It was a nice chapter and everything, but it still feels like Kishi is dragging his heels with the pace he's moving at. 17 pages with hardly any dialog, even if the developments were interresting, it's frustrating to see it move so slowly. Honestly, this chapter was probably worth 3-4 minutes of anime time, max. It makes you wonder how much time actually gets spent on the Naruto manga, especially compared to the other Shonen jump series.
