Naruto Clash of Ninja is the first Naruto franchise based game for the Game Cube. It uses Cel Shading technology to render the characters, giving them a similar appearance to their anime counterparts. Gameplay involves fighting one on one against either the computer or a second player. Seven characters from Naruto are available at the beginning, with three more unlockable characters. Each character comes with standard taijutsu moves as well as special ninjutsu and power-up moves unique to each of them.
