One of the major abilities in the series, called 'Genjutsu', is an illusionary ability often used to make people feel extreme pain without damaging their bodies. One extreme example is where a master of this ability, Itachi Uchiha, looks a protagonist, Kakashi, in the eye and traps him in an illusion for what feels like seven days, wherein he is crucified and stabbed repeatedly, though this is but an instant in the real world.

In a filler episode (3x01, around 13:55), Jiraiya tells a shirtless Naruto that he has a sexy body. Naruto’s uses of Sexy Jutsu/Harem Jutsu might also fall under this category, although the “sexy” clones do seem to be older versions of him.

A recurring gag through a series is men peeping on women in bathhouses (the women usually have a towel wrapped around them, but b*****s and buttocks often bulge out either side). In these scenes the 'camera' often does a zoom shot on the b*****s and buttocks. There are episodes where the main female characters go as a group to onsen/bathhouses (and a male scene once or twice between the two series of the same)

While not technically cops (and all technically cops characters being killed before the main events timeline) all the main character are shinobi, so, essentially military, and while the manga does overall tackle with the fact that constant military escalating is bad, ultimately the character trying to undermine the shinobi system are the villains, and going back to supporting the military is painted as a redemption.

Recurrent throughout the series. Someone's father dies by suicide, and in many occasions people "accept their death" and do things that they know will get them killed. For example, characters inflicting pain and attempting suicide to kill enemies which have taken control of them, etc.

It's a fairly common theme

Not only there's hate speech (which we can see even against the main character), but one of the Leaf Village clans is systematically oppressed through the years. Its clansmen are considered to be "aggressive" due to their biological characteristics and they were victims of a genocide for trying to fight for their rights and for respect. There's no real apology for what happened.

naruto does much better than many anime of its time with this stuff. however two of the four important black characters are 1) an angry black woman (although all of the women act basically the same except hinata) and a guy who raps. like he speaks entirely in rapping. at least he’s powerful and stuff.
