Plot
Template:Spoiler The movie takes place sometime during the filler episodes between the Sasuke Retrieval arc and the timeskip. Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, Sakura Haruno, and Rock Lee are assigned to protect the prince of the Land of the Moon during his world trip. The Land of the Moon is a very wealthy nation, so the prince tends to buy whatever he wants, and isn't too quick to follow the directions of his escorts. When the group happens upon a circus with a rare sabre-toothed tiger, he ends up purchasing not only it, but the rest of the animals as well. Now the team has to look over both the spoiled prince and his newly-acquired pets. On top of that, three powerful ninja are hunting them.
Clips of the movie show Sakura and Lee exhibiting some new skills, at least in the context of the anime. Sakura can enhance her strength, as seen when she smashes through a wall with a single punch, and Lee uses nunchaku, which Maito Gai uses in Part II of the manga. Template:Endspoiler
