"Should we take this opportunity to add a new story with new characters and allow players to create their own stories in the Naruto universe?"
"Nah, let's just use the exact plot of the anime and throw in a random extra character who adds literally nothing to the story. It'll be fine."
Everyone's complaining that it's too easy, but I think it's a good thing. It's nice to have a break from more difficult games. You get that feeling of accomplishment without all the stress. It's the kind of game you play after spending hours failing to get an impossible badge.
SPOILER:
After achieving the good ending, I went back to do the bad one. Watching him die was so hard. He didn't even fight back. Even in such a pixelated game, seeing him get bloodier and bloodier made me feel like a terrible person. Amazing game.
In other news, today a child destroyed the moon, causing massive tsunamis and generally ruining everyone's day. On the bright side, there are no more werewolves.
