in the naruto manga and animated series, naruto uzumaki wants to be the best ninja in the land. he' s done well so far, but naruto knows he must train harder than ever and leaves his village for intense exercises that will push him to his limits. naruto shippuden begins two and a half years later, when naruto returns to find that everyone has been promoted up the ninja ranks – except him. sakura’s a medic ninja, gaara’s advanced to kazekage, and kakashi…well he remains the same. but pride isn’t necessarily becoming of a ninja, especially when naruto realizes that sasuke never returned from his search for orochimaru. plus, the mysterious akatsuki organization is still an ever - present danger. as naruto finds out more about the akatsuki’s goals, he realizes that nothing in his universe is as it seems. naruto is finding that he’s older, but will he also prove wiser and stronger ?
in road to ninja – naruto the movie, long ago, a mysterious masked shinobi unleashed the nine - tailed fox onto the village hidden in the leaves to spread chaos and destruction. but the fourth hokage, minato namikaze, and his wife kushina uzumaki sealed the tailed beast into their newborn son, naruto, to save the village, foiling the shinobi’s plan. years later, naruto and his friends succeed in driving away the infamous akatsuki, who have mysteriously returned from the dead. upon returning to the village, the young shinobi are praised by their families for completing a dangerous mission. reminded of how alone he is, naruto begins to wonder what it’s like to have parents, when a strange masked figure appears before him – the same masked shinobi responsible for the death of his parents !
thank you, dude. you literally just summed up the many things wrong with that movie .
select a movie, or a city, or both, and click search .
minato and kushina are really good parents to naruto. they both hate taking risks and don’t want to go to help sakura when naruto asked them .
now, his terrifying ambition is revealed! is he targetting the nine tailed fox? traps and conspiracy to naruto and sakura, and to the other shinobi of the leaf village. the fierce fight is inevitable! the movie is at its climax !
overall, if was incredibly hard to really take the movie seriously. it was pretty boring up to the end; the only really exciting part was at the end with the naruto vs. menma battle, which even then was over too quickly .
during the week (july 30 to august 3), road to ninja grossed approximately another $ 3. 3 million usd, putting the total gross sales since it’s july 28th release date (until august 5th) at $ 8. 7 million usd! that’s not bad considering last year’s movie, naruto shippuden: blood prison, grossed about $ 9. 0m usd total in it’s entire lifespan at japanese theaters !

naruto
film of all time making ¥ 1. 46 billion (us $ 18. 3 million) between its opening and closing times in theatres, july 28 to september 23 before it was surpassed by the last: naruto the movie in december 2014. the film made ¥1. 48 million in 2012 and ranked 29th place in the japanese box office, which even included live - action movies .
naruto and sakura are captured in a parallel world by madara, who' s intentions are to steal the jinchuuriki from naruto .
fanservice: the hot springs scene of course although the tie in manga chapter / promotional episode play up the fanservice quality a lot more then the movie does .

the long - running naruto series owes much of its popularity to its entertaining combination of a come - from - behind hero, magical “ninja” techniques, over - the - top fights, slapstick brawls and friendship. while the road to ninja incorporates these well - known and well - loved elements, it stresses the lonelier, more serious side of the main character. if naruto were just a knuckleheaded prankster, audiences would quickly tire of him. because he has the strength to overcome his weaknesses and achieve his goals, he can be truly heroic, as well as comic, a combination that’s made him one of the most popular animated characters of our era .
: tobi. he used a test run of the infinite tsukuyomi, to try to capture naruto. then he worked with the masked man
adult fear: minato and kushina tend to be overprotective of naruto due to their line of work .
naruto uses it to defeat a tobi - controlled memna, and it alerts minato to his location .
naruto and his team are hired to protect a young actress from three rogue warriors in the land of the snow .
sixteen years ago, a mysterious masked ninja with the name of tobi unleashes a powerful creature known as the nine - tailed demon fox (kurama) on the hidden leaf village konoha, killing a huge number of people. in response, the leader of konoha’s ninja forces, minato namikaze, the fourth hokage, and his wife kushina uzumaki, the demon fox’s living prison, were forced to seal the nine - tailed fox inside their newborn naruto uzumaki .
naruto actually agrees to release the kyuubi and fight side by side for the first time because by the kyuubi' s admittance, he hates tobi / madara more than naruto. so he wouldn' t risk getting trapped in the alternate world by screwing over naruto. the fact that naruto was also in the middle of fighting an alternate version of the kyuubi also helped matters .
the film attempted to capitalize on naruto’s inner struggles and this was in fact the major theme of the entire movie – to the point that he was made to experience a life where his parents were alive and he even fought his alternate dimension self. that said, sakura’s inclusion into the genjutsu was dubious at best. in retrospect, the film begs the question on what obito wanted to truly gain from trying the technique in the first place .
what a great time to get out to the theater! the action - packed ...
naruto, shikamaru and sakura are on a mission to deliver a lost pet to a village when a mysterious knight appear to confront them .
sakura was nearly forced to make one. she could either stay in the genjutsu, so naruto could be happy but she would be alone. or force naruto to leave with her, so she gets her parents back, but naruto is alone again. if naruto hadn' t made the choice for her, she probably would have let herself suffer for naruto .
naruto, in an amnesiac stupor, stares at the destroyed red moon scroll, which brings back memories of his training to learn the rasengan with jiraiya, and how his father was the one who invented the technique. naruto is able to break free of the genjutsu just in time to save sakura, and then defeats tobi the same way his father did, breaking the limited tsukuyomi. tobi, using his ghost body, attacks again, until minato and kushina arrive. tobi decides to give up and exits the genjutsu world just as naruto and sakura are enveloped in a bright light, preparing to return to their world as well, but beforehand naruto thanks minato and kushina who quickly goes to assist menma who is returning to his original state as their son. naruto and sakura returns to their world, where naruto' s hokage coat breaks down since it was only part of the genjutsu world and not real. naruto and sakura tell tsunade and kakashi of what transpired and sets out more guard patrol since tobi was easily able to enter further in the village than they imagined. shizune also brings up the topic of the letters of recommendation from the beginning of the movie, to which tsunade replies that she has no intention of promoting any of naruto' s friends to jōnin. as they both return home, naruto watches sakura as she meets her parents, happily hugging them. he approaches her, asking her out on a date, but sakura tells him they just came back from the longest date ever, much to naruto' s shock. as naruto goes home, he sees iruka in his house, waiting to apologise to him. afterwards, naruto happily jumps roof top to roof top through the village while quoting that the road of a ninja is one who endures. after the credits, the sign in ichikaru ramen where it says
menma
is changed .
minato later makes up for this in naruto' s eye' s by coming to his rescue thanks to the thunder god kunai .
( my biggest complaint); the movie was marketed to make it seem like the alternate versions of the konoha 11 would be a big part of the story. they made a big deal of showing all the' reverse' characters in the promos, hyping them up a ton. but, in the actual movie, they only got like 2 minutes of screen time total, and had practically no relevance to the overall plot at all .
evil is cool: a lot of people consider the akatsuki to be so as is... and in this movie' s au, they' re the good guys .

returning to the hidden leaf village after skirmishing with the evil ninjas of the akatsuki clan, naruto confronts a subtler foe: loneliness. while his teammates’ parents praise their work and talk about submitting the forms for promotions in the ninja ranks, naruto walks into his apartment and gives the traditional japanese greeting, tadaima (“i’m back home”) –to the food wrappers and dirty laundry lying on the floor. at the same time, his friend sakura is quarreling with her parents, whom she feels are over - protective .
despite masashi kishimoto himself having written the script, the time - frame this movie is set in doesn' t correlate with canonical events established by manga' s timeline, seemingly deviating from it past the point of naruto' s stay on the island turtle .
the blu - ray / dvd combo pack is a 2 - disc set and will carry an msrp of $ 29. 99 u. s. / $ 37. 48 can. the dvd edition of road to ninja is a single - disc release that will carry an msrp of $ 19. 98 u. s. / $ 34. 98 can .
this akatsuki was hired by tsunade to help naruto, and they deal with the masked beasts when naruto attacks the masked man. itachi saves sakura and tobi decides to escape instead. the akatsuki defeats the masked beasts that turn into nine fox kits, while naruto chased the masked man into the training grounds. they then fight, naruto uses sage mode and uses the wind release: rasenshuriken to counter the masked man' s great spiralling ring. it ends in a draw, but the attack destroy the masked man' s mask, showing that he is menma, this world' s naruto. menma informs naruto that the pulsating inside his stomach must be kurama' s reaction to the black nine - tails within menma. menma then called back the defeated masked beasts, and summoned kurama' s counterpart, the black nine - tails. naruto was unable to attack, while the akatsuki retreat, taking sakura with them. not wanting to be manipulated by the sharingan again, kurama makes a truce with naruto to work together, allowing him to summon kurama out of his body. in the battle naruto is barely able to win, but tobi reveals that this was his plan, to have naruto and menma fight, as doing so would cause the two foxes to fight and weaken kurama. as he possessed menma, kurama warned naruto if he looked into menma' s sharingan, it would be all over, for tobi planned to extract kurama out of naruto the same way he extracted it from kushina sixteen years ago. as menma overpowers naruto, the latter tries to use the scroll when he notices the moon had turned red, but menma cuts the scroll, causing naruto to look into menma' s eyes. naruto' s memories are erased, but sakura rescues him before kurama is extracted from him .
i really don’t think i’m ready to watch this movie, i feel like i’m going to puke. there’s just soooooooo much rubbish in it that i’ll probably curse the creators to hell. lord help me, it’s times like this that forces me to read bleach. blah. well i still have the the episodes to rely on .
trapped in another world: naruto and sakura are sent to another world by tobi and have to find a way home .
the movie starts with a flashback to the nine - tailed demon fox' s attack, which then flashes forward to the present timeline where the eight members of akatsuki who are meant to be dead, are actually alive and are battling the konoha shinobi and this in - turn unsettles sakura. shikamaru states there is no point in wondering why the dead are back alive and quickly comes up with a counter plan, but naruto quickly attacks akatsuki head on, forcing the rest of the konoha 11 plus sai, kakashi and guy to attack. the battle continues until naruto is caught by kakuzu. sai frees naruto by cutting part of kakuzu' s arm off, causing the akatsuki to retreat .
naruto, kakashi, sakura, and rock lee are assigned to protect michiru, the prince of the land of the moon, while he travel the world. the prince purchased a tiger sham and the whole circus, which became the team' s protection .
suit up of destiny: naruto leaves for the final fight by putting on the fourth hokage' s cloak .
so you want to be a mix engineer. the good news is even the greatest in the. .
without even seeing this movie i have to say that it looks to fall in line with all of the other naruto movies as pure garbage. they pick the dumbest story lines and the fighting is subpar. instead of maybe showing us the previous wars, back stories (the kakashi back story was amazing) or even current events with them using their current manga / anime powers they give us this kind of crap. this is the one area that bleach completely trounces on naruto. as a fan i’m obligated to see this movie but there will be a lot of fast forwarding. just my humble angry opinion, lol .
character development: sakura comes to appreciate her own parents more by the end of the film, as well as understand naruto' s pain better .
naruto' s battle to reclaim his honor begins! naruto is convicted of a serious crime he didn' t commit and is sent to the inescapable prison, hozuki castle. the warden, mui, quickly seals... see full summary »
the first time that sakura and naruto see kizashi haruno' s face in the hokage rock, he was facing to the centre but in another scene, he is facing the same direction as tsunade .
the naruto road to ninja timeline occurs sometime before the current great shinobi war that is rocking the naruto world. madara – or more appropriately, obito – experiments on a shorter, limited version of their planned infinite tsukiyomi genjutsu on konoha, targeting naruto. sakura somehow gets involved, so the duo is pulled into an alternate world where, for the most part, people and some events are the opposite of how they are in reality. this makes for a very interesting situation where hinata is a very aggressive alpha - female and sasuke is a playboy (not to mention he isn’t an exiled shinobi), and it also presents a unique experience for both sakura and naruto. sakura experiences how it is to live alone and without the constant bickering of her parents, who in this world are dead, and her father was the fourth hokage who heroically gave his life in service of the village. naruto’s parents are alive and well, offering him a brief taste of what it would have been like had obito not attacked the village with the kyubi at the very start of the series .
as sakura heals kushina, naruto still attempts to brush off his parents, causing minato to say no matter what naruto does, they will always try to save him as that' s what they naturally tend to do as parents. kushina then awakens and hugs naruto, causing him to breakdown in tears and finally accept them as his parents. they return to konoha, where tsunade locks the scroll in the village' s safe until the night when a red moon will appear, when they can use the scroll to fulfil the said prophecy. as naruto and sakura walk home together, naruto quickly runs home saying he has something to do, leaving sakura alone. sakura now finds her home too lonely and wonders if naruto' s always felt this way. as she walks down town she sees happy families, only making her more sad. she then realises that this world' s sasuke is just a flirt as she sees him flirting with a group of girls and decides that naruto was right on his decision to quickly break the genjutsu they' re now trapped in and wishes to return to their own world. as she walks to naruto' s home to try to find a way to break the genjutsu, she sees how happy naruto is and wonders if they really should leave. sakura later meets naruto, and asks him if he wants to stay. although he denies it, he later thinks to himself that he truly does not want to leave .
when naruto beats menma, tobi exits him and decides to break the illusion as it' s obvious his plan has failed .
a variety of bonus features will also make road to ninja of special interest to naruto shippuden fans. these include the original japanese theatrical trailers, broadcast commercials, and promotional videos offered on both the dvd and blu - ray editions. the blu - ray edition features crisp 1080p high definition video and also includes a special bonus art gallery. the blu - ray edition contains dts - hd audio, also with english and japanese dialogue options and english subtitles. dvd audio selections include english 5. 1 as well as japanese 2. 0 dialogue options, with english subtitles .
long ago, a mysterious masked shinobi unleashed the nine - tailed fox onto the village hidden in the leaves to spread chaos and destruction. but the fourth hokage, minato namikaze, and his wife kushina uzumaki sealed the tailed beast into their newborn son naruto to save the village ...
naruto and his friends return to the village, where most of naruto' s peers are congratulated by their families, all of whom promise to write a recommendation letter for the promotion to becoming a jōnin although sakura has a little fight with her family who embarrass her in front of the others. as naruto returns home, he passes many families making him reminisce about his father and mother causing him to feel lonely .
when the advertisements for a new naruto movie started coming out last year, including that special manga chapter and full color spread, and when it was announced that masashi kishimoto himself would be doing the story, i had high expectations. his storyline for the naruto manga (from which the naruto and naruto shippuuden anime are based, of course) might not be very unique nor expansive, but his vision of his shinobi - filled world and the breadth of characters involved are impressive. he also expends a lot of effort on character development for a few noteworthy characters in the series. so i expected a mixture of all these positive aspects in the ninth film of the naruto franchise .
as the nine - tailed fox was safely sealed away, things continues as normal. however, in the present day, peace ends when a group of ninja called the akatsuki attack konoha under the guidance of tobi, the mysterious masked man behind the nine - tailed fox’s attack 16 years ago, he intends on executing his plan to rule the world by shrouding it in illusions .

as the duo try to find a way home they are faced with the main scourge of the world they were transported in, a masked man with unknown origins who, like naruto, is the jinchuriki of the kyubi. to make matters worse, obito lends his assistance to this masked man, giving him some of the rinnegan’s powers on top of control over nine spirits which seem to be direct counterparts of the nine tailed beasts of naruto’s own world. here’s another facet i was uncertain how to process: the nine spirits this man controlled were (probably) analogous to the nine bijuu of naruto’s world, but he also had the kyubi? well, at least it makes for a great excuse later on in the film where the spirits get to fight some noteworthy opponents .
“ naruto, ” the long - running manga and anime series about ninja - in - training and self - proclaimed knucklehead naruto uzumaki, ranks among the most popular franchises of the 21 st century. tens of millions of books have been sold worldwide, and the two television series ran for over 400 episodes. in addition, there have been eight theatrical films, more than 40 video games and a raft of license products. go to any anime con and you’ll see kids dressed as naruto everywhere you turn .
long ago, a mysterious masked shinobi unleashed the nine - tailed fox onto the village hidden in the leaves to spread chaos and destruction. but the fourth hokage, minato namikaze, and his wife kushina uzumaki sealed the tailed beast into their newborn son naruto to save the village, foiling the shinobi’s plan. years later, naruto and his friends succeed in driving away the infamous akatsuki, who have mysteriously returned from the dead. upon returning to the village, the young shinobi are praised by their families for completing a dangerous mission. reminded of how alone he is, naruto begins to wonder what it’s like to have parents, when a strange masked figure appears before him – the same masked shinobi responsible for the death of his parents !
hmm, well i somewhat agree with what you’ve said, yes it’s another naruto story that hasn’t been explained properly, but personally i think that it has some potential. agree that some of the other movies have been nonsense, but i think since movie starts to explains a bit into different worlds / universes it could explains who tobi really is, if he’s not dark naruto. yeah agree with the bleach, personally it’s a lot better 🙂 i guess the movie has again directed itself to a younger audience by choosing to display some of the childish stuff it has, but again it has kept some maturity in it by the emotions from naruto and his parents and sakura and hers… so it’s not all that bad. .
they run into their friends including sasuke, which surprises both sakura and naruto, but with different personalities, and to add to the confusion, no one knows who tobi is. they realise they are in another world where sakura' s father was the fourth hokage, who saved the village instead of minato, and in this world naruto is named menma instead. as naruto and sakura return home, sakura is happy for the new freedom she has, while naruto hurries home to his apartment hoping to see his parents, only to find he does not live there .
this masked man attacks the alternate dimension konoha and leaves it destroyed much the same way pain left it decimated in naruto’s world, and naruto decides to chase after him when he takes sakura, admitting to his newfound “parents” that he was not their son menma. here, naruto notes the major difference between his real parents and his parents in this world: their attitude towards sacrifice and trust. as naruto arrives where the masked man and obito are waiting, the akatsuki arrive, but in the limited tsukiyomi world, the akatsuki are ninjas for hire, and tsunade paid them to assist naruto and safeguard sakura. a fight ensues between the masked man, his nine spirits, and naruto and the akatsuki. naruto voices out what the audience probably thought: it was quite awesome to have the akatsuki fight by his side. yet another notable scene was where alternate dimension itachi faced obito, and the latter simply backed out from a potential showdown. he didn’t want to mess with itachi even in another dimension .

long ago, a mysterious masked shinobi unleashed the nine - tailed fox onto the village hidden in the leaves to spread chaos and destruction. but the fourth hokage, minato namikaze, and his wife kushina uzumaki sealed the tailed beast into their newborn son naruto to save the village, foiling the shinobi' s plan. years later, naruto and his friends succeed in driving away the infamous akatsuki, who have mysteriously returned from the dead. upon returning to the village, the young shinobi are praised by their families for completing a dangerous mission. reminded of how alone he is, naruto begins to wonder what it' s like to have parents, when a strange masked figure appears before him - the same masked shinobi responsible for the death of his parents !
when naruto and sakura were fighting tobi, they were attacked by tobi’s genjutsu, this ultimately brought them to an alternate world where many people they knew had opposite personalities. naruto learns that his parents are still alive in this alternative world, while sakura’s parents have passed away during a war on the hidden leaf only some years after her birth. the movie begins at this point .
a lot of the promotional material puts heavy emphasis on teasing the naruto / hinata and sasuke / sakura shippers. apparently turned out be a subverted trope because hinata disappears completely after the first act and the sasuke of the alternate world is revealed to be a womanizer who moves on to flirting with more girls. but, on the other hand, considering the pairing' s ultimate fate, this was played completely straight for the naruto / sakura shippers .
naruto and sakura meet tsunade and shizune, who tell them that a masked man attacked kumogakure, and killed their jinchūriki which naruto and sakura believe to have been tobi. they then meet naruto' s parents, who are alive in this world. minato says that jiraiya died finding the red moon scroll that was said to help save the world. tsunade lets naruto and sakura join minato and kushina on their mission when kakashi and guy return. sakura is shocked at finding out who naruto' s parents are, while naruto is angry that tobi would dare to make copies of his dead parents, and he swears to break the genjutsu. while sakura is still enjoying her life, she wonders how naruto is doing. while naruto attempts to ignore his parents, he sees an album showing him how his life would have been if his parents had been alive .
years later, naruto and his friends succeed in driving away the infamous akatsuki, who have mysteriously returned from the dead. upon returning to the village, the young shinobi are praised by their families for completing a dangerous mission. reminded of how alone he is, naruto begins to wonder what it’s like to have parents, when a strange masked figure appears before him – the same masked shinobi responsible for the death of his parents !
long ago, a mysterious masked shinobi unleashed the nine - tailed fox onto the village hidden in the leaves to spread chaos and destruction. but the fourth hokage, minato namikaze, and his wife kushina uzumaki sealed the tailed beast into their newborn son naruto to save the village, foiling the shinobi' s plan. years later, naruto and his friends succeed in driving away the infamous akatsuki, who have mysteriously returned from the dead. upon returning to the village, the young shinobi are praised by their families for completing a dangerous mission. reminded of how alone he is, naruto begins to wonder what it' s like to have parents, when a strange masked figure appears before him - the same masked shinobi responsible for the death of his parents! (c) eleven arts
in the morning, sakura notices that this world' s kakashi and guy have switched personalities with kakashi showing more excitement and displaying a positive attitude and guy complaining about having to do two missions back to back with a tired uninterested attitude, while naruto isolates himself from his parents at every turn. they soon locate where jiraiya hid the scroll, but as the group stops to rest, naruto charges ahead until he is confronted by the appearance of gamabunta, gamahiro and gamaken. they refuse to listen to naruto and the group who explains their reason for being there and attacks them with an army of frogs. naruto attempts to enter sage mode, but while trying to gather enough energy, kushina interferes and tries to protect him from gamabunta but a shot of acid burns her leg. as a result, naruto gets distracted and is unable to enter sage mode. minato then saves both of them quickly and is able to get the scroll, dispelling the summoning technique .
hinata looks like a slut, she looks more mature, she’s not afraid to scold and hit people, she even threatened sakura for talking to naruto .
non - serial movie: this film takes place in the same time frame as blood prison, after the turtle island arc and before the fourth shinobi world war arc, because naruto has already
met
his mother kushina, all of akatsuki except for tobi and zetsu have been defeated, and tobi hasn' t yet gotten his rinnegan or changed into his new uniform. however, like all of the films preceding this one, this film does not fit into the canon timeline because it depicts naruto in konoha, even though the fourth shinobi world war begins while naruto is still on turtle island and naruto then heads directly to the battlefield without making a stop at konoha since the bulk of the fighting took place at the land of lightning, which is nowhere near konoha .
viz media also invites naruto fans to catch the exciting adventures of the world’s most popular ninja in manga (graphic novel) format (rated ‘t’ for teens), available in - print and also digitally from urltoken, the viz manga app, and from a host of partner platforms. fans can further dive into all of the previous naruto and naruto shippuden feature films on dvd or blu - ray, and also catch anime series episodes and select films on neon alley, viz media’s free media streaming platform, including brand new, subtitled episodes simulcast with japan !
over a dozen years ago, the nine - tailed demon fox, was unleashed by a mysterious masked man. the hidden leaf village was attacked by the fox and was on the verge of complete devastation. there was only one way to save the village – to seal the demon fox. the 4th hokage minato namikaze and his wife kushina sealed the fox into their new born son naruto, sacrificing their own lives for the sake of the village, entrusting its future to their son .
together, they challenge madara and his minions in the abandoned cavern that served as the training cave. madara’s aim in this world is the same as in the real one: he covets the staggering power of the nine - tailed fox demon sealed within naruto’s body. for a brief moment, naruto and the demon must work together to defeat madara’s pawn and an equally redoubtable version of the fox - demon. the no - holds - barred battle is well - staged and exciting. naruto triumphs by drawing on the example of his parents and teachers who were willing to lay down their lives for the greater good, just as hiccup draws strength from the memory of his father stoick the vast in how to train your dragon 2 .
broken base: is this the best of the naruto movies, or an overhyped, mean - spirited plot hole - ridden mess with misleading advertisement with the characters? the fact that the two succeeding movies have not only increased involvement by the author, but are also canon specifically because of his direct involvement (for the last, he was chief story supervisor; for boruto, he actually wrote the screenplay), in comparison to this movie, which is filler and actually had little involvement from kishimoto (other than the character designs for the au counterparts), only further breaks the base .

year inside, hour outside: when naruto and sakura return to the real world, very little time seems to have passed. if nothing else, it' s the same night. they had spent multiple days and nights within the alternate world .
on its own, the film felt like filler episodes squeezed into a full - length movie. it was a subterfuge at best with lots of interesting facets but not enough substance. it does, however, reinforce naruto’s character and resolve before he enters the final shinobi war against obito. in that regard, the film filled in the last gaps of lingering doubt there may have been in naruto’s heart before he set out to wage war against some of the most powerful beings his world has ever seen .
the masked man reveals his trump card, the alternate dimension kyubi, and it’s revealed that he looked exactly like naruto save for dark hair. here the analogy is perhaps where naruto was the greatest hope of his world, here he was the greatest threat. the final fight between the two begin, and as naruto is overwhelmed by the power of the (un) masked man’s kyubi, his own kyubi offers unlimited assistance just this time only. the potential for a devastating kyubi versus kyubi fight was great, but i’m afraid the one - on - one was short - lived and lackluster. at one point naruto’s parents minato and kushina arrive to help, going against their earlier decision not to face the masked man. with their combined efforts the masked man is defeated and is revealed to be menma, the child of naruto’s parents in the alternate dimension. please do not ask me how in the world they never noticed their own son gone for so long that he’s become the greatest threat in their world. naruto and sakura return to their own world as the limited tsukiyomi ends, having learnt lifelong lessons and some of their innermost wishes granted if only for a short while.
