No idea which episodes were these - yep, ramen was a favorite of Naruto, if it’s about that; maybe the beginning of the show (?).
Anyway, you like what you like.
The show is long, not One Piece long, but still, the story unfolds after the first few episodes, especially after the first 20 or so episodes; a big villain then appears, the story becomes more complex, things are more complicated, the Naruto world is then being built and improved piece by piece, arc after arc.
There are some great fights, Amazing Arcs and Villains, known and later revealed motivations/motives, it’s a Masterpiece, if looked overall, but the filler is of a far less quality, however it can be entertaining,but totally skippable.
Being one of my favorite shows it’s why I wrote this in the first place.
