Talk:Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie

Evidence
Here is a link to the article from Anime News Network if you are wondering what basis this page has to exist. Umishiru (talk) 12:22, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've mentioned it in my summary. akz! ANBU Symbol.svg 12:23, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just being extra cautious, some don't read summaries and may look to talk pages to see whats going on. Either way its better to be safe than sorry.Umishiru (talk) 12:27, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

Tobi
Can we add Tobi in his infobox that he will appear on this movie as depicted in the promotional poster? Shakhmoot (Talk) 10:20, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yup.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 12:09, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

Canon?
Will this movie be considered canon since Masashi Kishimoto himself will write the story? I know we don't copy from other wikis but I'm just asking since the One Piece wiki considers the Strong World movie to be canon since the Strong World story was conceived by Eiichiro Oda.... 41.124.202.37 (talk) 06:57, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * I suppose that depends if Kishimoto indicates that it is. Skitts (talk) 07:16, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way, it's not the first movie that Kishimoto penned the storyline and characters design himself. Kishimoto contributed on writing of the third movie Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire with Junki Takegami. As we know that many of characters who has been shown in the movie could be found in the Fourth Shinobi World War. Shakhmoot  (Talk) 08:25, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes but isn't Kishimoto-sensei doing this one entirely? If we're counting those cutscenes in the Generations game as canon then this is the same ne? Well, not that I believe that it should be treated in any special way. Movie stuff is movie stuff. But! in our hearts... we'll know T_T--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 09:55, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * While the kekkei genkai shinobi from Inheritors of the Will of Fire did appear in the manga, I don't recall it ever being reported that Kishimoto participated in that movie. We know nothing on how everything happened. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:52, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm with Omni on this one. I never heard that Kishimoto was involved in The Inheritors of the Will of Fire. Road to Ninja is the first movie (with confirmation) that will be entirely written by Kishimoto. Sparxs77 (talk) 16:35, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I wasn't lying for my thought, I quoted that from the Wikipedia page of this movie and also Kishimoto wrote something as a massage in the end of this movie broadcast that he hope that everyone will enjoy with watching this movie.  Shakhmoot  (Talk) 17:01, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd have to check in the movie for that message, but I don't see Wikipedia's source for Kishimoto actually writing in this. The external links I found in that article, such as IMDB and Anime News Network say nothing about him writing it. ANN lists him only as the original creator of the series, just like in the other movies. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:45, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Well ... since Tobi wears his old attire, I think this movie is non-canon just like the others, even if written by Kishi. --Elveonora (talk) 23:17, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Apparently it's set in an alternate universe where Kushina and Minato were never killed. 207.216.193.21 (talk) 20:34, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * And the source for that is? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:00, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * His arse of course.
 * Ediit- Actually, he got it from the Wikipedia article. However, there is no source for that there also. Better go check up on it and remove it so no one else comes here and puts that in until it's confirmed. Skitts (talk) 22:48, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd say it's safe to assume that seeing as its being hailed as a "10th Anniversary" movie, whatever happens in the movie will probably be non-canon, and speculation that it's set in an alternate universe seems feasible. I'd say it's only logical to assume, such as with the other films, that characters/events will not alter the current manga storyline. Especially considering the anime is quite a while behind still. 49.196.165.6 (talk) 18:00, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

what is it about again ?
I'm not getting it ... an alternative universe where certain events happened differently ? Still dunno the purpose of this movie then --Elveonora (talk) 22:51, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

Families?
Did it just say that we will see the families of the Akatsuki members?--D.G 03:35, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Would it better just to remove the last part of "Naruto and Sakura attacked by the masked man"?

I mean look at the official Naruto webpage? The big blue text is not part of the summary just a side text, much like most of it. As a figure of speech. Because the fans such as Narusaku are believing that the movie is about "Naruto and Sakura" and will give little focus on Konoha 11. I mean look at the first movie poster it seemed most about Naruto's parents playing a big role than Sakura, and Team 8 and 10 plus Kakashi and Gai are playing a key role of helping Naruto stop the Genjutsu that Tobi is using. Just a speculation.
