[Anime] Naruto

Out of all the anime filler so far was there anything more revealed than

Spoiler:

1) Hinata's version of the Chakra Whirl, 2) Part of Anko's past?

The fake Rock and Gai really annoyed me, making me feel that I really wasted 30 minutes of my life moreso watching that particular episode. The Noroimusha thing bothered me a lot too, knowing that the odds of Naruto and group ever returning to these village is slim to none.
There's no lasting connection in helping everyone in these villages overcome their feelings, since we never really see them after the group leaves, in each case.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Break from Naruto?
Add the Nano country into the mix of countries Naruto helps out that we're not likely to ever see again. Stubborn princess, and a trio of invading ninjas with some kooky jutsus and standard "I'll protect you!" fare.

Next episode preview appears to be of Ino and ugly people. Ugh.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

At first the switching back and forth between Kakashi vs. Sakura+Naruto, and Deidara vs. Gaara was sort of suspenseful in Ep. 4, but they really drew it out more than necessary. Of course it's fun to see Sakura's Tsunade-strength and Kakashi's supersonic hand seals, but watching Deidara dodge sand in 5 minute bursts throughout the episodes leaves something to be desired.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
