Christopher C. Cowan and Haile Lee, aka Epic Rival, have debuted a live-action Naruto Shippuden short film called "Dance of War" that sees Tenten and Neji put their skills to the test.

While the cinematography (by Cowan) and choreography (by Brendon Huor) are pretty impressive, it's the special effects -- high quality for a fan project -- that really deliver in this nearly eight-minute short.

Here's the official description: "The 4th Great Ninja War is near. Two Hidden Leaf ninja say goodbye to where they grew into ninja, by holding a ceremony to test their own resolve."
