The story
The story begins with Naruto Uzumaki, a prominent ninja, on a mission to apprehend Mukade, a missing-nin. Naruto tracks Mukade to the Ouran ruins, a site of historical significance. There, Mukade reveals his true objective: to harness a dormant leyline within the ruins. As Mukade activates the leyline, a powerful light engulfs Naruto, transporting him back in time.
Naruto finds himself twenty years in the past, a period predating the main series. In this unfamiliar past, he encounters Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, who is much younger. The narrative centers on Naruto's predicament in this altered timeline, his interactions with a past version of a key figure, and the implications of Mukade's actions and the leyline's power. The film explores themes of super power, ninja, and shounen tropes through its male protagonist.
