OH crap.
Hey vagabond, I forgot the most important part.
In the manga, the story finishes the Naruto part 1 (which is episode 135 in the anime), and then it has a 6 issue Kakashi Gaiden that tells some awesome backstory about Kakashi. They never animated that in the cartoons, and I have no idea why. Then Naruto part 2 started (which the cartoon calls Shippuden for no reason. Shippuden means "HURRICANE CHRONICLES" which is hilarious and has nothing to do with anything in the manga or the cartoon.)
So watch the anime up to episode 135, then read the 6 issues of the manga about Kakashi, then watch Shippuden episode 1.
