Synopsis
A group of enemies awakens Mōryō, a malevolent spirit whose spectral army threatens the nations of the shinobi world. Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Neji Hyūga and Rock Lee are assigned to escort Shion, a priestess capable of sealing the demon’s power, to a distant shrine.
Shion possesses another unsettling ability: visions foretelling the deaths of those around her, including Naruto. The film follows the escort team as its members confront Mōryō’s servants and Naruto challenges the apparent inevitability of the prophecy. It was the first theatrical feature based on the Shippuden era and is commonly placed shortly after the Kazekage Rescue Mission.
