Scheduled for release on November 25th, 2014, Viz Media has revealed the cover art and packaging design for Naruto: Shippuden – Road to Ninja, the sixth movie in the Shippuden franchise. The release is another in the slow series of changes Viz Media is making as the film is getting a DVD/BD combo release priced at $29.99 and a DVD only release priced at $19.99. The Blu-ray release gets an exclusive extra with an Art Gallery and both editions include Japanese Commercial Videos, Japanese Promotional Videos, Japanese Trailers.
The artwork below presents the DVD artwork first and then a look at the DVD/BD combo edition, which we also believe will be provided as a slipcover for the DVD edition.
Plot concept: Long ago, a mysterious masked shinobi unleashed the Nine-Tailed Fox onto the Village Hidden in the Leaves to spread chaos and destruction. But the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his wife Kushina Uzumaki sealed the Tailed Beast into their newborn son Naruto to save the village, foiling the shinobi’s plan. Years later, Naruto and his friends succeed in driving away the infamous Akatsuki, who have mysteriously returned from the dead. Upon returning to the village, the young shinobi are praised by their families for completing a dangerous mission. Reminded of how alone he is, Naruto begins to wonder what it’s like to have parents, when a strange masked figure appears before him – the same masked shinobi responsible for the death of his parents!
