Who knows maybe after the 90 minute special we'll finally see the end of the fillers. A friend of mine said that recently there was some sort of article posted saying that the investors of studio pierrot are pissed because the fillers have effectly destroyed the naruto fan base in japan as well as abroad. Supposively there putting pressure on them to get there shit together and go one with part 2.

Take this comment with a huge grain of salt. I myself haven't seen the article and the site it's on is supposely down but If I do get my hands on it I'll be sure to post a link here.
