Same thing
goes while Naruto has conversation with Kyubi, Kushina and Minato for long
time! it takes several minutes but in reality it wouldn't be more than few
seconds.

How is the time managed?

How could time seem to be slowed down when a Host speaks with his Tailed Beast?


[Flexible
time](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TalkingIsAFreeAction) is an
[Artistic License](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArtisticLicense)
taken by the creators, and is generally considered acceptable since it serves
to narrate the story better, and this is quite common. Quoting TVTropes:

> Creators are allowed to be inaccurate if the inaccuracy serves the story
> better than accuracy would.

This feels unusual for anime adapted from the manga. In the manga, the panels
are not proportional to real life time. You can use more panels to describe
some events in more detail compared to others, even though they may occupy the
same amount of time. In the anime, however, the frame duration is proportional
to real life time, but the narration should follow the manga, which leads to
this anomaly.

In the examples you mentioned, if the anime creators had to keep the times
realistic, they would not be able to convey the same detail that Kishimoto-
sensei included in the manga, which would make for a poorer viewing
experience.

To elaborate on that point, there is another example near the start of the
series, when Naruto and Sasuke team up to rescue Kakashi from Zabuza's Water
Prison. Naruto then spends about 5 minutes explaining what his plan was, while
Kakashi and Zabuza wait! That is entirely impossible in a real battle, but
without it, the viewers would have no way of knowing what happened, and it
would not be interesting to watch.

Rather than dismissing this as "artistic license", I'd rather see it as time
passing differently in different dimensions, where "talking with the Kyuubi"
takes place in a special dimension inside the Junchuuriki. For instance, in
the [Tsukuyomi](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tsukuyomi) technique,
