There have been several attempts at a “Naruto Kai” before, but this one by Kloggmankey on Reddit is the absolute best one.
“Naruto Kai is a fan project dedicated to removing filler, padding and any other executive-minded nonsense that made the mess that it is.” Here are two ways to watch the entirety of Naruto while skipping the unnecessary filler episodes. Naruto is definitely worth watching, but don’t waste your time with filler arcs.
In fact, Naruto has an insane stretch of filler starting from episode 136 all the way to episode 220, which is when Naruto Shippuden officially begins. Naruto (Part 1) is 44% filler while Naruto Shippuden (Part 2) is 43% filler. That’s because Naruto is notorious for filler arcs-episodes that deviate from the main storyline and, in most cases, fail to offer any meaningful character growth or plot progression.
