<p>The Naruto anime is broken up into two "Series". The first is Naruto, which covers events up until the 3 year time jump in the manga. The second is Naruto: Shippūden, which starts after that jump and continues onwards. Both series have a fair share of anime exclusive plots, so here's the breakdown of Anime exclusive plots:</p>

</ul>

</ul>

<p>Also of note is the Kakashi backstory "Kakashi Gaiden" is shown in the Shippūden (Ep 119 - 120), which is out of order as to how it appeared in the Manga (Chp 239 - 244). In the manga, it was between what became the first and second series (the time jump).</p>

<p>Additionally, none of the movies are based on Manga plots.</p>

<p>For both the original Naruto series and Shippuuden, which episodes should I watch if I want to avoid the filler? I'm only interested in core plot and character developments.</p>

<p>To make this question a bit more concrete: Which episodes are directly based off the manga, and which were produced with unique content for <em>only</em> the anime? At what points did the anime "catch up" to the manga and require non-manga-related content to continue airing episodes while the manga produced new content?</p>

Also of note is the Kakashi backstory "Kakashi Gaiden" is shown in the Shippūden (Ep 119 - 120), which is out of order as to how it appeared in the Manga (Chp 239 - 244). In the manga, it was between what became the first and second series (the time jump).

Additionally, none of the movies are based on Manga plots.

Source for most of this information was [the Naruto Wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Plot_of_Naruto). "Shadow of ANBU" info from [Naruto HQ](http://www.narutohq.com/naruto-shippuden-fillers.php)
