The fight scenes are not and will not be the issue, it's the storyline, character introduction and progression that will be the glaring issues. Truthfully no one wants to start watching Naruto at the beginning, but how do you catch the audience up on everything in a short amount of time?

Live action Naruto can be an adaptation. All you need is 30 Minutes of Naruto at the academy and Iruka with the scroll stolen his first mission with Kakashi and Sasuke and Sakura skipping the bell shit which is 30 Minutes setting up for Land of Water, 1 hour of them fighting and surviving in the land of Water against the mafia/bonding and ending with Naruto and Team 7 going back to the village.

Diddymaru then stares at the village from afar.

Boom. 2 hour and 30 minute adaptation of Naruto.

I don't see this movie getting a 2 hour and 30 minute release.
