Though rare, characters that appear in the games only exist because they serve to depict some unique situations or side stories in the games.
5Karin
In theNaruto: Uzumaki Chroniclesgame, Karin Kagura is the owner of a ninja shop that her mysteriously sick father left to her. Karin is shown to be a shy girl who always needs help and only talks when Naruto is around.
InNaruto: Uzumaki Chronicle, Karin gives Naruto a mission to save her store, Emporium Karin, by getting rid of a group of bandits while wearing her store’s logo. After Naruto finishes the mission, Karin goes to an old mine to get materials to make more things for her shop. Karin’s character changes over the course of the game. At first, she is shy, sad, and scared, but she warms up after Naruto saves her store from going out of business.
4Kagura
Kagura featured specifically for theNarutogameNaruto: Clash of the Ninja Revolution 2. In the game, Kagura serves as an antagonist and former Anbu of Konohagakure. Kagura left the Anbu and chose the path of villainy after being rejected by Tsunade to be her student. As Kagura was a cold, calculating, and shrewd individual with no respect or care for her allies, Tsunade rejected the idea of her becoming her student.

After being rejected, Kagura temporarily left Konoha to become stronger in order to return to destroy the village. After various machinations and plots unfolded, Kagura and Tsunade had a battle. Kagura’s goal was to destroy Tsunade and Konohagakure who had rejected her dream while Tsunade wanted to protect the village and take care of Kagura who once wanted to become her apprentice. After being defeated byTsunade’s overwhelming power, Kagura left the village.
3Bando
Like Kagura, Bando appears in the gameNaruto: Clash of the Ninja Revolution 2. However, he appears as a secondary antagonist. In the game, Bando is a hulking figure with spiky orange hair. As a weapons dealer, one of his arms is missing and is replaced with a prosthetic arm capable of attaching the giant chakra gun strapped to his back. Bando’s motive fordestroying Konohagakureis rather pathetic, as Jiraiya calls it.
He teams up with Kagura to destroy the village so that the balance of the shinobi world would be destroyed, but his weapon-selling business still thrives, earning him a lot of money. As a weapons dealer, Bando’s greed knows no bounds, and the game’s heroes condemn him for it. Although immensely strong, Bando isno match for Jiraiya, who captures him. After his capture, Bando tried to pin the blame on Kagura by telling Jiraiya he was under her control and was manipulated into doing her bidding. Jiraiya simply ignores his pleading and puts him away.
2Towa
Towa, the enigmatic and mysterious character who appears only in theNarutovideo games, has captured the imaginations of gamers andNarutofans alike. With his Anbu design and powerful abilities, Towa has become a well-liked character despite his limited appearances. In the games, Towa appears as a member of the Anbu alongside Komachi.

He makes minor appearances in the gameNaruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2,andNaruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3. In the former, Towa takes part in putting down the villains Kagura and Bando, and in the latter, he appearsas a playable character. Towa may only appear in the Naruto games, but he has made a big impression on fans with his striking Anbu design, unique abilities, and mysterious background. While fans may never see Towa appear in the Naruto anime or manga, fans can still enjoy playing alongside him in the games while creating their own stories about this character.
1Komachi
Like Towa, Komachi is a member of the Anbu and is portrayed only inNarutovideo games. She is a mysterious character whose background is unknown. In the video game,Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, Komachi goes on many missions with Towa and also contributes to putting down Kagura and Bando. Unlike Towa, who mainly focuses on close combat attack styles, Komachi’s attacks cover a wider area. This helps support her team chemistry with Towa as they cover each other’s weaknesses.
Like many other Anbu members, Komachi is mysterious, but her loyalty to Konohagakure is a given. She does what she can to protect the village alongside Towa and goes on many adventures of combating villainy and ensuring peace with him. Like Towa, Komachi also appears in the gameNaruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3. She and Towa use several of the same dialogues in the games and seem very similar. This is so they discard their individualities and conform tothe Anbu special ops group.
