Led by Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Rock Lee are tasked to escort the extravagant Prince Michiru Tsuki and his spoiled son Hikaru to the prosperous Land of Moon when the two return from a long trip around the world. As if guarding two whimsical high-ranked individuals was not challenging enough, the prince's reckless decision to acquire an entire circus during their journey—mainly to entertain Hikaru's wish of owning the saber-toothed tiger featured in the show—further propels the mission into disarray.
Just as things are finally settling down, the arrival of Michiru's convoy at the Land of Moon is met with an unforeseen crisis—the greedy Chief Minister Shabadaba has taken over the country with the assistance of mysterious, powerful ninjas. While Kakashi's team relentlessly fights the enemy by any means necessary, the two princes are forced to confront a new outlook on life through adversity.

Where it came from
Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom was produced by Studio Pierrot and released in Japanese theaters in 2006 as the third feature-length entry in the Naruto franchise. Positioned during the original series' timeline before the Shippuden era, the film was developed to capitalize on the show's burgeoning international popularity by offering an original, standalone adventure that mirrored the high-stakes missions typical of the anime's narrative structure.
The film was directed by Toshiyuki Tsuru, who sought to maintain the visual consistency and character dynamics established in the television series while expanding the scope of the animation for a cinematic audience. Upon its release, the film was noted for its departure from the series' core canon, focusing instead on a self-contained narrative about a traveling troupe and a kingdom, a design choice that served to broaden the appeal of the Naruto brand beyond the established manga fanbase.
