6. Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō (2003)

Kicking off the Path of the Ninja series is Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō, a 2003 release exclusive to Japan's Bandai WonderSwan Color handheld system. This console, launched in 1999, never saw international distribution, limiting the game's reach. The game's narrative centers on the Land of Waves arc, augmented by additional missions featuring 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 faithfully adapts the anime's first 70 episodes, encompassing the Land of Waves and Chūnin Exams arcs. Initially, players control only Team 7 and Kakashi, with additional characters unlockable upon progression.

3. Naruto: Path of the Ninja (2004)

Interestingly, Naruto: Path of the Ninja is the third installment. Also a Tomy production (2004), it debuted on the Nintendo DS in Japan before a global Game Boy Advance port. The game covers the early anime arcs, culminating in the Chūnin Exams.

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

Despite the "RPG 2" designation, Naruto RPG 2: Chidori vs. Rasengan is a direct sequel to Path of the Ninja. Released in 2005 for the Nintendo DS, this Tomy title remained exclusive to Japan. The storyline follows the Search for Tsunade arc, concluding with Sasuke's escape from Konoha during the Sasuke Recovery Mission.

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

Concluding the series is Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, another Tomy creation. Initially a 2006 Japan-only Nintendo DS release, it achieved global distribution in 2008. Unlike its predecessors, this entry features an original, non-canon storyline centered around the Three Ryūdōin Brothers and a unique Anbu character allied with the player.

This comprehensive overview covers all the key titles in the Naruto: Path of the Ninja game series. While their names vary, they all offer engaging Naruto gameplay experiences.
