In the world of anime, I feel some names will forever be evergreen. Animes that have not only succeeded to bring people from various cultures together but have also managed to touch the hearts of millions. One of these anime, I feel, is undoubtedly Naruto. Naruto is by far one of the best anime to be ever made, and it comes as no surprise that it is one of the three crowns of shounen. If you haven’t watched Naruto, Dattebayo you really haven’t watched anything.
Our readers at this time must be aware that the Naruto anime television show is by no means a short anime. Spanning over 220 episodes in Naruto and 500 in Naruto Shippuden. The fillers can get a little annoying, especially when they come right between a big fight or an important revelation. Naruto has one of the highest filler percentages of 41% and that is why we have compiled a filler list for our readers that fans can go through and watch the anime at their own pace. You can also check the Naruto Watch Order guide to watch the entire Naruto-Verse in chronological order.

Naruto Plot
12 years ago, the village of Konohagakure was attacked by the nine-tailed demon fox called “Kyubi”. A monster so huge and powerful that its appearance into the realms of humanity is termed a natural disaster. In order to protect the village and its people, the 4th Hokage (the village head), at the cost of his life, sealed the Demon fox’s soul and powers into a young infant boy, the young boy who later grows up to be named “Naruto”.
The 4th Hokage wanted naruto to be labelled as a hero, the boy who saved everyone’s life. However, the truth was far different. The truth is that everyone in his village hates Naruto. Everyone blames him for the incidents that took place 12 years ago and stay away from him. Being an orphan and being hated by his own people makes Naruto a childish and extremely naughty boy. The one constantly causing trouble in the village in order to get attention. However, deep down, the boy harbours a lot of sadness in his heart.
Even though Naruto isn’t born with any talents, he still wants to one day become the Hokage. The man respected by everyone in the village. However, it seems he is unaware of his own powers, carrying the soul of the demon fox. Naruto strives to one day become the strongest shinobi ever seen, but with great powers comes great responsibilities.
