Konohagakure hosts a special tournament for ninjas of all ranks, stirring up fervor among the rookies who are eager to prove themselves in a competition against their superiors. Additionally, the winner is granted the opportunity to create their own village decree! Despite his enthusiasm to claim the prize, Naruto Uzumaki fails to focus on the game's objective as he becomes obsessed with confronting his teacher, Kakashi Hatake, in single combat.
Released on a bonus DVD with the Japanese edition of the PlayStation 2 Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 video game, Naruto Narutimate Hero 3: Tsuini Gekitotsu! Jounin vs. Genin!! Musabetsu Dairansen Taikai Kaisai!! provides players with hints for the game's RPG mode. Although seemingly falling within the Naruto series' timeline between the end of "Search For Tsunade" arc and the "Sasuke Recovery Mission" arc, the OVA is considered non-canon as it features two characters that were already deceased according to the original story.
