Edo Tensei Itachi (S) (343 matches (0.86%), 67.93% winrate):

• Itachi Mangekyou Sharingan: This skill's self-affliction damage now cannot be ignored.
• Note: As you guys may already know, ET Itachi was made based on the Pre-Shippuden Itachi version created by Kostas. At that time, we also had Kankuro (S) ignoring self-affliction damage, but Itachi's Mangekyou could NOT have its damage ignored, exactly to prevent that interaction. We're just fixing it here as well. Reference: Web Archive: Itachi

=================================================================

Hello everyone,

Today we're finally having the Major Update, bringing 2 new characters and 8 new reworks.

We've made some changes to how we'll be handling Major Balances. We decided to focus on bringing characters from specific arcs, and in doing so, release characters that could have been released in the past but weren't.
We might even bring filler arcs to the game someday, who knows.

Today is also the official day for the season reset! Congratulations to the Top 5 players from the previous season (you'll be able to see them in the Sidebar on our Homepage).

Before we announce the new characters and reworks, we first wanted to show the changes made to the XP System for players level 37 and above:

• Minimum XP Gain increased from 30 to 60.
• Maximum XP Gain increased from 500 to 600.
• Maximum XP Loss decreased from 500 to 450.

Now, let's move on to the character update:

Deidara (S) (Rework)
An akatsuki former rock ninja partner and apprentice of Sasori. Deidara is quite eccentric when it comes to art. His skill with clay allows him to create explosive sculptures, whether large, medium or small.

Hiruko Sasori (S) (New Character)
Hiruko is a puppet used by the Akatsuki shinobi, Sasori. Serving as a 'puppet armor', it allowed Sasori to hide inside of it. Hiruko is a human puppet made from the corpse of a renowned shinobi - this puppet is also Sasori's favorite.

Sasori of the Red Sand (S) (Rework)
Sasori is a senior Akatsuki member and a legendary puppet master. He is even rumored to have defeated an entire nation with puppets alone. ORIGINAL DESIGN: Pavera

Chiyo (S) (Rework)
The grandmother of Sasori(s) and elder ninja of the Sand Village, Chiyo is a well known and accomplished puppet master and builder.

True Form Sasori (New Character)
Pushed to his limit, Sasori reveals the secret of his eternally young body: he has turned himself into a puppet with a living "core" that now makes up the entirety of his being. Using his own body as a weapon, Sasori also pulls out Chikamatsu's legendary Hundred Puppets, rumored to be able to bring down an entire nation.

Four Tail Kyuubi Naruto (S) (Rework)
After completely giving into his anger and manifesting a fourth tail, Naruto ceases to be himself. In this state, Naruto's own body is completely overtaken by a deep, dense Nine-Tails chakra cloak, and at the cost of huge internal damage, Naruto becomes a mindless monster; a being of pure rage and destruction.

Orochimaru (S) (Rework)
Orochimaru is in the last year of his current body's useful life, so he rushes to take over Sasuke's body. His combat skills remain incredible. He is able to generate and control immense hordes of snakes and also regenerate easily.

Yakushi Kabuto (S) (Rework)
After two years, Kabuto remains Orochimaru's subordinate and Sasori's spy. His medical skills continue to improve, in addition to being able to use his current chakra to attack, Kabuto can use the chakra to heal himself instantly.

Uzumaki Naruto (S) (Rework)
After nearly three years of secluded training with Jiraiya, Naruto(s) has returned to Konoha with a greatly improved arsenal of ninja skills.

Uchiha Sasuke (S) (Rework)
Uchiha Sasuke (S) has spent the last 2 years training under Orochimaru. He is now an expert swordsman and has immensely developed his lightning element techniques. His demeanor has also grown very cold and he is one of the most dangerous individuals in the ninja world.
