3''Naruto: The Legend of the Stone of Gelel'' is the second ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' movie of the franchise, released in 2005 and meant to take place after Episode 160.
4
5The film begins with an attack by mysterious knights on the Sand Kingdom though Gaara manages to ward them off. Elsewhere Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru are on a simple catch and retrieve mission to bring back a ferret to its owner. However, en route, the same knights attack the trio with Naruto himself taking on the leader, Temujin. Their battle winds up knocking both of them off a cliff and getting picked up by a caravan of people seeking a new homeland. Eventually Temujin head back to his boss, Haido, who is hoping to find the mysterious Gelel Stone so he can create a utopia. Of course, all isn't what it seems and the stone's power could lead to widespread destruction if Naruto and his friends don't stop it.

11* CrazyPrepared: Gaara unveils a sand technique specifically developed to disable lighting users when he is fighting one.
12* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Kamira's defeat is swift and shockingly brutal in its coming. [[EvilGloating While taunting Shikamaru]], she flies directly into a waiting iron maiden-like Karasu, which promptly closes up and slices her into several pieces before she can do more than scream. [[GoryDiscretionShot Tempered only by the fact that we never see inside the trap once it closes.]]
13%% * FrankensteinsMonster: Ranke.
14* GreenRocks: The eponymous stone is a vivid green mineral suffused with energy more potent than chakra that can be channeled into jutsu like techniques or enhance ones own body and lifespan.
15* HeelFaceTurn: Temujin over the course of the film as he learns his past and Haido's true nature.
16* HeroicSacrifice: Temujin attempts this by stopping the out of control power of Gelel and going down into the void with it. Naruto however will have none of it.
17* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Fugai tries to uses her howl blast on Sakura, but the kunoichi tricks her into doing it underneath a few gigantic chime structures, causing the sound to vibrate and it to collapse right on top of Fugai.
18* JekyllAndHyde: Haido for his two-faced nature.
19%% * TheLegendOfX
20* MindRape: Kamira does this to Kankurō during their first battle, though he characteristically reveals himself as a disguised Karasu and attacks her in midst of her illusion.
21* MonsterMash: Haido and his three female warriors all [[OneWingedAngel have transformations from the power of Gelel]] that resemble classic movie monsters.
22* MookFaceTurn: After Haido reveals his true colors, the faceless knights sacrifice themselves to save the protagonists.
23%% * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Haido bears a striking resemblence to Music/EltonJohn.
24* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Haido's real interest in the power of Gelel is for world domination.
25* OutOfCharacterMoment: After their scuffle, Kankuro chases Kamira personally while throwing kunais at her, his puppets tidily packed on his back despite having used them minutes before. This clashes against his common characterization, which involves him fighting through his puppets and never fighting by himself if he can avoid it. It also ends in a note of humor when he and Naruto end up falling to the sea.
26%% * OurVampiresAreDifferent: Kamira.
27%% * OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Fugai.
28* OutsideContextProblem: Haido and his knights take the main characters and the Land of Wind by complete surprise, having abilities, equipment, and artifacts completely unknown to them.

29* PoweredByAForsakenChild: All of the faceless knights Haido uses [[spoiler: are actually powered by the souls of the children from Temujin's village.]]
30* ProphecyTwist: When they reach the main room where the stone lies, there are murals on the wall which depict the rise and fall of Temujin's kingdom ending with a mural of nothing but utter blackness which they perceive as the destruction of everything. [[spoiler: After Haido is stopped and the stone is no more, the blackness breaks off revealing a mural of two tribes shaking hands to symbolize Naruto and Temujin's friendship.]]
31%% * RoyalBlood: Temujin.
32%% * ShockAndAwe: Ranke's main power.
33* StrawHypocrite: Haido doesn't practice what he preaches at all and doesn't care for a utopia.

35-->'''Gaara''': First time fighting a ninja?
36* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Haido who claims he wants to use the stone to create peace across the lands. In truth, he's just another power-hungry psychopath.
