Yeah I forgot to mention her. But it wouldn't hurt to say that people won't be missing anything particularly important regarding the plot (except Toneri's prediction and the Jougan) even if they skip the first 50 episodes of the anime. Only people who care about the characters along with the story will find the 50 episodes useful. Many people who are just waiting to see Kawaki's appearance or to check whether Naruto's alive will definitely find these episodes boring.
