What Naruto OVA 3: Hidden Leaf Village Grand Sports Festival! is

Trying to corral rowdy kids into something resembling sportsmanship. Naruto spends the festival either running from his own digestive disasters or toward the finish line, whichever comes first. The one predictable thing? Someone will end up stuck in a giant pudding.
