Well, I'm not so disappointed that they did not extend the fights. I mean, they could have extended a bit more Shinki vs Metal (nice reminder of Gaara vs Rock) but for the other fights I think it would have been pointless an extension... I only hope they will show nice and long fights for the third round. I also wonder where is Shinki's puppet.

Said so, the only really interesting part of the episode was the Chojuro/Sasuke/Gaara one. Urashiki was probably after what little of Shukaku's chakra was left into Gaara... and I wonder if that means we will have some "Akatsuki-like" scenes where the three Ootsutsuki, or at least Urashiki himself, will capture the other Tailed Beasts. The only thing that baffled me is... why speaking only to Sasuke and Chojuro? I can get why Gaara would tell that to Sasuke, but Chojuro doesn't have any direct connection to a Tailed Beast, to the Ootsutsuki or to Gaara himself (for what we have been shown since now). It would have made more sense to call all the Kages, or only Sasuke and Darui (since maybe he still doesn't know that the Eight Tails is been captured)
