#''Blocking in the air is often safer than on the ground.''#''Use a tilt to interrupt a combo as you're blocking melee.'' Fast tilts (ex. Ino, Killer Bee) can interrupt characters even while you're blocking.#''Pick the character you like the most.'' You'll have much more motivation to get better with said character and despite the fact that some characters are rated higher than others, it's always possible to make a bad character into a good one.==Ultimate Adventure=====Requests===*''04 - Hide-And-Seek Match:'' Head to the area with the Leaf Village Cafeteria.He's near the save point.*''05 - Hide-And-Seek Revenge:'' You'll find Konohamaru in the same area as theItem Shop just to the right (your right) of Tenten. Sai's in plain view near theLeaf Village Cafeteria. Shino on the other hand is hiding behind the left gatedoor of the Hidden Leaf Village.*''15 - Make Out Code:'' You'll need to visit all of these locations in order:#The Hokage's Mansion's Roof. Check the Lower Right Pillar.#The area with the Amaguriama. It's right near the left counter.#Entrance to the message station.#Training Field.*''21 - Hunt for Favorite Pen:'' Head towards the Training Field. You should find an area with a bunch of openly investigable spots--search all of them. The last spot will be the pen. For the subsequent option, pick any and then pick "Taketo the Item Shop". Head over there and you'll be asked to find materials to fix

the pen. To find the '''Well-Made Pen Shaft''', go to the Message Station. You'll find the '''Well-Made Pen Nib''' right next to Sai. Head back to the Item Shopto finish up the request.*''24 - Promised Flower:'' Midori is in the path to the Uchiha Hideout.*''25 - Karenbara:'' Go to the area right before the Northern Hideout to find the Karenbara.*''26 - Ten Trials:'' '''To unlock, finish the cursed doll quest. After that, remove Tsunade from your party then go back to where the cursed doll master was and talk to Gen there.''' To beat all the trails easily, I recommend using Sai andspamming his ougi. You can exit and enter out of the area to unlock the subsequent trials.===Exchanging Letters===While you're in post game, you can unlock the letter exchanging system by going

to the Message Station and doing Request #14. Afterwards potential party memberswill start messaging you--positive responses result in a heart while negative responses yield nothing. Below is a list of the best replies you can give when exchanging letters with the character listed. The answer number corresponds with the letter number.

All locations listed are eateries inthe Hidden Leaf Village unless otherwise stated. Names in parentheses are NPCswho are also in the event but do not need to be maxed.

Skills and prefe

rence often trump all; highly skilled players can make many lowly rated characters very good (ex. Karin, Temari, Orochimaru). By the same token, very inexperienced players can make many highly rated characters become horrible (ex. Itachi, Minato).'''

*''Ougi:'' Nine-tailed Rasengan or Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken====Battle Items====*''^:'' Ramen (Chakra)*''V:'' Attack Up Tablet*'':'' Bomb Ball====Awakening====''Transformation.'' A severely toned down version of Naruto's (SM/H) awakening.====Support====''[1/5]'' A mid distance dash support and slow start up. Very slow moving to boot.====Overall Rating====''[4/5]'' Naruto's base combo is pretty fast and hard to KnJ. His tilt is essentially a ranged combo but has the severe disadvantage of being obvious. '''Rasengan''' is a good attack to cancel a combo with. All of his jutsus are dash attacks and have less tracking and more startup than his Sage Mode/Hokage counterpart.====Tactics====*''50-hit combo:'' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2cJFEPmhqs*Forget using his air combo near an area boundary because it will often miss dueto his hitbox conflicting with the boundary.====Character Associations====*''Support is similar to Jiraiya's and Minato's.''*''"Weaker" version of Naruto (SM/H).''

He gains a projectile which is a superior version of Kakazu's normal. It's a chakra shuriken so it's extremely extremely cost efficient so t

here's no reason it shouldn't be used. Black Chidori can be great but hard to hit with if the user is far away or if the opponent is diligent.====Support====''[4/5]'' Giant projectile only slightly weaker than his brother's====Overall Rating====''[5/5 (Kirin), 4/5 (CTS)]'' Sasuke's one of the fastest characters and some ofhis combos are hard to punish. Even if they are KnJ'd they're hard to cut without a long distance move because he moves a good distance horizontally. His rangedmoves on the other hand are extremely dangerous because while a flurry of projectiles is great pressure, he's really vulnerable to dash jutsu. All of his jutsuare superb, his normal has a giant area of effect and his hold normal nearly never misses if the enemy is in optimal range. Tilt is pretty useless because of it's range and recovery time. Kirin grinds at the enemy defense and hits three ti

mes--vastly superior to CTS and Akatsuki Sasuke.====Character Associations====*''Support is similar to Itachi's.'' Slower start up but faster moving.*''"Weaker" version of Sasuke (Taka).''*''Recommended support(s)'' (for Kirin)'':'' Chiyo, Hidan, and/or Karin*''Any Konoha 11'' -- Leaf Peers*''Orochimaru / Kabuto / Sasuke / Karin / Jugo / Suigetsu'' -- Orochimaru's Gang*''Orochimaru / Kabuto / Sasuke'' -- Those Steeped in Darkness*''Sasuke / Jugo / Karin / Suigetsu'' -- Hebi*''Itachi / Sasuke'' -- Siblings*''Naruto / Sakura / Kakashi / Taka Sasuke / Sasuke'' -- Team Seven*''Naruto / Sasuke'' -- "Best Friends"*''Sai / Taka Sasuke / Sasuke'' -- All Boys

Amaterasu will follow and catch up to the en

emy no matter how far they are. Sasuke can launch multiple ones like his brotherbut not in rapid succession.====Support====''[5/5]'' A great dash support. Unlike other ones that have their merits in speed, Sasuke's specialty is great tracking.====Overall Rating====''[4/5]'' Taka Sasuke otherwise known as Akatsuki Sasuke. His melee and ranged combos isn't much of a change from his Kirin/CTS self but he has a vastly superior tilt than before. His throw and normals are arguably better.====Character Associations====*''Support is similar to Killer Bee's.''*''"Stronger" version of Sasuke (CTS/Kirin).''*''Any Konoha 11'' -- Leaf Peers

Much higher attack boost than everyone else. It takes down hal

f of the total life bar with just a single melee combo!====Support====''[4/5]'' Pretty much impossible to escape if you're in range (which is pretty short) but if not, it's useless. Throws the enemy into the air, allowing for extended combos.====Overall Rating====''[3/5]'' A lot of people like to undermine Sakura because of her status in theshow but in NSUNS2, she's a hidden gem. Sakura's a character whose fighting style focuses on providing a relentless assault. The majority of her moveset is centered around keeping on the enemy's tail such as '''Cherry Blossom Clash''' catching jumping enemies or her tilt catching running foes. Her Ougi is unusual as adash move because unlike orthodox variations, it can't intercept rushers and isextremely situational. The aerial '''Cherry Blossom Clash''' is faster and has b

etter range. She would no doubt be a ''[5/5]'' it weren't for the fact that using shurikens against her shuts '''Cherry Blossom Clash''' so quickly if the player doesn't use good timing.====Tactics====*Her jutsu work extremely well at ripping through people spamming projectiles. '''Cherry Blossom Clash''' is useful at close range and '''Full Blossom: Cherry Blossom Clash''' is the second coming of Rolling Thunder--it can attack people well across the entire map!*Learn to press the melee button just as '''Charging Straight''' is about to endto maximize pressure and damage. If the enemy is blocking it then you'll have to press the melee button before you slide off the enemy because it'll be unsafe.*Even though it doesn't look like it, '''Charging Straight''' is a bit of a surprise move like Guy's and Killer Bee's normal. Use it to catch people off guard b

ut sparingly.====Character Associations====*''Similar to Tsunade.''*''A good support when paired up with Tsunade's.''*''Any Konoha 11'' -- Leaf Peers*''Any Konoha 11 Except Naruto and Neji'' -- Leaf Chunin*''Naruto / Sakura / Kakashi / Taka Sasuke / Sasuke'' -- Team Seven*''Naruto / Sakura / Sai / Yamato'' -- New Team Kakashi*''Sakura / Tsunade'' -- Monster Strength*''Sakura / Ino'' -- Rivals In Love

*''V:'' Defense Up Tablet*'':'' Kunai Rain====Awakening====''Attack Boost.''====Support====''[1/5]'' Decent tracking but low damage.====Overall Rating====''[4/5]'' You can't help but wonder why Sai is a melee-type in this game. It caneasily be said that his projectiles are much more prominent than his melee attacks. His chakra Shuriken rival's Gaara's and his normal jutsu has high prioritydue to it being a series of three projectiles. His ougi has one of the largest radiuses of all dash jutsu and his throw is great albeit has a bit of a start up

time. "Melee" combos are too long and easy to KnJ but have a large damage output.====Tactics====*Sai is extremely compatible with Attack types because his throw can catch on knockback and launch them away--making a near-infinite combo.====Character Associations====*''Similar to Gaara.''*''Recommended support(s):'' Any Attack type supports (see Tactics).*''Naruto / Sakura / Sai / Yamato'' -- New Team Kakashi*''Sai / Taka Sasuke / Sasuke'' -- All Boys

All of his jutsu are pretty fast and his ougi can hit often when used in certain situations. Kakashi's combos are easy to KnJ and his throw might possibly be one of the worst in the game simply because of it's horridrange.====Tactics====*'''Lightning Blade''' should be used for knockback, to chase enemies, or to max

imize damage like after a KnJ.*'''Lightning Beast Running Jutsu''' should be used at long distances for chip and pressure.*'''Kamui''' is a perfect tool to counter projectile spammers (especially the fireball users). It can also catch people who are caught in supports (see Recommended Supports).====Character Associations====*''Recommended support(s):'' Temari, Shikamaru (balanced), Konan, Chiyo, Hidan,and/or Karin*''Naruto / Sakura / Kakashi / Taka Sasuke / Sasuke'' -- Team Seven

Tilt does more hits.'' Shadow Pinning Jutsu comes out a lot faster than it's counterpart not to mention it has a better horizontal and vertical hitbox.====Support====

''[5/5]'' Shikamaru's support has a huge hitbox, chips well, and stalls the enemy but it doesn't mean anything because if the enemy is too far or too close, themove will end up not connecting correctly. The sole reason that Shikamaru is such a great support is that his Chakra Shuriken during Support Drive (if he is used as a Balanced type support) is exactly the same as his playable version: thebest.====Overall Rating====''[5/5]'' Shikamaru is pretty good technical character especially with each oneof his moves having a specific role. Calculating players will enjoy using all ofhis varied tools according to the situation. His disadvantages lie in his longw

inded melee combos and his unsafe jutsus. This isn't usually a problem as long as the player isn't throwing out random moves.====Tactics====*Tags are easy for initiating knock back so be sure to always have at least oneattack support.*'''Shadow Stitching Jutsu''' is a great tool to break guards. It can also be mixed into his melee combos to make them shorter.*If you don't have enough chakra for your Ougi and the enemy is charging at you,'''Shadow Stitching Jutsu''' is an acceptable alternative.*All of Shikamaru's attacks can strike people on knock back. Take advantage of this fact.====Character Associations====*''Recommended support(s):'' Ino+Choji (at least 1 attack) or Tenten+Tobi (at least 1 attack)*''Any Konoha 11'' -- Leaf Peers*''Any Konoha 11 Except Naruto and Neji'' -- Leaf Chunin*''Shikamaru / Asuma'' -- Inherited Will*''Shikamaru / Ino / Choji / Asuma'' -- Team Asuma*''Shikamaru / Ino / Choji'' -- Ino - Shika - Cho*''Shikamaru / Temari'' -- Chunin Exam Supervisors

Short range, large radius.====Overall Rating====''[3/5]'' Asuma has one of the best tilts--fast, short, and large chip damage. His combos are hard to KnJ for non-mashers but easy for mashers which is probablyhis greatest flaw. His ougi has a slow start up so it's hard to use. His throwis a little below average and his chakra shuriken is pretty fast.====Tactics====

*Use, '''Flying Swallow: Trunk Slash''' at your own risk; in certain unforeseencircumstances, it will not connect.*Insert his normal into his combos as it links easily and hits hard when enemiesare in range.====Character Associations====*''Neji / Asuma / Kakashi / Yamato / Guy'' -- Leaf Jonin*''Naruto / Asuma'' -- Ones of Wind Nature*''Shikamaru / Asuma'' -- Inherited Will*''Shikamaru / Ino / Choji / Asuma'' -- Team Asuma

Teleportation allows him to get behind enemies he usually can't what with his very short range style.====Support====''[1/5]'' It's so hard to land this that it's virtually useless.====Overall Rating====

''[1/5]'' He hits hard and all of his moves are hard to KnJ (with the exceptionof the last hit of his air combo) but are incredibly long which makes the previous statement pointless. Using his jutsus alone is both dangerous and impractical. Despite looks, his throw is easily interrupted because it's not truly invulnerable at all.====Character Associations====*''Similar to Guy.''*''Recommended support(s):'' Guy only.

While in his awakening, he becomes a master of guard breakingespecially with the fact that he inhibits KnJ, disarms spammers and makes the en

Hugest horizontal diameter out of all the defense supports.====Overall Rating====''[3/5]'' His normal is great for breaking guards but sadly easy to KnJ at the end. He's fast, but overall he has an extremely short reach which makes it hard to even attack enemies in the first place.====Tactics====*Don't rely on his aerial capabilities too much as '''8 Trigrams Palm Rotation:Air''' is easy to KnJ.====Character Associations====*''Similar to Hinata.''

A great support if used sparringly because while it comes out fast and unexpectedly, using it too much will pretty much flash some lights.====Overall Rating====''[4/5]'' He's similar to Lee however overall has a melee game that is harder toKnJ which is a massive improvement.

They also have a much larger attack area than any other dashmoves especially in the case that Kiba and Akamaru are separated because they will both attack from two fronts.

ying shame if he were not used as a Balanced Support.====Overall Rating====''[4/5]'' Even though Shino's a projectile fighter, his ranged combos don't reach as far as the others. His projectiles are pretty slow too which is a double edged sword. On one hand, they come out deceptively (especially because they're black) and they add amazing pressure but on the other hand, they're really easy tododge if used defensively or passively. Unlike all of the other projectile characters (and even most of the melee characters), he has probably the fastest andshortest melee in the game which means he can dish out great damage safely if needed. His grab is also supremely swift compared to other characters. One of hisundeniable glaring flaws is his large jutsu start ups. His normal, while awesomefor pressure, has this trait and his ougi can't intercept rushers like other ougis unless you time it meticulously.====Tactics====*Make no mistake; he is not like the other projectile fighters. If you're close,don't run away so you can do your projectile combos. Get all up in the opponent's face with his lightning fast melee, especially taking advantage of his aerialmoves.*Make sure his normal is always out to create pressure.*A time when you can send out '''Hidden Jutsu: Beetle Sphere''' safely is immediately after you have knocked down the enemy and you are standing on top of him/her.

====Awakening====''Transformation.'' Only serves to inhibit Gaara. His melee is even slower and more predictable making it nearly impossible to hit anyone.====Support====''[4/5]'' A very good support that can be used subtly to sneak in a hit like Shino's. His rocket-like Chakra Shuriken when he is used as a Balanced Support aredevastating.====Overall Rating====''[1/5]'' A character meant to be played defensively. Because of this, he has more guard levels than other characters and he has the worst ninja movement in thegame (excluding chakra dash) but his chakra shuriken is godly: fast with a lotof tracking which is probably his only real redeeming quality. His jutsu and combos are slow.

====Tactics====*While his Awakening actually makes him worse, it's actually a huge advantage ifthe opponent activates a large transformation awakening (ex. Deidara's). They have huge hitboxes which make Gaara's melee much more effective.*His throw can catch dashers like protective Ougis. The advantage is that his throw is safer, longer than most, and doesn't cost any Chakra.

Her projectiles don't reach as far as they should and they're quite weak not to mention obvious. Additionally her ChakraShuriken and Jutsu leave her pretty vulnerable.

It's specialty is long range however--it won't hit up close.====Overall Rating====''[4/5]'' Suigetsu's combos may be slow but that actually serves to make them harder to KnJ. His normal is a great anti-air and has god-like tracking but the downside is that it has an extremely long start up time. His ougi on the other hand has nearly zero start up time and travels even after hitting an enemy guard but moves slowly and has a long cool down period which can be fatal depending on the distance relative to Suigetsu as he starts the move. Throw is pretty fast and

can hit rushing enemies with strict timing. Even though it doesn't look like it, it also has the added property of initiating knockback.====Tactics====*Suigetsu's '''Water Dragon Jutsu''' is essentially a charged projectile jutsu.What does this mean? It's great at very long distances but horrid at short distances (excluding dashing opponents).*'''Torrent Water Transformation Jutsu''' starts up immediately--because of this, it can consistently dodge '''Kirin''' and hit Sasuke at the same time.*Suigetsu's normal jutsu's start up time is pretty bad so fighting off Susano'owill be much harder if you use him.

All of Orochimaru's ninja movement are perfect for dodging hits and his melee combos are hard to KnJ for certain people. Orochimaru's jutsu both have weird and unpredictable hitboxes (in agood way). His ougi is pretty safe while his normal is the stark opposite: it has the longest recovery time out of any normal jutsu in the entire game.. so long that even if you do hit the enemy, you won't have time to recover chakra afterwards.====Tactics====*Throw can be inserted into combos as a mix up.

*His melee combos can sometimes hit enemies from behind or function as a dodge so finish them even if the enemy does KnJ you.*If timed correctly, both his forward ninja movement and '''Snake User Jutsu'''can duck under fireballs.*Orochi can insert his ougi right after he knocks down the enemy the first timein his combo, '''Slithering'''.====Character Associations====*''Recommended support(s):'' At least one defense support to make landing his ougi easier.*''Orochimaru / Kabuto'' -- Great Snake and Tactician

This meansit can hit enemies up close who aren't paying attention right away or it can intercept a combo easily. The downside is that because it's multi-hit, it has a higher chance of KnJ but it's more often than not, unlikely. It also launches theopponent up into the air making it great for landing dash ougi. Doesn't have asmuch range as you'd like it to have though.====Overall Rating====''[4/5]'' Kabuto is a great character albeit takes a bit of skill to use. Combos

are unusual making them harder to dodge. Chakra Dissection Blade is a unique dash move in that it initiates instantly and hits during the run. Throw is swift but has horrid range. '''Tendon Mutilation''' can sometimes hit even if the enemyevades it/uses KnJ because at the end of the combo, he appears under the enemylike his tilt.====Tactics====*Whenever you see an enemy charge or a puppeteer far away from his puppet, execute '''Lurk''' to catch them off guard.====Character Associations====*''Orochimaru / Kabuto'' -- Great Snake and Tactician

*''^:'' Clay (Attack Up)*''V:'' Attack Up Tablet*'':'' Burst Kunai====Awakening====''Transformation.'' Pretty great awakening as long as the user can keep on the enemy's tail.====Support====''[2/5]'' Deidara has a huge start up time so that he is more often than not, interrupted. Even if the projectile manages to launch he leaves a small opening for a projectile to hit him as soon as it launches or for someone to chakra dash right under the attack. The only good thing about his support is as a result of it's large radius, it is quite intimidating and it has great tracking.

====Overall Rating====''[2/5]'' Deidara's combos link together so fluidly and swiftly to the point that they're irratating and almost impossible to KnJ from. Additionally, his jutsuhave amazing tracking and his throw is relatively quick as far as ranged throwsgo. Despite having all of these wonderfully great characteristics, he can't really take advantage of them if he can't get the first hits of his combo in and he's really vulnerable during all of his moves. His normal has several problems (see Support section) and his ougi is possibly the most useless move in the game due to it's huge start up time, speed, and tracking.====Tactics====


35/57

*His tilt can close in on enemies while dodging certain attacks at the same time. It also causes a bit of confusion.*Getting close is the end of Deidara so when you see the enemy close the distance, time his Ougi to intercept the opponent or use your tilt to fly away.*You'll have to give up on spamming his ranged against high level players. Instead you have to play rushdown by switching it up between your jutsu, ranged combos, chakra shuriken, et cetera. Use your tilt every so often to create pressure and to dodge the enemy.*His throw has limited range and arcs to the left at the end so one should takecaution when using it as a projectile.====Character Associations====*''Similar to Tenten, Temari, and Shino.''*''Recommended support(s):'' Itachi, Kakazu, Sasuke (CTS/K), or Sasori for addedfirepower.

''Transformation.'' Not really as great as it looks. Even though his melee movesdo colossal damage they are hard to hit confirm. His fireballs are essentiallyKakazu's but with even better tracking.====Support====''[5/5]'' Essentially the same as Kakazu but faster moving and lesser attack radius and tracking. Sasori's support is a lot more vague than Kakazu's too. He isgreat to use as a Defense type because he has the benefit of having two puppetsbut he's not too shabby as a Balanced type where he packs a lot of power.====Overall Rating====''[5/5]'' Fast puppet master that can play rushdown easily. His projectiles come

out fast and have low start off times and they can hit from the enemy's blind spots. Extremely safe character.====Tactics====*I don't recommend it but if you try to use his Awakening, a way you could landhis melee is to first launch out a support like Hidan, Chiyo, or Karin to firsthold the enemy in place. Then, as fast as you can, awaken then pummel the enemywhile they're still caught in their support.*Pick dark stages to make him even more vague to fight. These would be the '''Uchiha Hideout''', '''Forest of Quiet Movement (Night)''' and the '''Hidden Sand Village'''.====Character Associations====*''Similar to Chiyo and Kankuro.''*''A good support when paired up with Gaara's.''

Even if your opponent manages to escape the combo by KnJing, they'll usually be pulled right back into it afterwards.====Overall Rating====''[1/5]'' Hidan might have been a godly character had the KnJ system not have been so broken in this game. He's all about melee and multiple hits so the likelih


37/57

ood that his combos and normal jutsu will suffer to KnJ is astronomically high.His ougi is very hard to hit without chakra dashing although it seems to be designed this way purposely. His tilt however is probably one of the best things about him because it really commands a lot of range with speed to boot, along withbeing a pretty short move.====Tactics====*If you think the enemy is going to use a jutsu while you're doing a melee combo(like perhaps after he or she has KnJ'd you) then switch to '''Soul Hunt''' immediately. By doing this, both of your attacks will end up clashing with each other.====Character Associations====*''Support is similar to Chiyo's and Karin's.''

Kakazu has one of the best awakenings. Seriously. In this form, he has the best projectiles in the entire game which is pretty much the whol

e point of using the Awakening in the first place. '''Weird Mask Blast Flames''', his new jutsu, has everything you'd ever wish for: a large radius, multiple hits, great chip damage, and godly tracking. The opponent has no choice but to barely dodge it if they can at all. His Chakra Shuriken is also great because it'spretty much a Chakra Senbon but with paralysis traits.====Support====''[5/5]'' Best projectile support in the game: great tracking, decent damage, wide area.====Overall Rating====''[2/5]'' Kakazu's throw is slow and has the weirdest hitbox but can be mixed in


38/57

to melee combos easier and more effectively than any other throw in the entire game. His projectile isn't as good as his support counterpart as a result of hislarge start up time. Incidently, his ougi suffers from the same flaw and rendersit impractical. Like Tobi, Kakazu isn't really a big deal until he awakens.====Tactics====*Use '''Fire Style: Searing Migraine''' right after you finish '''Weird Mask Siege'''. It'll hit the enemy on the ground and append pretty great damage.====Character Associations====*''A good support when paired up with Tobi's.''

====Overall Rating====''[1/5]'' His base melee are the easiest to KnJ in the entire game while his extensions are much harder. Though, does this really matter if you can't even get the first hit in? His tilt is pretty great though because it has a huge radius for a melee fighter. He has a great projectile with almost as much tracking as Suigetsu's but inferior range. Kisame's throw is easy to avoid but has a huge radius which again, doesn't really matter if it can't connect anyway.====Tactics====*Abuse his tilt. Very deceptive range.====Character Associations====

ime and chakra dashes are the best in the game (excluding teleportation awakenings). Tilt has pretty high priority over most attacks and chips well. Itachi's combos are of above average difficulty to KnJ and even when characters do there'sa chance they'll get caught right back into the combo again.

He has great combos and a throw that can surpriseenemies not to mention he has a triple-output version of Itachi's fireball. Thereal charm point in his awakening is his tilt however. Almost impossible to avoid and KnJ, it takes the enemy by storm. Think Orochimaru's but better in every

aspect.====Support====''[3/5]'' Hard to avoid mostly because you don't see it coming. It has infiniterange too but not infinite tracking so it's hard to hit vigilant opponents but agodsend against turtlers or puppeteers.====Overall Rating====''[3/5]'' Generally a character who is awkward in his normal form but becomes abeast in his awakening.

====Support====''[2/5]'' Great tracking and area of effect but slow start up and is easy to interrupt.====Overall Rating====''[5/5]'' Konan has an excellent Chakra Shuriken which both travels fast and tracks well but has a slow (comparatively) start up. Not much of a problem though as more often than not, it hits. Her normal shares the same attributes. Her ougihas the largest area of effect out of all the protective ougi but also has one of the largest recovery time. Throw is long, fast, and has little cool down.
