Yet while his goals are ostensibly the revival of his nation, it quickly becomes apparent that Mui’s son has remained on his mind long after his death. It turns out that, ten years ago, Mui used his son, Muku, to open the seal, only for Muku to die when it failed.

His icy, control-freak persona hides a multi-layered character that reveals himself more and more as the movie goes on. In true Naruto tradition, there’s a lot more to him than we initially see. Mui makes for an interesting antagonist as well. In the era of the Sage of Six Paths, the Hidden Grass Nation nearly conquered the world with its power…until they were nearly wiped out completely for what we’re sure are completely unrelated reasons. Without giving too much away, they all want Naruto’s jinchūriki chakra to break a seal containing the allegedly wish-granting Box of Paradise. We also have a surprisingly complex set of villains too. Mui also puts Naruto’s loyalty to Hidden Leaf in question: is he loyal enough to slaughter innocent people if ordered? This question gets repeated several times throughout the movie, and Naruto’s ready and willing to let his fists tell anyone just how much he thinks of that! (One guy got thrown here for the crime of sparing one little kid from an enemy village when his own village had ordered genocide.) His first interactions with the inmates reveal that everyone inside has been cast aside by their villages too. No one could realistically pin this crime on Naruto (seeing as he lacks both the brains and the killer instinct) yet here he is anyway, abandoned by the people who should have come to his defense. What I love is that, right from the start, the movie starts throwing out the moral curveballs that characterized much of Shippuden. He’ll escape and clear his name, come hell or high water, which is appropriate considering that the warden wields Fire and that the prison looks over dozens of treacherous whirlpools. Not that any of this is going to stop Naruto, who probably couldn’t even spell pessimism, let alone comprehend it. Hozuki Castle, run by Hidden Grass Jonin Mui, comes with iron bars, tough inmates, and (worst of all) a Chakra-sealing Jutsu that will literally burn an inmate alive if he uses his Chakra or gets far enough away from Mui. When an assassin makes an attempt on the Raikage’s life, he identifies Naruto as the culprit! Naruto, of course, is just as surprised by these allegations as his friends, yet before he can plead the Ninja Fifth Amendment, Tsunade banishes him to the most elite prison in the Ninja world: Hozuki Castle.ĭespite all his rage, Naruto is still just an orange Ninja in a cage.
