How To Watch The Naruto Movies In Order

I know what you’re thinking: why would I need to watch the Naruto films? Isn’t the manga and 220 episodes of the anime series enough? Reader, they are not. But then again, you already knew that. The series follows young orphan Naruto Uzumaki, who trains as a ninja in the village of Konohagakure. He is treated like an outcast because he carries the spirit of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed into his body (like one does). Despite this, he works relentlessly to pursue his dreams of one day becoming Hokage—the leader of his village.

Listen, I still have plenty of secret jutsu to learn before I become the greatest Hokage. Sure the Rinnegan and Rasenshuriken are cool, but what I’m interested in is a new sort of harem jutsu. We’ve all seen Naruto’s sexy harem jutsu with cute girls, then his reverse harem jutsu with cute boys. But what I want to see is a substitution jutsu combined with the harem jutsu. So when someone throws a kunai at me and I need to fake my death, POOF! I’m a log. But not just any log. A really sexy log. And hopefully, the answer lies in one of these movies.

And if the answer is NOT in one of the following movies, then perhaps I shall find it in the upcoming live action Naruto film currently being developed by Lionsgate. Do I trust Lionsgate to provide me with a satisfactory answer to my sexy ninjutsu questions? No, I do not. After all, I’m half expecting Scarlett Johansson to announce that she’s playing Naruto any second now. What does Scarlett Johansson know about turning into a hot log? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Either way, I’m gonna watch all of the Naruto movies. In this, the canonical order:

1. Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow (Watch after episode 101 of Naruto)
2. Naruto the Movie 2: Legend of the Stone of Gelel (Watch after episode 160 of Naruto)
