Naruto Shippūden: Dragon Blade Chronicles

Naruto Shippūden: Ryujinki (literally "Naruto Shippūden: Dragon Sword Chronicles") is a new game for the Wii that was released in Japan in November of 2009 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Naruto series. Despite being released for the Wii, it is not entirely similar to the Clash of Ninja (series) at all, being more of a free-roaming hack-and-slash video game. Despite this, it seems to use graphics similar to the aforementioned Clash of Ninja games, and even reuses several models. All characters receive detailed, new outfits that are based on their normal attire.

The story is loosely based on the Hunt for Itachi arc, although Jiraiya does not fight Pain, who does not appear. Naruto's half of the story revolves around attempting to stop Kuroma from unleashing the powers of five powerful dragons on the world with the help of a young girl named Akari, who gives Naruto the Dragon Sword to fight with. Sasuke, on the other hand, has already formed Hebi by the time the story begins, in order to hunt down and kill Itachi. However, his efforts are hindered by Akatsuki's attempts to capture the dragons that Kuroma has summoned for their own purposes. Throughout the story, the player either plays as Naruto or Sasuke along their journey, utilizing their respective blades and team members' abilities to fight through various levels.

Almost all confirmed characters have been shown with scrolls on their new clothing. These scrolls are used to perform jutsu of an elemental nature that is not natural to the user, or to enhance the power of jutsu that the user already knows.
