Naruto is enclosed in a prison called Hôzuki-jo, which literally translates 'the devil's lamp castle 🏯'. The action takes place entirely in Kusagakure, the hidden village of grass. The story revolves around Naruto, enclosed for assaulting the Raikage and killing Jonins from different hidden villages. I wonder if it is even less interesting than The Lost Tower. Naruto Shippuden film 5: ' Blood Prison'Īs I wrote in the intro, I was not expecting much of this eighth Naruto movie and that's a good thing because it is just as poor as the previous ones. This short film is not of much interest, except for a few funny sequences.

At the end of the short film, Konohamaru comes to see Naruto as a Chunin to mock him. This disqualifies Naruto and thus, Konohamaru wins the fight. The battle is in full swing between the two friends: Konohamaru is not going to let it go and finally manages to hit Naruto with a punch, which will make him transform into Sennin mode. But his 'rival' Konohamaru also participates in the same Chunin exam, and they fall 🍁 against each other for the first fight.

After all, even if he is the hero of Konoha, Naruto is still a Genin. The actual Blood Prison movie begins with a short film of about ten minutes, in which Naruto participates in a new Chunin exam in the hidden sand village. The story is once again parallel to the scenario of the manga: it can fit but does not exist in the original version written by Masashi Kishimoto, who by the way was not involved in this Blood Prison film. I decided to go see it, even if I didn't appreciate the previous films so much. Although I'm following Naruto less closely, I was in Japan when the fifth Naruto Shippuden movie, Blood Prison, went out in cinemas.
