If I had to pick a jinchuriki to make a filler arc out of it would been Yagura as we could of seen some shinobi politicking antics at least. Oh well. We saw Utakata's capture, but the actual fight was only shown in the filler flashback we got when Naruto met Edo Utakata in the anime. So even in that filler arc, we didn't quite see what we wanted.
