Other than Naruto Shippuden Collaboration, the update also brings Akatsuki Keepsakes that help players in unlocking special powers. Nevertheless, it is a risky task because it can reveal players position to enemies.
The game also allows player to decide their allegiance to either the Akatsuki or the Hidden Leaf Village. Players can interact with specifications found on the map. The clash between Akatsuki or the Hidden Leaf Village will bring extra level of intensity and thrill to the game.
The destroyed version of the Hidden Leaf Village is added within the Bermuda map.
