Apr 22, 2010 geemaa Recommended First of all, don’t watch this movie unless you’re interested in Naruto because it’s a movie that mainly appeals to Naruto fans. I’ll assume you’ve watched to at least episode 120, Kakashi Chronicles, of Naruto Shippuden because there are references to Kakashi’s old friend. There are also references to Asuma. Just like the previous movies, Naruto goes crazy with his rasengan and shadow clone techniques in this movie too. But this is the best Naruto movie that’s been released so far. The main enemy of this movie is Hiruko, some ex-leaf ninja that wants to become the perfect ninja by absorbing ninja with bloodline limits. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 22, 2010 Cobbles Recommended I had relatively low expectations for this movie, seeing how all the previous ones were pretty bad. They all followed the same formula, which is to say Naruto preaches his views onto some filler character causing them to change their ideals and it would always end with Naruto rasengan-ing the big baddie. It was alright the first time, but it got stale after the 2nd movie and became absolutely abysmal for the next 3. Needless to say that asides from maybe a couple cool moments, all the Naruto movies have been bad, definitely not worth a watch. But than this movie came along and sorta ...

Nov 4, 2019 mouthpiece Not Recommended This is the sixth Naruto movie, made around the time Pain invaded Konoha and the Ninja War was close to beginning. At this point the whole show turned to a slow ass war drama with overblown tragedy that had no consistency in power levels. The movie tries to build on that by keep mentioning all the people who have died so far in the show. In theory that is good for reminding us of all the cool stuff that have happened so far and the various sacrifices that were made for the sake of maintaining peace. Unfortunately the story in this movie is doing a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 4, 2010 8thSin Recommended "Naruto Shippuuden: The Inheritors of the Will of Fire" is the third installment of "Naruto Shippuuden" movie and sixth overall. Hiruko, a former Konoha ninja who abandoned the village a decade ago, declares war against all five major nations in the name of Konoha Village. He had perfected the "Chimera Technique", which absorbs opponent chakra and skills, and starts kidnapping ninjas with Blood Line Limits. The final target of Blood Line users is Kakashi, who possesses the Sharingan from Obito. To prevent the impending 4th Ninja War, Tsunade sends Kakashi on a suicidal mission to stop Hiruko.

Apr 22, 2010 Gleam_Queen Recommended The plot is very lousy, seriously. Here's a very breif summary... Tsuade, Jiraya and Orochimaru had a weak childhood friend we didn't know about. This person later becomes and evil villan, a threat to all nations. When Kakashi was a teenager, this person put a curse on him, a curse he still carries to this day. Kakashi is destined to die! He undertakes a kamakaze mission. What's lousy you may ask? ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 7, 2012 Santoryu_XBurner Recommended By far my favorite Naruto Movie to date in my opinion. This one involves the whole of Konoha 11 and allows us to see more of the other characters as well as their combination of jutsu's that I just love and seeing all of them work together. A really good movie that has a good amount of action and focuses on nakama power which I always love. Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 19, 2022 Justykanna Recommended I haven't been a huge fan of many of the Naruto movies. I find the missions have felt pretty pointless, even though most of them deliver with regards to flashy fights and don't take forever to finish. Naruto Shippuuden 3: Inheritors of Will of Fire feels like the first good Naruto movie, which would be their sixth attempt at doing so. Story: Naruto Shippuuden 3: Inheritors of Will of Fire would see Hiruko, an Ex-Hidden Leaf ninja, who was essentially exiled due to the experiments he was performing in order to create the perfect body - which should sound familiar to some older Naruto ...

Feb 20, 2013 explicit707 Mixed Feelings I am not a fan of extra material or of movies spawned from anime spawned from manga series. That being said, I still have seen most of the Naruto movies. This particular movie I can't say "let me down" because I go into these things expecting complete and utter filler nonsense. This story is half that. It has some really good fan fare, but then it has some really bad nonsense that is out of place in the series. Someone who has never seen the series or any other movie might find this ok, hence my score. The story in this movie seemed like it would ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 12, 2016 CobaltSigma Mixed Feelings **THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN A FEW SPOILERS** So far everything is seeming to slowly go up in quality with the last 2 Naruto Shippuuden movies and this movie helps that trend. Story: (4/10) The story of Naruto: Shippuuden Movie 3 - Hi no Ishi wo Tsugu Mono begins with the potential outbreak of a Fourth Great Ninja World War, a few ninjas with Kekkei Genkai abilities begin to disappear from the land of Lightning, Earth, Water and Wind. One of the Kekkei Genkai members plans to become an immortal perfect ninja by using his chimera technique and the only thing left to complete it is to absorb Kakashi. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 23, 2014 Xsama Mixed Feelings The short: Ninjas with Kekkei Genkai begins to disapear from various villages and it turns out that the villain, uses these ninjas inorder to obtain their power. He has caught 3, but missing the last one in order to be fully complete, which would make him a perfect ninja. He casts a jutsu in form of a projectile which is broadcasted through all the villages, claiming that he's from Leaf Village and lay out his plans. This causes disarray with the villages, as they are now targeting Konoha - even sandvillage. While Konoha is at risk of invasion, Kakashi figures out a plan to stop ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 9, 2017 Jokuc Mixed Feelings Like pretty much all other Naruto films, the third one follows the same template. Sadly, it too suffers from a lot of problems. **Minor spoilers** We are introduced to a new character who supposedly were a friend of Jiraiya & co, although never mentioned or seen in the main series. This character and his story is basically a copy-paste of Orochimaru's, though we are not told what happened to him after certain events. Suddenly, he appears with his new over-powered abilities which he got using a technique that up to this point has been unheard of. Being a mediocre shinobi back in the day, it is ...

Dec 15, 2017 Tobori_ Mixed Feelings 1. "Those aren't normal dogs. Why? Because they don't look like normal dogs" 2. "I knew you two were close but I didn't expect this" Watch if you've seen Shippuden up to episode 122. -Below here isn't an essential part of my review but MAL wan't more words- Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 16, 2012 Meg-nyan Recommended Note: Before you watch this movie, I suggest you get caught up with the series up to the Kakashi Chronicles and after the Asuma vs. Hidan fight because the movie makes quite a few references towards these incidents. Now, I personally thought that this movie had a pretty good mix of all the components of a Naruto movie: character development, action, and dialogue meant to move the watcher. There are also many cameo shots of nearly every minor and major character in the series... except Sasuke ((sigh)). The plot of the movie is to follow Naruto and the rest of the gang as the chase ...

Feb 9, 2017 Duckielover151 Mixed Feelings Okay, so I've seen enough of them by now to know that the Naruto franchise has had its ups and downs when it comes to the movies. Some of them are actually quite good... And some of them are pretty terrible. I'm a little torn about this one. My opinion of the plot swung between it being bad... to it just being unnecessary. I know, Naruto is not exactly known for subtlety, but the main point of this movie-- really showcasing the will of fire and what it means to their village-- was just further expounding on something that the series proper had already handled ...

Mar 19, 2020 lethargilistic Mixed Feelings This one is, so far, the closest to what I've been hoping for out of these Naruto movies. It spent a lot more time with the side cast and actually tried developing some ideas from the show, particularly the bells lession from very early in the show. I liked how much time it spent in the Leaf Village proper and how the main emotional conflicts rise from the characters we know instead of randos from the other movies' escort missions. The scene where Sakura broke Naruto out of jail was great, and there were a bunch of other good individual scenes, too. But the story itself ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 10, 2010 kingmerlin Recommended At first I wasn't going to this movie because all the previous ones were pretty bad, but I saw it anyway. I had relatively low expectations however I was pleasantly surprised! The story was good; it was different from the other movies (they had the same plot with different characters). I really liked how it involved most (if not all) of the characters from the series. What I enjoyed most is that the movie ties in with the main story of the series unlike the other Naruto movies. The one complaint I have is that this movie follows the formula as the other Naruto movies. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 24, 2020 SageToad Recommended A breath of fresh air in the series of Naruto films. This movie had an original plot and an original threat to the village. Although I knew the characters would ultimately be safe, I was curious to see how they would get out of this dilemma. Great mix of characters where everyone gets some screentime. You get to see essentially all of the leaf shinobi get in on some of the action. The film posed a moral and ethical dilemma that caused the shinobi to question where their loyalties lie. It had hints of a civil war. I didn't understand the immediate tension caused between nations. They see a ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 13, 2020 Hudsonwt Mixed Feelings Pretty fun movie for the most part. Honestly, all of these movies are kind of all over the place. To be fair though, the Shippuden movies have so far been the best Naruto movies. The character interactions are pretty great, the action is fun to watch, and the animation is overall solid. The dialogue is pretty crap at times though. I was actually really surprised at the amount of character development that they had in this movie though. Shikamaru had some pretty good screen time. The worst thing about all of these movies is how underutilized Gaara is though. They include him in the movie, ... Read more Open Gift Report
