That's malicious. If anybody watches the whole of the Naruto anime, they should do themselves a favor and not skip this filler arc. Commemorating 500 episodes of the anime, the six-episode power arc follows a fully formed Team Kakashi as they investigate the recent attacks on a village by Kabuto.
This isn't so much an arc as it is a collection of about 17 smaller arcs that make up 2 years of pointless Naruto episodes. The manga of the original Naruto series ended with the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. The two years that followed in the original cartoon were all headache-inducing filler.
Still, any anime that makes it to 500 episodes is going to have some filler. Filler is a necessary evil to keep your favorite anime on the air long enough to tell the full story from its source manga.
In Episode 101 of the original "Naruto" series, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura have some goofy camaraderie for once. Even the ever-serious Sasuke is so intrigued by the idea of trying to get the great shinobi to take down his mask that he joins his teammates in hatching schemes to try to get beyond the veil.
These are the filler episodes you can skip without losing any of the storyline: 28, 170-171, 223-242, 257-260, 271, 279-281, 376-377, 416, 422-423, 427-450, and 480-483.
There are a few episodes that have no real importance to the overall plot and can be skipped: Episodes 1-5 (Chronicles of the Uchiha Clan) Episodes 22, 23, 29, 30 (Chuunin Exam Filler) Episode 64 (Kurenai's Decision Filler) Episodes 70-71 (Naruto in the Land of Tea Filler) Episodes 80, 81 (The Hero of Konoha Filler) ...

You won't miss anything by skipping all the Naruto filler episodes. The only filler in that large span of fillers I legitimately enjoyed was the very last filler adventure, episodes 216-220. These episodes involved the Konoha and Sand ninjas fighting together and just had some fun fights.
Each of these Ultimate Naruto Kai episodes is about 60 to 90 minutes long. That means Ultimate Naruto Kai is essentially 72 full-length movies that each have a satisfying beginning, middle, and end—all meaningful story, no filler content. Each episode is a separate download hosted on Mega.
There are several other points that you can miss by skipping the first part, but as I said first, it's not that you can't watch Shippuden directly, it's that it's better for you to grow with the characters since their first days.
Percentage wise bleach has the most fillers, since it has a total of:366 episodes.160 filler episodes.
The first part of Naruto consists of 220 episodes, of which 91 are filler episodes (more than 40%). Luckily, most of the "non-canon" episodes pile up in the final stretch, where there are more than 70 in a row, making it quite easy to dodge them.
Given that an average viewer watches around 5-6 episodes per day, or roughly 2 hours a day. It would take them about 174.3 days to watch the series to completion, and an additional 20.9 days to watch all the other media. For a grand total of 195.1 days total to watch everything.

The Kakashi Anbu Arc, this Arc is loved by most. If the arc had been placed elsewhere in the story like between The Kage Summit and the War Arc it would have been even better. This arc is simply something faun over, as it shows the horrors of Kakashi's youth and adolescence while showing us Obito pre-murder mindset.
But there's always at least one diamond in the rough, throughout the many episodes in both the original series and Naruto Shippudenthere's a decent handful of filler that isn't half bad and are definitely worth a watch.
While there are single filler episodes sprinkled here and there in the first 100 episodes of Naruto, the Land of Tea Escort Mission is the first full filler arc. It is the only mission that Team 7 goes on between the end of the Chunin Exams and Sasuke’s eventual defection to the Village Hidden in the Sound.
It is the second to last arc in the original Naruto anime before the time jump puts the story in Shippuden territory. In it, Naruto, Neji, and Tenten try to help a young man named Menma who has seemingly lost his memory and doesn’t know anything about who he is, as he tries to remember where he’s from.
In this mission, Naruto teams up with Hinata and Choji to travel to the Land of Vegetables to act as an escort for a group of merchants.
Naruto, Lee, and Sakura go on a mission to act as escorts for a wanted criminal named Gantetsu, along with Todoroki and a group of other guards. For plot reasons, Naruto ends up separated from his teammates and traveling only with Todoroki, who feels a lot of rage against Gantetsu, and Gantetsu himself.
11 Cursed Warrior Extermination Mission: Episodes 162-167. In this arc, Naruto once again teams up with Neji and Tenten, though Guy and Lee don’t join them on this mission, in order to investigate rumors of a warrior ghost in the nearby Land of Birds.
15 Mizuki Tracking Mission: Episodes 142-147. This arc mostly explains why Jiraiya, who immediately before this offered to take Naruto with him to train for three years, actually goes away for a while on a reconnaissance mission, giving Naruto a chance to participate in any number of filler missions in the meantime.
While episode 141 does wrap up the story of this arc, it also features Sakura making a major decision about her future as a ninja and Naruto is offered the chance to train with Jiraiya, both events that are actually a part of the manga canon and therefore might be worth checking out.
These "Naruto Shippuden" episodes have good stories and introduce some cool new abilities. We see a Land of Fire monastery full of formidable fighters, and any ninja story with legendary fighting monks is always awesome.
This is filler, a story about some leftovers from Orochimaru's fallen empire, and you don't have to watch it. Still, this could be worth watching, if only because it shows some amazing fighting and introduces cool new jutsu.
"Naruto Shippuden" Episodes 144 to 151 follow a filler arc with little to no impact on the main story, but of all the filler arcs, this is one of the most interesting. The main storyline is about a forbidden jutsu that can destroy whole villages. It is strangely reminiscent of an atomic bomb.
This stretch of filler takes place after the great arc in which Pain destroys Konoha, only to find salvation at the hands of Toad Sage-mode Naruto. Konoha has literally been flattened, yet Pain brought its inhabitants back to life after his conversation with Naruto.
Episodes 284 to 295 are filler, full of more flashbacks and stories that have no bearing on moving the main story or explaining anything about to happen. Yet there are a few exceptions which you should watch due to the fact that they not only work into the Great Shinobi War but also have pretty epic battles.
Again, here's a run you can mostly skip, but there are a few episodes in this filler stretch you'd want to watch.
Technically, this run is filler, but it's really good filler — as in you might not even notice it's filler if you don't know it's not manga canon. Either way, you should watch these episodes.
