Kicking off the *Naruto: Path of* series is *Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō*, a 2003 release exclusive to Japan's Bandai WonderSwan Color handheld console. This now-retro system, launched in 1999, never saw international release, limiting the game's accessibility. The game primarily focuses on the Land of Waves arc, but also includes additional missions for Team 7.

Another Japan-only title, *Naruto: Konoha Senki*, was published in 2003 by Tomy for the Game Boy Advance. This game adapts the first 70 episodes of the anime, covering the Land of Waves and Chūnin Exams arcs. Initially, players control only Team 7 and Kakashi, but additional characters become available as the game progresses.

Developed by Tomy, it debuted in 2004 on the Nintendo DS in Japan, later receiving a Game Boy Advance port for a global release. The storyline covers early arcs of the anime, culminating in the Chūnin Exams arc.
