Happy 3rd Anniversary everyone;out with the third anniversary comes the new ninja Izuna!.

50 fragments of him can be obtained by daily sign in, hopefully the rest 30 fragments c*so be farmed from other events.

Let's look at his talents-

Pros- Secret jutsu user, swordsman, uchiha, so he can fit in a large variety of teams

EDIT- Izuna is NOT a konoha unit

Permanent 30% ninjutsu buff for uchiha members which allow him to be used as a p1 carry or a support

Standard that scales critical (not sure if it is stackable)

Sleep causing passive before first action of a round. (can be useful in causing interruption or triggering dodges)

Cons-

His mystery is a simple one which attacks a single team, but it has decent damage.

No super armor or natural immunity or dodge

Overall, he is best used as a p1 or p2 ninja in uchiha teams(that goes without any explanation tbh) and is best used for fire main or lightning main.

Let's look at some lineups now-

1) Secret Jutsu ninja team

Edo itachi being the god tier support, provides tankiness vs ninjutsu, mirror, allows for preservation of fire main's secret jutsu buff by his mystery.

Fire main's buff allows for more damage and mystery reset.

Skillbroken Hashirama gives a prompt barrier, chakra drain, cooldown increasing chase

Shisui could also work as a good p4 ninja

If you want more tankiness, then p4 could be chunin shikamaru with his skillbreaks or summer ino

2) Anbu Itachi Support team

Izuna as the main damage dealer,

Fire main for the interrupt and buff allowing reset on izuna

Anbu itachi for debuff clear and extra damage by triggering izuna's hard hitting standard again, (itachi's 30 hit chase is also quite strong)

Kurenai being the evergreen support she is and a chakra siphoner. (Not to forget some extra crowd control and the mirror).

Using Lightning main with root is also an option, but since izuna's mystery is pure ninjutsu, fire main is a much better option than lightning main, else you could use lightning main and replace kurenai with founder madara

3) Uchiha Support Izuna-

Many possible variations, following are a few

(A) Slightly outdated but still legendary susanoo itachi team

(B) GNW Madara p1 version with spammable mysteries, c*so use secret jutsu buff, but the team will be vulnerable to 5k madaras, hans, etc.

(C) Skillbroken Susanoo Sasuke p1 version- Susanoo sasuke is much better for team battles, but this lineup could work in 1v1 too.

(D) Miscellaneous Teams-

(i) A heavily buffed team with lots of ignition and poison damage

(ii) Another secret jutsu user team, but one that has a lot of cooldown manipulation. This team will be highly resourceful once we get chunin shikamaru's Y skill trials

That's all folks, feel free to comment your views on the lineups. (Preferably after trying them, cuz what appears on paper isn't always what it is in practicality). Have fun experimenting with variations.
