Believe it or not, I have never seen anything Naruto until today. This name though, and the image of the young guy with three stripes on either side of his face, with the yellow spiky hairstyle, and wearing an orange jogging suit has long been familiar to me as a Japanese anime character. However, for some reason or another, I never got a chance nor the interest to see any TV episode nor movie from this franchise before, until my kids convinced me to bring them to watch this film this afternoon on opening day in a local mall.

"Road to Ninja" tells a complicated story where Naruto and his friend Sakura are sent into a parallel mirror world by an evil wizard, where their deepest dreams come true. Sakura, who resents her parents meddling with her life, realizes that her parents have both died as heroes. Naruto who had lived his entire life as an orphan, now enjoys the loving presence of his parents, Minato and Kushima.

Both Naruto and Sakura are still cognizant though that they are living in an illusion that needs to be broken. Powerful ninja battles ensue during the night of the red moon, the only night when the spell can be broken by a mysterious scroll, and Naruto had to invoke the Nine-Tailed Fox within him in an attempt to return their world back to how it used to be.

Despite the fact that I did not even know a single fact about Naruto or his friends, I did not find it difficult to get into the groove of this story. I had to ask a question or two to my son beside me to set me straight on character relationships, but overall it was not too tough to get through.

The story was told very well, without really requiring an in depth knowledge of the animated series. The flashbacks give us the necessary historical background in order to understand better the current situation the characters are in. The clarity of this story development is quite impressive considering this is already the ninth Naruto film!

I can now see why this anime series had been so popular over the years. No wonder this particular installment had just become the highest-grossing Naruto film. I think I might just go watch the first film and really get acquainted with this popular series more.

Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie 6 is the sixth Part II/Shippūden film and ninth overall Naruto movie. It is also the first film with the story created by the original series creator, Masashi Kishimoto. Kishi has poured his profound ideals and morals into the Naruto series from Day 1 and Road to Ninja has pretty big ones. The movie has good action, comedy and drama and is interestingly and steadily paced.

Ya know that classic plot thing where the character resents the way their life is, gets a taste of life when he gets what he wants and hates it, then things return to normal and he's grateful for what he has, RTN uses this but it goes much deeper. The film relates to the canon plot more than any other anime movie I've seen, except some DB movies. Fans of Naruto will get this, knowing how Naruto's parents died at his birth and the 9-tailed fox was sealed into him, causing him to be alone and the love he should have gotten replaced with hate and shunning. He has a sincerely happy attitude in the series, but it hits him hard in the movie which is plot-constructive. Sakura has parents but resents their annoying her all the time. Also in relation to the main plot, one of the series' main antagonist, Tobi, tests his Infinite Genjutsu on them with a prototype. The IG's goal is to make a fantasy world, making Naruto and Sakura perfect test subjects.

The movie follows the jinchūriki and kunoichi learning what life would be like if they received what they wanted: Sakura's parents dead and Naruto's parents alive. The movie faces the two with the choice of running away in a dreamland or facing the harshness of life as it is and accepting reality. Naruto has what he's wanted and deserved for so long after enduring 26 or so years of hardship. That's also a main theme of the film and why it is called "Road To Ninja". One of the lines at the start of the movie is Naruto recalling what it means to be a Shinobi or Nnja, recalling his master saying, "a ninja is one who endures".

It's Hilarious to see the main characters in these new personalities and dynamics and the action and emotion is top-notch as well and there's sufficient character-development. This is hands down one of the best Naruto films and like the series itself, any viewer can watch this and take something from it. Nice job Kishi. He shows that despite how we all love these characters, their Shinobi and ninjas are meant to endure, being why he puts them through this. Keep enduring guys! 10/10.

Although I have watched this movie last year, I can't help share my thoughts on how awesome this movie is. This is by far the best among the Naruto movies. For fans of the series, like me, this is the ultimate treat. With great action sequences, plot, new takes on the characters, and some big emotional kick, this movie has it all. For the newcomers, it's just easy to catch up with the happenings. Or if you still couldn't catch up, just ask a friend who's a fan of the anime and he'll easily fill you in.

I'm 18 now but I still can't stop myself from having teary eyes over this movie and that's the reason why I really loved Road to Ninja and the whole series itself.

Road to Ninja is an excellent movie. The soundtracks in the movie are amazing and soothing. The movie focuses on a simple aspect that we humans generally want things that others have and we don't. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. The movie shows how sometimes we wish for some things and how once we get them we realize that it wasn't supposed to be this way. The movie makes you realize a simple truth that everything in this universe happens for a reason that you may or may not find out. But sometimes things are supposed to be the way they are because you may never know what part they play in something much greater. Frankly this movie is for those who are familiar with Naruto. Adding any spoilers for this movie's review would spoil the fun and so as a true Naruto fan I would request you to watch the movie because I am sure you will love it.

Cinema is a beautiful illusion that transports in other world as the illusionistic power of Madara. A world when the sizes are relative and different as the screen. A reflection on the power of the ascension with the spirit and the chakra that can change the reality

Imagine that in your life, you have never met a family and one day you meet your surviving family. it's hard to forget, but because the world is different it has to be forgotten

The acclaimed Naruto series is taken on a journey through alternate realities and the depth of Naruto's character in the gripping and emotionally stirring movie Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie. Naruto discovers himself in a parallel universe where the dynamics of well-known relationships are reversed, which gives the movie a surprising twist. It skillfully combines action, drama, and self-discovery aspects, highlighting Naruto's development and fortitude in the face of unforeseen difficulties. Enthralling ninja fights and poignant character development are balanced in the film, which also features amazing animation that both captures the intensity and fury of action scenes and subtly conveys the characters' emotional subtlety.

It's just a story that is disconnected from the main manga and anime story arch . It's an ok and maybe fun time for Naruto fans that knows the ins and outs of the Naruto franchise. Too much is lost for the ones that knows just a little bit.

The plot is very basic and with some gaps, the secondary characters are little explored, but the strength of this film is the emotional part, the way is explored the alternative of the naruto had parents is magnificent and the saddest I've seen in series, the soundtrack is beautiful as always, but this can be more emersive, magical and the song "no home" is the best I've heard in my life. It is for me, still the best naruto film, the most emotive and the most wonderful.

This is the 6th movie of the Naruto Shippuuden story and I waited for more than 10 years to watch it for the first time yesterday. The stories of the previous 5 movies were all quite underwhelming so I didn't expect much. This time the story is better, but there are still ridiculous and unreasonable points. For example, the story's setting takes place when Pain and Bee met Naruto, however the Leaf Village is still intact, and Madara's mask as well, even though Konan had destroyed it before. Why do I say this is a major mistake? Because it was only when the Leaf Village was destroyed by Pain that Naruto met his father, and his mother too. The story of Kyuubi in the Tsukuyomi world is also not clearly explained, who is the Jinchuuriki of that world? What ability does Sakura's father have to be Hokage? There are still many unconvincing things present. They brought the story closer to the main story in the TV show version and I really like this. But it's a shame that the story's setting has so many holes. Except for a few main characters, the other characters are just there for the fun of it. The action scenes aren't really eye-catching either. But what caught my attention in this movie were the wordless scenes depicting everyday life - slice of life, and especially the message about family. The moments of psychological development of Naruto and Sakura as they accept the change in their families are very interesting. I understand that this change also has a message aimed at young people. However, the way the story begins with this message is to turn our lovely characters - Naruto and Sakura - into mean and selfish teenagers. I don't like this very much. I wish the story was more convincing and deeper, then the family scenes would have a stronger impact.

Um dos melhores filmes do Naruto! Tem varias aventuras, e mostra muitas comutiosidades exclusivas...

Naruto the road to ninja, is such a lovely piece of fanservice. That hits on the feelings of the show, and give us an alternative look at the characters We enjoy.

It has a nice balance of the comedic and the serious. Friends and teachers that have got their personality twisted to something opposite. It is so fun to watch if you enjoyed the characters from The Show, to see them in this light, It is absolute hilarious.

But it's also shows a side of Naruto that we know too well, but truly put him in a dilemma of feelings. It's so sad and heartwarming at the same time.

The animation is the normal movie stuff where it feels just a bit above the normal TV show.

But to be fair, some Naruto episodes looks amazing and this mostly keeps up.

It has the same good naruto soundtrack, but there's not anything new.

It one of the few Naruto movies that is worth your time, would absolutely recommend.

Although I have watched this movie last year, I can't help share my thoughts on how awesome this movie is. This is by far the best among the Naruto movies. For fans of the series, like me, this is the ultimate treat. With great action sequences, plot, new takes on the characters, and some big emotional kick, this movie has it all. For the newcomers, it's just easy to catch up with the happenings. Or if you still couldn't catch up, just ask a friend who's a fan of the anime and he'll easily fill you in. A amazing movie from an amazing anime. I really enjoyed this show when I was a kid

PS. Hinata is so hot.

Now this is what I call a MOVIE! You can clearly see that there was a lot of work put in creating this amazing movie, the plot is smart, complex and hits you hard on the emotional part. It was a very enjoyable experience! This movie left me with a grin on my face and a positive vibe. You definitely don't wanna miss out on this one! Well done!

Some comments say their is a great introduction, but I don't agree with them at all. I'm half way through and not impressed at all, and I love Naruto.

This is the best naruto movie for me after The last-Naruto The move.like i just love the story and the moral of it and the main theme of this movie the rainy day like i already watched this 2 times and still did not get bored.
