My name is Rafael Alves, known as Shinzo. I created the AnimeNew website in 2009 to offer news about anime, manga, and games directly from Japan.

Naruto fans have been experiencing an unexpected wave of nostalgia! Old videos from the game Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution , released in 2014, have gone viral again on YouTube channels, rekindling interest in the origins of the Akatsuki .

This fighting game, developed by CyberConnect2 , features a game mode entirely dedicated to the Akatsuki. The animation, created by Studio Pierrot , reveals details about how some of the most iconic members joined the organization. Masashi Kishimoto , creator of the manga, contributed the exclusive design of the "pre-Akatsuki" outfits for characters like Sasori and Kakuzu , making the experience even more immersive and faithful.

Furthermore, the game was a milestone for the franchise by offering 100 playable characters, including various versions of heroes and villains, released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Ultimate Ninja saga , famous for its animated cutscenes, once again impressed fans with the care and dedication in its visual storytelling.
