Background
Although Naruto: Dai Katsugeki!! Yuki Hime Ninpouchou Dattebayo! - Konoha no Sato no Dai Undoukai was screened together with Naruto Movie 1: Dai Katsugeki!! Yuki Hime Ninpouchoou Dattebayo! during the latter's premiere in Japan, the short animated feature was not shown at the movie's release in North America as well. Instead, it was included on the DVD version made available on September 4, 2007 as well as in the Naruto Triple Feature DVD collection, released on October 14, 2014. Falling somewhere before the first series' "Sasuke Recovery Mission" arc or prior to episode 107, the OVA is notable for showing every character—living or dead—from the Naruto franchise.
