Fillers arent really to be discredited, they just fill in parts of history the manga never covered or introduce us to other new characters so that the Narutoverse would seem larger or something I guess. As someone who watched all of naruto before reading the manga: Yes. The Manga is surprisingly succinct, and in my opinion sometimes too succinct. On the other hand, the Anime provides a more complete picture (but is sometimes too drawn out). overall, i would say the Anime provides a much more balanced (in terms of development) character sheet.
