Here are my thoughts on Naruto shippudden. It is okay, it is not something I would watch all the way through because it is so long. One big shift between Naruto and Naruto shippuden is with Naruto, it seems to focus on characters, while shippudden, it seems to focus more on the plot, especially in the later series, which was pretty good and very well thought out. Naruto seems to focus on the perspective from the leaf ninja's and shippudden, you see more why they became villains and see their viewpoint more in other words,all of them are justifiable villians. You see the flaws in the leaf system in its early years, racism,bias, the senju clan people had itachi to kill his own clan, which is very cowardly and despicable, the uchiha people were right to go to war with the people. you see how in all reality, the 5 power seem to be good guys,but were the oppressors as well. Naruto shippudden is fun to watch, but it takes time to go through it.
