I wasn't exactly refering to the entire story circle itself, but more to... the employment of stylistic devices, though that was a very nice explanation and prediction, dear. As it was also the case in your example, what I was merely trying to say was that the whole scene needs to have a point, meaning it needs to be in some way related to something that is going to, or already did happen in this story, which was in your case the Taka members saving Sarada. Kishimoto is not the kind of author who employs the distancing effect in his work to maintain an authentic atmosphere. Everything he writes and creates somehow is of relevance for either the plot or the comedic part of the show. Now if there was really no point in that whole doubting the marriage thing and Sarada's story is exactly what she thought it was for 12 years of her life, meaning that there was absolutely nothing to her accusations and supposed clues, then this entire scene could've very well been cut, because indicating something that eventually meant absolutely nothing doesn't seem like something Kishimoto does.
