Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 4

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 4 (NARUTO-ナルト - 疾風伝ナルティメットアクセル4 Naruto Shippuden: Narutimetto Accel 4) is a hypothetical action-adventure video game as a revival of the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series. This game would be released exclusively for the PlayStation 4, Vita and Xbox One.

Story
The game would cover the entire story of Naruto, ranging from the Genin Training and Land of Waves arcs all the way to the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi War arc, thus ending the story of Naruto. The story would be split into two different game modes, one for Part 1 of the Naruto series, and one for Part II: Shippuden. Part 1's story would open with Hashirama's battle against Madara Uchiha and end with Naruto's battle with Sasuke at the Valley of the End. Part II would open with Naruto's homecoming battle with Kakashi and conclude with the final battle of the series. It would also cover the sixthNaruto Shippuden movie, Road to Ninja, and would include another story arc exclusive to this game.

Gameplay
The gameplay would return to the classic 2D fighting style of the original Ultimate Ninja series, revamped with graphics reminscent of the Storm series. There are two Awakening methods: Instant Awakening (accessed through a character's taunt) and Adversity Awakening (accessed by using a character's Reversal Ultimate Jutsu). Characters will once again be able to utilize multiple Ultimate Jutsu, set in four categories (three for regular battles, one for team battles): Ultimate Jutsu, the standard technique that can be used at anytime, Reversal Ultimates, activated after certain conditions are met (low health, taunt transformations,etc) and will usually result in an Awakening, Awakened Ultimates, more powerful techniques only available after the character unleashes their Awakening, and Team Ultimate Jutsu, techniques exclusive to team battles where two characters will either combine an attack combo with an Ultimate Jutsu (as seen in the Storm series) or will have an entirely new Ultimate Jutsu depicting those characters attacking together (as seen in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 5). Another feature that returns from Ultimate Ninja 3 is the ability to choose which Ultimate Jutsu the character will have prior to battle. Each character will have access to all of their Ultimate Jutsu from the entire Ultimate Ninja series. The ability to give custom Jutsu, such as Naruto with the Chidori or Gaara with the Fire Ball Jutsu, would also be an expansion of the Jutsu Customization option. It would also include new features seen in the Heroes series, such as Team Jutsu and being able to play in four character battle modes, although these will mostly consist of tag-team battles. The boss battles from the Storm series also return, with different gameplay experiences for each one. Story Mode is split into two different game modes: Master Mode is a mode that lets players explore the Naruto world and live through the entire story of the Shippuden age, and Ultimate Hero Mode is a mode that takes players back to the original Naruto story and allows exploration of a detailed Hidden Leaf Village as well as locations from Part 1 ofNaruto. Master Mode also takes on elements from Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact, in which players are able to fight waves of enemies on an open-world map. Minigames such as tree climbing or Guy's training exercises will also return. New to any Naruto series is the introduction of a Creation mode, allowing players to not only edit the outfits and hairstyles of existing characters like Naruto and Gaara, but they also have the opportunity to create their own characters, utilizing many features seen in Namco's Soul Calibur V.
