Answers:
Hey I don't know which part of Naruto you're at now, but anyway here's a list of the Naruto story arcs (for the anime from Wikipedia (I've left out the filler arcs, which are from episodes 136 to 220, though).
Introduction (Episodes 1-5):
This arc covers the introduction of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi, followed by the formation of Team 7.
Land of Waves (Episodes 6-9):
This arc covers Team 7's first major mission: protecting an expert bridge builder from a shipping magnate whose oppressing financial stranglehold over the country would be broken if the bridge were to be completed. It also revolves around their fight against Zabuza Momochi and his apprentice Haku. It introduces the recurring theme that fighting for those you care about makes you stronger. Naruto also defines and adopts his own "way of the ninja".
Chunin Exam (Episodes 20-67):
This arc covers Team 7's entrance into the Chunin exam and the exposition of several key characters, such as Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi, Jiraiya, Team Guy, Gaara, and the Rookie Nine (Naruto's old classmates). This is also the longest story arc in part 1, being 48 episodes long.
Invasion of Konoha (Episodes 68-80):
This arc covers the climax of Orochimaru's conspiracy to destroy Konoha, with a strong emphasis on the difference between fighting for one's own selfish ambitions as opposed to fighting for the sake of your important people. It is often grouped with the Chunin exam arc.
Return of Itachi (Episodes 81-85):
This arc covers a short visit of Sasuke's older brother, Itachi (and his partner, Kisame) to Konoha, in search of Naruto. This arc serves as exposition and introduction for Akatsuki and their interest in the tailed beasts, and sheds some light on the relationship between Itachi and Sasuke.
Search for Tsunade (Episodes 86-100):
This arc covers Naruto's and Jiraiya's search for Tsunade, so they can offer her the role of Fifth Hokage. In the meantime, Orochimaru and Kabuto also look for her, so they can try and get her to heal Orochimaru's arms. This arc also includes Naruto learning his signature move - the Rasengan.
Unmask Kakashi (Episode 101, filler):
This story covers Team 7 trying to see the face hidden behind Kakashi's mask.
Land of Tea (Episodes 102—106, fillers):
This arc is the first of the filler arcs, which covers a small stand-alone adventure where Team 7 helps Ibiki Morino's younger brother, Idate Morino, win a race with very high stakes, and learn that he is more than the coward he thought he was. It also reinforces Sasuke's point of view in the next arc.
Sasuke Retrieval (Episodes 107-135):
This arc covers Sasuke's decision to seek Orochimaru for more power so he can avenge his clan, and his flight from the Leaf Village. Most of the focus is on the team chasing Sasuke, consisting of Shikamaru, Naruto, Neji, Choji, and Kiba and those helping them (Rock Lee, Gaara, Temari and Kankuro) and it also includes the clash between Naruto and Sasuke. This arc concludes the first part of the Naruto manga series.
[2-and-a-half year timeskip (the filler episodes 136 to 220 take place during this time)]
Reintroduction (Episodes 1-2):
Two and a half years later, an older and stronger Naruto returns to Konoha. This arc focuses on reintroducing the main characters, Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi. Others reappearing in this segment include Jiraiya, Tsunade, Konohamaru, Iruka, Shikamaru, Gaara, and Temari.
Rescue Gaara (Episodes 3-21, present arc, ongoing):
The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, is kidnapped by two Akatsuki members, Sasori and Deidara. Team Kakashi is sent to Sunagakure as backup. The mission turns into a rescue mission as Team Kakashi, with Chiyo of Sunagakure and Team Guy as their backup, chase after Gaara's kidnappers.
Yup that's where the anime is until. The manga is quite ahead of the anime though. Anyway hope that helps! :)
