Naruto fillers were better than these slow death episodes. At least you could tune out and do something else while watching filler, or skip it altogether if you wanted to. By them stretching it out like this, you still have to watch or you might miss the one or two relevant scenes in between several useless scenes of Naruto yelling or people standing around. I'd rather they paced normally, with a little filler like the Konoha Tourist Association bit, or stretch some scenes (preferably fight scenes), but what they are doing now is worse than the fillers.
