Clash of Ninja

Being the title character, Naruto has appeared in all of the series’ movies thus far. In the first Naruto movie, Team 7 is assigned to escort Yukie Fujikaze, the secretive actress of a movie character, whom Naruto becomes obsessed with, to the Land of Snow to shoot the movie’s sequel.[37] In the second Naruto movie Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru Nara get involved with a war between inhabitants of Sunagakure. In the third film, Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi, and Rock Lee are assigned to escort the prince of the Land of the Moon to his land, though once they reach the nation, the throne has been seized by the noble Shabadaba. In the fourth movie, Naruto becomes the guard of Shion who predicts his death. A fifth film is currently in development.[38]

Naruto appears in all three OVAs produced for the series, helping Konohamaru to find a four leaf clover in the first OVA,[39] joining his team in escorting a ninja named Shibuki to his village and helping him fight the missing-nin that stole the village’s “Hero’s Water” in the second OVA,[40] and participating in a tournament in the third OVA.[41] In the OVA shown before the first Naruto movie, Naruto has to use the toilet, only to be prevented in each attempt by his fellow Genin and his own mistakes.

Naruto is a playable character in all of the Naruto video games. In several of the titles, it is possible to unlock and play a version of him enhanced by the Nine-Tailed Fox as well as a variant with his own versions of Rock Lee and Might Guy’s trademark techniques. In the Naruto: Clash of Ninja video game series, Naruto is playable in various stages of the demon fox’s manifestation characterized by a red-colored chakra. Kishimoto liked the presentation of these forms enough that he imitated one of them for the manga cover of volume 26.[42]

In the Naruto Collectible Card Game, most of Naruto’s Ninja Cards are very similarly designed. Many of them focus on his being initially weak in stats, only getting stronger after being injured. His abilities focus on this, making him stronger based on moments of desperation (such as by exhausting the Deck or by using the opponent’s advantages for Power).

In the 62nd episode of the Gintama anime, the protagonist Gintoki Sakata is shown saying “dattebayo” while reading an issue of Weekly Shonen Jump with Naruto on the cover.[43]
