Yukihime Ninpōchō dattebayo ! !, lit. Great Action Scene ! Snow Princess ' Book of Ninja Arts ) is a 2004 Japanese animated film based on Masashi Kishimoto 's manga and anime series. It was released in Japan on March 21, 2004. The popularity of the series has spawned several sequels, beginning with Naruto the Movie : Legend of the Stone of Gelel. The film is set after episode 101. The ending song Home Sweet Home is performed by Yuki. The English adaptation replaced the song with Jeremy Sweet 's `` Never Give Up '', due to licensing restrictions. An original video animation, Konoha Annual Sports Festival ( 木ノ葉 運動会 Konoha Undōkai ), was included with the Japanese release of the film. The ten - minute opening short revolves around Naruto Uzumaki 's inability to use the bathroom while participating in a sports tournament. It is notable because virtually every character, living or dead, in the Naruto universe makes an appearance in it ( most of them standing in a restroom - queue ). Minato Namikaze makes a cameo in the shot. Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Releases 4 Reception 5 References 6 Further reading 7 External links Plot Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno watch a film starring Yukie Fujikaze, in a local cinema. Kakashi Hatake has summoned them to watch it as preparation for their next mission : to prevent Yukie, who plays Princess Gale in the films, from being captured during production of her latest film. Yukie is later revealed to be Koyuki Kazahana, a princess from an island known as the Land of Snow. Doto Kazahana, who is revealed to be Koyuki 's uncle, was responsible for the murder of her father Sosetsu in a coup d'etat. During the shooting of the film, Doto 's henchmen, wearing Chakra armor, attempt to capture the princess, but Team 7 manages to delay the princess from being captured. Doto eventually captures Koyuki and kills her bodyguards, who reveal themselves in an attempt to protect and restore her rightful place as the ruler of the Land of Snow. Naruto enters the ship to rescue the princess, only to be captured and forced to wear a chakra - draining device. Doto forces Koyuki to hand over a crystal necklace her father had given her when she was young, thinking that this is a key that can unlock the hidden treasure Sosetsu had left behind before detaining both Koyuki and Naruto. Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi infiltrate the fortress while Naruto and Koyuki escape from captivity. They confront Doto but he manages to capture the crystal necklace and flees with Koyuki. Naruto proceeds to follow Doto while the remaining members of Team 7 confront Doto 's henchmen. Kakashi gets his revenge by defeating Doto 's henchman Nadare Roga, while Sasuke and Sakura defeat the other two henchmen Fubuki Kakuyoku and Mizore Fuyukuma. Meanwhile, Doto discovers the hidden treasure to transform the island into the Land of Spring using a heat generator. Naruto confronts him in a duel, but gets overpowered while Sasuke uses his Chidori to weaken Doto 's armour. Soon after, Naruto releases his energy and uses his new Seven Colored Chakra Rasengan, killing Doto and activating a mirror to transform the land. In the aftermath, Koyuki decides to reclaim her rightful place of royalty and even mentions personally with Team 7 that even in the life of royalty, her acting career will not end.

The OVA will, however, appear in the North American DVD release. The DVD was released on September 4, 2007. The film premiered on Cartoon Network on September 8, 2007.

It includes the ten - minute short `` Konoha Annual Sports Festival '' that was originally shown with the Japanese release of the film, the complete soundtrack to the movie, documentaries of the American voice recording of the movie, movie art postcards, and more. Reception Helen McCarthy in 500 Essential Anime Movies calls it `` a good introduction to the main themes of the series, with ideas of persistence, determination, believing in yourself, and never giving up '', and praises setting and backgrounds, `` with the frozen Northern landscapes looking especially good ''.
