Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections: 10 Best Accessories (& How To Unlock Them)

Here's how to unlock all of the best accessories in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections.

Many ninjas in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections have movesets that play out very similarly but are ultimately chosen for specific details, such as Ninjutsu. The best characters in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections usually have 'spammy' attacks or Ninjutsu. This gives them an edge over the majority of the roster who have a more fair and balanced moveset, like Shikamaru.

10 Sarada Uchiha (Chidori: One Thousand Birds)

Easy Ninjutsu Combos

Sarada using Chidori with Sharingan

Daughter of Sasuke and Sakura, Sarada is a member of Team 7, and one of the most powerful chunin in the Hidden Leaf Village. Sarada has many of the same powers as her father, with a few unique tricks of her own.

Many of these special moves make her better than other characters in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. Though the original Sarada character is able to consistently spam Blade Trap, Sarada Uchiha (Chidori: One Thousand Birds) just has better Ninjutu that caters to several situations, including the aerial battleground.

9 Pain

Simple & Powerful

Pain

Pain was one of the most powerful villains in all of Naruto at one point, and Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections dare not to forget that. In this title, Pain, equipped with the Rinnegan, is capable of depleting health bars very easily with distinct combos.

With the right teammate(s), Pain can pull off devastating moves with his two Ninjutsu, both of which are equally horrifying. To get the best out of Pain, players would have to take time to practice the character, especially with coordinating moves with synergistic support attacks and Chakra Dashing out of combos.

8 Obito (Ten-Tails Jinchuriki)

Devastating Combos & Damage

Obito as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki

Not only is Obito with the Ten-Tails a fascinatingly monstrous villain in the anime/manga, but this version of Obito is just as exceptional in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. Obito (Ten-Tails Jinchuriki) has plenty of power behind him in the force of his Ninjutsu and basic attacks.

His basic combos are significant in the way the blows land. Obito's Ninjutsu are both very incredible ways to end a combo or to revive one with the help of an ally's supporting Ninjutsu.

7 Kaguya Otsutsuki

Unique Mechanics

Kaguya hovering over the planet

Kaguya Otsutsuki is a very intimidating character to fight against, as her moves act like no other. Kaguya's entire moveset flows with visible ease as she combos an enemy endlessly. One of the biggest features of Kaguya Otsutsuki is that she practically plays like a boss fight.

Kaguya's Ninja Tools on the bottom left of the screen are replaced with four different locations that correspond with various elements. These locations also change her first Ninjutsu, which will match whichever element she is currently in the vicinity of.

6 Madara (Six Paths)

Simple Jutsu With A Magnificent Skill Ceiling

Madara with Six Paths

Madara has always been a powerhouse in the Ultimate Ninja Storm series, and Storm Connections is no different. Madara (Six Paths) is an extremely powerful variant of Madara Uchiha that has become a favorite choice among the roster.

5 Naruto (Sage of the Six Paths)

Ranged Fighter With Physical Prowess

Sage of the Six Paths Naruto

Naruto has plenty of different spots on the roster, but only a select amount is actually considered to be the best. Naruto (Sage of the Six Paths) is one of the Naruto variants that is considered to be an S-tier character.

In Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, Naruto (Sage of the Six Paths) is an exceptional fighter, and even more so with his ranged Ninjutsu. Both of Naruto's Ninjutsu are very similar, as they're simply different types of his iconic Rasengan.

4 Sasuke (Boruto)

Versatility Everywhere

Sasuke (Boruto)

Sasuke has always been a popular choice in the Ultimate Ninja Storm series, and this variant of Sasuke may just be the strongest one yet.

Naruto: Every Hokage, Ranked According To Strength

Being Hokage can be a huge burden, and not many are fit to hold the title. Every Hokage had something that made them unique. This is how they compare.

Sasuke's first Ninjutsu, Heavenly Hand Power: Chidori is a ranged attack that sends several projectiles with a slight homing mechanic toward the opponent, and if any hit, Sasuke lands a Chidori up-close. Sasuke's Ultimate is also a ranged attack, making it easier to hit than other Ultimates that rely on close quarters.

3 Ashura Otsutsuki

Anti-Spam Countermeasures

Ashura in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections

Ashura Otsutsuki is one of the newest characters to fit among the Ultimate Ninja Storm roster and has easily risen to the top of the best Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections fighters of all time. Ashura, unlike his brother Indra, is less 'spammy' and more of an assertive ninja on the battlefield.

With that said Ashura is actually capable of defending against spam-reliant characters, such as Sarada Uchiha and Boro. That's mostly due to his Ninjutsu, making him very reliant on Chakra.

2 Naruto (Baryon Mode)

Lightning-fast & Exceptional Combos

Baryon Mode Naruto

Baryon Mode Naruto is a newer variant of Naruto that players are able to select in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. This version of Naruto has gone on to become the best one, in terms of competitive gameplay.

Naruto (Baryon Mode) moves extremely quickly in his various moves, including his basic ground combo which allows him to essentially teleport to the other side of the enemy mid-combo. Baryon Mode Naruto's Ninjutsu are also fantastic and are some of the best moves to be introduced into the franchise.

1 Indra Otsutsuki

Consistent Fighter With An Offense That's Difficult To Defend Against

Indra in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections

While Ashura is certainly a capable fighter, Indra Otsutsuki has climbed his way up competitive rankings and fan-made tier lists all around. Indra Otsutsuki is regarded by many as the most 'broken' and best character in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections.

Indra's Ninjutsu drains his Chakra in large amounts but is worth the damage and versatility that wraps around them. While his moveset is kin to Ashura's, the differences truly matter, as Indra's complete set of Ninjutsu, his Ultimate, and his basic moves all have towered over his brother.
