First, before a mod slaps you for not following forum rules: ** READ BEFORE POSTING - MANDATORY POSTING TEMPLATE **

Second, some questions:
Do you own the legal rights to use the Naruto IP, or is this an illegal fan game?
What kind of compensation (if any) are you offering?
Does Blaze Entertainment have a web-site? (Google returned a site about male strippers...)
Does the current team have any previous experience?
Why don't you appreciate experience (even though it's nice)?
Is "Blaze Entertainment" a legal company, or just a team name?

They seem to be out in force tonight. Here is some info regarding using copyrighted material:

(This is taken from my response to the Robotech project thread.

If you take time to read this article you'll find that even if you make a free game, it can still be taken down by the company owning the IP. Case in point: Chrono Resurrection. There are also many, many other projects that have suffered the same fate.

In this article Templeton states:

2) "If I don't charge for it, it's not a violation."

False. Whether you charge can affect the damages awarded in court, but that's main difference under the law. It's still a violation if you give it away -- and there can still be serious damages if you hurt the commercial value of the property. There is a USA exception for personal copying of music, which is not a violation, though courts seem to have said that doesn't include widescale anonymous personal copying as Napster. If the work has no commercial value, the violation is mostly technical and is unlikely to result in legal action. Fair use determinations (see below) do sometimes depend on the involvement of money.

Top gaming company and inexperienced programmers don't go together very well.
