** Strangely enough flashbacks don't seem to check for having blood turned off, so still display it anyway. As well as a certain scene with [[spoiler: Zabuza and Haku]], but that scene wouldn't make sense without it.



* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler: Karin after getting ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice by Sasuke's Chidori Spear.]] Not seen if you have blood off, obviously.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In one cutscene, we're told the [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Reaper Death Seal]] [[CastFRomHitPoints causes its user to die.]] That doesn't stop Hiruzen from using it as his Ultimate Jutsu without any ill effects. In fact, it's highly possible for him to use it ''multiple times in the same battle!''

Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler: The Prologue ends with Kushina narrating that "This is the story of a hero [...] a hero I love." At the time, you're led to believe she's talking about Minato, but the ending shows it actually reffers to Naruto. Every line of her speech manages to take on a whole new meaning too.]]


Added DiffLines:

** This is particularly strange with the [[spoiler: former Jinchuriki]] whose reaminated forms have [[spoiler: a Sharingan and Rinnegan]], which should make them '''much''' more powerful than they were while they were alive. But no, they still play identically.


Added DiffLines:

* SequentialBoss: The final battle consists of:
** [[spoiler: Fighting all six former Jinchuriki in their human forms. (Optionally you can fight them three at a time)]]
** [[spoiler: Fighting them in their Tailed Beast states two at a time.]]
** [[spoiler: Fighting the Tailed Beasts ''again'', this time in ''your'' Tailed Beast form.]]
** [[spoiler: The final fight with Tobi himself.]]

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
She only expresses relief that he\'s returned safely, and there isn\'t even any dialogue. I don\'t think this really qualifies.

** SequalHook: On the other hand, it's made pretty clear that the real battle is ''not'' over yet, and that [[spoiler: Tobi and Madara]] will return someday. [[spoiler: Madara]] even uses the phrase "to be continued" during his VillainExitStageLeft. There has been talk of DLC to add aditional story chapters once the manga gets further, but nothing confirmed.

* DownloadableContent: Several.
** First, for pre-ordering the game from GameStop, you get Naruto in Goku's outfit. His move animations now resemble that of Goku's and his Rasengan is now performed like the Father-Son Kamehameha.
** Second, if you are a Neon Alley subscriber, you get Samurai Naruto, Kimono Sasuke, School Uniform Sakura, Swimsuit Tsubade, and ANBU Itachi.
** Third, recently released on Xbox Live and Playstation Network, is a School Uniform pack for Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Ino, and Hinata. Designs taken directly from how they appeared in the 2nd anime ending.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: Many of the "Legend" choices in battles require you to do something incredibly rash or irrational, such as refusing aid from an ally, or going the LeeroyJenkins route as opposed to being strategic. The choice for the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist battle Lampshades this, though it's justified in that you're playing as [[HotBlooded Guy]].

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Many characters have alternate "war" outfits. This is purely a cosmetic change, they still play exactly the same.



* BackFromTheDead: Kabuto's Edo Tensei brought back a large number of previously killed off characters. Though you don't actually have to wait until you unlock their Reanimated forms to use them: their ''living'' skins are unlocked by default. Heck, even quite a few dead characters who ''aren't'' revived, like Pain[[spoiler:'s Yahiko body]], are still playable to maintain a complete roster.
