If we are to assume that Kion was not in The Lion King 2 because he was either on his way to or from the Tree of Life, which appears to be at least a continent away, the Lion Guard would have to have aged, even by Mama Binturong. They have to be several months into their journey by now, possibly over half a year. If enough time passes that Kiara has become a young adult by the time if the second movie, and Kion still has yet to return, we can safely assume that he was gone well over a year.
