Anyway, if the arc focuses on the Fire Country's history then it I think it's got some potential. One of the biggest gripes I had with the first fillers is they always involved people we had no reason to care about. At least with a focus on the Fire country they'll have to address Konoha somehow as well as stuff that actually pertains to the characters we already know.
