Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, however, feel differently. Naruto is jealous of his comrades' congratulatory families, wishing for the presence of his own parents. Sakura, on the other hand, is angry at her embarrassing parents, and wishes for no parents at all."It further continues:"The two clash over their opposing ideals, but are faced with a more pressing matter when the masked Madara Uchiha suddenly appears and transports them to an alternate world. In this world, Sakura's parents are considered heroes—for they gave their lives to protect Konohagakure from the Nine-Tailed Fox attack 10 years ago. Consequently, Naruto's parents, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, are alive and well. Unable to return home or find the masked Madara, Naruto and Sakura stay in this new world and enjoy the changes they have always longed for."However, Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie sheds light on what happens when a threat forces Naruto and Sakura to fight for the Konohagakure of the alternate world and find a way back home.Stay tuned for more updates on Naruto and other popular anime shows like Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Tokyo Revengers, Blue Lock, and more.
