Naruto is well worth your time, just don't care about the fillers, there should be a list on wikipedia or something that tells you which is filler and which is not, so you save a lot of time and watch what matters.

Now you can get the PS3 trilogy (there just had a version with all three, right?) and the last game that'll come February 9th.

Yup, February 9th as I just said. Play the PS3 trilogy as well, all great stuff and will give you the whole story (core).

Where are you at Naruto right now? Don't play Ninja Storm 4 right niw because it's about the end of the story, and the anime is still to finish even as the manga finished over a year ago.

The games are sequences.
The first covers the whole classic Naruto, which are 9 seasons in the anime (you can skip 3 whole seasons though, 6, 7 and 8 are all fillers, or something like that).
The second covers the beginning of the Shippuden phase, right after where the first ends.
The third covers from the end of the second to another part (which I won't tell), but this one doesn't end like in the anime, it has an alternate ending because the anime wasn't finished that part when the game released.
The fourth now is supposed to cover the last until the end.
They all follow the manga/anime story, and they have singleplayer modes, not only fighting, you go playing and progressing in the story, it's by far the best anime to game transistion IMO, even as the single player is not very open there are a lot of places from the anime (specially the first that let you roam quite freely in Konoha), and they progress just like the anime, they are all good games yet they do shine in the fights. If you have a buddy there you can have tons of fun with doing versus against him (also can do online, but they are all basically dead by now), there are a lot of characters and they all play very well and it does feel like the anime while you play, all the jutsus and stuff, it hardly gets boring, and it just goes getting better in this department with the newer games, are there are more characters and their power escalate and it goes getting cooler and cooler.

You should really try them out, but not before you complete at least the classic Naruto so you can start playing the first game without being spoiled.
