What's Before Time-Jump?

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

I have a Time-Jump related question: What's before Time-Jump?


There's that period of time from the moment the Naruto series starts, to the moment Naruto goes off to train with Jiraiya so he can save Sasuke. We conveniently call it "Naruto part 1," or "pre-Time-Jump."

Then there's that period of time from the moment naruto came back, to now and forever. We call it "Time-Jump," or "post-Time-Jump," or something equally simple that can get everyone on the same page.

But what do we call that period of time after the "pre-Time-Jump" ends, and before "post-Time-Jump" starts? (I'm not talking about Kakashi Gaiden, I'm talking about Naruto timeline.)

I could say, "after Naruto goes off to train with Jiraiya so he can save Sasuke," but that's really long. I just wish there was a simple, easy way -- a name -- to refer to this particular period of time in Naruto timeline.

So, is there such a word or phrase for between Part 1 and Time-Jump?
