Directed by: Toshiyuki Tsuru
Genres: Adventure, Animation, Action
Starring: Junko Takeuchi, Chie Nakamura, Yōichi Masukawa

Overview: Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, Sakura Haruno, and Rock Lee are assigned to protect the prince of the Land of the Moon, Michiru, during his world trip; other escorts had been hired, but quit due to being treated poorly. The Land of the Moon is a very wealthy nation, so Michiru tends to buy whatever he wants, and has a very materialistic worldview. His Hikaru, also acts in much the same manner.
