Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie is a 2012 Japanese anime martial arts fantasy film based on Masashi Kishimoto's manga and anime series, Naruto. It was released in Japan on July 28, 2012. It is the first Naruto film to have Kishimoto directly involved with its production, including its main story and new character designs. The story focuses on the ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno who are trapped in an alternate version of their home by the real leader of the Akatsuki criminal organization, Tobi, who aims to take the mystic creature Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that was sealed inside in Naruto by his parents during his birth to prevent the Fourth Great Ninja War. The alternate Hidden Leaf Village has multiple changes from Naruto's world, most notably the fact that Naruto's parents Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki are alive, challenging the main protagonist into either giving into the world he always wanted or carrying on his parents' legacy to defeat the Akatsuki.
