Hello everyone,
 First of all, I'd like to apologize for the delay, and even for the time at which I'm releasing this update. I usually aim to release updates during peak player hours, but my sleep schedule's been kind of messed up lately, so I've been waking up pretty late.
 Naruto (S) and Sasuke (S) Reworks:
 As I mentioned in the last update, both reworks had been delayed and postponed for this update, the Major Balance.
 In fact, I was preparing to release both reworks in this update, but due to some indecision about the final design of both characters, we've decided to delay them once again.
 The good news is that they'll be released in a special event within an update focused entirely on them, different from this Major Balance, which includes a large list of changes and other characters that might take the spotlight in the META instead of them.
 Current Season:
 Also as mentioned in the last update, the Season reset was planned for this update, along with some new changes to the XP system targeted at competitive players (only those above level 36).
 However, unfortunately, we'll also be postponing the season reset to the next characters release.
 When will new characters be released?:
 Character releases and Major Balance updates are both considered 'major updates', as they bring a lot of changes to the game.
 Because of that, there will always be a gap of at least 20 days to a full month between one major update and another.
 This gap may be longer, but never shorter than 20 days. I believe it's extremely important to give players enough time to adapt to the game's current state before we move on to the next update.
 Even so, we'll still have some 'Mid Balance' updates during that period.
 New Custom Rank System (Titles):
 Soon we'll be introducing a 'Titles' system that will allow players to customize their 'Custom Rank' during matches.
 However, we'll be making a few adjustments to how it works in order to preserve the original 'Rank Hats'. From now on, you'll only be able to assign a 'Custom Hat' to one slot on your team. For example, you could have Itachi on your team and give him a custom Susanoo hat.
 This will also serve as an extra incentive for casual players who focus on completing missions, since we'll be adding new missions that unlock Titles.
 With that said, let's get into the Major Balance.

 Hello everyone,
 A new hotfix is here bringing some nerfs to characters that have been dominating the META.
 I'd also like to say that we'll soon have a Regular BU introducing some reworks for characters like Uzumaki Naruto (S) and Uchiha Sasuke (S). Naruto (S) will receive some additions and improvements to his skillset, while Sasuke (S) will get a full rework. We also plan to improve a few characters that have been forgotten and are quite weak compared to the rest, to make it easier to complete Missions that require them.
 Shinobi Alliance Gaara (S) (13101 matches (4.73%), 73.32% winrate):
 <ul>

 <ul>
 <li>Kankuro: Puppet Mastery: This skill now has a cooldown of 4, up 2 from 2.</li> 
 </ul>

 <ul>
 <li>Lightweight Rock Technique: This skill now lasts 3 turns, down 1 from 4.</li> 
 </ul>
 =================================================================
 May 9, 2025 - Hotfix:
 Hello everyone, last balance boosts were kind of messed up, so...

 <ul>
 <li>Poison Mist: Changes have been reverted.</li>
 <li>Prepared Needle Shot: Changes have been reverted + This skill now deals piercing damage, instead of regular damage.</li> 
 </ul>
 Mitarashi Anko (6136 matches (6.18%), 66.77% winrate):
 <ul>
 <li>Dual Pin: Changes have been reverted + This skill no longer ends when Anko is killed.</li> 
 </ul>
 =================================================================
 Hello everyone,
 First, I'd like to announce that new custom borders have been added to its section.
 For those who don't know, custom borders are one of the sections from Styles (Button) which you can find in your In-Game. There, you can choose and purchase a border to customize your profile, that way you'll be also Supporting us and the game as well!

 New Characters:
 <a target="_blank" href="/chars/white-snake-kabuto-(s)"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/5BT5OxV.png"/></a> 
 Following Orochimaru's death at the hands of Sasuke, Kabuto got access to his master's DNA, implanting it in his body and eventually gaining many freakish, snake-like features. In his new form, Kabuto allies himself with Tobi to wage war on the shinobi world, controlling the Edo Tensei forces from the shadows.
 <a target="_blank" href="/chars/edo-tensei-itachi-(s)"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Diw5QwE.png"/></a> 
 One of the five past Akatsuki members reanimated by Kabuto during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Itachi sees this as an opportunity to pursue his true goals and set things right with Naruto and Sasuke. Freeing himself from Kabuto's shackles, Itachi unleashes the full power of the Uchiha with his deathless body.
 <a target="_blank" href="/chars/uchiha-shisui-(s)"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/1VX4Blm.png"/></a> 
 A member of the prestigious Uchiha clan, and the best friend of Uchiha Itachi; Shisui is a highly trained ninja that is utterly devoted to Konoha. Shisui is one of the few known ninjas capable of using one the most powerful genjutsu: Koto Amatsukami.
 <a target="_blank" href="/chars/edo-tensei-yota-(s)"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/CgXEKRN.png"/></a> 
 A young child from a nomadic clan, Yota died at an early age, but was revived through Edo Tensei by Orochimaru and kept alive for years as a test subject. A curious, naïve, and sensitive boy, Yota can manipulate the weather around himself, and is deployed by Kabuto to fight in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
 <a target="_blank" href="/chars/shinobi-alliance-gaara-(s)"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/LgN8ClX.png"/></a> 
 Despite his youth and inexperience, the young Kazekage is made Commander-in-Chief of the Shinobi Alliance at the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Fearlessly carrying this great responsibility, Gaara is ready to prove himself to the world, empowered by the loving spirit of his mother hidden within his sand.
 <a target="_blank" href="/chars/shinobi-alliance-temari-(s)"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/gCW8OWG.png"/></a> 
 At the outset of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Temari is placed in the Fourth Division. Although Gaara is officially in command of the division and Shikamaru is in Gaara's proxy, Temari is the one who leads the division on the battlefield, including personally commanding the division's Wind Release combat unit.
 <a target="_blank" href="/chars/shinobi-alliance-kankuro-(s)"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/mwNUU2i.png"/></a> 
 During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kankurou is put in charge of the Surprise Attack Division, leading his squad as a guerrilla unit. Heading into the war, Kankurou greatly expanded his arsenal, adding the puppets of Sasori and his parents, and will fight using all his weapons in perfect tandem with each other.
 <a target="_blank" href="/chars/uzuki-yugao"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/mCMFKuP.png"/></a> 
 A member of Konoha's Anbu faction, Yugao was the lover of Gekkou Hayate before his untimely death, and is a hard-working, dedicated, and tender person. Yugao fights using powerful genjutsu-enhanced swordsmanship, and is also proficient in the use of sealing techniques to disable her enemies.

Hello, everyone! The time has finally come to release this Major Balance 1.3.0, and I believe it marks a step forward in the history of Naruto Arena Classic.
 Unfortunately, I believe this will be the last time the characters on the first page will be changed (except for those not mentioned on this list). However, I'm confident that with these adjustments, many new options will now be available for beginner players, as well as for higher-level players who aren't yet fully accustomed to the newer characters.
 My goal was to make each character worth picking, rather than just being another outdated starter option for your initial gameplay.
 And yes, we're aware that some characters may require a few hotfixes soon, but I think that's a risk worth taking.
 Also, we'll soon have new missions to unlock custom borders so that players who have already completed all existing missions will have new reasons to keep playing beyond the Ladder. Keep in mind that custom border missions cannot be PURCHASED and you'll have to complete them manually. (And I highly recommend you to complete these missions because, in the near future, I plan to release special characters that also won't be available for purchase, which means you'll need to complete these special border missions, okay?)
 More details about today's update will be shared on our official Discord.
