Gameplay

Players advance through side scrolling stages as Naruto or Sasuke, with Kakashi available once unlocked. Scrolls collected through the levels grant jutsu that cost chakra to use, from breaking through walls to summoning whirlwinds. A Story mode carries the main campaign while a Free mode lets players revisit stages on their own terms.
