Summary

adopt the first part ofNarutois fully adapted — Naruto : Shippudenwould number much afterwards and pose its own challenges , with the main cast senescence — it will take multiple movies to get the account right . Narutoworks better as a TV show , but the disjoined arcs suggest how it can be wrench into individual picture . While the cinema serial would still struggle to rack up all the notes from the manga and gum anime , breakingNarutopart 1 into four lively - activity movies would give the filmmaker enough space to wrap up all the major details .

4The Live-Action Naruto Movie Can Cover The Land Of Waves Arc

Episodes 1-19

The first live - actionNarutomovie will no doubt cover the Land of Waves arc , which is somewhat disappointing given it sport a baddie who does n’t factor conspicuously into the relaxation of the story .

The first movie will be tasked with establishing the domain , as well as the independent character ' backstories — no small exploit view the ordered series of the manga and gum anime .

With the live - natural process Naruto picture show move forward , the adjustment will have to solve a unmanageable Naruto villain quandary for the movie to work .

With that in thinker , it ’s probably for the best that the initial live - actionNarutofilm wo n’t dig into the more complex storylinesthat unravel later on . Instead , it will give Naruto and his teammate the fortune to hone their skills and discover to work together . This will culminate in two fights against Zabuza Momochi , the first of which will reveal Kakashi ’s abilities with the Sharingan . The second showdown could answer as the culmination of the film , with Haku ’s death , Sasuke ’s move to protect Naruto , and Zabuza ’s sacrifice packing several worked up punches .

3Naruto Movie 2 Could Cover The Chunin Exams Arc

Episodes 20-67

The Forest of Death will be peculiarly of import inNaruto 2 , as it will introduce Orochimaru and typeset up later storylines , including the coup and Sasuke ’s departure . These are all necessary ingredient of Kishimoto ’s report , so it ’s all-important that theNarutoadaptation catch them correct .

unluckily , squeezing the Chunin Exams into a single film likely intend thatNaruto 2will need to cut back on the one - on - one battle . In the source stuff , Naruto and his fellow ninjas - in - training do a full troll of one - on - one matches , then return later for a 2d tourney - style mental test . The latter is interrupted by Orochimaru and the Sunagakure staging a coup , which leave to even more high-pitched - stakes encounter .

2The Third Live-Action Naruto Movie Can Adapt The Konoha Crush Arc & Search For Tsunade

During Naruto and Jaraiya ’s search for the third Sannin , they ’ll also find Orochimaru , establishing a consistent villain over the course of the film serial publication .

Naruto 3would also want to consider with Naruto vs. Gaara betimes on , cementing Naruto ’s power to inspire those around him and showcasing the talents he pick up while training with Jaraiya . The Search for Tsunade bow also needs to introduce Itachi , assuming theNarutomovies require to put upShippuden ’s storylines onwards of metre . or else , Itachi ’s comer could be bumped back to the beginning of theShippudenfilms .

From there , most ofNaruto 4would dwell of fight sequences . The Sasuke Recovery Mission arc meet Naruto and his friends taking on the Sound Ninja Four ( and the unexpected fifth extremity of their group ) . Each of the young ninjas winds up fight back a villain one - on - one .

This would take up most of the movie ’s runtime , butit would provide an military action - tamp and compelling conclusion to the originalNarutostoryline — just as it does in the manga and Zanzibar copal .
