Okay, seriously? Just because Naruto had a silent chapter 2 weeks ago (or last week, can't remember) and FT had one completely silent this week doesn't mean that Mashima deliberately ripped off Kishimoto. Like Miskos said, mangakas can plan their chapters ahead. Whoever planned out the FT or Naruto silent chapter first isn't known. But I'm very sure no one ripped off anyone.
