In later volumes of Naruto (from what i hear) There is strong language (f***,b***) The mangaka suposedly did this to make it more realistic.

*blink blink* More realistic? How can reading about young-ish teenagers using strong language be more realistic?
Understandable, every child goes through the phase of, "My parents are not around, therefore I can say whatever words I please."
Thank you for the update on this, Knives! It is not going to deteur me from continuing the Naruto Manga, but the warning was nice.

A question... how can a Japanese work have words it has no equivalent for? As far as I know, the only curse in the Japanese language is kuso, which admittedly does appear at times. But isn't addition of f*** automatically solely from the translator's mind?
I know people around the age of 12 who curse in that manner, by the way. Furthermore, Naruto is about far more than just the kids of the series. Also, the reading audiance is older, and they're used to such language.

my sisters friend has a mouth of like a 20 year old...She was saying hi to my parents and cussed at least 5 times just saying hi!
Anyways, most cussing you hear in anime/manga is done by the translators as UC said. Also is thier a move used by Naruto which he transforms into a naked girl? I forget the name of the special ability.

The Ninja Centerfold, as he calls it, or the ultimate form: Ninja Harem. Yes, he is technically naked, though we have conveniently placed mists.
He uses it a few times at the beginning, then once or twice because it's one of the few ways to get Jaiyra's attention.

Not a problem. The situation has been rectified in any case. It is good that you are being judicious about what you read and want to make others aware of the content within popular manga/anime.
