The story takes place in the Hidden Leaf Village. Sakura Haruno is enjoying her life until she is bullied by Kin Tsuchi's henchmen. Ino Yamanaka came to her rescue, defending her. Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka are first met each other. Hinata Hyuga is watching them and hides, Sakura and Ino noticed. The duo looked up and nobody's up in the tree. At that moment, Sakura notices her and starts chases her, Ino joins in. During the chase, Tenten showed up and helped them to stop Hinata Hyuga from running away.

After Hinata Hyuga overcomes her fear, she and Tenten introduces themselves to Sakura and Ino. Then, God shows up and tells Sakura that she has chosen to be the leader of The Ronettes and has a plan for the four girls escape. With God's disappearance, Sakura tells the girls that God's plan is to have a earthquake once they escape. Following God's plan, Sakura Haruno packs up her stuff while the other girls pack up, too. As they leave, God destroys the village with Meteors.

The Ronettes begin their journey to New York City. Baxter Stockman, the head slaver, reports back to Kin Tsuchi, a powerful kunoichi and the ruler of Rice Paddies, and almost pays with his life for the loss of Kin's slaves, until he tells her that Ino Yamanaka saved Sakura Haruno. Kin sets off to follow them.

Meanwhile, Tenten starts singing, Sakura and the two join in. After the song, they encounter Zeniba with Cob, who heard about New York City. Cob gives The Ronettes some instructions: follow the sun to New York City and pass several landmarks, such as a statue formation that resembles William Hanna And Joseph Barbera and the "Mountains that Burn".

The Ronettes continue on, as Hinata Hyuga tells them about her life, Ino's stomach growls. Seeking New York City, they discover a cluster of food, which is abruptly depleted by a herd of people. Searching for remaining growth, they discover a single food, and obtain food by stacking up atop each other and pulling it down. Ino remains aloof, but at nightfall, everyone including herself gravitates to Sakura's side for warmth and companionship.

The next morning, they are attacked by the Sharptooth, but they manage to escape through a tunnel that is too small for him to follow. Beyond this, they discover the landmarks mentioned by God, Cob and Zeniba. Ino stubbornly decides to go another way and insults the trio, causing her to attack her in anger. The ensuing fight leads to the others following Ino, and Sakura is forced to continue alone. However, when Hinata become endangered by lava and Tenten gets stuck in a tar pit, Sakura returns to rescue them. Ino gets ambushed by a pack of "domeheads" who are also living in the Mountains that Burn; the rest of the group pose as a tar monster, scaring away the domeheads and frightening Ino. When she realizes who it really is, Ino angrily leaves the group. The trio followed her. It is not long, however, until she gives in to her guilt, being that her stubbornness put others in danger for her own selfish desires.

Sakura comforts Ino, consoling with Tenten and Hinata by singing. Reconciled with each other, Cob and Zeniba show up and Sakura Haruno realized that they're in New York City. They eventually successfully arrive at New York City and they are ready to have a party. Before they can do that, Cob then notices Kin Tsuchi approaching them, having followed The Ronettes. The other girls flee in terror from the beast while Sakura Haruno tries to fend her off. Ino Yamanaka and the others intervene, but are vicious battled aside. Both of them survive and Kin Tsuchi pursues Sakura Haruno to the edge of a cliff.

Soon after Kin manage to immobilise Sakura by grabbing her hair, and in the process, criticise her on putting more effort on her appearance as opposed to her training. The rest of the girls show up promptly attacked her, hurting and knocking Kin out for the remainder of the fight. The Ronettes fight Kin all the way to an abandoned theatre, where they kick her into a chamber filled with gas and she fires her gun, inadvertently blowing herself up.

With Kin gone, The Ronettes attend the premiere, where they learn that Baxter Stockman is on their side the whole time. God surprises Sakura by asking her to get a horse and Ino terminates her "time out" with Cob. The Ronettes celebrate their victory together as the film ends.
