There's a little blood throughout the series not a ton thoough.
Moderate Animated pretty Strong Violence.
It about martial art and ninja main theme. Fights are frequent but mostly bloodless -- at most, viewers see puddles of blood on the ground or light bleeding at injury site. Potentially scary monsters include zombies , a three-headed snake, swarming beetles and spiders, a broken doll marionette, a giant slug and giant larvae, a two-headed wolf, a shark, and a flesh-eating haunted castle.
A lot of non-graphic violence but this show is tamest than "Naruto Shippuden" where they have much very intense violence.
Male characters get nosebleeds sometimes.
A man is killed during an assassination attack, the body is silhouetted but very startling and intense. We later discover it was only a shadow clone of the actual man.
Naruto is poisoned in one scene and has to stab his hand to get the poison out, blood seeps out as he does it. (In Cartoon Network version, the scene is removed if Naruto using stab himself in his hand, the only showing kunai red screen, and Naruto's blood screen was digitally removed).
The battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru is very intense.
During the Chunnin Exams the ninjas need to battle with people that they know. In these battles a few people die but the deaths are very stylized and intense.
The battle between Team 7 and Zabuza is very graphic and intense, especially towards the end as many thugs are killed by Zabuza's rampage.

Language avoid swearing but present of the series, such as "crap", "damn", "ass", "hell", and "bastard", but very infrequent In the Viz/English dub. However in the dub, "Jackass" and "Bitch" are used once each and "Goddamn" was used twice.

In the Uncut version. Very mild and infrequent, like "hell", "damn", "crap", "bastard" and "ass". "Bitch" is said once and is about as strong as the language gets. (Almost all of it is cut from the edited TV version on Cartoon Network)

The ninja battle scenes could pretty intense to some younger viewers.
The minor characters are trying to attempted suicide, but they are stopped by heroes
TV-PG-DV/TV-14-V for sequences of martial art action/violence, a suggestive reference and smoking.
Some characters can be scary such as Orochimaru, Itachi and Gaara (Gaara a antagonist only).
Orochimaru's lair can be fairly scary and creepy.
Sasuke's "Curse Seal" transformation can be scary for younger children, as he grows wings.
Orochimaru himself is scary, being power-hungry. He is immortal and achieves this by devouring another person's body like a snake. This is never shown, but the victims can be heard screaming.
Naruto's "Nine-Tailed Fox" transformation is somewhat scary, as he grows fangs and red eyes. A monsterous orange aura envelopes him.
