Everything we do goes by them.“ Naturally, the next question is if we get to play as any of the original characters to which Young quickly replied, “No, not the original characters. We work very closely with Viz and Shueisha to make sure that these are true to the characters. So, we’re using these original missions we created to explore the friendship and explore the new characters. We wanted to give you a sense of who those friends are. Young explained, “This part of the story is about Naruto and his friends and they’re going after Sasuke. I spotted a few original characters not created by Viz in the mission so I asked Ceri Young, Script Writer of Naruto: The Broken Bond, about them and how they fit into the game.
Later in the level Naruto solves a puzzle by using shadow clones to build a human bridge while Shikimaru flips a switch by controlling his shadow. After Neji activates his Byakugan the screen changes colors into shades of blue and dangerous explosive tags are illuminated. This warning is an indicator for players to switch to an ally like Neji. When Naruto senses danger white lines appear above his head. However, they weren’t using them in the heat of battle. In Naruto: The Broken Bond I saw Neji, Shikmaru, and Naruto use some of their signature moves.
