Naruto: Clash of Ninja

Naruto: Clash of Ninja (known in Japan as Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen) is the first installment of the Gekitou Ninja Taisen (Clash of Ninja) series. This was the very first 3-D cel-shaded Naruto game. It was released for the Gamecube in Japan on April 11, 2003 and in the US on March 7, 2006.

You can select between different game modes such as One Player mode, Two Player Battle mode, Play Against Computer mode, Survival mode, Time Attack mode, Training mode, and Story mode. You can unlock new features such as new characters, stages, and modes by accomplishing certain tasks in the game (i.e. to unlock both Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hatake's alternate forms, you must first play story mode to unlock Rock Lee, then beat one player mode with all players twice). The Story mode follows episodes 1-19 (to an extent) but the only character playable is Naruto Uzumaki, making the story a little twisted of how it's supposed to be.
