Naruto: Path of the Ninja

Naruto: Path of the Ninja is a video game released in Japan for the Game Boy Advance. For its US release, it was ported to the Nintendo DS.

The sequel to this game is Naruto RPG 2: Chidori vs. Rasengan. That game was skipped in the US, with Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, the third game in the series, being released instead.

Trivia

 * In the original game, Itachi Uchiha could be fought in a dōjō in the Academy after clearing the game. In the later port, this option became inaccessible. However, Itachi is still in the end game credits suggesting that this was a programming error.
 * In this game, the movie poster of Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow can be seen outside of the Konoha Theatre.
