The game follows Naruto and his continuing adventures to save his friend Sasuke, based on the popular animated show Naruto Shippuden. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 enhances the fun and accessible battle system the series is known for by introducing four-player battles, an all-new adventure mode, and a brand new roster of powerful characters.



Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 puts players’ fighting spirits to the test with intense and frantic battles while using one of more than 50 characters. New characters include Young Kakashi and Obito Uchiha from the Naruto Shippuden special, Kakashi Chronicles. For the first time in the series’ history, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 expands upon the series’ trademark fighting engine and updates it for four-player brawls. Team up with a partner to unleash a devastatingly powerful Jutsu team attack on opponents, or interrupt an enemy’s Ultimate Jutsu to help or hinder another player.



Additionally, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 features Master Road, where players can re-live the Naruto Shippuden storyline up to the Hidan and Kakuzu arc and continue through two all-new adventures. This mode also features a three-player cooperative mode which let players experience the full adventure through an ad-hoc connection. During his quests, Naruto will also engage in Battle or Action stages. Each stage will contain a specific objective for Naruto to complete including intense fights, escaping from danger, and much more.
