Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 5

is the fifth instalment in the Ultimate Ninja series.

Gameplay
One of the new gameplay additions is the introduction of assist characters. Assist characters are chosen during character selection, and can be called in during a match to deal extra damage. Certain combinations of characters create unique jutsu in a match; these combinations reflect the associations of those characters in the anime and manga. Many of the characters' techniques from the previous game were updated. There are many updated ultimate techniques, including the aforementioned assist-specific ones. Summons have been removed from the game. The assist characters cannot be turned off. The game also includes an RPG mode where players can roam sections of the village and interact with the surroundings of the story and villagers.

Plot
The plot is separated in eight arcs. There is also an extra arc. They are directly related to Kazekage Rescue Arc and Sasuke and Sai Arc.

Playable Characters
All of Konoha 11, Sasuke Uchiha, and the Sand Siblings are available in both pre- and post-timeskip outfits. Parenthesis indicate a character's Awakening Mode(s).
