Plot
Assigned a mission to capture a missing-nin named Mukade, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Yamato and Sai wield chakra-knives. At the one thousand-year-old desert city ruins of Loran, they confront Mukade attempting to dominate the Ninja World with the power of the Rymyaku (the Ley Line in English), an ancient chakra flowing deep underground. He breaks the seal created by Minato Namikaze to unleash the Rymyaku's power, creating a light that engulfs Naruto and Yamato, before Sai and Sakura ride on an ink bird and attempt to escape.
Naruto and Yamato are sent twenty years into the past. When Naruto awakens from this time slip, he meets the queen of Loran, Sra. It is later revealed that Mukade traveled to the past six years before Naruto and changed his name to Anrokuzan, the minister of Loran who had killed Sra's mother Sramu. Naruto agrees to protect Sra, after Anrokuzan declares about the kidnapped citizens and creates to summon the "Puppet Ninja Forces". Minato, Shibi Aburame, Chza Akimichi, and Kakashi Hatake, on their own mission to stop Anrokuzan, appear to support the heroes. While they rescue Sara's people and Naruto holds Minato's kunai, Sra recalls her memory about Sramu's lullaby. Anrokuzan uses the parts of the tower to become a giant defensive puppet. Minato and Naruto use their regenerative chakra enough to create the legendary Super Rasengan. After Sra disables Anrokuzan's technique, Minato exposes Anrokuzan's weak spot and Naruto destroys it. As Yamato and Kakashi rescue Naruto and Sra, Minato uses the kunai to completely seal off the power. Just as the heroes vanish from the past, Minato erases all of their memories to keep history unchanged.
With Mukade gone, Sakura and Sai reunite with Naruto and Yamato in the present. As they are about to leave the ruins, they run into Queen Sra's daughter, who kept the old chakra blade that belonged to Naruto. She informs that it was given to her mother by a 'hero in a dream. Naruto recognizes his blade, reaches out to his back where he usually keeps his blade but it isn't there. He's left dumbfounded, but Sakura pinches his ear and accuses him of having a perverted dream.
