There's no way. I mean, what would be the point? They probably have some of the post timeskip episodes done already. I don't see how a hiatus would be beneficial for the animation company. They would just lose money over it and for no reason. Four weeks isn't enough time to make a huge gap between the manga and the anime. You can sleep easy tonight, Yatanogarasu.
