BANSHŌ

BANSHŌ 万象

A Naruto-inspired shinobi adventure, built around techniques and their effects.

Greatly inspired by Mathioks' Naruto Anime Mod and AHZNB's ShinobiCraft.

✨ WHAT'S NEW IN 0.3

• 🧲 Magnet Release, complete: six techniques in iron sand, gold dust or sand, from the flying platform to Taisō, a tidal wave that buries your enemies.
• 💥 Explosion Release, complete: Deidara's art, from little clay spiders and birds to a dragon you ride and bomb from, a giant C3 thrown from your hand, the C4 cloud, and C0.
• 🐒 New clan: Sarutobi: six secret techniques of fire and ash, and its own gifts.
• New techniques: Kibaku Enjin (Fire) and Sen'ei Jashu (snakes from your sleeve).
• Explosions tear up the ground: a real crater, its blocks thrown all around, then the earth quakes and everything comes back.
• All fire, smoke and dust redrawn: solid billows, the same with and without shaders, day and night.
• The Hyūga, Uchiha and Chinoike now wear their eyes, and shinobi run the Naruto way.

⚠️ EARLY DEVELOPMENT · ALPHA 0.3.0 ⚠️

BANSHŌ is a personal project, still very young. To be fully honest with you:

• There will be bugs.
• Balance is not done. Some techniques are surely too strong or too weak, and progression (XP, ryō, missions) will change.
• Some models are placeholders (the Black Panther, for one).
• Whole parts are still missing: Dōjutsu techniques (Sharingan, Byakugan…), villages, Jōnin, and the story mode beyond its first arc.
• Updates may break worlds or saved characters while the mod is in alpha: keep backups!
• Made with the help of AI.

💬 I need your feedback! Bugs, balance, what you like and what you don't: every report helps the mod grow.

🍃 BECOME A SHINOBI

When you first join, your village, your clan, your chakra nature and sometimes a bloodline (Kekkei Genkai) are drawn at random. Every character is different. The Hyūga, Uchiha and Chinoike place their eyes on their face, and the Hyūga's white eyes are seen by everyone.

You start at level 0, as an Academy student. Level up, earn jutsu points and stat points, and learn techniques from scrolls, wandering masters and missions. A long progression, from Academy student to seasoned shinobi: even your bloodline has to be earned (level 10, Ninjutsu, and your base natures mastered first).

📖 STORY MODE · ARC 1: THE ACADEMY

Place your Story Mode paper on the ground in a village: a summoning circle opens and your Academy instructor steps out. He teaches you Bunshin, Henge and Kawarimi, quizzes you, then the final exam makes you a Genin of your village, headband included. Every character speaks to you face to face, in a discreet dialogue box: villagers, masters, the trader and your instructor.

🔥 137 TECHNIQUES, EACH WITH ITS OWN EFFECTS

Every technique has its own visual effects, drawn in code, made to look good with AND without shaders. Each one is cast with its hand seals, and the ultimate of each family shakes the screen. Great explosions really tear up the ground, which comes back by itself a moment later.

The five natures · 8 techniques each

🔥 FIRE · 🌊 WATER · 🌪️ WIND · ⚡ LIGHTNING · 🪨 EARTH

Bloodlines (Kekkei Genkai) · 10

🌳 Wood · ❄️ Ice · 💎 Crystal · 🧲 Magnet (iron sand, gold dust or sand) · 💥 Explosion (Deidara's clay art, from C1 to C0) · and a signature technique for Lava, Boil, Storm, Scorch and Dust

Ninja arts and clan secrets

• Academy Ninjutsu, the Rasengan, the Rasenshuriken and the Chidori
• 10 Taijutsu: Konoha's Lotus, the Eight Gates' Hirudora… played as cinematics
• 10 Kenjutsu: the school of the samurai
• 8 Medical Ninjutsu and 3 Genjutsu
• Secret clan techniques (Hiden) of the Aburame, Nara, Inuzuka (with your own ninja dog) and Sarutobi clans, each with its own gifts

👥 A LIVING WORLD

• Academy students, Genin and Chūnin from the five great villages, with their own techniques, clones and substitutions. A Chūnin leads a squad of Genin.
• A world that grows old: a new world is roamed mostly by students; every two weeks it may harden… or stay quiet for a while. As long as you are a student, foreign shinobi leave you alone, unless you strike first.
• Wandering masters of Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, medicine and Genjutsu, who teach you through quests
• A wandering trader, village missions with three rewards to choose from, and ninja dogs (Akamaru, Kuromaru, Haimaru)
• A summoning scroll: seal a creature inside, then summon it back from a summoning circle

🎽 OUTFITS AND GEAR

• Character outfits: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Rock Lee, Hinata, Gaara, Zabuza, Haku, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Hiruzen and more
• Weapons: kunai, shuriken, fūma shuriken, senbon, explosive tags, katana, kusarigama, chakra blades, Kubikiribōchō…
• Food: Ichiraku ramen 🍜, dango 🍡, onigiri 🍙
• An in-game guidebook to get started

🚧 WORK IN PROGRESS

Works, but will be improved:

• The Black Panther model (placeholder for now)
• Kuromaru and Haimaru use Akamaru's model for now
• Some wigs and outfits are being refined
• Combat AI of shinobi NPCs
• Balance: XP, ryō, missions, the summoning scroll, stats
