Naruto Filler List
Last updated: April 4, 2026
Naruto is an anime series that ran from 2002 to 2007. In total 220 episodes of Naruto were aired. With a total of 90 reported filler episodes, Naruto has a high filler percentage of 41%.
The story follows Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja with a sealed demon fox spirit inside him, as he trains to become the strongest leader in his village — the Hokage. Set in a world of rival ninja villages and ancient jutsu techniques, Naruto deals with themes of loneliness, perseverance, and the bonds of friendship. Along the way, he forms a team with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno under the guidance of Kakashi Hatake, facing increasingly dangerous enemies while uncovering dark secrets about his own past. The filler arcs in Naruto are mostly concentrated near the end of the series, between episodes 136 and 219, so many fans choose to skip that stretch and jump straight into Shippuden.
