The release of Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections instantly allowed players to use well over a hundred different characters in the game, as well as check out various costumes and accessories they can equip onto any of their fighters. However, some of these cosmetic items are locked behind paywalls, in-game currency, and missions with specific requirements.

By raising the proficiency of a character, Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections players can unlock new items.

One of the best sets of costumes in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is the 20th Anniversary outfits that Naruto and Sasuke are able to wear. Both of these costumes showcase each rival in neat getups, complete with masks that represent their distinct chakras and power; Naruto's being Kurama and Sasuke's being his Susano. But players looking to get these outfits will run into an unfortunate brick wall that may never crumble.

How to Unlock the 20th Anniversary Costumes for Naruto and Sasuke

To get the 20th Anniversary Costumes for Sasuke and Naruto, players would have had to pre-order the game before the title was officially released on November 17th, 2023. Pre-ordering any of the variants of Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections allowed those players to instantly gain access to both ninjas' costumes. Naruto's 20th Anniversary costume can be found under Naruto Uzumaki (Tailed Beast Bomb), and Sasuke's 20th Anniversary outfit can be found under Sasuke Uchiha (Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan).

Both outfits won't require any Ryo (in-game currency) to be unlocked and will be able to be equipped to both fighters from the start. A better look at both different outfits and their four different colors can be located in 'Collections.' This section lets gamers get a better look at the 20th Anniversary outfits, which have four variants, which is notable, seeing as other costumes typically only have three.

Will the 20th Anniversary Costumes be Available in the Future?

Standard pre-order

As of right now, it's fairly foggy on the topic of whether the 20th Anniversary costumes for Naruto and Sasuke will be available in the future or not. In Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, the pre-order bonuses (Boruto and Sarada) weren't available for separate purchases, meaning they were locked away to pre-orders.

That was true until Road to Boruto DLC was released, allowing for Boruto and Sarada to be obtained. But, rather than being new characters and faces that are important to the anime/manga, the 20th Anniversary costumes are just that—costumes. Because of that, it's safe to say that, unfortunately, these outfits won't be available for players to obtain in the future.
