Road to Charasuke

Road to Charasuke is the official Drama CD for the 6th Naruto movie, Road to Ninja. It is available with the special edition DVD and Blu-Ray releases of the film.

Plot
The CD begins with Naruto Uzumaki telling where and when the later events take place. Naruto and Sakura have been in the Limited Tsukuyomi Genjutsu World for one day.

The actual events begin with Hinata Hyūga and Ino Yamanaka, who ran into each other previously, walking to Sakura Haruno's house. Ino insists that going to Sakura's house so early in the morning will only disturb her, but Hinata disregards her pleads and goes strait to her house, telling Ino that she will not have Sakura get any closer to Menma than she already has.

Sakura is heard to be in her room talking to herself about the rose that Sasuke Uchiha gave her. Hinata notices the rose and asks Sakura if Sasuke had given it to her. When Sakura confirmed Hinata suspicions that it had been Sasuke who gave her the rose, Hinata accused Sakura of "Two-timing" for "making moves on Menma" and then accepting a rose from Sasuke. Sakura insists that she feels nothing for Menma, though Hinata doesn't believe her. Hinata then comes to the conclusion that since Sakura accepted Sasuke's rose and looked happy, she was in love with him. Hinata tells Sakura that she will support her and tells her that she will plan something, so she should open her schedule up at noon, then leaving a confused Sakura.

Hinata starts to plan a group date that she will host so that Sasuke can seduce her and she can get with Menma. Ino is confused about Sakura's sudden change in personality, as she was always calling Sasuke "Charasuke" and disliked him. Ino tells Choji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara all that happened and wanting to protect Sakura from Sasuke, they plan to interfere with Hinata's plan. When seated, Choji uses a "Group Date Manual" to aid in their plan. He tries to control the flow of the party by ordering everyone's food, only to find that Sasuke had already chosen the food. In step two of Choji's Manual, the goal was to pay attention to the targets interests and swiftly serve the accurate food to her. Choji attempts to do this all fail due to Sasuke being able to read Sakura's movements with his Sharingan.

The third goal according to the Manual was to speak of a "lovely topic that catches the women's attention". Shikamaru insists that he could talk of something interesting, and gets everyone's attention. Shikamaru tries to talk of an interesting dog, but keeps messing up the most interesting parts and keeps starting over. After Shikamaru's failure to talk of an interesting topic, Hinata shoots him down and orders him to draw back. Choji then attempts to create an interesting subject and begins to talk about marriage. As he talks of his perfect girl and marriage, Ino, Hinata and Sakura cut him off, saying it was too much.

Sasuke proceeds with his plan and tells Sakura that he has something to say to her and he needed the two of them to be alone. Before they can leave, four girls come rushing into the restaurant and started barraging Sasuke with questions about why he was here, as he had apparently promised dates with them that day. It is revealed that Ino told the girls the location and time of the date. When Sakura questions Sasuke about the girls claims, he says that he does not remember and activates his Sharingan, putting the girls into a Genjutsu. In the Genjutsu, the girls were finished with their date and left satisfied. Sakura and Sasuke prepare to leave, when Ino becomes desperate and uses her Mind-Body Switch on Hinata. "Hinata" tells Sasuke to stop and takes him away with her. Confused, Sasuke asked her why she was stopping them, as it was what she wanted all along. "Hinata" Yells at Sasuke in a small voice telling him that she never wanted that. You can hear Sasuke's heart thumping in the background, as he ponders what the "Strange sensation" he was feeling was. Ino then leaves Hinata's body, returning to her own. Sasuke tells Hinata that he accepts her feeling and calls her "Koneko-Chan", something he called his past girlfriends. Confused and angered, Hinata punches Sasuke and leaves.

Ino apologises to Sakura as they leave the restaurant about how badly it all ended. Sakura only says that it was mildly disappointing, but she had fun, so it was okay.

Later, "Menma" sees Sasuke and points out that it looks like he got hit by some serious strength, angering Sasuke and ending the CD.
