Naruto is in Fortnite now — saying that aloud is enough to make anyone question reality. For fans of the spiky-haired ninja, they probably wish it was all just part of a simulation. Alas, it’s not.
It’s hard to believe that the title character of one of the most popular anime of all time now stands shoulder to shoulder with Ariana Grande, Spider-Man, Jinx, Master Chief, Superman and a Xenomorph. I, for one, want a live reaction of Ridley Scott bearing witness to his alien getting obliterated by the Seventh Hokage. Can’t be any worse than Prometheus, at least.
Check out the official trailer for Fortnite x Naruto Shippuden below.

Naruto was a formative anime for an entire generation, so it’s no surprise that reactions to characters from the series in Fortnite has been, um, interesting. From Sasuke dancing along to Gangnam Style to Naruto himself hunting with a shotgun, folks sure are getting a kick out of this crossover. Or they’re just coping by way of memes. Who’s to say really!
Take a look at some of the funnier reactions for yourself below.
