unfortunately there is a tragic "disease" (read: cliche) that Naruto suffers from: they always have several fights at once (except during the anime's current arc, which is why it's one of my favorites) and skip back and forth between them. The Hokage-Orochi battle was especially plagued by this (they cut to their battle and then had NOTHING happen except the hand move a few inches...I'M NOT EXAGGERATING) Naruto-Gaara and Orochi-Hokage were excellent fights until the Hokage fight got into the "stalemate" and began continually interrupting the Naruto/Gaara fight.
It's not the first time (nor will it be the last) even during the Zabuza saga...well actually i detest the last few episodes of the Zabuza saga since the first 5 minutes of each episode was a recap of the previous one....NOT an enjoyable thing when you're watching episodes consecutively. It wasn't that exciting to cut from the Haku-Sasuke/Naruto fight to the stalemated Kakashi-Zabuza fight over and over again.
