If you're new to Naruto and prefer to watch the anime and not read the manga, or if you want to watch canon only episodes and don't know which ones they are, here is a list of canon only episodes.

Naruto: 1-25, 27-96, 98, 100, 107-135, 220. Episodes 98-99 and 141 are a mixture of both filler and canon.

Naruto Shippuden: 1-56, 72-89, 113-126, 129-143, 152-169, 172-175, 179, 197-222, 243-256, 261-270, 272-278, 282-283, 296-302, 321-346, 362-375, 378-387, 391-393, 414-415, 418, 420-421, 424-426, 458-459, 463, 469-479, 484-485.

Episodes 54-56, 71, 89-90, 112-113, 127-128, 176, 178-181, 338, 346, 350-351, 360, 388, 415, 417-419, 426, 451, 458, 462, 469, 471, 478-479, 484-485 are a mixture of both filler and canon.

For those of you who only watch the English dubbed, the latest episode on Crunchyroll is episode 361 of Naruto Shippuden. The episodes that aren't listed are filler only and therefore you don't need to watch them. Hopefully this list helped you out.
