Naruto RPG - Uketsugareshi Hi no Ishi (Japan)

Released exclusively in Japan in 2004 by publisher Tomy, Naruto RPG: Uketsugareshi Hi no Ishi (translated as Naruto RPG: The Inherited Will of Fire) is a standout Naruto franchise entry built specifically for the Game Boy Advance. Unlike most Naruto GBA titles of the era that focused on fast-paced 2D fighting, this entry leans into full turn-based role-playing game design, delivering a sprawling story that expands on the beloved lore of Masashi Kishimoto’s ninja franchise. The game is set in the period between the original Chunin Exams arc and the start of Naruto Shippuden, weaving an original story centered on the core theme of Konoha’s Will of Fire, the legacy of loyalty and courage passed down between generations of ninja. Players start their journey as Naruto Uzumaki, the outcast jinchuriki with a dream of becoming Hokage, and gradually unlock a roster of over 15 playable ninja from Konoha, including Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Kakashi Hatake, Shikamaru Nara, Rock Lee, and Neji H

Game Guide

Naruto RPG: Uketsugareshi Hi no Ishi’s turn-based combat and open exploration can feel tricky for new players, especially if you’re enjoying a fan-translated version for the first time. Here are our top tips to master the game and experience its full story. First, prioritize leveling up your entire roster early. While it’s tempting to keep Naruto as your main damage dealer at all times, many late-game dungeons and boss fights require specific jutsu types to clear obstacles and win. For example, Shikamaru’s Shadow Bind jutsu is invaluable for stopping powerful boss enemies from attacking for multiple turns, while Sakura’s high-level healing jutsu will keep your entire party alive through long dungeon crawls without wasting dozens of expensive healing items. Make sure to rotate your party through active combat to earn experience evenly, instead of leaving lower-level characters on the bench. Second, manage your chakra efficiently. Every jutsu uses chakra, and chakra does not fully restore after every random fight like health does in many casual RPGs. Always carry at least 5 chakra-restoring items with you when entering a new dungeon, and save your high-cost ultimate jutsu like Naruto’s Rasengan for boss fights only, not regular enemy encounters. When exploring, don’t skip any side quests. Many side quests unlock unique jutsu, rare equipment, and bonus character interactions that expand on Naruto lore, and they also grant huge amounts of experience that make leveling up much faster than grinding random enemies. For boss fights, always adjust your party to match the boss’s weaknesses: fire-style jutsu beat wood-aligned enemies, while lightning jutsu are super effective against armor-heavy opponents. Finally, save often: the game has no autosave, so save every time you return to Konoha to avoid losing progress.
