Pre-Shippūden Filler Arcs

In the anime, a number of additional episodes were added to the story to allow the manga a chance to get ahead. Some take place after the Search for Tsunade Arc, but most occur after the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. In total, these additional episodes last for almost two years. All feature Naruto Uzumaki assisting members of the Konoha 18 with a mission. The filler arcs span from episodes 136-220 of the Naruto anime series. For information on the arcs, see the main article

Summary
After the anime of Naruto had concluded the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, to make sure the anime did not overtake PartII of the manga, the makers instead animated several filler arcs to take place before Naruto left for his two year training with Jiraiya.

In these arcs, Naruto is sent on various missions with the other members of the Konoha 18, but while there is little character development for himself, the filler arcs instead focused on the development of the supporting characters.

Now in The Life of a Kunoichi Shinobi, the filler arcs focus on Kristin's character development as well. Kristin made appearences in all of the filler arcs of the anime, however she had some major roles in some and minor in others, the ones she has major appearances in will be elaborated on throughout the story, her minor appreances will be added in and elaborated on a little, making them more along the lines of Original Chapters.

The roles she had major parts in contribute to her character development and forshadow certain skills that she uses in PartII. Kristin'a main character development in the filler arcs focuses on her healing from Sasuke's defetion and her growing relationship with Shikamaru; as well as her honing her demon powers and her becomming Lady Dyna's apprenctice in Elemental Medical Ninjutsu (the art of using the natures of chakra to heal various injuries dealt to the body).
