The second cinematic adventure for the Hidden Leaf ninja, Naruto the Movie 2: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, is now streaming on Crunchyroll. This standalone film, produced by Studio Pierrot, follows Naruto, Shikamaru, and the genin team as they become entangled in a battle for a powerful artifact in a lost civilization, set after the anime's Sasuke Recovery Mission arc.
Released in 2005, the movie offers fans a chance to revisit the early days of the franchise, before the events of Naruto Shippuden. It delivers the signature blend of ninja action, supernatural powers, and shonen camaraderie that defined the original series, featuring a primarily child cast and martial arts combat.
With the addition of this film, Crunchyroll continues to expand its Naruto library, offering a comprehensive collection for fans of the enduring franchise. This release provides a self-contained story that can be enjoyed independently or as a supplement to the main series.
