What is there left to cover in the filler arc?
There are so much shit that needs to cover:
- We're at the Desert Phase and we still have Prelimary and Final Phase left
- Fuu the 7 tails who we have yet to see her time to shine in this arc.
- Akatsuki will intervene and capture the 7 tails since she were the first Jiinchiruke to be captured before Gaara
- We still havn't see Team 10 and other formidable Team squad members
- Pain send their Rain Ninja to participate in the Chuunin Exam and among one of them is the Future Animal Path of Pain which she will die in this arc. What will become of them
So this isn't just chuunin phase and the akatsuki we're dealing with, but also Asuma/Kurenia/Gai/Kakashi still have roles to do and how will Gaara manage as a Kazekage to deal with the sand rebels. We have ALOT to cover so it's not possible to end in 5 -10 episodes especially the past 3 episode have been entirely focused on team Neji and Shira and next episode is still heavenly on them. This filler arc is going to have the same length as Part 1 Chuunin exam.
