Naruto: Ninja Council

Developed by Tomy and Aspect and released in 2003, Naruto: Ninja Council was the first handheld Naruto game on the Game Boy Advance. Players control Naruto Uzumaki through stages adapting the early Land of Waves and Chunin Exam arcs, using basic attacks, jumps, kunai throws, and Shadow Clone Jutsu against enemies like Haku, Zabuza, and Gaara. Each chapter culminates in a boss battle, and collecting enough chakra lets Naruto unleash techniques such as the Rasengan or the Fire Ball Jutsu. With compact stages and a brisk pace, the game served as an approachable entry point for young fans of the manga and anime.
