Mitsuki, the son of Orochimaru, will be part of the highly anticipated "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4: Road to Boruto" downloadable content (DLC) pack as the third playable character.
This piece of information was revealed in a new magazine scan obtained by Saiyan Island. There were a couple of screenshots featuring Mitsuki in action.
First, he can be seen battling Boruto Uzumaki in the "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" DLC using his signature Soft Physique Modification, where he stretches his arms and uses them as weapons.
Another screenshot from the Road to Boruto DLC shows Mitsuki taking on Sarada Uchiha. It is unclear what technique is being shown there, though.
However, fans know that the Road to Boruto character has a killer Sage Transformation that allows him to summon snake-shaped chakra that helps his attacks and allows him to gain speed.
It is unclear if the "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" DLC will include this, though. The very idea of Mitsuki gracing the fighting game is already eliciting great excitement.
Mitsuki, being a clone created by Orochimaru, is touted to be genetically faultless and is thought to be stronger than his "parent." Having him in the game will definitely bring change.
Mitsuki has appeared in both the "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" and the manga centered on Naruto's son, which is why his inclusion in the Road to Boruto DLC for "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" was not a complete shock, but was actually expected.
Meanwhile, the scan also revealed that Boruto will get a new lightning-style jutsu and a new combo via the DLC. At the moment, his defining move is the traditional Rasengan.
The "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" DLC was also the subject of a short commercial that found its way online. There, Boruto was seen challenging his father, battling Sarada, and exploring Hidden Leaf Village.
Apart from new playable characters and moves, the Road to Boruto DLC will also include an updated adventure mode and story mode inspired by "Boruto: Naruto the Movie."
The "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" Road to Boruto DLC will be released on Feb. 3, 2017 in the West on all platforms. On the other hand, it will launch on Feb. 2, 2017 in Japan for the PlayStation 4.
