They seem to be based on manga facts, but they are technically filler... right?

Nope, they are canon, Kishi is the scriptwriter of this arc!

Since it was publicized, i guess it is, i don't think any other filler arc has gotten this much attention, tho i might be wrong

No they are not. It didnt happen in the manga. Even if Kishi did write it, it wouldn't make it canon just like Road to Ninja.

I don't think it's canon. I still consider it to be canon in my own world though, minus the terrible smoke clan episodes.

The thing is, that is important as to the untold story regarding Tenzou's past, although there were WAYY to many flashbacks to him in the test tube thing

It's called a "gaiden". Sorta like a flashback.

No, some things are innaccurate and it has nothing to do w/ Kishimoto, the anime studio comes up w/ it. It's just filler. You can enjoy it but don't look at it as fact.
