March Balance + Rework
Icon Sunday, March 16, 2025 at 19:57 by Naruto

Hello everyone,

Just a heads up, due to a dispute with Takamaru, we’ll need to rework Gaara again in this patch. While we can’t meet all of his requests, this is the best we can do for now. This will be the last patch where balance changes will go past 10. In upcoming balance updates, we’ll be focusing on nerfing problematic characters like Female Path, Kakashi and others.

Reworked Characters

Kakuzu (S)

REWORKED

A missing-nin of mysterious talents and a member of Akatsuki, Kakuzu(S) is certainly older than he appears. He seems to only be concerned with money and the bounties which provide him with it.

Chiyo (S)

REWORKED

The grandmother of Sasori(s) and elder ninja of the Sand Village. Chiyo is a well known and accomplished puppet master and builder.

Gaara

REWORKED

Gaara has the demon Shukaku within him, which enables him to use sand for fighting. This sand can either form an ultimate defence or kill an opponent instantly.

Cursed Seal Juugo (S)

REWORKED

Cursed Seal Juugo (S) is fully transformed and no longer recognizable. Becoming a psychotic lunatic Juugo is able to maintain absurd amounts of chakra making him nearly impossible to defeat.
