Naruto had some great story arcs despite the overabundance of fillers. Shippuden didn't start getting fillers till around the 4th or 5th season I think, then it seemed ever other episode of the main story they showed they showed another damned filler episode, then a whole arc that took several months to conclude since they only did an episode a week and each episode only really filled in a tiny bit. Plus they liked to flash back to a lot of what happened before padding out an episode so they really only showed about 5-10 min worth of story in a 22 min episode.
