Naruto and the gang return home after a stint protecting Shibuki, the leader of Takigakure. But there's danger back in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Sasuke and Sakura are quickly captured and the tow-headed ninja-wannabe finds himself in a desperate situation. Turning to Shibuki for help, Naruto discovers the revered leader is actually a coward and false hero. Alone, Naruto must protect his home, his friends, and the Takigakure's secret potion - the Water of Heroes.
