Oy, this filler arc was as long as the Paradise Life on a Boat with 20 full episodes of nothing but waiting before the battle against Madara would resume. At least it was a good thing there was third exam as that would have been more irritating.

Hopefully with all these months of waiting by now I am sure that things are planned out for adapting the remaining manga chapters which is the only apparent reason why this filler arc had to be used first.
