Hmm, I dunno, if they did add fillers they'd better be short or it'll be a total fail.
In the anime, Pain should be heading for Konoha, like right now, and Naruto has a lot to do, so...
As for when it will come...
The Jiraiya vs. Pain arc is more or less from episodes 125 to 134(Assuming all the stuff with Sasuke gets caught up in the next episode...) 10 episodes. Note that 127 & 128 were basically semi-filler. In the manga it went from 363 to 383. Now, for the Itachi vs. Sasuke arc, it's about the same, from 383 to 403. If it goes as quickly as the last, then expect about 10 episodes for that.
Now, once you get past that part it's up to you where to draw the line on where exactly the "Naruto vs. Pain" arc starts. Arguably, it starts right there at 404. The actual fight, though, would still be a ways off.
Assuming no major filler arcs, it'll be getting to that point around the end of the year. The part where Naruto gets back to Konoha will likely be sometime around April, though... March if they skip the battle at unraikyo for now, and I have a feeling they will.
