Maybe they are starting a new series up and need more time. It seems like they are doing the same thing with Shippudden as they did with the first Naruto before the time skip. After Sasuke defected on his on accord you could skip past a bunch of filler stuff into Shippuden if you wanted.

Maybe that is why they are dragging this....I hope
