Developers CyberConnect 2 and publisher Bandai Namco have released several new photos of the upcoming fighting game "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4." The new screenshots, courtesy of Saiyan Island, reveal a massive boss battle against Ten Tails as well as a look at Naruto's Ultimate Jutsu move.

Naruto's Ultimate Jutsu reportedly appears to be a mixture of two moves: his iconic Rasenshuriken, which is a manipulation of wind chakra in order to create a powerful wind blade and the Tailed Beast Ball, the ultimate technique of a tailed-beast and its accompanying Jinchuriki such as Naruto Uzumaki. 

The photos reveal Naruto transforming into his tailed-beast form, using the Shadow Clone technique, and then creating both wind shuriken blades via the Rasenshuriken and the Tailed Beast Ball, one technique per hand, before finally firing both simultaneously at the target.

The second batch of photos showcases Kurama/Naruto engaged in a massive boss battle against the Ten Tails. According to the report, the battle begins with the Ten Tails firing its own version of the Tailed Beast Ball which the player must evade and counter with their own moves.

Once enough damage has been dealt, Ten Tails will begin chasing Kurama/Naruto, forcing the player to flee and outrun it. This section will end with an opportune moment for the Allied Shinobi Forces Jutsu to finally take down the large Ten Tails boss.

A full list of the game's character roster has not yet been revealed but given that this is expected to be the final "Naruto Shippuden" game from CyberConnect 2, there is a possibility that the game will include every major character in the series, including those from the manga's epilogue chapters and the movies set after the main anime series.

 "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" is expected to release for the PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One by Feb. 4 in Japan, Feb.5 in Europe and Feb. 9 in North  America.
