Naruto Online

Naruto Online is a browser MMORPG set in the Naruto universe, built around collecting familiar shinobi and forming squads for turn-based battles. Instead of controlling Naruto directly, you create your own ninja aligned with one of five elemental paths, then progress through story-focused PvE while dipping into PvP modes and raids for extra rewards.
