It seems that the final title in the "Ultimate Storm" series for the "Naruto" franchise will be tagged closely to that of the original manga. 

According to Anime News Network, an announcement on the Weekly Shonen Jump — where the original "Naruto" and "Naruto Shippuden" mangas ran and where the "Naruto Gaiden" series is now currently serializing —reiterates Uchiha Obito to be joining the fighter roster for "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4." 

Also, scans from the latest volume of the weekly manga magazine show screenshots of the mysterious Uchiha in battle as his Zetsu-infused persona.  

In addition, it seems that the upcoming title will be tying in closely to what happened in the manga during the Fourth Ninja War. Reports from GeekSnack indicate that aside from the Zetsu-Tobi character, Uchiha Obito's Ten Tails transformation will also be making an appearance. Just like in the manga, Ten Tails Obito will be a formidable antagonist in the Fourth Ninja War. 

Expected to be reproduced in a graphically-stunning setting, the battle will pit players, who will control either Uzumaki Naruto or Uchiha Sasuke, against Obito in his Ten Tails form. The fight will be a part of the story mode in the game. However, it is still unclear if the battle will be featured as a full fight or will be interspersed with cut scenes. 

The release date for "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" has yet to be revealed, but gamers are already eagerly waiting for the title. It is rumored that with the upcoming title being the final one in the series, the fourth installment will be released in both regular and special editions that will feature new options such as exclusive expansion packs and extra content. 

"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC later this year.
