6. Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō (2003)

Launching the Naruto: Path of the Ninja series is Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō, a 2003 release exclusive to Japan's Bandai WonderSwan Color handheld system. This console, released in 1999, never saw international distribution. The game's narrative centers on the Land of Waves arc, enhanced with additional missions for Team 7.

2. Naruto: Konoha Senki (2003)

Another Japan-only title, Naruto: Konoha Senki, developed by Tomy for the Game Boy Advance, arrived in 2003. The game adapts the anime's first 70 episodes, covering the Land of Waves and Chunin Exams arcs. Initially playable only with Team 7 and Kakashi, additional characters become unlockable.

3. Naruto: Path of the Ninja (2004)

Interestingly, Naruto: Path of the Ninja is the third game in the chronological order. Also a Tomy production (2004), it initially launched on the Nintendo DS in Japan before a global Game Boy Advance port. The story encompasses the early anime arcs, culminating in the Chunin Exams arc.

4. Naruto RPG 2: Chidori vs. Rasengan (2005)

Despite its numbering, Naruto RPG 2: Chidori vs. Rasengan serves as a sequel to Naruto: Path of the Ninja. Released in 2005 by Tomy for the Nintendo DS, this Japan-exclusive game follows the Search for Tsunade arc, concluding with Sasuke's escape from Konoha.

5. Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 (2006)

Concluding the series is Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, another Tomy creation. Initially released in Japan in 2006, it saw a global Nintendo DS release in 2008. Unlike its predecessors which largely follow the anime's canon, this game features an original, non-canon storyline involving the Three Ryūdōin Brothers and a unique Anbu character as a player ally.

These five games, while uniquely titled, collectively form a significant part of the Naruto gaming legacy.
