In the game’s History mode, players can relive epic story-based battles from NARUTO, experiencing key moments from the series complete with anime cutscenes and cinematic videos. In Special Story mode, a whole new original storyline unfolds, taking place during the events of BORUTO, where Boruto meets a girl in a popular game called “Ninja Heroes.” Nanashi and they both realize a mysterious man, Merz, is trying to initiate war.
