Please note:
The solution is based on the US version of the game. With the exception of some missions that serve to advance the plot, many others can be carried out in any order.
1. Start
After the cutscene you get some information (the fourth hokage has sealed the demon inside Naruto's body, which is why the villagers keep him away). After Iruka's lecture, you will take control of Naruto. You can't do much for now, other than talking to someone and hanging out. If you look to the right though, you'll notice a blue scroll - that's a ninja mission, so go there. The missions with the orange scrolls will increase your health, those with the blue scroll will allow you to improve your chakra. Mizuki will explain Iruka's behavior to you, then will advise you to steal a secret scroll to pass the exam.
2. A new Jutsu
Press and hold X, to view the mission name. Going forward you will see your destination, continue to the door. By jumping you will grab the ledge and you can pull yourself up by moving the left stick up or drop by pressing A. After the door, grab the scroll, and get ready to escape. Go through the various light rings to the golden light, and witness the scene. Keep following the rings, carefully calculating the moment to jump when you encounter obstacles. When you reach the house, you finally find out something about the shadow clone jutsu, and you get instructions on how to do it: follow them, and keep an eye on the arrow (there will be a white line reaching the tip, you have to let go of the left trigger when the arrow is fully loaded). Iruka arrives, saving Naruto from Mizuki's first and second attacks, then Naruto escapes. While Mizuki prepares to inflict the final blow on Iruka, Naruto has the opportunity to face him: follow the instructions on the screen, getting used to the controls in combat. You will have a chance to try the new jutsu and defeat Mizuki, before going to talk to Iruka. After the scene you will receive information on the memoclips, then return to the village.
3. Naruto Uzumaki arrives
At the gate the third hokage will give you a speech, when you have control of the character again, notice the mini-map at the top right, and save the game (press start to access the option). Go to the orange scroll, talk to Iruka first and then to Teuchi. Teuchi cannot open the shop since he is short of money, so you have to retrieve it and bring it back to him, breaking every trash can you come across (you need ten). Do a couple of ramen delivery missions (just talk to Teuchi and select them). The ramen shop is marked on the map, with a white bowl south before the river (you'll also notice three orange and one blue scrolls). To the north, however, there is the icon that indicates the third hokage. Soon after, go to the orange scroll closest to the ramen shop (just northeast), and you will find the scroll shop.
4. Coins for the Scroll Shop
When you arrive at the scroll shop, talk to the owner, bring her 30 coins so that she can open and provide you with information. As you progress through the game, new scrolls will become available - you don't need them for now, so save up and get ready for the next mission, don't forget to collect money and save.
5. Jutsu training
The blue scroll is in the northwest corner of the map, go there and talk to Iruka, who will let you review the new jutsu. After three times he will ask you to use it to break a wooden barricade (it is indicated by the blue X on the map). After you do this, information about some training locations will appear, plus you can collect a rare coin. At the end of the mission you will have to raise some ramen money, so go and challenge Iruka to earn some money. Starting the fight try to jump and press Y to kick, and press up + Y to go behind the opponent. You can also try pressing left + 3 times X, to do a three-punch combo to throw him to the ground, and then use the new jutsu. Beat Iruka 5 times to get the money to feed yourself.
6. Find Konohamaru
You will find an orange scroll from Moegi (the little girl just outside the training area of the new jutsu): she is looking for Konomaharu. To find it, talk to the smiling people, and you will notice arrows to follow (maybe you will have to climb some roof, and eventually you will find it).
7. Sexy jutsu
Konomaharu wants to learn the sexy jutsu technique, to help him you will have to meet him at the women's restrooms, on the map you will notice a red scroll in motion: go there and talk to Konomaharu again, then perform the indicated moves. Konomaharu does not seem gifted with great skills: enter the door to the left of him to access the female toilets, go in front of the man with the broom, and try your new sexy jutsu to check the results. Eventually Konomaharu will be able to prove himself, but Ebisu will arrive: here is another good opportunity to practice sexy jutsu. Save and check the two orange scrolls on the map: one corresponds to the book shop, where you can buy movies and drawings, which you don't need at the moment, so you should save your money; the other is that of the gun shop, but even in this case, since you will not make a great use of it, it is useless for you to waste your coins. Instead, go to the ramen shop to the southwest and buy at least 5 ramen, then go northeast to the blue scroll.
8. The Kakashi test
Talk to Iruka, who will tell you to look for Sakura and Sasuke (ask smiling people for directions). Sakura is east of the scroll shop, by the river; Sasuke is in the southwestern area of the map, near the water. After finding them, go to the training area (marked by X). Talk to Sakura and Sasuke again, then Kakashi will come, and you'll have to face Sakura. The fight is quite linear, and similar to the previous one against Iruka. You will then have to fight against Sasuke, and in this case you will want to use a different jutsu (suggested by Kakashi). Finally, you will have to challenge Kakashi: before doing so, talk to Sakura to get her kunai, which you can throw by pressing the right bumper, while talking to Sasuke you will get some advice, then face Kakashi. After beating him you will pass the test, and you will learn the double jump (just press A again, after the first jump). Return to the village by recovering the coins that you did not collect previously, and if you want, carry out two ramen delivery missions. You can also try some hide-and-seek missions, which should now be available: you can find them in the north-west of the map, with the Konohamaru icon: just talk to the child to receive instructions, and you will have a new way to make some quick cash. since the mission is repeatable at will. To start this kind of mission, just talk to the child with an angry face. If you complete 13, your popularity should be around 30 percent, so you should have unlocked the ninja racing missions. So go to the first of them, make three runs, and at this point you should have enough money to be able to buy some scrolls at the store: choose those of strength and mastery, and also buy 5 ramen to feed yourself.
9. Problems at the Scroll Shop
Clear some missions and collect coins, then go to the third hokage (indicated by the blue scroll on the map). Talk to him, then go to the other moving blue scroll, which leads to the scroll shop owner's daughter. After talking to her, go to the X to find the bandit, collecting coins on the way. Watch out for the trees: wait for them to reach the side you are on, then start running when they start moving to the opposite side. You will also have to overcome some ambushes, but they are easy to overcome. When you arrive at your destination, retrieve the stolen parchment and fight with the bandit. The leader of the bandits will flee, take the key on the ground and you will see a green light with the sign of the village: by touching it you can teleport yourself avoiding the road, but you can also walk it, if you have not taken all the coins. When you arrive go to the scroll shop, talk to the owner's daughter and she will tell you to go to the third hokage: then go north to talk to him, then go back to where you found the key. Break the wooden barricade and you will see your destination, reach it using the double jump to overcome the ropes, then the leader of the bandits will appear again. After the fight the chest will disappear, and you will have to deal with Sakura and Sasuke again. From where you are, go back and cross the bridge, avoiding the logs. Continue, looking down: one of the caves closed by boulders has opened, there is a simple wooden barricade, just break it down to enter. Enter, be careful of the traps, then jump on the platforms and you will find another barrier, but after passing it keep in mind that there are more ropes to jump. Then follows a broken bridge (connected by some ropes), then you can take some coins, the chest, go down and go out to face another bandit. After meeting Sakura and Sasuke, go to the green teleporter and x, to talk to the owner's daughter, who opens the chest to find the scrolls of her ancestors. So go talk to the third hokage (follow the blue scroll), then you are free to go looking for coins and complete side missions.
10. Escort Tazuma
Go to Kakashi (blue scroll on the map), maybe first you should choose the training and buy the upgrades for strength at level 2, and at level 3, then talk to Kakashi and take the mission. Equip yourself with at least 5 ramen and with the scrolls of Strength and Mastery. Tell Kakashi that you are ready to receive the mission: you must go in search of enemies. Head to point X on the map to arrive in the Land of Waves.

You will come to another timed competition. Try to quickly switch between the rings and don't care about the coins that you can collect later. Use the Chakra Concentration to climb the walls.
When you get to Sasuke you will have to deal with Haku. This opponent is also beatable using the Force at level 3. Stay away from him and use the low kick, then the usual left combo + X, X, X, and then finish him off with the Shadow Clone Jutsu. This opponent must also be beaten twice. In the second fight, use the Rage mode. When the character icon flashes red, press LT + RT. Use Rage's time to slaughter Haku with various combos. Use the Shadow Clone Jutsu to finish it off.

Go back to the village and look at the map. Head to the blue scroll and talk to the Hokage who will give you the mission to find a spy roaming the village. Head to the X while paying attention to the booby traps. Skip them. When you get to the alternate route, take it. Once you reach the wooden barricade, break through it, advance and jump over the spikes (if you want, you can go through the opening on the left which presents fewer dangers). Before you cross another river, take out the Genin. Then head to the other side and climb the mountain to find Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura will ask you to go gather herbs to create a trap to put the spy and her gang to sleep.
Head to where Sakura and Sasuke were to collect one of the herbs. Go down and collect the grass next to the water. When you reach the spikes, collect the grass next to the barricade of rocks. Back off again to find the other herbs.

Don't forget about the new ninja races that have appeared on the map.
17. The Chunin Exam
Head to the blue scroll on the map and talk to Kakashi to get a new mission. After the chat, you will be asked to visit Anko at the entrance to the Forest of Death. Before facing it it would be better to have done all the secondary missions and taken all the possible upgrades. It is not mandatory to do this but it helps a lot. When you are ready head to the X. Find the tree with the footprints drawn on it, go through the sequence of trees to get to the Forest of Death. Head to the group of people to continue.
Upon entering the Forest of Death the team will be attacked by a genin. After the battle Naruto will find himself behind in comparison to his cronies. Explore the area for coins. Watch out for the jonin, much stronger than the bandits and genin. Especially their blazing-fast combos are what get in the way.

When done, head to the footprints on the tree to reach the next area. Explore the area to the left to collect some coins, then head right and collect more coins as you make your way to the next tree with the footprints marked on it.
After the tree sequence, explore the area for more coins and then make your way to another tree to climb onto. But you need the Scroll of Heaven. Look behind and look for the genin on the bridge. Kill him to get the parchment. Then go back to the tree and climb on it.
After yet another sequence in the trees, you will find Orochimaru attacking Sasuke and Sakura. You have to beat him to save them.
Orochimaru is very strong. Use sweeps to hit him, jumping backwards when he gets too aggressive. Wait for the right moment to perform a combo but don't run as it can nullify your attacks smoothly. You will have to defeat him twice to continue with a narrative sequence.
18. Don't despair
Naruto's health and chakra are limited to 500 due to Orochimaru's seal. Explore the area for coins and head to the X on the map that marks the entrance to the tower. Iruka will arrive and tell you that you have passed the exam. Now there are the preliminary matches. Now you have to face Kiba in two matches.
In the first, hit him with your low kicks. When you can perform a combo and finish it with a jutsu. In the second, things will get more complicated because Kiba will start using his juts (Fang Over Fang). Move quickly by pressing the A button to exit its area of effect.

At your destination you will find the bag and a boss bandit. The fight will not be very difficult and you can try the new combos. Hit the enemy with a low flying kick (Y) and then press X for a second shot that will knock the boss down. Then use the Level 2 Shadow Clone Jutsu. You can also try a right + X, X, X, Y, X combo, which will give you time to use the Level 3 Shadow Clone Jutsu with which you will take out the boss in no time.
After defeating the boss, enter the teleporter to return to the village. Go talk to the girl to complete the mission. Two new scrolls have now appeared on the map: one next to the river and the other by the northeastern gate. Go to the one near the river first.

Jiraiya will give Naruto another mission by asking him to get a scroll from a friend. Go talk to friendly characters for help and follow the arrows to find this friend. Talk to us.
26. Another Precious Scroll

She is a Giraiya fan who will ask you to bring him a letter. Return to Jiraiya following the blue scroll. Talk to him and he will ask you to take the scroll to the Hokage.

Head to the orange scroll south of the map.
27. The Lost Scarf
Talk to the girl who will ask you to retrieve her scarf near the temple. Follow the X. Climb the tree and, after the sequence, continue to follow the X. The scarf is protected by an Elite Ninja.

Then go back to the village and go talk to the girl to give her back the scarf and complete the mission and make an orange scroll appear in the south. Go there.
28. The Race to the Temple
Talk to the girl you find to start another race. This is a very simple competition that you can win without any problems. After the run you will find a downed red pillar with a tied rope.

Talk to the ninja who is reading a book and he will ask you to collect 20 herbs for the village. Go to the X and climb the tree. Continue to the X and collect the 20 herbs nearby. Go to the pillar with the rope and reach the teleporter again to return to the village. Return to the ninja and give him the herbs to complete the mission and make another orange scroll appear.
30. The Waterfall Race
Talk to the girl who will send you to the waterfall for a speed test. Follow the usual X. Climb the tree, continue to the next tree, climb this too. At the end of this other sequence you will reach the starting point of the race. This is another test with booby traps. After the victory, use the teleporter to return to the village. Go talk to the girl who will challenge you again. Follow the X again and take part in another race, definitely difficult due to the bad camera framing that you get when climbing the waterfall and which penalizes decisively, since a single mistake will force you to restart the race. After this frustrating competition, use the teleporter to return to the village. Go talk to the girl for one last challenge. Follow the X again to return to the falls and take part in another climbing competition, much simpler than the previous one because here the camera works properly. After winning the race, use the teleporter to return to the village and head to the orange scroll in the southwestern part of the map.
31. The Lost Pup
Talk to the little boy who will ask you to retrieve his puppy. Head to the X and reach the waterfall again. Head back to the temple to find the captive dog of a boss bandit. Defeat him to save the dog and bring up a teleporter that takes you back to the village. Go talk to the little boy to give him back the puppy and complete the mission. Look at the map: there are only two orange scrolls left. Conclude all the other deals you have pending and, without fear of losing precious coins, go to face these missions.
32. Coins for the Library and the Armory
Head to the orange scroll to the northwest (the bookcase) and talk to the man. Give him 20 coins and the man will open his shop for you allowing you to purchase video and art work.
The last scroll is to the north east (the armory). Go there. Talk to the bald man and give him the 25 coins he needs. Now you can purchase and upgrade kunai. You choose whether to spend the remaining money in this way or by upgrading the scrolls.
The orange scrolls are finished! Now you can go to the last blue scroll for the very last mission of the game.
33. The Chunin Final Exam
Talk to Jiraiya and take the mission. When you are ready you must go to the Arena for the last part of the Chunin exam. Before doing this, check that you have everything you think will come in handy. If you are missing something, do some extra missions to accumulate the points you need. When you are ready, go to the X to enter the arena.
The first opponent will be Neji. Use the flying kick to take him down and use the Level 2 Shadow Clone Jutsu to take him down… easy. After the dialogue you will have to face it a second time. Neji is now more resilient, despite the fact that he hasn't changed tactics. Use the right combo + XXXYX when you can and use the Level 3 Shadow Clone Jutsu. If not, continue with the Level 2 Jutsu.
After the fight, a sequence will start that will culminate in the attack on the Leaf Village. You have to chase Gaara. You will find yourself facing a sequence in the middle of the trees with limited time. Don't worry and do the usual moves. Once you reach Gaara you will have to face him.
Use the flying combo with the kick and have it followed by a Level 2 Shadow Clone Jutsu. After doing enough damage, Gaara will start the second part of the fight. Aside from jumping to avoid his sand attacks, there's not much more you can do than part one to beat Gaara. Continue to the end of the fight and follow the on-screen instructions to summon Gamabunta when prompted. A final minigame will start in which you'll have to deal with Shukaku. Avoid Shukaku's blows and press A to dash from side to side. When you are close enough to Shukaku you will need to press the buttons as shown on the screen. Do this several times to complete the game.
