I'll note that by "INO" I meant In Name Only, as in characters that don't get more than a namedrop in canon and so are functionally OCs, not a Naruto reference. Characters changed so far from canon characterization that they're practically OCs count too, but unless that change is the focus of a "for want of a nail" or VERY well plotted and explored they tend to break more than they fix. Other than that caveat I mostly agree with you, especially about the jump-cut feel of the crapilogue.
