Adding to a player’s wealth of options in theNarutogame are Jutsu Cards that establish a character’s skillset in the game, giving players more room for customization. And withAssist Cardsallowing characters to provide the occasional buff to their allies, just whichAssist Cards work best for a player’s ideal team build?
10Shizune And Tonton (Shizune)
WhileShizuneis largely present in Tsunade’s life as her ever-dependable secretary, she is in fact one ofthe Fifth Hokage’s protegesand serves as one of the best Medical-nin in the world. This is reflected inNinja Voltagegameplay throughShizune And Tonton, an Assist Card that shows Shizune’s love for their pet pig, Tonton.
When activated, Shizune and Tonton releases God Palm Jutsu, a straightforward debuff-removal technique. Thanks to this move, Shizune not only removes all ailments from allies, but also makes them temporarily immune from them. This is an accessible technique, especially during the middle stages of the game where damage isn’t purely the basis of a winning team.
9My True Power Lies In The Will Of Fire! (Tsunade)
One of the most notable traits ofTsunadeisn’t simply her strength, but its source - the Strength of a Hundred Seals technique. Represented by the mark on her forehead, it’s said that Tsunade continuously stores concentrated chakra there in order to maintain her youthfulness. Not only that, but releasing the Seal allows marks to manifest all over her body, imbuing her with incredible physical powerbeyond anyNarutoweaponand even almost overpowered healing abilities.
This is manifested in theNinja Voltagegame throughMy True Power Lies In The Will Of Fire!Assist Card. When activated, Tsunade also launches her Ninja Art: Mitonic Regeneration, which in the game not only restores all of Tsunade’s HP but also makes her invincible or a time, on top of boosting her overall attack power.
8The Sixth Hokage’s True Strength! (Kakashi Hatake, Sixth Hokage)
Despite Naruto’s “inevitable” tenure as Seventh Hokage after the series conclusion, his mentor Kakashi Hatake remains the one appointed as Sixth Hokage. And while Kakashi is best known for his possession of a Sharingan, his loss of the Uchiha dojutsu doesn’t make him no slouch. Such was his prodigious nature that he’s able to transform the unstable Chidori into his signature technique, Purple Lightning, capable of besting evenotherNarutoswordsmen.
InNinja Voltagegameplay, this manifests throughKakashi Hatake (Sixth Hokage)and hisThe Sixth Hokage’s True Strength!Assist Card. When activated, this unleashes Purple Lightning, a ground strike that causes massive damage that paralyzes enemies. Not only that, this ability also boosts the attack of all allies on the floor. Moreover, this even makes Kakashi invincible, boosting his overall survivability.
7Rampaging Tailed Beast Threat (Kaguya Otsutsuki)
Revealed in the latter stages of theNarutofranchise as the progenitor of all Chakra in the world,Kaguya Otsutsukieventually becomes the main villain of the series as she aims to rid the world of all life after transforming everything into a huge Chakra Tree. Being the originator of all Chakra, Kaguya Otsutsuki easily makes her mastery over Ninshu - the progenitor of Ninjutsu - apparent in her vast capabilities.

InNinja Voltage, this is easily demonstrated in herRampaging Tailed Beast ThreatAssist Card, which highlights her vast control over the massive Chakra Beasts. When activated, this card activates the Final Truth-Seeking Orbs, an amalgamation of the Tailed Beasts that transforms into a giant bomb that deals massive damage. This is on top of benefits such as recovering the user’s CP as well as vastly decreasing the CP of opponents.
6I’ll Bring Them Together (Rin Nohara)
Although a minor character in theNarutofranchise,Rin Noharawas instrumental in the lives of Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha in being both their first loves and the catalyst in the activation of their Mangekyo Sharingans. Prior to her death, Rin is a skilled Medical Ninja, withNinja Voltagehighlighting this by making her one of the best Support Characters out there. Key to this distinction is her best Assist Card,I’ll Bring Them Together.
When activated, Rin releases an AOE burst that affects all her allies on the same floor. Aside from healing a set amount of HP, she also makes them invincible for a particular duration. The latter effect is what makes this ability arguably overpowered, as the right team with invincibility can have the time they need to recuperate against difficult opponents or execute a deadly counter.
5I’m Not Running Away Anymore! (Sakura Haruno, Great Ninja War)
When Sasuke finally rejoins Naruto and Sakura in the Great Ninja War, the two (2) ask Sakura tostand back while they fight Madara Uchiha. To Sakura’s irritation, she proves just how strong she’s gotten - to the point that everyone could acknowledge her belonging to the likes of overpowered Naruto and Sasuke. This manifests inNinja VoltagethroughSakura Haruno (Great Ninja War)and herI’m Not Running Away Anymore!Assist Card.
Unlike other more overpowered Assist Cards, this one manifests the more straightforward 100 Healings: Cherry Blossom Glory. This begins with an AOE attack that also recovers Sakura’s CP. More importantly, this boosts the attack and critical rate of all allies within the same floor, as well as halving their Ninjutsu cooldowns and providing much-needed healing.
4Fifth Hokage’s Fist! (Tsunade)
Aside from being a rather unfortunate gambler,Tsunadeis known for hermastery of the Strength of a Hundred Seal, giving her massive physical power on top of her prowess as the proponent of Medical Ninjutsu. InNinja Voltage, this is reflected in Tsunade being the pinnacle of the healing tank, with theFifth Hokage’s Fist!Assist Card being one of the best self-sustains in the game.

When activated, Fifth Hokage’s Fist! triggers the Paradise Pure Land technique, which has Tsunade create a shockwave of massive damage that also paralyzes and slows the movement of all enemies. Not only that, this move causes Tsunade to become invincible for a set time, with full upgrades drastically lengthening the time of her invincibility.
3The Power Of 100 Healings Unleashed! (Sakura Haruno, Great Ninja War)
Despite being a damsel in distress in the first half of theNarutostory, Sakura Haruno near the end of the story proved she’s grown to be just as capable as her companions Naruto and Sasuke, and even otherJonin-ranked characters. As reflected in the Great Ninja War, Sakura is able to manifest the same 100 Healings Technique as her master Tsunade, endowing her with massive strength and endurance that allows her to strike hits to the likes of the Ten-Tails-empowered Madara Uchiha. InNinja Voltage, this manifests inSakura Haruno (Great Ninja War), whereThe Power of 100 Healings Unleashed!Assist Card proves offense can be the best defense.
When activated, this card releases the 100 Healings - Cherry Blossom Burst: Boundary Jutsu. Sakura strikes the ground and deals massive AOE damage on top of enemy defense reduction. Where this ability reaches overpowered levels is its other benefits, such as boosting the attack and critical hit rate of all allies on the same floor on top of Annihilation, Impact, Lunge, Manipulate, Normal, and Release resistances. Not only that, this ability even gives the team a bit of invincibility for a time, while halving Sakura’s Ninjutsu cooldowns.
2Unbreakable Bond! (Naruto, Kurama Link Mode)
Love is truly the strongest force in theNarutoseries, and the tandem of Hinata Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki is easily one of the best created in shonen history. Despite Hinata’s meek nature and Naruto’s pranking streak, the both of them can harmonize their personalities, and sometimes quite literally in combat. This is reflected inNinja VoltagethroughNaruto (Kurama Link Mode), where hisenhanced Nine-Tails chakracan endow Hinata with more than enough firepower to contend with most foes.
This form of Naruto manifests their love withUnbreakable Bond!, an Assist Card that activates the Rasen Twin Lion Fists. The technique calls forth Hinata Hyuga to unleash her Twin Lion Fists with Naruto’s Rasengan, dealing massive damage to opponents. What makes this move overpowered is its effects, as not only does it make allies temporarily invincible, but they also gain immunity from status effects. Moreover, the ability may even grant additional Annihilation, Impact, Lunge, Manipulate, Normal, and Release resistances.
1Terror! The Red-Hot Habanero! (Kushina Uzumaki)
One of the most tragic love stories inNarutobelonged toKushina Uzumakiand Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, in thatit took their sacrifice to protect the infant Naruto from the rampage of the Nine-Tailsin the beginning of the series. However, Kushina and Minato had quite the budding romance in their adulthood, with Minato being the calmer half of the “habanero” that is Kushina.
TheNinja Voltagegame reflects this in Kushina’s dedicated Assist Card,Terror! The Red-Hot Habanero!, which releases the Red-Hot Habanero technique when activated. Throughout the duration of the technique, Kushina not only deals massive damage but also inflicts seal on opponents on top of damage over time. As a plus, Kushina also grants invincibility to all allies as well as a huge boost in attack and critical hit rate. Moreover, everyone gets a massive boost in Annihilation, Impact, Lunge, Normal, Manipulate, and Release resistances.
