Naruto Arena

Hey everyone!

This update will bring the two promised reworks, plus two new characters.

On the 15th, we'll have 5 more new characters!

See ya!

We'll also be introducing new borders, since it's been a while since we last added any!

Kakashi, as one of the squad leaders, goes to war alongside all the ninjas. Now, he uses everything at his disposal to win. Besides himself, Kakashi can rely on his allies.

One of the five past Akatsuki members reanimated by Kabuto during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Itachi sees this as an opportunity to pursue his true goals and set things right with Naruto and Sasuke. Freeing himself from Kabuto's shackles, Itachi unleashes the full power of the Uchiha with his deathless body.

Having been reanimated once more, Itachi now manifests the full power of his Susanoo in battle. Shielded by the Yata Mirror and wielding the sealing Totsuka Blade, he becomes a relentless force that blends absolute defense with lethal precision.

Kushina is a survivor of the Hidden Whirlpool Village's famed Uzumaki clan, and an immigrant into the Hidden Leaf Village after her own village's downfall. Due to her tomboyish and violent nature, and her bright red colored hair, Kushina is known as the "Red-Hot Habanero" as she constantly gets into trouble.

Balances:

Hey everyone!

This is a small balance update bringing some nerfs related to the latest Major Balance 1.7.0.

We've brought some forgotten characters into the META, as a result, new teams have started to show up on Ladder. Now it's time to make room for other characters to appear, while also making the Ladder a bit healthier overall.

Balances:

• Nerfs: Kazekage Gaara (S), Killer Bee (S), Sai (S). 

Hello everyone,

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the delay. This update will be smaller than our usual Major Updates, but that's because we will have a new update on the first day of the next month (May 1st), which will include the reworks for Shinobi Alliance Kakashi (S) and Edo Tensei Itachi (S).

Additionally, we will also have 2 new special characters released in that update. I assure you it will be worth the wait.

On May 15th, we will also be releasing 5 new characters, following the game's current timeline.

Now, let's get into the update:

Balances:

• Nerfs: Aburame Shino, Nohara Rin, Hoshigaki Kisame (S), Samehada Fusion Kisame (S), Shee (S). 
• Boosts: Aburame Torune (S). 
• Optimizations: Omoi (S), Kazekage Gaara (S), Akatsuchi (S), Kurotsuchi (S), Darui (S), Killer Bee (S). 
• Boosts/Adjustments: Rock Lee (S), Cursed Seal Mizuki. 

Welcome to Minor Update 1.6.2,

It's that time of the month to do some minor changes to shake up the meta, while also introducing our new Event Cordinator Savant. Savant will be responsible for handing the community events and is sure to bring fresh ideas and excitement to our community.
Before getting to the balance changes, let's dive into Savant's first event. We're hosting an official spring tournament, make sure to click the image to access the naruto-boards thread (you'll likely need to login and then come back to click on it) and join us for an amazing time.

Without further ado, let's get onto the balance changes.
