Fortnite Adds Naruto Skins, Kunai Weapon, and More Cosmetics
Naruto and his Team 7 pals Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi have finally arrived in Fortnite this morning after months of speculation, reports, rumors, and leaks. As is typical for these sorts of Fortnite crossovers, the game's Item Shop now includes skins for the aforementioned characters as well as variant styles and other cosmetics like Back Bling, Pickaxes, Gliders, Emotes, and more. And that's just the tip of the Naruto-shaped iceberg.
More specifically, in addition to the skins noted above, Naruto himself has the Seventh Hokage variant style, Sasuke's skin includes the Snake Sword Pickaxe, Sakura comes with the Sakura Uchiha variant style, and Kakashi gets the Black Ops Kakashi variant style. Essentially, there are two versions of each character save for Sasuke.
Back Bling featured as part of the crossover include the Pakkun Back Bling, Demon Wind Shuriken Back Bling, Hidden Leaf Cloak Back Bling, and the Scroll Back Bling. Then there's the Black Ops Sword Pickaxe, the aforementioned Snake Swor, the Kunai Pickaxe with a Black variant style, and Hidan's Scythe. And to round out the usual bevy of cosmetics, there's the Kurama Glider in addition to several Loading Screens and Emotes attached to various bundles or available individually.
Believe It!@Naruto_Anime_EN, along with the rest of the members of Team 7 have arrived on the Island.
