Naruto is one of the most popular anime series to date. After the first release in 2002 Naruto reached a landmark of 220 episodes and it was a great success. but after the final episode, the anime fans all over the world were thrilled and anxious about part 2 or Naruto Shippuden.
The first episode of Naruto Shippuden aired on February 15 of the year 2007 and soon after its release, it became a major hit in the anime industry.
Naruto Shippuden is the continuance of the naruto series after part 1 which left the fans at quite a cliff hanger.
Naruto has spent over 2 years in training with Jiraiya and has acquired and unleashed a great number of powers and is ready to go back to his village to fulfill his dream of becoming the most powerful ninja of them all but he is yet to face the most fierce enemies in his journey.
Part 2 compared to part 1 unlocks a new world and introduces new characters but unlike part 1 they are mostly to support the main characters. Both the parts have their own ups and downs but comparatively part 1 was more of an even and equal balance of everything whereas part 2 is more of a bumpy ride with its own ups and downs. But that doesn’t make it any less interesting than the first one as it is full of emotional moments, the secret reveals, the anger and sadness, the ends and beginnings which just keeps you hooked to it to the very end.
If you are trying to find which of the episodes are fillers in order to simply avoid them then you have come to the right place.
About Naruto

Conclusion
Most people usually think that there are only 2 types of episodes one being the original story-driven episodes called the canon episodes and other being the fillers that are not part of the story development and hence can be skipped completely but that’s not the case.
These episodes can be divided into categories
Canon: The episodes which are completely based on the original manga.
Mostly canon: These episodes are also adapted from the manga but a very small part of them being filler which in this case can not be skipped as it also helps build the storyline.
Mostly filler: These episodes are mostly filler contributing very little to the story but a very small portion of then being canon which we suggest you don’t skip if you want to follow the story.
Filler: Now these are the episodes that are not part of the original manga and contribute nothing to the storyline (but are interesting any) so if you want to stick to the original storyline you can skip these fillers altogether.
Wondering how to find which episodes are which? Well, don’t worry we have compiled a very detailed list of all the episodes and categorized them accordingly alongside the release date and the episode name.
