We all had those speculatory question, why Naruto never re-applied for the Shunin exam again, how would it go if he did, well, pretty much none of us saw him and Konohamaru participating in the same year coming. Konohamaru has always looked up to Naruto, but here, he is forced to face him in a man vs. man fight in front of all of the village, we all know how it SHOULD go, but oh boy did the directors of this short movie have another plan for it. It's been a long while since I saw Naruto, looking at this is both eye-opening and turning off. Thecolors looked washed off, very sticky to say, and not at all attractive. I don't remember the character designs to be this bland, but I guess they aged off pretty barely, even though I watch Boruto on a weekly basis and the art style shouldn't be that different.

The whole thing was very anti-climactic at the end as if the whole animation project was just to kick off a one-liner on how Naruto never gets to shine when people are present.
