To celebrate the recent theatrical release in Japan of Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie, last week’s issue of SJ Alpha had a special Naruto manga one-shot. But that’s not all! Both the Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals and Naruto Shippuden anime aired episodes commemorating the event!

Naruto Shippuden
[Episode 491: Road to Sakura]

Kiba as a cat lover?! Shino as a horticulturist?! Shikamaru as an idiot?!

In the movie, Tobi’s dastardly plan switches the Leaf ninja’s personalities to their complete opposite! In this special episode, Sakura loses her memory, so her friends take on ill-fitting roles to help an amnesiac Sakura recover her memory.

Naruto Spin-Off: Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals

[Episode 17: The New Naruto  Movie Premiere!]

Lee and Tenten fight over an issue of JUMP to get Naruto movie news.  While there, a bright light blinds them, and now everyone’s personalities are totally different!

The movie’s almost here, but Tsunade’s worried it’s lacking something. Tenten overhears  her and teams up with Lee and Neji to figure out what’s wrong.
