Filler or Canon?
Naruto Shippuden Episode 6 is mixed canon/filler — it contains canon manga material with some anime-original padding. Worth watching to follow the story. The rescue logistics episode — Chiyo's introduction and Sakura's medical debut, the pieces the arc's payoff depends on falling into place.

Episode Summary
Two teams converge on the desert. Team Kakashi reaches Suna to find the village wounded and the elder Chiyo — a Sand legend with a personal history against the Akatsuki's Sasori — drawn reluctantly into the chase. The episode is mobilization and intelligence: Sakura's medical skills proving themselves on a poisoned Kankuro, the trail to the Akatsuki hideout identified, and the cross-village cooperation that defines the arc taking shape. The mission is clear, the clock on Gaara's extraction is not, and the desert is wide.
