[Predictions] How Long do you think the Kakashi Arc will run?

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

It's been confirmed that after this current filler Akatsuki arc and after the Kakashi arc iN February (which doesn't look that great IMO) the series will definitely return to the main canon story (which just happens to be another month of hashirama flashbacks, go figure)

The only problem is that in the official article it's been said canon episodes will run for 'most of the year'...

which raises the question, how long do you think the Kakashi arc will run? I've seen theories from 2 months to 5 months. 8 episodes seems reasonable to me but it absolutely cannot overstay it's welcome. Especially as the manga can definitely catch up with the anime at this point, definitely until August or so. Having fillers at such a crucial point (AGAIN) is just unacceptable. Whilst the filler isn't bad so far, it's out of place, reuses entire episode-long clips and isn't relevant anymore.

How long do you think the arcs will run?

Since the anime is catching up, so I guess 2 months is not too bad.

I'd prefer not to have it at all but if we must then 2 months is the absolute max before it starts overstaying it's welcome. It's not like before with the huge filler arc where we even had something good to return to. When we join back up with Naruto and Sasuke all we get is Neji's BS death and some Hashirama flashbacks that'll last another 2 months. Woo.

What we need is a filler arc similar to Konoha History Arc where every 2 episodes or so follows a different ninja from the series from all sorts of time periods. One story with Hanzo, one story with Mei, one episode with Zabuza, one episode with Asuma & the 12 guardian ninja etc. We'd get all the backstories we're missing and see some awesome fights that would never otherwise come up (Tobirama/GinKin unit, Hanzo VS Chiyo, Sound 4 VS Kimimaro etc)

Yeah coming this February, the amount of promotion and art they're doing for it intruiges me. The last time we got an official poster it was the awesome Chikara arc so they're making a big event out of it.

The opening and eding changes in 8 episodes (on April 3rd), so 8 episodes is the mos logical guess..
