I just started watching _Naruto_ on Netflix and it shows there are 9 seasons,
but people say that there are only 5 though.

Should I only watch season 1-5 then go on to _Naruto Shippuden_?

What season should I watch Naruto till, 5 or 9?


**The confusion is possibly caused by non-standardized use of season
numbering.**

The _Naruto_ anime consists of 220 episodes.

In Japan, the anime is divided into [5
seasons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Naruto_episodes#Series_overview):

  1. Season 1: 57 episodes
  2. Season 2: 43 episodes
  3. Season 3: 41 episodes
  4. Season 4: 42 episodes
  5. Season 5: 37 episodes

On the other hand, Netflix seems dividing each season into 26 episodes,
resulting in a total of 9 seasons. This is the same as the series numbering
used by UK's DVD Box, [Naruto
Unleashed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Naruto_episodes#DVD).

So, all-in-all, both are possibly referring to the whole 220 episodes.

Though, perhaps coincidentally, Netflix's Season 5 ends on episode 130. As per
[Can I start watching Naruto Shippuden after Naruto Ep 135 and not miss
anything? (Story wise)](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/48314/2516), almost
all episodes after episode 135 are considered fillers, so it might be okay to
skip Season 6-9 and continue to _Naruto Shippuden_.
