Naruto Shippūden parents guide

Heads up on strong violence, some innuendo or implied sex and light gore. That is past what the TV-PG on the box suggests. Beyond that, mild language and a few tense moments.

Our estimate: fine from about 13, higher than the TV-PG suggests, because of the violence.

Only a little. Naruto Shippūden has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.

Light gore and strong violence.
What is Naruto Shippūden rated, and is it OK for kids?

What is Naruto Shippūden about?

After 2 and a half years Naruto finally returns to his village of Konoha, and sets about putting his ambitions to work. It will not be easy though as he has amassed a few more dangerous enemies, in the likes of the shinobi organization; Akatsuki.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
