Naruto Clash of Ninja is a cel-shaded one-on-one fighting game based on the manga/anime series Naruto. The story follows the adventures of Naruto as he tries to become the Hokage, the leader of Konoha Village. The game features characters from the franchise, such as Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, and Rock Lee, making for a total of eight selectable fighters.
Gameplay involves basic punches, kicks, throws, and character-specific special moves. A fighter's Chakra Meter can be filled by receiving or inflicting damage, allowing them to access a special ability. Fighters also have a teleport-type move, but performing it costs energy. The game offers various modes, including a Story mode with cutscenes, two-player battle mode, survival mode, time attack mode, and training mode. Extras include a gallery, character profiles, and a sound test.
