Maybe they just wanted to start with the main story right away. They could show it later at some point, when they would otherwise just insert fillers.

They seriously should have thrown it in the middle of the filler gauntlet, as a sort of intermission from the stupidity.

The smart thing to do would be to stretch Kakashi Gaiden out and give it a full theatrical treatment for the upcoming movie. I'm sure they could find some cool stuff to help pad things out. I mean they did it in the manga by adding little additional scenes that helped stretch things out.
Remember the fight between Temari and Sauske in the forest during the konoah crush arc? That never happened in the manga, but it was a short little thing that could be justified within the time frame. I'd love to see something like that done with KG. Just imagine a ten minute segment of highly choreographed fight scenes as the fourth single handedly takes out two dozen rock nins.
Or how about an extended flashback featuring his father, the white flash where we get to see why he was comparable to that of the sanin. Honestly there's more then enough material to be expanded upon seeing as how KG felt rather rushed in the first place. Then again that's me just hoping realistically the fourth movie is gonna be as mediocre just as the other three have been.
Or they might have some sort of compromise. Generic filler villain comes from the east. Time jump naruto rushes into action, but is knocked back. Kakshi relates the tale of his past of the sharingan in a thirty minute flashback. Naruto relearns a lesson about the importance of friendship and triumphs over the evil filler villain.
Yeah for all.
Most realistically studio Pierrot will do it as an OVA. Which wouldn't be that bad either.
Spoilers
When Team 7 goes to Sunagakure, Chiyo-baachan mistakes Kakashi for his father. Unless the KG airs as like a special sometime soon, it'll be bad for the non-manga readers.
From looking at the episode titles up at ANN, it seems as if the animators learned their lesson from all the filler crap we've been watching in that they seem to be trying to stretch out the episodes, similarly to what "LobsterMagnet" just stated about the Sasuke vs. Temari battle. Also similarly, I think the Kakashi Gaiden will actually be 1 hour special, like episode 4 & 5 of Naruto: Shippuden because almost immediately after Part II's story begins, they go right to Sunagakure.
So to prevent confusion, my guess is that:
a. they'll mention the mission to Sunagakure
b. Kakashi will get Sakura and Naruto prepared
c. Sakura and Naruto go off to get their stuff ready
d. camera focuses on Kakashi either looking at the gravestone or the picture of his team when he was a genin
e. Kakashi Gaiden
Sounds legitamate, right?
That sounds good to me.. Hope it's something like that.. A nice flashback.Originally Posted by kimbap629
