Once you've got a task, the journey begins. This mainly involves moving Naruto across a 2D map, town to t✃own. In between strolling you'll be whisked away for frequent random battles against packs of ruthless ninjas. Fortunately there's a fairly robust real-time fighting system with decent variety.

Highlights include special moves from the show, like making clones of yourself to enforce gang beat-downs, or unleashing the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, an apocalyptic light-show that gives you hyper power. As you progress you unlock more trickery, while gaining strength, sta🍒mina, and speed.

You can also temporarily switch to multiple♈ homies from the show. So far we've only been able to switch to the fat-ass lad named Choji, but his "human-boulder" power, where he steamrolls the arena as a giant inflated ball of flesh was provocative. Even more so was Naruto's signature move called "Sexy Jutsu," where you transform into a nymphet with a bikini.
