There are four different paths of The Nindo for players to earn rewards from. There's a certain Naruto character spearheading each path, including the Path of Itachi, Path of Gaara, Path of Hinata, and, last but not least, the Path of Orochimaru.

Here's a list of the challenges and their rewards. Players will be rewarded for unlocking one badge, five badges, and ten badges per path. By completing one full path, players will earn the Akatsuki Wrap, and complete all four to get the Manda Glider.

  • (Every 5 Top-6 Finishes) - One badge in the Itachi path unlocks the Shocked Itachi Emoticon.
  • (Every 24 Storm Circles Survived) - One badge in the Gaara path unlocks the Focused Gaara Emoticon.
  • (Every 20 Fishes Caught) - One badge in the Hinata path unlocks the Byakugan Hinata Emoticon.
  • (Every 18 Eliminations) - One badge in the Orochimaru path unlocks the Orochimaru's Smile Emoticon.

To complete Itachi's questline, players will need to compete in the following playlists: Fortnite Battle Royale (Squads), Zero Build (Squads).

For the Gaara Path, survive storm circles in Fortnite Zero Build (Solo, Duos, Trios).

For the Hinata Path, use the Battle Royale and Zero Build playlists (Solo, Duos, Trios).

And for Orochimaru, play in Battle Royale (Solo, Duos, Trios).

Five badges of one path unlock 20,000 XP . You can earn up to 80,000 XP total by unlocking all five badges of all the paths.

Fortnite is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
