Turkish and Psyke said just about everything I was going to about the Shino-rific filler to come. I am also getting very tired of them reusing Orochimaru as a villain, or being connected to the villain, in every single friggin story.
You'd think there'd be more evil-doers in the world of Naruto, especially the way the series started out with Zabzua and the Yakuza boss, then the Sand and Sound alliance. But now it seems that its just "Orochimaru Orochimaru ACHOO!" "Wait, is that some new villain?" "Err... no, it's actually an Orochimarui obsessed follower dressed as Orochimaru, with a cold"
If the Water Country was in such turmoil (as all flashbacks and past stories have indicated) why aren't there any more bad guys coming out from there?
How about a Konoha team gets hired for a mission by an evil-doer with $ to spend, and then face tarnishing their nation's reputation or doing what is right? Some of those daimyos from the Chuunin exam main event looked pretty sleazy.... and Konoha proved they were the best... So why don't the slimeballs come a knocking asking for missions?
