Play Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4 Online

Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4 came out for the Nintendo DS in 2009, published by Tomy Corporation. It was one of many anime-based games on the platform, offering a portable action experience during the height of the series' popularity. The game follows the early Shippuden story arcs, letting players step into the Hidden Leaf Village and beyond.

You control Naruto and his allies through side-scrolling levels, battling enemies with combos and special jutsu activated by swiping or tapping the touch screen. The main goal is to progress through each stage, defeat bosses, and occasionally switch characters like Kakashi or Sakura for specific abilities or team attacks. Exploration is straightforward but broken up by combat, item collection, and light puzzle-solving. The difficulty is manageable, though some boss fights demand quick reflexes. It feels energetic and simple, capturing the rush of a ninja skirmish without overcomplicating things.
