Naruto - The Movie - "The Mission to Rescue the Snow Princess"

Kakashi requests Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke to watch a movie on Princess Fuun prior to their next mission. After the movie, while waiting for Kakashi sensei to turn up, the actress playing Princess Fuun, Fujikaze Yukie, appears on horseback and is pursued by several horsemen. The three engaged the pursuers and Naruto leaves with the princess as the rest of the horsemen are subdued by Sakura and Sasuke. Kakashi then appears and informs them that the leader of the horsemen, Sandayuu is actually the client of the mission.
At the riverside, Yukie ditches Naruto as she rides off on horseback. Naruto follows her and they both fall off the horse as a couple of kids emerge at a junction. When the kids realize that it is Yukie, they request for her autograph, but were rejected. Meanwhile, the director of the movie tells Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke that the horsemen were stuntmen and master guards of the studio. He reveals that their mission is to escort Yukie to Snow Country to continue the filming. Sandayuu exclaims that Yukie started running away when she was told she had to go to the Snow Country.
Naruto trails Yukie for her autograph but is sprayed with pervert repellant whilst he was staring at a Hexagonal Crystal she was wearing. At a bar, Yukie refuses to follow the team to board the next ship to the Snow Country, and Kakashi has no choice but to make her unconscious using his Sharingan. In the next scene, a group of Shinobi is seen reporting to their master that Fujikaze Yukie is actually Princess Kazahana Koyuki that they have been searching for the past ten years. They also mention that Hatake Kakashi will be escorting her there and that it is fated that they will meet again.






Yukie wakes up and finds herself on the ship heading toward the Snow Country. They act out a scene of the movie on board. Later on, the crew informs the director that an iceberg blocks the path of the ship. The director decides to land and start filming there. While filming, the Snow Shinobi appears. Fubuki and Mizore attack Princess Koyuki, while Rouga Nadare confronts Kakashi. Fubuki uses Hyouton Tsubame Fubuki (Ice Element, Swallow Attack) on Sasuke, which counters with Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu. Fubuki then uses Hyouro no Jutsu (Ice Prison Technique). Mizore is pummeling Naruto and Kakashi uses Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu (Water Element, Water Dragon Blast Technique) to assist Naruto. Naruto notices that there’s something wrong with the Shinobi’s armor. Kakashi explains that the armor is Chakra Armor and Rouga adds that the armor increases chakra, improves techniques and nullifies and reflects enemy chakra. Rouga uses Hyouton, Haryuu Muuko (Ice Element, Piercing Dragon Fierce Tiger) and Kakashi counters with Suiton Suiryuudan. Sasuke almost captures Fubuki, but she escapes using her armor wings. Mizore attacks Yukie and wounds Sakura on the way. Kakashi tries to help, but Rouga uses Hyouton, Itsukaku Hakuegei (Ice Element, One Horned Whale) to stop him. Kakashi copies the Jutsu and buys enough time for everyone to escape.
On the ship, Kakashi explains to Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke that Yukie is a real Princess. Sandayuu adds that he was in service to King Sousetsu but ten years ago, Dotou, Sousetsu’s brother, hired some Shinobi to revolt and take over the country. Kakashi saved the princess and had to run away.
Sandayuu pleads for the princess to overthrow Dotou and become Queen of the country. Yukie refuses. The director then informs that he intends to continue filming the movie. On the trail, Sandayuu tells Kakashi that lots of residents of the Snow Country are waiting for Yukie on the other side of a cave. They stop to film, but the crew tells the director that Yukie ran away. Naruto finds Yukie and carries her back. Railway tracks appear out of the snow through a chakra source and a train chases Naruto and the princess. They barely make it out of the cave when the train stops and Dotou addresses Yukie. Sandayuu brings an army of men from the Snow Country 50th Brigade to attack Dotou but a rain of blades emerge from Dotou’s train wounding or killing the men. Sasuke and Sakura use explosives to damage the train, but Dotou gets away. Sandayuu, at his dying breath, requests the Princess to believe in herself like he and the rest believed in her. A flying ship appears and captures Yukie. Naruto hangs on to the ship. In the ship, Dotou explains that a massive weapon is hidden in the Rainbow Glaciers and that the Hexagonal Crystal that Yukie has is the key to the weapon. Naruto appears but all his forms using Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Mass Shadow Clone Technique) is captured. They attach a chakra control device on Naruto to drain off all his chakra. Yukie hands over her crystal, but the crystal is a fake as Kakashi switched it in the ship.
In the prison, Yukie tells Naruto that she stopped believing that Spring existed. Naruto tells her he will prove that Sandayuu and Sousetsu were right and breaks the chains to free himself. He tries to open the cell, but is electrocuted.
Kakashi attacks the castle at night. Naruto escapes with Yukie and they meet up with Kakashi. Kakashi returns the crystal and they escape with Sasuke and Sakura. They meet Dotou at the main hall. Yukie passes the crystal to Dotou, but then stabs him with a dagger. Dotou strangles Yukie and then reveals that he is protected by the new chakra armor. Dotou carries Yukie to the Rainbow Glaciers and opens the weapon using the crystal.
Fubuki and Mizore pursue Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura uses Sakura Fubuki no Jutsu (Sakura Blizzard Technique) to defeat Mizore, while Sasuke defeats Fubuki with Shishi Rendan (Lion Combo). When the two Shinobi land near each other, their armors explode. Meanwhile, Kakashi faces Rouga. Kakashi uses Raikiri (Lightning Edge) while Rouga uses Hyouton, Rouga Nadare no Jutsu (Ice Element, Rouga Nadare’s Technique). Kakashi defeats Rouga using Taijutsu.
Back at Rainbow Glaciers, the key activates a warming generator that melts the ice. Naruto appears and Dotou uses Hyouton, Kokuryuu Boufuusetsu (Ice Element, Black Dragon Blizzard). Sasuke appears and uses Chidori to damage Dotou’s armor. Naruto calls upon the Kyuubi to give him strength and retaliates with Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Dotou uses Souryuu Boufuusetsu and destroys all the clones. Naruto has Rasengan ready to strike behind Dotou. Just as Naruto strikes, the seven-colored chakra appears and magnifies his Rasengan. The crystals around cracks and the Snow Country turns to Spring. An illusion of her father talking to Yukie about the future appears.
Princess Koyuki ends up as Queen of Snow Country but tells the Konoha ninja that she’ll be doubling as Queen and Actress. The movie ends with Sasuke passing Naruto an autographed photo of Yukie kissing him in the hospital.
