If they focus on the more strategic side of battles like the anime did until the Ninja war and later Sasuke fights I can see it MAYBE working a little (just not summons or huge DBZ level attacks). Try to focus on the smarter side of the ninja battles. Also don't do what the Dragonball movie that shall go unnamed did and try to jump straight to the more popular villain or cram in seasons worth of meetings and powers and villains into one frankenstein of a story. Just focus on one villain and keep it fairly faithful.
Movie 1: Everyone meeting, brief hint at 3rd hokage, Zabuza as main villain. This story actually has a nice 3 act structure already with them meeting and fighting the Zabuza in act 1, getting introduced to the bridge village and training a little in act 2, and then the final fight on the bridge and the Nine tails ex machina as the big act 3 finale. Cut out flashbacks and repetitive dialogue and some unnecessary characters and convos (the whole kid with the dead dad can be whittled down and the first attack with the chain ninjas can be written out). Also can probably cut some of the classroom stuff and initial drama between Sasuke and him out. Can easily be 2 hours
Movie 2: Chunin exam and Orochimaru intro. Act 1 is them entering the exam and the forrest part (can cut the Sakura finding herself part and just make her capable throughout). Act 2 is the individual fights and of course most of those would need to be cut (we don't Sakura v Ino for instance or Neji v what's her face). Naruto vs dog guy is a good fight and he's the main character so keep that. Then have Sasuke quickly dispatch of his, montage of others winning, and then have Gaara vs lee be an unexpectedly awesome finale (no it doesn't have to have Naruto be the final battle in the movie). Can't do the final round or Gaara in this movie so just hint at his monster and Orochimaru would be introduced in full in the forrest of course. Can again easily fit into 2 hours or less
Movie 3: Chunin exam final. Training for it, 3rd Hokage gives answers about Orochimaru to Kakashi and his team, then Naruto vs Neji, then finally Sasuke vs Gaara causes all the sand shit to go down. Naruto vs. Gaara caps off the trilogy
