Additionally, the winner is granted the opportunity to create their own village decree!

Released on a bonus DVD with the Japanese edition of the PlayStation 2 Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 video game, Naruto Narutimate Hero 3: Tsuini Gekitotsu! Jounin vs. Genin!! Musabetsu Dairansen Taikai Kaisai!! provides players with hints for the game's RPG mode. Although seemingly falling within the Naruto series' timeline between the end of "Search For Tsunade" arc and the "Sasuke Recovery Mission" arc, the OVA is considered non-canon as it features two characters that were already deceased according to the original story.
