For example, Part II Naruto Uzumaki changes into his for Tailed Beast Chakra Mode that enhances his abilities, while Part II Sasuke Uchiha summons Susanoo, a massive ethereal warrior that aids him in combat.[9][10] Players are also able to use real collectible cards to unlock new content and gain advantages in the fights.[11]

The story mode covers both Part I and Part II from the series, respectively featuring the younger and older incarnations from the series' characters.[12] The role-playing game elements from Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2's story mode were removed in favor of consecutive battles, thus reducing the time spent during the mode.[13] Although it mainly focuses on Naruto Uzumaki's adventures based on the series, it features new sidestories lead by other supporting characters that expand their backgrounds.[8][13] New animated cutscenes are used for the story mode.[14] Promoting 72 playable characters and 15 support characters,[15] the game includes the debut of the new Kage, the strongest ninjas from the Naruto series, introduced in Part II, as well as Kakashi Hatake's team during his childhood.[16] Assistant character are exclusively teaming up with playable characters such as Fu and Torune who are teamed up with Danzo Shimura.[17] While the game covers both Part I and Part II, none of the characters created for the original animated episodes are playable.[13]
