Well, after 135 it gets fillerish. A few leftovers from the manga are spread out over the first fillers, but that's it.

If they timeskip September, the manga will have a headstart 40 episodes worth (normal 2 chapters => 1 episode ratio). So probably two seasons, then back to filler-country. Or they make the timeskip, and add little filler-arcs in between. But I sincerely doubt they can postpone the timeskip much longer. Jiraiya postponeing their training all the time gets ridiculous.

I just started watching naruto on episode 55 I think now So i have to hurry and catch up before fillers end

Too be more or less exact; to the date of this post 56 fillers have aired consequtively since the last fully manga inspired episode (one, maybe two, episodes of filler had a small portion of manga material in them) and from the titles of episodes released to date I would say the next 5 episodes will also be filler. After that I can't say, but I have 0 hopes for the Naruto anime and mange reconciliation, so when/if it does happen i'll be that much happier about it.

Something I just realized, it's been over a year since the fillers started, and I imagine several of you non-manga readers have forgotten parts of the original story. That being said, it's also quite possible that you won't like the material presented from the manga at all, there are obviously debates and such in the manga readers section so remember not to become too obsessed with the idea that the manga storyline will magically awe you completely and totally and you'll like it no matter what. Though I imaging a cohearant long term plot will be enough for many people to be happy again.

Say what?

When Naruto returns to its original storyline it will kick ass and all the non-manga readers will definitely have multiple orgasms. FULL STOP.

Well let's all hope, I don't see why the animiators are doing this, they are probably loosing alot of fanbase in Japan. I can't wait to hear about the American version views talk about the fillers not stopping!

I didn't like Naruto "no matter what" before the fillers but because it was a good series (and even the fillers are tolerable). And so it will be judged also after the fillers. And I believe this is true for great many people. No doubt among Naruto fans there are, as well, lots of viewers who do have obsessive opinions, but that's their choice. Whatever floats your boat is fine. We are here for fun, and what's fun is personal for everybody.
