Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections gives fans access to one of the largest rosters in a fighting game of all time. With over 130 characters for players to try out and learn, gamers have their hands tied creating tier lists and team combinations.
But, there are several characters, including newer fighters, that are considered to be the greatest ninjas in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, as they combo well, dish out exceptional damage, and pair well with synergistic partners. Naruto (Baryon Mode) is one such character and has gone on to rival a few others within the S-tier of tier lists.
Naruto's (Baryon Mode) Moves and Ninjutsu
Naruto's (Baryon Mode) moveset appears the same as any other fighter on the Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm roster, save for the specific names of his moves. But, it's how those moves and Jutsu perform in battle that set them aside from the rest of the fighters. Naruto's (Baryon Mode) basic combos have unique properties that set them apart.
For example, Naruto's basic combo string teleports him behind his opponent on the third attack. Naruto's blazing speed in his Baryon Mode also allows him to move a lot faster than some of the slower characters in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections; because of that, Naruto (Baryon Mode) sets up strings, NInjutsu, and ultimate attacks with ease.

Naruto (Baryon Mode) Combos
Naruto (Baryon Mode) has many combos and variations of those combos that he can perform quite easily in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. While he can perform these combos easily on his own, Naruto (Baryon Mode) burns through Chakra at a pretty high rate, meaning that players will want to use support Jutsu to help Naruto extend combos and finish them off with Naruto's Jutsu.
Either way, players can find a string through any one of Naruto's moves. Here are some combos for Naruto (Baryon Mode) in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections:
These combos, much like any other characters' combos, can be modified and changed depending on the amount of Chakra that players have.

The Best Teammates for Naruto (Baryon Mode)
Teammates are a very important aspect of Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections and have the most profound effects that truly matter in a match.

Here are the best support characters to pair up with Naruto (Baryon Mode) in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections:

How to Play Naruto (Baryon Mode)
Naruto (Baryon Mode) isn't a difficult character to learn in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, but he certainly has his complexities. To truly master this variant of Naruto, players must practice with the hero and learn all of his moves and how they work. Then, players will start to string these moves together.
Naruto's 'grab' move is a wonderful tool to use mid-combo, as it works much like Minato's in the sense that it keeps the enemy suspended in midair. Here are some more tips on how to play Naruto (Baryon Mode) in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections:
- Naruto's second Ninjutsu, the Tailed Beast Cannon, is a wonderful ranged attack that hits from afar very quickly. This move is great for interrupting an opponent's support characters, Secret Techniques, Chakra Charges, and more.
- Naruto's first Ninjutsu, the Massive Rasengan, is good for extending combos while in the air. Using Massive Rasengan immediately after a 'grab' attack is a fantastic way to extend a combo.
- Tailed Beast Cannon can add damage to a combo, as it deals more damage than the Massive Rasengan. Tailed Beast Cannon can also start combos from far away; players simply need to follow up with a Chakra Dash as soon as Tailed Beast Cannon ends.
- A support character attacking an enemy with a physical Jutsu can be assisted with Tailed Beast Cannon to further a string.
