God, if Sakura is involved in the next arc, I can almost guarantee that it will somehow invole them trying to locate or find a method of locating Sasuke. If not, I bet I know how the next filler will go. 1. Mission assigned to Genin, supposedly low rank mission or they'll assign a shit ton of genin to it. 2. Naruto and group get schooled by bad guy in first fight, and fairly easily. 3. The next time they fight the bad guy, the group beats his ass. 4. Rasengan for the finish.
Sigh, I wish they'd invole more of Shikamaru and/or Neji.
