@TU3 Wait - are you TRYING to insult me? If so just stop; it's trollish and it's not working. I'm going to comment again. First off, the Shyamalan thing was a joke, since all of his recent films are bad.

Naruto: Do people really hate it that much to the point where even Maile Flanagan hates it? I'll have to think about getting rid of it, then.

Sasuke: There was always tsundere for him. Always. And it'll be plenty interesting actually. After all, this is Sasuke we're talking about.

Kakashi: Well, his basic character won't change. But there will be MORE emphasis on his Team Minato losses. Like I said: subtext helps.

Hiruzen: In a way, it's not really a "I wanna be Hiruzen!" thing, since it was always to gain the villagers' acknowledgement. I guess we could have Hiruzen as some sort of inspiration, though, since we can't include Iruka's lesson in there.

Tenten: Of course!

Sannin: They're not necessarily going to go through more pain. It's just going to be shown more. And Sakura and Sasuke did overcome their masters' mistakes; Sakura didn't wallow in depression whenever she lost someone/something, and Sasuke was able to overcome his obsessions and be able to return home (I highly doubt Orochimaru came back to Konoha). Overall, it's just emphasis on the theme of "the next generation", which I came to adore.

Itachi: Here's how I view it. When Itachi meets Naruto and acts a bit kinder than he should, it leaves the audience wondering "Okay, is he a good guy or a bad guy?". When we discover what he did, they then go "All right, he's a bad guy". Then Obito reveals the truth, and everyone goes "HOLY CRAP HE WAS SERIOUS THAT WHOLE TIME!". I find that great.

Whole film: Each of the six arcs should be covered in about 15-20 minutes, which is plenty enough to include enough content. Also, I've always seen each arc as one story. Unlike The Last Airbender, which had to include 20 stories in one package, I have just six at may disposal, and The Last Airbender actually included more than six stories in the end. It's also EXTREMELY typical of moviemakers to introduce a large quantity of major characters in the middle of a film, so don't use that excuse. The flowing thing can be a problem, but I've decided to fix that with filming techniques such as narration and keeping alive the concept of Naruto being Hokage, which really is the core of the franchise.
