Exploration of overworld maps leads into randomly triggered turn based battles fought on a field split into twelve squares per side, with up to three characters occupying a square at once and chakra powering ninja techniques.

Story & Setting

Rather than retelling anime story arcs, the game runs on an original filler plot; its Japanese title translates roughly to a conflict between spirit beasts and a Leaf Village squad. This sets it apart from the more anime faithful first Path of the Ninja.
