It looks more decent, but its still a big damn filler, 18 episodes to just kidnap gaara and rescue him... nothin else.

no it's the main storyline in the first naruto jiraya said that that Akatsuki will wait 2 or 3 years and now those years passed and they start catching the people who had those "demons" sealed in them....
Not everything is about Sasuke...or Orochimaru
If you wanna know what happens i'll post it here below
SPOILER WARNING[/color]
In Part II, one such effort proves successful in at least finding Sasuke, though Sasuke's rapid increase in strength allows him to quickly defeat Naruto, Sakura, and the newer members of Team 7. While he attempts to kill his former comrades, Sasuke is persuaded to spare them in case they can defeat more members of Akatsuki, an organization which Itachi belongs to, and therefore make him easier to kill. Soon afterwards Sasuke turns against Orochimaru, feeling that he can learn nothing else from him and that Orochimaru is unworthy of having his body. Although Orochimaru attempts to take his body by force, Sasuke is able to turn the process against him, later reporting to have simply retained control of his body. With Orochimaru gone, Sasuke recruits Suigetsu Hozuki, Karin, and Jugo, former subordinates and experimental subjects of Orochimaru, to help him in finding and ultimately killing Itachi. After naming their group "Snake", the group splits up to find Itachi. Soon afterwards, Sasuke is forced into battle with Akatsuki member Deidara, who Sasuke is quickly able to force to his limits.
