✨ New in 4.7: the Road to 10/10

• Every jutsu plays like itself. Attacks have a form (how they move) and a hit (what they do): waves roll out and carry you, tornadoes drift and drag you in, needles rain on a marked circle, spikes erupt under a warning mark, dragons weave and bite through three enemies, shuriken come back. Hits burn, soak, shock, cut, crush, launch, poison, bind, blind, chill or seal.
• Every jutsu has a special trait of its own: a "when X, Y" no other jutsu has. Lightning Hound stuns a wet target, a Great Fireball against a wall leaves the ground burning, a shadow jutsu works in the dark.
• Signature jutsu with their own rules: the Rasengan grinds in your hand, Chidori is a charge that can barely turn, Amaterasu can't be put out by water, Kamui can't be hit, Kirin needs open sky.
• The five natures play off each other: fire beats wind, wind beats lightning, water soaks a target so lightning arcs.
• New tailed beast and summon models, built from chunky blocks with pixel-art faces: Kurama's nine tails, Shukaku's star eyes, Isobu's spiked shell, Gamabunta's coat and pipe, Manda rearing up on his coils.
• Fairer fights: bonuses no longer stack into one-shots, a death recap shows what beat you and how to counter it, and there's a settings screen (Mods › Config) with comfort and photosensitivity options.

📜 Two kinds of story

• The Shinobi Chronicles: your own ninja's journey through the series in 16 arcs and 109 chapters, from the Academy and the Land of Waves through the Chunin Exams, Pain's Assault, the Five Kage Summit and the Fourth Great Ninja War to Kaguya, The Last and the new era. Every chapter opens with its own cutscene, and you stand in it yourself, beside the canon cast.
• Character Stories: live every character's life - 145 stories, 855 chapters. For each chapter you become that character as they were then: their clan, eyes, rank, tailed beast, the jutsu they knew at that age, their gear and their skin. Play Itachi from the war he saw at four to Izanami, Gaara from the One-Tail to Kazekage, Kaguya, Indra, Boruto, Kawaki and the Akatsuki. Your own ninja comes back exactly as you left them, and finishing a life teaches you one of that character's signature jutsu.
• Enemies fight at the chapter's level, allies help without stealing your kills, and you have to pass the Chunin Exams to become a Chunin.

⚔ Combat that feels like the anime

• Over 1,000 jutsu, researched from the series: the five natures, every clan's techniques, Kekkei Genkai, Sage Mode, the Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan, the Otsutsuki and Kara. Each has its own painted, glowing effect, cast animation and icon, and dragons, sharks and clay birds fly as real 3D models.
• No two jutsu play the same: each one moves its own way, does its own thing on a hit and has a special trait no other jutsu has. The jutsu wheel tells you how each one moves and how to get out of its way.
• Earn your jutsu: rank-ups only bring the Academy basics. Everything else is trained in the Quest Book, taught by a character who tests you in a spar first, or learned in the story. Signature techniques stay with their characters: you use them by living that character's story.
• Hand seals: weave a jutsu's real seal sequence and it goes off when you stop.
• Battle Mode: six jutsu in your loadout on the number keys, plus combo strikes that throw shockwaves, flying slashes and ground slams, Mine Piece style.
• Movement and defence: dash and backstep, a chakra double jump, wall running and water walking, guard and perfect guard.
• Modes and forms: Sharingan to Mangekyo, Byakugan, Rinnegan, Sage Mode, the Eight Inner Gates (earned one trial at a time with Might Guy) and every jinchuriki form, from the first red wisps through Version 1 and Version 2 to the full tailed beast transformation: become Kurama, Gyuki or Shukaku, three to four blocks tall.
• Impact frames, hit-stop, screen shake and speed lines.

👹 Bosses, beasts and invasions

• 10 boss fights with three phases and telegraphed moves (red circles on the ground: step out!). Itachi's Tsukuyomi, Zabuza's mist, Orochimaru's shed skins, Gaara's sand armour, Kakuzu's hearts, immortal Hidan, Pain's six paths, Obito's Kamui, Madara's meteors, and Kaguya dragging you through her dimensions.
• All ten tailed beasts as giant animated bosses with Tailed Beast Bombs and their own powers, rebuilt in 4.7 as detailed block models. Beat one to become its jinchuriki.
• Summons: sign a contract at the animals' home - toads, snakes, slugs, monkeys or hawks - and call Gamabunta, Manda, Katsuyu, Enma or Garuda. Pain's Animal Path brings its eight beasts.
• 8 invasions, started with a War Scroll: waves of enemies, then their leaders, from a rogue ninja ambush to the Fourth Great Ninja War and the Otsutsuki.

🏯 A ninja world

• 181 characters, each with their own skin, stats and their real jutsu kit. Train with them, recruit them into your squad, take missions from the Kage, or pick up one of 21 side quests.
• The hidden villages: Konoha and Suna are built from jigsaw pieces, so no two look alike, and the Five Great Villages are easy to find (/naruto village points the way). Kiri, Kumo, Iwa, Ame, the Valley of the End, the Great Naruto Bridge, the Forest of Death, Mount Myoboku, the God Tree and more.
• Small finds everywhere: bandit camps, ninja outposts, border checkpoints, ramen stands, hidden Uchiha hideouts, Akatsuki lookouts and sealed scroll shrines with a seal-stone puzzle.
• Six dimensions: your own Kamui pocket dimension, Itachi's Tsukuyomi, and Kaguya's ice, lava, gravity and desert worlds.
• The Five Nations: Land of Fire forests with giant trees, the Land of Wind desert, Water marshes, Lightning peaks and Earth badlands (needs TerraBlender).

🗡 Tools and gear

• 226 canon items: swords and legendary weapons as detailed 3D models (Samehada, Kubikiribocho, the Gunbai, Totsuka...), Flying Thunder God kunai, explosive tags, Akimichi pills, Ichiraku Ramen, the Gold and Silver Brothers' treasures, 18 puppets that fight beside you, and the ten Akatsuki rings.
• Ninja gear with set bonuses: every village's headband, the Akatsuki cloak, Rock Lee's leg weights, Tobi's mask, the Fourth Hokage's haori, samurai and Warring States armour.
• Merchants in every great village: a weaponsmith, an apothecary, a scroll merchant and a ramen chef.

📈 Progression

• Ranks from Academy Student → Genin → Chunin → Jonin → Kage, with the Chunin Exams standing between Genin and Chunin.
• Five trainable stats (Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Chakra Control, Stamina) that grow as you use them.
• Villages and reputation: shop discounts and Kage missions, or leave your village and walk the missing-nin path until the Akatsuki come calling.
• Squads with stances, mission boards, Ryō, and over 100 advancements.

🎮 New-player friendly

• An Academy lesson card teaches the basics one step at a time.
• The Shinobi Handbook is a full in-game guide that shows your key bindings.
• A clean, configurable HUD (/narutohud): scale, corner, offsets, where the loadout bar sits, optional damage numbers.
• A settings screen (Mods › Config) for visuals, comfort, HUD and audio, and a death recap that shows what beat you.
• Original sound effects and music.

FAQ

Can I add it to an existing world? Yes. New structures generate in new chunks, and saves from older versions upgrade automatically, keeping the jutsu and rank you already earned.

Why does my world show an "experimental settings" warning? Forge shows it once for any world with mod dimensions. Choose to continue and it won't ask again.

How do I become a Chunin? Earn the ninja XP, then pass the Chunin Exams arc in the Shinobi Chronicles.

Is it on Fabric / other versions? Not at the moment: Forge 1.20.1 only.

Can I use it in a modpack? Yes, as long as the pack is free.

Can I change the jutsu? Yes: every jutsu's numbers and effect live in data files that a datapack can change.
