"A New Chuunin Exam" Starting January 8, 2015

[artondrius]

Beginning on January 8th, episode 394 titled "Naruto's Back - Friend's Tracks: A New CHuunin Exam"

Synopsis
]After his fight against Madara, Naruto is still between life and death. His friends from Konoha and Tsunade, concerned for his survival, remember that he has always been their symbol of hope, even when he wasn't there.

We're back in the past. Two years have passed since Sasuke left the village of Konoha. While Naruto and Jiraiya continue their training trip, the hidden villages of Konoha and Suna are discussing co-organizing the next Chûnin exam since the incident with Orochimaru.

Gaara proposes, for his first mission as Kazekage, to organize the exam in his village. While everyone's concerned about Akatsuki, someone else is making their movement in the shadows. Will the Chûnin exam go as planned?

ALSO
Fuu, the seven tailed Jinchuriki will also be in the arc.Judging by the manga/databooks, Fuu was captured by Akatsuki before Gaara during that timeskip. Perhaps Akaktsuki will be showing up in this arc as well!? It is unknown, but I believe it very likely they will capture her at the end of the arc.

The path to friendship."

 

[SSU]

We need an Akatsuki arc. This sounds okay and all but why don't they make filler that we actually want to see?

 

[Cfighter]

I still cannot even fathom why we're getting this arc now. The manga is over, just carry on with the canon. Save all these specialty filler arcs for after the canon, it'll give more of a nostalgic feeling that way AND they can focus all of their resources into making the best canon episodes [quality wise] that they can make and then pool their resources into making the best filler specials they can make. Its a win win scenario if they just finish the canon, but now we have to be interrupted yet again for this nonsense.

OT: probably deidara

It's actually inferred throughout the series that each of the members are assigned one of the tailed beasts. Being that Diedara took down Gaara, it is very unlikely that Fuu was Diedara's target.

EDIT: Whoops, my bad, this idea isn't inferred, it is directly stated:

Yep, Diedara most definitely did not have Fuu as a target until Akatsuki members began to drop like flies.
