Naruto watch order
Harsh has watched this series
How to watch
Start with Naruto (2002), then Naruto: Shippuden, then Boruto. Episodes 136 to 219 of the original series are almost entirely filler, so you can go from episode 135 to episode 220, where Naruto leaves with Jiraiya, and then start Shippuden. Shippuden has long filler stretches as well, so keep a filler guide open. The films are standalone and optional except two canon ones: The Last, which sits just before Shippuden's final episodes, and Boruto: Naruto the Movie, which leads into Boruto.
