A new Jump scan of CyberConnect2‘s upcoming Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 has confirmed that the game will pick up on where the first game lacked: online play. Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm didn’t feature any online play, but its sequel corrects that forsaken feature.
The scan also confirms that partners Kazuku and Hidan will be somehow involved in the game. It can be seen below (click to embiggen).
