Netflix numbering note

On Netflix, Naruto is split into seasons that don't line up with the original broadcast arcs — but episode numbers still run continuously from 1 to 220. Everything after episode 220 is Naruto Shippuden, which Netflix lists as a separate show starting over at its own episode 1. Follow the episode number, not the season position.
