Yet another legendary ninja from the "Naruto Shippuden" anime is rumored to make an appearance in the already large roster of "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4."
According to Geek Snack, Izuna Uchiha might be the said legendary ninja. The rumor of Izuna's inclusion started when a fan asked about his possible inclusion in the game to the Official Naruto Video Games Twitter account. The answer given was vague, with the representative stating that he cannot answer the question at this point in time.
The response given sparked rumors anew with regard the inclusion of the legendary Uchiha ninja since previous questions for other characters, such as Mecha Naruto, were answered and debunked right away. So, gamers are really considering that Izuna will be in the next game.
Meanwhile, it would make a lot of sense for Izuna to be in "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" as he was a pivotal character in the story and has a big rivalry with Tobirama Senju.
For those unaware on who Izuna Uchiha is, he is the younger brother of one of the show's main villain, Madara Uchiha. During the early days of the Uchiha clan, while they were at war with the Senju Clan, Izuna was considered as one of the best shinobis of the Uchihas, rivaled only by his older brother, Madara. During the First Ninja War, Izuna was seen as a calm and devoted ninja. He was ordered by his father to find and kill the last of the Senju brothers to end the First Ninja War.
Izuna, unfortunately, was mortally wounded by the younger Senju brother, who prompted the former to not to trust the enemies' intents of peace - a belief that made Madara continue the war. Izuna's Mangenkyo Sharingan was given to his older brother before his death to complete Madara's Enternal Mangenkyo Sharingan.
While the rumor for the younger Uchiha brother to be included in the game continues, screenshots of the game have already been released, showing off other characters. A new version of Kakashi has been shown. This version is called Susanoo Kakashi, with him having the power of two different Sharingans. Naruto's son, Boruto, has also been shown via screenshots.
Currently, "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" is in production as the fall 2015 release date has been pushed back to February 2016. The game is going to be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
