Tags: Art, Naruto, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360,

On Sunday, a new scan revealing the inclusion of Kakashi, the 7 Swordsmen of the Mist, and samurai Naruto in Naruto Storm 3. Namco Bandai Games has today released artwork from the scan! The 7 Swordsmen and Kakashi artwork is a single image and there is also a separate Samurai Naruto image.

Will Samurai Naruto occupy another character slot or have a different set of moves? It’s unclear at point in time, although Namco Bandai does note he is an “alternate costume”.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is Namco Bandai Games and CyberConnect2′s fourth entry in the Storm series. It will be available for the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 in Japan, North America, and Europe sometime Spring 2013. It will begin with the incident with the Nine Tailed Fox from 16 years ago, continue on to the Five Kage Arc, and go up to the Shinobi War, covering latest episode of Naruto Shippuden before the game’s release.

    They didn’t have a troll scan this week so saiyan Island trolled us with this,nice work SI XD.

  • ichigokun

    how did they troll us? these images are official. we saw them in the scan.

     Kakashi’s art has his alliance headband on, maybe we get a separate kakashi with the leaf logo.? ~

  • Roy Thuis

    Though I really love the new naruto outfit, i wonder: Is it only Naruto?
    Because I would pay 10 bucks more if this game has ANBU Kakashi, ANBU Itachi, ‘f*ked up’ Tsuchikage, maybe even hot dress Hinata?!

  • Daniele Prati

    Wah, i want the seven swordship playable! Damn!

  • Mickeycuzz

    What was Zabuza’s brothers unique talent ..he could weild all 7 swords?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_7BDKDRCCBE4MP7OAAY2GWFOHJQ Nicholas

    i think its cool with the samurai naruto im kinda bored with the games that relive the story mode i would like a entire storm game with filler but not anime filler just some awesome made up crap it could be dlc what if stories that would keep me on my ass

  • Daniele Prati

    Suigetsu’s brother, not Zabuza’s. His name’s Mangetsu. He could use all the swords of the mist, it is unclear whether or not simultaneously ^^He could also use Suiton: Hydrification Technique and the Water gun of Hozuki clan ;)

  • Mimi Sonoku

    I did wish they created a story where the Naruto Shippuden generation meets with their younger generation and fight fight fight 

  • Mimi Sonoku

    Too bad they won’t add Raiga to the swordsmen 

  • michael walker

    They should make an alternate version of Killer Bee where he uses Samaheda.

    And they should change the awakenings of Suigetsu and Jugo……just a couple of random suggestions:)

  • treeko

    They keep posting the same shit over and over again haven’t you seen it already whats the need of posting this separately.

  • Daniele Prati

    O_o Raiga doesen’t exist.

  • Rory

     I agree! Suigetsu doesn’t so much need a new one yet though as he hasn’t returned in the series. Although I had expected Jugo to have his Sage Transformation in Generations. It would be insane to not have it this time around with such an emphasis on Story Mode. That’s why I kept Storm 2, they do such a brilliant service to fans with their Story Modes!

    Also with a lot of alternate costumes, the cloaks that Taka wear at the Five Kage Summit would be cool. Definitely Edo Tensei/Normal costumes for the Edo Tensei characters. 

  • timanel1

    i hope they confirm soon if they are playable or not.. and i hope edo tensei to be alternate costumes too.. hoping for a new trailer before christmas including some world war arc  too :P

  • Mickeycuzz

    Ahhhh, yea Suigestsu that’s what I meant .. not Zabuza xD haha thanks man!

  • supersaiyanbardock

    its ok.

  • Vinay Vikash

    Does anyone know which episode(manga chapter) we will reach when the game releases.

  • http://www.facebook.com/keviouk Kevin Ardoullie

    The artworks and the screen lead me to the conclusion that they will be playable. Why ? Because CC2 always make artworks for playable characters, or at least supports. But if they’re played by the CPU in the hack ‘n slash part, they could probably be played by us in versus mode, right ? There’s no reason the swordsmen wouldn’t be playable, IMO.

  • http://www.facebook.com/keviouk Kevin Ardoullie

    The Storm series is always following the anime. When Storm 2 was released, Pain arc just ended. I guess it will be the same for Storm 3…

  • Perfect Susano’o

    Probably around chapter 670 so Full bijuu mode Naruto will be in the game and the jinchuuriki’s as well(This is at least what I want). The manga must be 60 chapters a head of the anime, so it won’t go further than that chapter I think.

  • Matsu96

    and you guys are posting the same shit over and over again, too. Please stop bitching and be satisfied with the great job SI and CC2 make.

  • treeko

    I think each character should have 4 alternative costumes,like tekken.

  • http://www.facebook.com/Bryan.Panda.Cortes Bryan Cortes McQueen

    If the 7 Swordsmen of the Mist are not playable what will be the point of buying this game ? So they better be playable. I would buy it even if they are not playable thou that’s how much of a Naruto fan i am 

  • Matsu96

    ” If the 7 Swordsmen of the Mist are not playable what will be the point of buying this game ?” -.- Are u trolling? I don’t care that much about the 7 swordsmen because we didn’t see much of them. I would be pleased if they were support-only. Apart from that, there are MANY other characters that are much more epic and more worth of buying this game.

  • http://www.facebook.com/Bryan.Panda.Cortes Bryan Cortes McQueen

     Yeah  I know, but that is the reason why i would love to see them in the game because we didn’t see much of them. They are supposed to be the best swordsmen in the manga.. It would be a darn shame not to be able to play with them. But even if they are not playable that doesn’t mean I wont but the game. I’m buying the game no matter who is in the game.

  • yujizzsakai

    i agree like that hack and slash is already enough lol! 

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002998062897 Abdi Hassan

    Please list these “MANY” epic characters. Because if you don’t want the seven swordsmen you might as well not add the majority of the resurrected Edo Tensei because they barely showed anything at all except for the Akatsuki. What are you left with the Third Raikage,Second Mizukage,Fourth Kazekage, Muu, Darui, Hanzo and Mifune. Most of these characters have not done anything to merit being called “epic”. Is that your definition of “many epic characters”?. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/Nelserg Nelson Uchiha

    Sasuke is a better swordman hands down also Sasuke Kusanigi can’t break so he has a good advantage 

  • http://www.facebook.com/Nelserg Nelson Uchiha

    You don’t need to see what they do to be called Epic 1 perfect example Madara wtf are you gonna say about him he did not do shit in the anime yet but everybody knows  he is fucking EPIC the definition on EPIC there is still other people like serious Tobi that will be a good as a character to play as for me not really their is still EMS Sasuke,Bijuu Naruto, Nagato, Neji’s dad, Hinata’s Dad, and many more obviously your not a true Naruto fan if you only wanna play as cool looking and Op character you should pick the characters that you really from the show which in my case would be

    1.EMS Sasuke
    2.Itachi (Edo Tensei)
    3.Madara (Edo Tensei)
    -Anko
    -Nagato
    -Ameyuri
    -Yagura (3 Tails)
    -Fuguki 
    -Hanzo

    There is many more people i wanna play as but those are just a couple and that’s my Top 3 cause i love the Uchiha and Sasuke is my fav char but their is still the Jinchurikis that might be playable i say they will but just cause they did not announce them i say might

  • http://www.facebook.com/Nelserg Nelson Uchiha

    I wonder if Samurai Sasuke will be playable cause he was in the same game Samurai Naruto was in and it was basically about them and you Can’t give something to Naruto and not Sasuke and same goes for the opposite you can’t give something to Sasuke and not Naruto it’s how it always has been since the 1st episode.

  • KingMza

    Hopefully the Swordsmen are playable, I mean it would be a major dissapointment, like if they are not in the game then who else will CC2 exclude.

  • http://twitter.com/NathanielFernad Nathaniel Fernadez

    in a way the 7 swordmen is epic like without them wat kind of game would it be. u guys have to think

  • http://twitter.com/NathanielFernad Nathaniel Fernadez

    this game has to have also madara we only r going up by 20 episode befor this game release because this game released date is 3/31/2013

  • http://twitter.com/NathanielFernad Nathaniel Fernadez

    we might not get as much charecter because this episode are only going up higher 20 maybe 30

  • Sharkskin_kisame

    saske i a better swordsman than  who? if you mean the 7 ninja swordman than you are mistaken

  • Sharkskin_kisame

    if they are not in the game and didnt changa kisame’s combos im not goin to buy it but i doubt that

  • Rayson

    I just had the most fucked up idea CC2 is plaining they are thinking “maybe we could do the SSM just like we did the six paths of pain Sui’s brother combo’in making them come out but then again i was thinking no there’s 6 but 4 combo’s and he can’t make them appear he can only use their blades so idk just hope they don’t mess up with the 3 vs 3 as in being able to switch with the support character if they do that then that would be the most fk’ed up BS i ever seen i would like 3 vs 3 as in me my friend and my other friend vs a dude with his 2 friends on one stage 

  • Rayson

    Actually dude sasuke is a better swordsmen 

  • Rayson

    Idc what u say because i mean look at mifune and hanzo wtf kind of fight was that a few slashes and a flashback if we are getting another naruto which pisses me off already then we better get the SSM as playable hands down u disagree then idgaf 

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/SWJIOLAZOGOB7GEXIZQSJ2ZHCU CoolDude14

    Wouldn’t it be sick if this naruto goes into KCM!

  • Enmanuel Castaneda

    no way you mean he is a better susanoo’s men

  • Enmanuel Castaneda

    i dont like that artwork for kakashi and im worried that ninja swordsmen are not going to be playable individually. i mean that i want each 7 individually not all of them in combos but one by one by one. for example naruto he is individual but not like naruto and hokage at the same time in a whole character but hokage individual playable too you know not together 

  • Enmanuel Castaneda

    like not support for like when the other dies i just want this jinin akebino that counts one charcter then ringo ameyuri one character see but the are not together if you dont understand what im talking about then look at their picture and notice how all of them are tight and together. + im worried that they are only going to be enemies for the hack n slash battles but not as playable characters LETS PRAY THAT DOESNT HAPPENS

  • Enmanuel Castaneda

    he is good thanks to his sharingan nut 7 ninja swordsmen in sword using are the best doesnt mean that if sasuke just uses jutsus and amateratsu and some lightning in the sword makes him best but is my opinion

  • Sharkskin_kisame

    i highly doubt it their are amazing jujst  who they are and why would CC2   make combos for them but only be playable in story just think about it no  naruto ha thet you be aa character on story only with the exeption of storm 2 when you where small naruto and that was becuase storm 2 was based on shippuden

  • Sharkskin_kisame

    they are amazing because they work together very well if zabuza does his hidden mist all of them can do silent killing saske is strong but stupid i mean how many times has he al most died but tobi saved him because he keeps useing his sharingan to much he got itachis powers not brains

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VVCK6ASWYW67C6DIO3OUCY3IME Felipe

    I understand what you mean, you want them as separate characters. Everyone here wants the same thing. About the picture, yes, they are tight together, but actually, it’s just image edition. If you have a good eye, you will notice that there are some weird things in this pic. Firstly, look at Jinin Akebino and focus on his Hammer; then look at Fuguki Suikazan (the big guy at his left)…there should be some shadows, like a silhouette of the Hammer, shouldn’t?. Now focus on Jinin’s “ponytail”; then look at Kushimaru Kuriarare (the masked guy): Shouldn’t his hair be moving to the right? Also, the distances and the profundity doesn’t look correct. What they did was paste the original artworks in the background, paste the stone with the swords attached and the other ones, paste the artwork of Kakashi, then do some edition. The “separation” of the images was just about select/erase background or other elements/paste. The Artworks of the 7 Swordsmen and Kakashi are all single drawings, they just don’t want to reveal them now.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003736116216 Otaku Kun

    i think that the naruto samurai is just a costume for mifune. considering he is the only samurai we know in the game that is playable. we might be lucky enough to have the samurai warriors as playable. but i doubt it

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1381284859 Javier Hyuga

    pongan neji y hinata vs zetsus blancos esas estaran genial ajsjaksjkajs es una idea o los persoonajes de la division combate cercano en las que estan kurotsushi de lider a parte esta hinata y neji y la nieta de onoki

    pd: es solo una idea pero sera genial ver a los hyuga en un poco de accion no que opinan???

  • Rayson

    Wth o.O sasuke doesn’t have 2 use sharangan its already planted into his normal eyes you know when he was 7 and saw itachi his eye’s were in the first stage of sharangan but it isn’t really SG until u have the red and blah blah blah blah but overall he doesn’t need it he’s just a beast swordsmen just like the rest 

  • Rayson

    He got saved 1 time and that was when the tsukikage caught him off guard overall itachi used his SG just like sasuke was that’s why he was like that at the age of 13 or however old he was when he fought kakashi his eyes were already messed up  

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VVCK6ASWYW67C6DIO3OUCY3IME Felipe

    Tu idea sobre Neji/Hinata y los otros es perfecta para el modo de Hack & Slash. Hay una chance bien alta de esto ocorrer.

    Traslation: Your idea about Neji/Hinata and the others is perfect for the Hack & Slash Mode, and there’s a huge chance of this happenning.

  • http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

    WHY would they put NARUTO’S face on an alternate costume for MIFUNE?

  • http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

    Storm 2 Story Only:

    Naruto: (SM w/o cape)
    Naruto: (6TK, modified chakra blast volley/jump)

    Generations Story Only:

    Sasuke: (PTS, Armband)
    Sasuke: (PTS, alternate jutsu for costumes)
    Naruto: (PTS, Shadow Clone Shuriken – Jutsu)

    Not much, but still possible. Considering the gameplay style is different for the hack and slash portions, it’s possible those characters were built only for that specific engine. Hopefully not, since you’re right about the movesets for other characters being the same as for normal fights.

  • Tyler Casilio

    SPOILERS!!! Kakashi killed Rin and Obito saw!!!!

  • Tyler Casilio

     There is no confirmed Release Date yet.

  • Sharkskin_kisame

    danzo too and probably others but i dont realy cAre for saske im just telling you that  hes not stronger than all maybe some of them

  • Enmanuel Castaneda

    thank you

  • Enmanuel Castaneda

    thank you

  • WHY1254

     bull shit where you got that information

  • Based4lyfe

    he got it from manga 604

  • Deno13

    Yep he killed her

  • http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

    Kakashi’s artwork looks sick. Hopefully, the artworks will look that good on the character select screen. I have to admit, seeing badass art before a fight does get you pumped and ready.

  • http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

    WTF? For real!?

  • Tyler Casilio

    604. That’s why Obito became Tobi I guess

  • Brenda Booker

    Oh my gaaawwww. How long will this take? It has been an entire daaay….that’s like equivalent to a century!!! (Epic sarcasm) Seriously though, I feel like this is taking forever to get more news…maybe I should stop checking this site over twenty times a day for new info and it won’t seem like its taking so long…sigh…

  • narutonatsu

    most likely Kakashi had no control of what he was doing but it will really be hurtful that Rin didnt know even he was being controled. Or Rin is still alive, she did didn’t come back with edo tensei and i doubt her body was lost somewhere like Jiraya’s … lol damn too intense. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Bryan-Alexis-Mejia-Diaz/100001834558926 Bryan Alexis Mejia Diaz

    lol im checking this site everytime! :P i i followed all generations stuff until its release. dont worry ur not the only one :P

  • Tonii_Montana

    What a dick, seriously bro? What compelled you to release this sort of information when there are plenty of forums out there that are catered towards making comments about the manga chapters.

  • gaarag4

    I feel ur pain lol

  • XGriever

    PS360HD2 said about a Korean interview confirming support only characters, that confirms to me that the seven swordsmen will all be support only, i can just see it happening.

  • jason bradley

     i think they will be playable after all hanzo is playable and he has not shown much in justsu but he looks fun to play so i think they will come up with something for each of them

    but if they are not playable i can imagine they will either be support characters along with gari and pakura or they will be part of edo tensei zabusa’s combo’s

    but i hope they make mugetsu playable he could use all of the swords in his combos like pts tenten

  • Daniele Prati

     Thi would be heresy.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001062360226 Omar Ali

    Did you mean the Hack n slash mode support character or just the swordsmen characters ?

  • naruto_fan_desia

    Tomorrow new Naruto opening Moshimo hope it will be epic

    Same for me guys, we’re starved for news !

  • http://www.facebook.com/keviouk Kevin Ardoullie

    Hopefully I didn’t read when I saw your comment… your saved me from another stupid spoiler. Seriously, people have no respect for those who don’t wanna know that kind of stuff. As you said, there are plenty of forums and others to talk about it, so why pissing us off with that ? :(
    I shouldn’t even read comments… sad, sad world.

  • Sharkskin_kisame

    and orichemaru blade dance too but comon who else would they put other than ginkaku and kinkaku maybe the tailed beast and the old kages thats not enough

  • AdrianH20

    i hope there will be 4 v 4 match on multiplayer or 3 v 3 in hack n slash i can see alot clan and shit happening

  • *Super~Sayian*

    yeah cause figting 5 kages + samarui’s + darui + C is such an easy task. next time you try to discredit sasuke’s potential actually use common sense. his sharingan maybe his reason for good swordsmanship, but who the hell cares, it’s a okay for naruto to use kyuubi and sagemode and yet people don’t bother subjecting him to that. anyways, sasuke is all brain and power, otherwise he wouldn’t even had made it this far, which makes your point invalid. 

  • *Super~Sayian*

    yes that is your opinion, cause it’s wrong, even thou his sharingan helps him in swordsman ship, that is his ability, that isn’t an tool but his extention, how can you say the mist ninja’s are stronger if they too require an jutsu just to be effective? remove zabuza’s ability to use hidden mist and remove sasuke’s ability to use sharingan and I bet you anything that sasuke will win in sword to sword combat, these other swordsman are ONLY powerful because their sword has special abilites, you think exploding sword, chakra absorbtion sword is considered swordsman ship? come on dude, give all these guys normal swords I bet sasuke will kill most of these ninja’s aside from mifune, who I believe is the only who can actually challenge or even kill sasuke with or without sharingan.

  • *Super~Sayian*

    why? I’m not really an fan of him either but I don’t see anything wrong with him, he seems like an “decent” youtuber. 

  • Brenda Booker

    Was that mean? Sigh. i guess i must let you win and apologize. i apologize. bleh. hate sayin that. 

  • *Super~Sayian*

    It’s cool, and no I just decided to end the topic before we both ended up hating eachother, no worries.

  • Tonii_Montana

    I completely agree. I think that’s the type of content that will make versus mode 10x better.

  • Tonii_Montana

    Only thing about that guy is 90% of his ninja storm updates are taken directly from saiyan island.

  • michael walker

    There should be 3 health bars this time

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VVCK6ASWYW67C6DIO3OUCY3IME Felipe

    I was thinking about coming home to look at Saiyanisland and see new info the entire day; then i come here and see the same “One Pice: Romance Dawn Box Art” entry :/…Don’t you hate it? XD

  • Mickeycuzz

     THANK YOU!! I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about this. The hack & slash mode basically proves they can add 3 vs 3 if they wanted to! How cool would it be to have clan wars with up to two or three other friends …pfft! I love story mode, but they need to add some new versus content.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Serket-Hamo/100001242494472 Serket Hamo

     i agree. It should be like an optional thing to do in the options

  • Sharkskin_kisame

    they wont if you have to fight them in the story then they have combos right? so they wont be support character

  • narutopiece1

    Naruto Shippuden Opening 12 (Moshimo by Daisuke) was Awesome XD

  • Enmanuel Castaneda

    they are doing the same just like they did before

  • XGriever

    yes but remember storm 2 where you fought the animal,human & preta path all at once with jiraya, they weren’t playable now were they.

  • Sharkskin_kisame

    yes they were but in pains combos and they all only had one jutsu remember? the 7 swordsman all have diffrent swords with there own unique abilitys unlike the pains

  • jason bradley

     a versus hack n slash mode that would be awesome

  • robert hill

    That would make this game….. so much more good, certianlly for matches like sand vs leaf, 3 sanin vs orochi….. heck there so many options a 3v3 or a 4v4 can open up. im glad they added the hack and slash though its a nice touch to the storm series 

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    Yeah that’d be good for the online.

  • trollbito

    LOL WAT A WETARD

  • Matsu96

     My list of epic characters are:
    1. UCHIHA MADARA!!!!^^
    2. Kin-Gin Brothers
    3. Sandaime Raikage
    4. Young Nagato
    5. Darui
    and as you mentioned Fourth Kazekage, Muu and Nidaime Mizukage
    In my opinion, all of them have done things worth to be called epic! XD
