Bando

Bando is an original character created for the American-exclusive Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2. He is a weapons dealer, and a antagonist in the story. He is a large, hulking figure with spiky red hair, whose blunt and powerful style of attacking places him in a category with characters like Zabuza and Kisame. His main weapons are a pair of chakra cannons that he keeps strapped across his back. His left hand is missing for unknown reasons, and he has a metal "nozzle" affixed to the stump. By removing the false hand that he usually keeps on the stump, Bando can attach one of his chakra cannons directly onto his arm and fire a blast of explosive chakra at an enemy.

During the game's story, Bando makes his first appearance speaking with Kagura about how everything is going according to plan. Later on, when a rogue ninja is captured by Naruto, Gaara, and Kakashi for questioning, he's soon hit by a fire projectile from seemingly out of nowhere, presumably Bando's doing.

Bando later appears at Kagura's side, calling her "the boss" when Kakashi, Naruto, and Gaara infiltrate the enemy hideout to rescue a kidnapped Sakura. Bando, his identity left unknown, fights Naruto and Kakashi alongside Kagura until Kagura's mask is knocked off and her identity is revealed. After their "defeat," the two are unfazed, with Bando saying that the plan to destroy Konohagakure "goes on unhindered." Bando and Kagura disappear, leaving the small rescue squad wondering just what their plans are.

Shortly after this cutscene plays out, Bando is seen meeting with a shadowy figure, later revealed to have been Kabuto, and the two discuss the plan to destroy the Leaf Village. Bando questions Kabuto's motives for wanting to orchestrate this plan, to which Kabuto replies that he was "rather bored of late," and that it was "just a whim." Bando claims that he doesn't understand Kabuto, but soon decides that it doesn't matter anyway, noting that victory is close enough that he can taste it.

Bando later appears on the rooftop of the third Chunin exam's stadium, where the Third Hokage fought Orochimaru, guarding one of the genjutsu barriers from Jiraiya, who aims to take the barrier down. After Jiraiya correctly guesses Bando's identity, Bando explains how he manipulated Kagura, and how she "leapt at the chance" when he showed her his plans to destroy Konoha. He also explains why he'd profit from Konoha's fall: if the village was destroyed, then the world would plunge into a conflict that could rival the Great Ninja War. Bando's weapons sales, and therefore, his own profits, would go through the roof. Bando then makes an offer to Jiraiya for them to "get rich together," an offer which Jiraiya readily declines. Bando and Jiraiya face off on the roof, resulting in Bando's defeat. Bando pleads that Kagura was actually the one manipulating him, and that he'll help the Leaf Village find and take Kagura down, selling his weapons to the village for extremely low prices as a bonus. Jiraiya easily sees through Bando's act and claims that both Bando and Kagura are pathetic; Bando for trying to get out of trouble in that way, and Kagura for falling for that sort of deceit. Shortly after, Towa arrives as the barrier falls, and Jiraiya has him restrain Bando and take him into ANBU custody. Bando swears that he'll have his revenge on Jiraiya.
