Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Tips & Tricks

Hold L1 + R1 while choosing a character at the selection screen. In Free Battle or Mission mode, hold L2 + R1 and press X when selecting a character.

The only characters who can do this are Sakura, Hinata, Shikamaru, and Kakashi.

To recover Chakra (energy), hold Down. You will be defenseless when recovering Chakra.

The easiest way to obtain the hidden scrolls is to complete the objective in practice mode. This will not work for the Kikyo castle stage, Zabuza's hideout stage, and the Great Naruto Bridge stage. Obtain these scrolls in two player free mode and have one of the players not move.
The Ramen Ichiraku stage: Strike all the lanterns on the lowest level of this stage untill they glow red and are about to break. Do not break them. If done correctly you will get the hidden scroll.
Hokage's Mountainside Images stage: Jump up and down on the treetop to the left of the center ring. After about ten jumps you will receive the hidden scroll.
Hero's Memorial Stone stage: Strike your enemy's support character five times to receive the hidden scroll.
Survival Exercise Ground stage: Destroy ten of the practice dummies appearing on the back plane to obtain the hidden scroll.
Look Out Tower stage: This is one of the hardest scrolls to obtain. To get the scroll, shatter the purple barrier that stops you from plane shifting. Then, go to the giant frog's head. You must jump from the frog's head to the snake's head without falling or touching the ground. The easiest way to do this is to jump forward then double jump at the last moment. Then, perform an air dash toward the snake's head. Then, return to the frog's head using the same move. All this must be done before the snake starts breathing fire. The moment you get back to the frog's head, you will receive the hidden scroll.
Chunin Exam Stadium stage: Run to the hole in the ground five times to obtain the hidden scroll. Make sure you wall-run out of the tunnel each time.
Kikyo Castle stage: Stand on the top tail tip of the fish statue in the upper-right hand corner of the back plane while the timer gauge ticks down for ten seconds.
Exercise Ground Forest Of Death stage: Attack the fish swimming in the stream three times to get the scroll.
Zabuza's Hideout stage: Stand on the building's upper most level and wait for three counts

When fighting at Zabuza's hideout, teleport to the top portion of the battlefield where the bed is located. Run left or right under the ropes. Jump onto the rope and run to the left if you chose the right rope; or to the right if you chose the left rope. When your oponent jumps on to the other side, attack him or her to their side of the rope. This will trap them between you and the tree. The easiest way to finish any of the missions is to play through the scenario mode of all the characters until you unlock Orochimaru.

Fight Sakura and use Sasuke or Kakashi's Sharingan special. Then, press Down(2), Circle to use Inner Sasuke or Inner Kakashi.

Use the Sharingan super move with either Sasuke or Kakashi while fighting Orochimaru or Zabuza. If you complete the move, Sasuke or Kakashi will have a sword (depending on which you are fighting).

When activating Sauske, (cursed marked) at the last part when Cursed Mark Sauske attacks with his lightning covered hand, look closely at his eyes. His eyes are sharengaurd. REMEMBER: Sharengaurd will not work on Curse Marked Sauske.
