Using all your ninja and strategy skills, select the ultimate fighting team of three to take up the challenge and save the day. At the beginning of each mission, select a team leader from five available characters, followed by two support members from a roster of 19 playable characters. Once your perfect team has been chosen, head into battle and use a variety of close combat melee attacks, apply your Chakra to run up walls and perform special Ninja techniques available to you and your team to defeat the enemy ahead. Additionally, don't forget to take advantage of the long-range projectile weapons, available to collect throughout the mission, to help wipe out the enemy ahead.
