Some of you guys may know what a "Nuzlocke Challenge" is. It's when someone decides to *e up their game of Pokémon by adding extra rules and guidelines for them to follow.

So, I thought... why not try making something similar with this game?

And as such, the "Naruto Online Plot Challenge" was born.

At its core, the challenge is a simple way to up the difficulty of the first 50 or so levels that people often just speed through like nothing. The key rule here is this: for the first 50 levels, only upgrade the star level of a ninja if it aligns with the story.

This means no upgrading any of the Konoha 12, besides Naruto and Sasuke, to 2-stars until you get to Shippuden, which is at level 50. For Sasuke, he should be upgraded to 2 stars once the "Sasuke Retrieval Arc" begins (on the instance "Choji's Determination").

As for Naruto, you have two choices: upgrade him to 2 stars after completing the instance "Rasengan", or upgrade him to 2 stars immediately, but never use his Mystery until you pass the instance "Rasengan".

That's all there is to it. Of course, if you want, you can add some of the "extra" rules for an added twist.

Extra Rules:
- On the instance "Choji's Determination", you must use Choji on your team. Same goes with Neji in "Neji's Crisis", Kiba and Kankuro in "Battle Ukon Sakon", Temari and Shikamaru in "Tayuya's Interception", and Gaara and Rock Lee in "Kimimaro Appears" and "The Final Battle".
- You may not proceed in the Plot Instance past level 50 if you do not have all of the Konoha 12 at least at 2 stars, and Kankuro, Temari, Naruto, and Sasuke at at least 3 stars.
- Try *ing exactly to the plot. When playing a certain scene, only use the characters that appeared in the anime. Is your next instance "Unarmed"? Try using only Sasuke and Naruto for that one.
- If a character dies in the story, such as Haku, Zabuza, Asuma et cetera, you can never use them again after you complete the Plot Instance where they die.
- Alternatively, if one of your ninja is killed in battle, they are considered dead and you can never use them again. The obvious exceptions include characters like Hidan, Orochimaru, the Edo Tensei characters etc.

Any thoughts on this?

It would be interesting for sure. Would need to live stream every time to ensure that no one is going against it.

The death rule... is it ANY battle or just plot instance?
Because if it's ANY, then some stuff are kinda impossible, like survival and ninja exam.

I mean the rules are not that difficult if you just hold off doing plot instance otherwise, just get to like 10k power as a lv 30 or something and brute force everything.

I think when he mean't by "going along the story" only relates to plot instances. Frankly, I think the only people that would try this are streamers since it adds more content they can do besides updates and them participating in events such as GNW, Sage, Matsuri (which I find kind of boring).

Dosu...you have such a great mind! Can I swap brains with you?

This sounds pretty epic, dope and awesome! But, shouldn't this be in the Suggestions tab in Customer Service? Or did you post it here to be noticed and get exposure? Either way, this looks awesome in practice. Hopefully, we'll get this.

Cool idea. It /is/ called plot instances, so playing it like a story mode would be interesting.

Well it'd definitely add a twist. That second permadeath rule looks really scary, especially for squishy characters like Sasuke. If people seriously play like that, I bet all the immortals would get a lot more use than they do now.

I hadn't really thought about it being seriously implemented in game. I had originally viewed it as a extra set of regulations that people could place on themselves by choice.

Though that got me thinking... how much would things change if there were specific servers that forced players to follow the base rule of this game mode?

That perma death thing is challenging, remember those hard levels that took a bunch of trial and errors to do? (Naruto's Crisis, Maiden's Genjutsu) Those are gonna be a big pain.

This is some extra *y good stuff

My only concern is how to get smol Gaara without recharging, spending seals on seal treasure, and maybe not getting lucky in survival? I mean, if I go with this mindset, I'll go with the thought that I'm "spending money to buy a person", which would be exactly what I'd be doing... Oh my god, I have to overcomplicate everything :L

I honestly overlooked that. Thanks for pointing that out.

As a newbie, for some reason I thought that Gaara was super good, but didn't want to pay. So I ended up buying his frags from Black Market every chance I got - and spent a fair amount of coupons too actually. I was able to get Gaara this way around level 50 or so, but that's too late since the Plot Instance that requires him is level 48(?). Even if it wasn't, the black market is different now so the chance of him showing up is probably less.

I think the best option there would to make Gaara optional, unless I overlooked some easy/quick f2p way to get him.

It's pretty easy if you do water and grab kabuto/hinata asap to do survival. I managed to clear all 12 survival trial with no losses the day I unlocked the feature when I made my UK character. The first time something died on that character is on the final boss fight for simulation battle (lvl 58 plot instance), because sai's summons deal more dmg than 9tails for some reason in that fight.

For plot.. nothing is stopping you from level freezing a few days to get way overlpowered and plow through the content until you reach scout deadwood forest blue circle in the mid 60s.

  • That sounds pretty dope.
The most important challenge Main Plot events such as that of the Practice or Training.

The instance where KANKURO battles Ukon and Sakon, If character dies in the story then u cannot use them

after U finish plot challenge should they die. RECRUIT is useless after all, fragments.?

If you're gonna lose your ninja you can retreat before that happens right? Really like this idea though, almost makes me wanna try it out on a new server or something. This post was last edited by PoisonScrub at 2017-7-15 20:56

For the coupons you get for recruiting ninja, maybe?

Though I think I need to reiterate that while the death rule has potential to make things interesting, it is ultimately optional. (but hey, so is the rest of this)

That's what I had in mind, but of course it's ultimately your choice.

I was trying to go for flexibility, so if anyone legitimately wanted to do this, they could set it up with a decent amount of freedom of choice.

I actually tried keeping my ninjas' star levels following the plot... that is, until I started Arena and lost every single match cause my Sakura and Sasuke were 1 star instead of 2.

Nice idea though.
