I do not know why everyone is calling this a filler I mean Itachi passed his memories onto Sasuke so I think it would be classified as a Flashback of Itachi.

PS: I would also say this is Cannon material in some way...

The Itachi Gaiden Series is written by Kishi and is a part of Itachi's story.

I'd say its more in line with the manga but most of it is not canon unfortunately, but still a good filler compared to what we've got before.

This anime is filler. The novels weren't written by Kishi and anything that isn't a production of Kishimoto, the series's author is considered to be filler unless he specifically stated it is Cannon.

Like in the Last Naruto the Movie he took the backseat in the development of the movie.

Just because a filler fills in the gaps (and actually does a good job like this one), that doesn't mean its suddenly classified as cannon.

it ain't filler if it doesn't cause inconsistencies with the official author's works

Becoz Itachi deserves more than just one plot.

why you want it to be canon away ? does it hurt you as it is filler or since you want to use filler feats to argue with other members :lol ???

Fair point. He supervised The Last and got a writing credit for Original Story by Kishimoto. These novels he just read and said it fits the story.

It's not filler. People just don't like that Itachi is getting more feats is all. Itachi is God.

there's a reason why those episodes aired during the filler period.

It was a filler, it didn't even follow the novels the eps were supposedly being adapted from.
