This is a reminder of earlier days and gives us a different, yet familiar, Naruto story.

It feels long ago that Naruto (either the character or the plot) had something other than hugely dramatic and visual power levels to deal with. It’ll come as no surprise and won’t be a spoiler to suggest that Naruto tries to escape. This is the first half – the low powered half.

He tries to summon a single shadow clone and passes out. Harsh? A good diplomatic move designed to keep him alive? The audience is left to debate.Īt the prison he’s very quickly hit with a special jitsu that restricts his chakra. The Hidden Leaf send Naruto off to a special prison while they sort things out. In the opening scenes a ninja that looks like Naruto is responsible for some daring attacks. This is very much a movie of two halves – and I liked both. If you know about Sage Mode and will not be surprised at what Lord Killer Bee can transform in to then you can watch it without spoilers for wherever you are in the series. Blood Prison is the 5th Naruto Shippuden movie.
