All you have to understand is that in this episode: Everyone returns to the Hidden Leaf Village and resume their training. Ino makes a request to also become Tsunade's student and everyone says goodbye to Naruto, who is about to head off for his two-and-a-half years of training with Jiraiya (who returned with information about Akatsuki's plans) You could skip this episode. It is optional.

I will update this post when a filler ep or filler arc surfaces again or when the series ends. If I made any mistakes with the guide pm me and I will fix it right away.

Thank you :)
If you don't count the fillers, Naruto Shippuden is indeed a good shounen Anime.

Oh man, are you the same dude that made the same thread in Bleach? well, nevertheless I love you for this.

Fixed.

thanks :)

I read the manga but still set through the fillers guess I like self torture but the manga is really good and Naruto is coming close to an end.

Thanks this is very helpful mate.

Thanks.

Fillers are suppose to continue into the new year.

Thanks! Bookmarked this guide. I personally watch them all but I have friends who this will be a great help to get them back into the show!

Not planning to re-watch the whole Naruto series but this is very convenient! Thanks for your work TS! :D

Updated! naruto returns to the main plot. http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-746590/naruto-back-to-the-storyline

Your guide is great and you put alot of work into it. How ever there is only one little error. Episode 98 of the original naruto anime series is canon, so don't skip that.

Everything else is good, shipuuden is very complicated especially since some of the fillers like the 12 guardian ninja arc kind of blends with the canon material so you did a good job of doing that.

I guess canon starts tomorrow, can't wait for it.

lol took a break from watching naruto shippuuden, can't believe all the episodes ive missed were all fillers, thanks for this :D

you are GODLY... i love you

If i were you, i would just watch the fillers, skipping them all you may find your self a little lost in the story, because some of the manga material is mixed in with the canon.

Fixed and updated. Thanks for the feedback everyone! Tell me if you spot any fillers i missed!

Thank you, this is a great list!

I took a break from Naruto just when the fillers started and after trying to catch up I'm amazed (and annoyed) at how many fillers there are. They usually don't bother me that much but this was waaaay too much for me. I'll keep watching but it's good to know that I'm currently only five eps away from the main storyline!

You know i couldn't help but notice after glancing through some of the filler arcs, their are a few episodes that have "canon" material mixed in them that you missed. I will try and help clarify this and quote each section so you understand it and then change it if you want.

First of all, the original series naruto is fine, its shippuuden that needs the patch work

"Skip at 57-71"

178-181 - manga/filler
skip 182-196
most of these involve information related to the taka group, and also some related events to tobi. If you watch the anime, you know what im taking bout.


Some of these are very brief well others are mostly at the end of each arc coming into the manga so they are relevant but for anyone who wants every possible canon material, they might want to consider watching these. I would give explanations for the sake of spoilers i'll leave it up to you to judge, you can take a look at the episodes i marked in question and see for your self, anyways there ya go!
