Their subject is pretty wealthy and healthy, I should say. He is also irresponsible son and a husband who only know how to use his wealth however he will soon inherent his father’s throne.

While they are on their journey they found a circus team in some of the village that they passed by, they watch and enjoyed the show, As Hikaru see the white Siberian tiger he was amazed and want to have it as a pet, right after the show they bought the whole circus team and brought them in their country. As they packed all the things Hikaru tried to get close to Cham, the Siberian tiger, but he was too dangerous to handle and Hikaru almost beaten by him, fortunately Naruto save him.

As they arrive at the port they were stranded since there are no ships going to Mikazuki Island. They royal heir and his son then pays a visit to his wife in that small village. He introduces their son and invites her to live with him again but his wife does not want it to.In the port, Hikaru approaches Naruto and want to start a conversation however he ended up bribing him to be his servant, but Naruto don’t want it too so he knocks him in the head Sakura rushes onto him and knocked him out too.

Moving on, they were enjoying a feast on ship as they cross the sea. However it seems that Hikaru is still not satisfied to everything he got. In his table he caught Kiki, the monkey, stealing an apple underneath. Hikaru then give Miki an apple and went to Cham’s cage and offer him too.

And Hikaru don’t bother about the animals but Naruto scolded him and told him that he’s a kid as worst as trash.

In their palace, Michiru – the father of Hikaru – is overthrown by Shabadaba, his right hand official – he also taken over the whole Island of Mikazuki that is why the island looks odd. They are faced with the traitor’s soldier and drove them away in the palace. Korage, loyal servants of the king came and rescue them, then led them to his father hidden place. There Michiru heard his fathers dying wish and passed out.

Now the morale of the story is being shown. Naruto talked to Hikaru to ease the pain he is going through, about of losing someone. Naruto explaines the precious things that Hikaru’s grandfather had left him. Then Naruto made a promise again, that he will to protect and save Hikaru whenever he needs him.

To protect the Michiru and his son from any danger, the soldiers arrange a ship which could bring them back to oversea however the ninjas that Shabadaba hired disrupt their escaped. Team 7 manages to fight back however they took Michiru and drag him back to the palace. The ninja that they fight in no ordinary ninja, they use a weapon which distracts their senses.

In their hideout Naruto and Hikaru planned to rescue his father, the new king. While they are making a plan the circus team suddenly arrives and Kakashi thought of a better idea on saving Michiro. In the palace Michiru was on the edge of his death, when he saw the sunset and realizes what his father’s last words had told him.

The dusk is fading when the circus folks arrive at the gate of the palace acting as circus performer Kakashi entertains the soldiers, while the others move in their way in to rescue Michiru.

Review:

I have watched this a year ago and forget about it already. I thought I deleted this file but when I looked at the drive F of my computer I found a lot of movie files and to think most of it is anime movies that I downloaded. Yeah I just download it.

It was fun watching this side movie it is completely different from the first two movies I have watched. The story is simple and predictable – Someone tries to over-thrown a ruler then they tried to rescue him from the villain, and in the end they make a new different friendship bond, the usual Naruto story – yet it is interesting. The way the creator conceptualizes the story, the cinematography and even the characters is impressive. Naruto characters are also unusual. They wear a different outfit. Kakashi wears a shirt underneath his uniform. Naruto wears a wrist band and short. Sakura wears a shorter shirt – I guess, can’t really distinguish the difference between her usual dress though. And Rock Lee wears a short. And speaking of Rock Lee, I wonder why the creators decided to put him on the team – this is during the time when Sasuke left Konoha.

Moreover, after this movie they introduced a new team policy. Teams are mixed up with other teams making a different combination. It was a great idea it makes the story truly remarkable and cleverly written.

Naruto has been unbeatable with other new anime series that has been aired since last five years and to think Naruto is still going better and better especially the Naruto shippuuden.

For the ratings I give 8.5/10. Because this movie still does not compare to my all time favorite anime film, Yu yu Hakusho, it was release back in 1999 here in the Philippines, if I was not mistaken. I give 8.5 because it does not contain any serious matter that really needs an attention unlike yu yu hakusho, it has a concrete storyline – no wonder why it was also the best anime I ever seen since I was still a kid.

I hope to see watch another Naruto movie again next time. See you.
