Synopsis
Naruto: The Cross Roads While on a mission to locate a missing person, Kakashi Hatake becomes separated from his team—Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno—after they fall into a mysterious trap. The situation escalates when the three are attacked by unknown ninjas, who kidnap Sakura. Naruto and Sasuke are motivated to save her, fighting fiercely. Even though Sasuke reveals disturbing details about the mission, they stay committed to bringing the group back together and completing their task.
Background
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Naruto manga serialization, the spin-off premiered at the 2009 Jump Festa Anime Tour. It used the same CGI graphics as featured in the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm game. Although the OVA's story takes place as early as Naruto's episode 19, it also contains a scene set in between two of Naruto: Shippuden's arcs: the end of "Fated Battle Between Brothers" and the beginning of "Five Kage Summit," or from episodes 144 to 197 respectively.
