NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER has been updated to version 2.72, according to Bandai Namco’s patch notes published on November 12, 2026. The update changes attacks and techniques across the game’s combat types, while the notes announce Kabuto Yakushi (Sage Mode) as an upcoming Season Pass 10 master.
Among the changes, Multiple Striking Shadow Snake has a shorter cooldown, but its poison damage lasts half as long. The notes also add a restriction on carrying the opposing flag while Tailed Beast State: Nine Tails is active.
Deidara and Konan change weapons
Deidara’s strong attack now uses explosive clay instead of kunai. Konan’s light and strong attacks replace kunai with paper shuriken. Bandai Namco has also adjusted the damage and enemy hit reactions for these attacks.
Body Activation, a summoned animal substitution ninjutsu, lasts 10 seconds instead of 5. For the Attack type, Dynamic Entry’s cooldown falls from 17 to 14 seconds, while Boruto Strike deals approximately 22% more damage.
Technique changes across combat types
For Ranged players, Multiple Striking Shadow Snake’s cooldown drops from 19 to 13 seconds, while its poison damage duration falls from 10 to 5 seconds. Its activation animation is 20% faster, and other actions can cancel the technique after activation.
For Defense, Partial Expansion Jutsu gains an additional hit and approximately 7% more damage. Hidden Mist Jutsu now automatically activates the player’s substitution jutsu while its effect is active, but its secret technique gauge cost rises by approximately 29%.
The Defense-type ninja tool Chili Pepper Pill also changes: its attack power bonus decreases by approximately 33%, and its health reduction decreases by approximately 37%. For the Heal type, Murderous Bone Ash now fires an additional bone.
Nine Tails restricts flag carrying
In Flag Battle, activating Tailed Beast State: Nine Tails makes the user drop the opposing team’s flag. The player also cannot pick it up while the technique remains active, making the timing of its activation relevant when carrying the flag.
Sage Mode Kabuto announced for Season Pass 10
Kabuto Yakushi (Sage Mode) is the third master in Season Pass 10 and the character featured in Master Character Training Pack #50. Bandai Namco says all players will be able to use him as a playable character when he releases; the notes do not give a release date.
Season Pass 10 includes Master Character Training Packs #48 through #51 and special training with four masters. It also comes with the bonus secret technique “Majestic Attire: Susano'o” for Attack and Defense types. The announcement of access to Kabuto as a playable character does not specify the conditions for the pack’s other content.
