Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2



Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2, known in Japan as, is the second installment of the fighting game series Naruto: Ultimate Ninja. Like some other Naruto games in Japan, this one was available in two covers: one featuring Naruto Uzumaki along with several different characters in the background, and the other with Sasuke Uchiha and several other characters.

The game was released on September 30, 2004 in Japan, June 12, 2007 in North America, and is slated for release sometime in Fall 2007 for Europe.

Ultimate Ninja 2 features a similar gameplay experience to Ultimate Ninja, featuring many of the same gameplay elements and geography. The game also features an RPG-esque story mode, the first half from the series, the second being an added story arc that takes place between the Tsunade Decision arc and the Sasuke Retrieval arc. In this arc, Orochimaru finds out about a jutsu called the Gedo Mark and uses it to seal Kakashi's Sharingan. Orochimaru then starts his second invasion on Konoha and uses the reanimation jutsu to bring back Zabuza, Haku, and the Third Hokage.

Playable characters
There are a total of 32 characters to choose from (33 in the Japanese version with the inclusion of Doto Kazahana). Some characters have also been fused together, so the player must use a special jutsu to activate them, such as Sasuke with his Cursed Seal
