 Typical NarutoJun 14, 2007
By Charles Stuckey
"stuck-fla"
This seems to fall between the 2nd and 3rd seasons, before the Chunin Exam story arc but doesn't really have a specific timeframe stated. A good Naruto storyline. Nothing spectacular, but not disappointing either, just more Naruto. That's not a bad thing...

A True Naruto Fan's ReviewJun 08, 2007
By L. Bagley
This dvd should be considered a mini-movie. It exsists outside of the series story arcs. I think this a fun and dramatic story within the Naruto universe. This dvd contains both the english televised version and the uncut original with japanese audio, which is always a pluse for me. Any true Naruto fan would find this dvd to be a must have.

 It should have stayed lostAug 28, 2007
By Dash
I am a Naruto fan somewhat, and I had high hopes for this. However, it fell short of my expectations. The story is about Naruto and the rest of his team escorting a cowardly leader named Shibuki to his village, but things get mixed up when an old enemy named Suien appears in the village and tries to steal it's treasure, the Hero's Water. While this may seem exciting, it's actually quite boring once you actually watch it. Naruto and Shibuki talk for an extended period of time, which takes out a lot. So far, this is bad. Very bad.
I won't spoil anything, but if you're a Sakura fan, don't buy this. She's tied up half the time. While the fight scenes are at least decent to good, they don't last long enough to hold your attention for very long, Thus comes to the conclusion of my review. It may seem good to some people, but to most, it's just some practical joke created for a good series. A very bad pratical joke.

 Not the best story for Naruto fans, but not the worst eitherJul 13, 2007
By X. Casto
"xcasto"
Though it fell a little short of my expectations, it might have been better if it was released to the American market at an earlier date, I did like the DVD much better than when it aired on Cartoon Network and would recommend that Fans of the show add this disc to their collection.
For those looking for answers to certain questions raised during the show this doesn't have any. It also doesn't build on any other story lines the show has produced.
What this OVA does offer is another adventure showing Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura using their skills in ways that have become common. Apparently this takes place sometime after the third Hokage dies, but there is no mention of his death.

Only 2 types of people should watch this...Jan 03, 2008
By B. S. Windon
"Better Than You"
Only two types of people should watch this OVA... Hardcore Naruto fans, and possibly people that have never seen Naruto and want a preview of what the series has to offer. If you hate Naruto, you'll hate this. If you don't mind Naruto, you won't mind this, but you'll wish you didn't buy it. This OVA is purely worth the money for hardcore Narutards. And with saying that... I'm glad I brought it. It's a good fix for fans of Naruto wanting just some good dumb Naruto fun.
Taking place between the Zabuza arc and the Chunin Exams arc, it offers nothing new... but if you like what Naruto already offered at that time, you'll like this.
Coming from a hardcore Naruto fan... I'd give it a B.
