As most of you probably know, Masashi was highly involved while creating NARUTO THE MOVIE - Road To Ninja. He did for example the storyboard, character designes, dialogues and so on... So you could say he did EVERYTHING except of animating the movie (animators/ Studio Pierrot did)
That's why fans call this movie is common.

movie plot:

About ten years ago a gigantic demon beast, the Kyuubi, was released by a mysterious masked shinobi. The hidden village of Konoha was on the verge of being destroyed by the Kyuubi's attack... and there was only one way to save it. Together with his wife Kushina, the leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage Minato, sealed the Kyuubi into their newly born son, Naruto. By sacrificing their own lives, the two just barely managed to save the village, and entrusted its future to Naruto.

"There is no doubt... it's Akatsuki!"

And afterwards, time flowed on... until the members of the horrible shinobi group called Akatsuki (Pain, Konan, Itachi, Kisame, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan, and Kakuzu) appeared suddenly, only to attack Naruto's group. Naruto and the others narrowly managed to counterattack them... but why are these Akatsuki members back again, when they are supposed to be dead? The mystery remains, while all the shinobi are praised by their families for completing such a dangerous mission. Only Naruto, who has never known the faces of his parents, cannot help feeling lonely...

At that exact time, suddenly, the masked man makes another appearance in Konoha.

"It's been a long time, Uzumaki Naruto."

Due to the masked man's mysterious new doujutsu, Naruto and Sakura's surrounding world gets distorted and gradually swallowed.

When they regain consciousness and look around them, the masked man has already disappeared. The two try to pursue him, but at that point they start to notice an unusual phenomenon in the village. Kakashi, Tsunade and their fellow nakama in the village have changed personalities, and have become like totally different persons. Furthermore, even Sasuke is back in the village! And another amazing thing... Naruto's parents, Minato and Kushina, who should already be dead - are alive! What could be the meaning of all this?

"Why... are Tou-chan and Kaa-chan alive...?"

Put in front of this changed reality, Naruto and Sakura suddenly start to feel lost.

Naruto's joy at having met his parents once again is irresistable... but on the other hand, even in this world he has to face a life or death crisis caused by the masked man.

The masked man who aims at the power of the Kyuubi who dwells inside Naruto is once again about to bring destruction to the village of Konoha! The masked man aims at the weaknessed hidden in human emotions. A dreadful trap and ambition!

Naruto will have to fight against his fate in place of his parents, who had formerly bet their lives to protect the village!
