Parts of this episode are pure manga. Parts are not. The only episodes you should skip are the ones that are 100% filler as mentioned on animefiller list. Man been dropping this exact list for the past 8 months :D
Manga Canon Episodes (do not skip):
1-6, 8, 10-13, 17, 22, 25, 31-36, 42, 48, 50-51, 61-62, 64-65, 67-68, 73, 75-82, 84-96, 107-111, 115-125, 128-129, 132-135
Mixed Canon/Filler Episodes (do not skip, as these are the ones that Raven refers to when he says they drop nuggets of manga cannon in the filler episodes):
7, 9, 14-16, 18-21, 23-24, 27-30, 37-41, 43-47, 49, 52-60, 63, 66, 69-72, 74, 83, 98, 100, 112-114, 126-127, 130-131, 141, 220
PURE Filler Episodes (SKIP THESE):
26, 97, 101-106, 136-140, 142-219
Anime Canon Episodes (optional, watch if you want):
99
The reason why 142-219 is a huge berth of filler is because at this point in time the Anime had caught up to the manga. So to give the writer time to generate more cannon story, the anime studio made filler episodes from 2005 to 2007
Thanks for coming to mans TED talk

animefillerlist.com has the most accurate list i’ve seen ...episode 55 was correctly considered mixed filler/cannon so you guys can check that out to refer to moving forward .... the real real filler is usually when they get sent off to some random mission to save random people

To Explain the Hokage’s in Naruto:
Each Hokage is picked based on that ninjas skill, lineage, achievements or accomplishments. So far in the leaf village there are only Four that was Hokage over the expand of years (not specifying for spoiler reasons) and a Hokage can only leave his position if another Hokage is already picked and can be reinstated if the current Hokage has died (which happened with the Third and Fourth Hokage)
