Ummm...Filler-removing doohicky!

what about stuff that happens in both the manga and anime, but out of order?
like when jiraiya had the flashback about the bell exercise in the anime, it was while they were going out to get tsunade....but in the manga, it happened back during the funeral episode when he was standing next to the log

even though both versions add that detail in, the anime one included all the filler stuff of naruto playing with those giant bells and recapping the survival training with kakashi

I actually think that worked better in the anime, because you have the temple bells sparking that memory.
