But Unfortunately They Probably Had To Heavily Shorten It Otherwise The Fans Would've Raged About Canon Some More. It's an idiom. The entire filler isn't interesting, it's everything we already know about itachi. Smart, capable, early Acadamy finisher, contemplating the village etc. It's paint by numbers.

It's clear that Pierrot doesn't give a fuck about length (or canon). Why would they now.

and the cat thing. oh god why the cat thing. as silly a concept as ninja cats are they are actually canon, Sasuke, Suigetsu, Jugo and Karin stop off at this building to get supplies from the ninja cats that live there, sasuke even gives them catnip as payment. Doesnt make it any less retarded the episode focused on a shit mission like that which is irrelevant compared to the Obito and Tenma part.
