Naruto Shippuden: The Movie

Release Date: August 4, 2007

Director: Hajime Kamegaki

Running Time: 95 minutes

Chronology: This movie is set after Episode 53 of Naruto: Shippuden anime. It was when Naruto, Sakura, Sai, and Yamato returned to the village.

Naruto Shippuden: Bonds

Release Date: August 2, 2008

Director: Hajime Kamegaki

Running Time: 93 minutes

Chronology: The movie is set after Naruto: Shippuden episode 111, when Orochimaru was ill. This was around the time that Sasuke was about to execute Orochimaru.

Naruto Shippuden: The Will of Fire

Release Date: August 1, 2009

Director: Masahiko Murata

Running Time: 96 Minutes

Chronology: This movie is set after Episode 89 of Naruto: Shippuden anime. It’s due to the influence of the Hidan Arc and Kakuzu Arc.

Naruto Shippuden: The Lost Tower

Release Date: July 31, 2010

Director: Masahiko Murata

Running Time: 85 Minutes

Chronology: The movie is set after episodes 152-154 and before Pain attacked the village.

Naruto: Blood Prison

Release Date: July 27, 2011

Director: Masahiko Murata

Running Time: 103 Minutes

Chronology: The movie is likely to be set after episode 196 in the Naruto: Shippuden anime. However, the plot inconsistencies make it difficult to know. Namely, Naruto was aware of Sage Mode and he remembered the time he met his father, even though the invasion by Pain hadn’t yet happened. The Fourth Raikage still had his left arm, even though he lost it at the Five Kage Summit. Naruto was aware of Killer B but he did not meet him until they were training at the Island Turtle. It is not clear when this movie was set.

Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie

Release Date: July 28, 2012

Director: Hayato Date

Running Time: 109 mins

Chronology: The anime is set after episode 251 in Naruto: Shippuden, as Naruto must already have met his mother. The fact that Konoha Shinobi were fighting against Pain, the Akatsuki, at the beginning, would put this before episode 150. This also undermines Naruto’s understanding about his parents. It just doesn’t work. It was later revealed that the Akatsuki members weren’t the real Akatsuki (which is why the defeated were so easy and could be pushed to the ground).

The Last: Naruto, the Movie

Release Date: December 6, 2014

Director: Tsuneo Kobayashi

Running Time: 112 Minutes

Chronology: This movie takes place after Episode 493 of Naruto: Shippuden anime. However, we recommend watching it after Episode 500 due to some things that happen at the end.

Boruto: Naruto the Movie

Release Date: August 7, 2015

Director: Hiroyuki Yamashita

Running Time: 96 minutes

Do you need to see all of the Naruto films?

As mentioned in the previous section, it is not necessary to watch anime movies. However, there are exceptions. Naruto is one such exception. The Naruto movies aren’t a must-see series. You can skip many of them and not feel like you missed anything.

The movies are not tied to the main story of the anime, and nine of the ten Naruto films are exactly that. You can skip the first nine movies if they don’t interest you. We don’t recommend them as they can be tedious and can be skipped if you’re not interested in losing any time.

The Last: Naruto the Movie is the only Naruto movie that you can’t skip. It is closely tied to the anime. The synopsis as well as the chronology were already explained. However, we must state that The Last is the conclusion of Naruto’s story. It shows how their romance blossomed and confirms that they did get married. We saw some scenes later, but that’s all.

Boruto: Naruto the Movie

Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki have graduated from the academy. This story is also explored in the series. You can either watch Episodes 50-65 and then go to the movie, or you can skip it entirely. This movie is actually an adaptation of “Boruto”, making it canon. Be aware that the stories are different from one movie to another.
