"What the fuck" is the simplest reaction I have to the past few episodes that transpired.

A longer, less crude reaction I have is, well, they're taking the base plot, crushing it into a garbage compactor, sprinkling a bit of other plot points that have been run through a blender, and then inserting original stuff into the mix.

The concept of Naruto with living parents was good. The concept of Sasuke with a living family and even joining the police force was good. The concept of Team Jiraiya being good guys was good. But, you know, good things cost too much, so things went to shit fast. Same reason the only good IT filler, Killer Bee Rappuden, was only allotted 2 episodes.
