Out of the 500 episodes in Naruto Shippuden, around 295 are canon. The rest are fillers, so feel free to skip them.
Hot take: Fillers aren't all bad, but if you're just after the main story, focus on the 295 canon episodes out of 500.
I went through the whole series recently, and trust me, you only need to watch about 295 episodes to get the full story minus the filler.
