Naruto Watch Order: Where to Start

720+ episodes, roughly 40% filler. Here's the canon path. Here's the spoiler-free order — what to watch, what to skip, and where each piece fits.

1

Naruto (220 eps)

The canon story wraps around episode 135. Episodes 136–219 are almost all filler — skim or jump to Shippuden.

2

Naruto Shippuden (500 eps)

The biggest skippable filler runs: 57–70, 90–111, 144–151, 176–196, 223–242, 284–295, 303–320, 347–361, 394–413, 427–450. When in doubt, check a filler list.

3

The Last → Boruto: Naruto the Movie

The two canon films, in that order, after Shippuden.

4

Boruto (optional)

The next-generation sequel series — only if you're still hungry.

💡 Watching canon-only nearly halves the episode count. Don't feel guilty — even lifelong fans skip the filler.
