Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4

About

Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4 is a platform and beat 'em up action game developed by Aspect for the Nintendo DS, released in 2007. Set two and a half years after the original Naruto series, it follows the Shippuden storyline, centering on the mission to rescue Gaara from the Akatsuki organization. Players assemble a three-member squad from a roster of returning characters, each with distinct jutsu abilities. Combat incorporates the DS touch screen to execute jutsu attacks, and unlocking additional techniques opens up previously inaccessible areas of the game world, adding an exploratory dimension to progression. The narrative moves through plot twists consistent with the Shippuden arc, making the game accessible to both longtime followers of the franchise and players new to the setting. Squad selection and jutsu variety provide the primary layer of strategic depth across its action-oriented stages.
