Fans of the Naruto franchise can look to Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker as a means to create their dream ninja, and the game’s assortment of activities ensures there’s a Trophy or Achievement to earn for every accomplishment. As ninjas of Konoha, players of Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker can ascend the ranks of the shinobi by finishing various missions and leveling up their skills while at the same time maintaining a Naruto aesthetic. These tie in well to the Trophy system of the game that heavily relies on a player’s habits and how they pursue existing game modes.
Upon completing everything and earning all existing Achievements, players earn the much-desired “Perfect Ninja” Trophy that practically states they have accomplished 100-percent of the title. And for players of Shinobi Striker who want the same accolade, just what are the awards the game offers and how can their ninjas acquire these Trophies as soon as possible?
Perfect Ninja
Players and Naruto fans who love Shinobi Striker and completed all the achievements below will earn the Perfect Ninja Achievement. The most ideal approach to attain all the Achievements across all Stages in no particular order is to create a Ninja with a focus on AOE and DPS, as well as an objective of completing at least 1,000 PVE-oriented matches. This strategy ensures players are well-equipped with powerful Naruto attacks on the get-go, allowing them to brute-force their way into victories against most mobs with only a few room for mix-matching techniques when fighting tough bosses. While this may not immediately fulfill all of the Achievements in one go, it unlocks quite a lot of objectives and leave players with few left over.
Part 1: VR Missions For The PVE
Much of the Stage 1 Achievements in the Naruto game are related to VR Missions, or PVE stages in both single-player and multiplayer setups that involve eliminating multiple enemies and even defeating bosses at a time. In turn, Achievements here also involve defeating a certain number of enemies across the mode as well as completing specific stages.
Given the AOE focus of these missions, using Ranged Classes and even Attack Classes should help players do more than enough damage to finish missions quickly. Likewise, Defense Classes are ideal for defending objectives against multiple waves of enemies.
- Guardian of the Battlefield (Win 10 Base Matches): The Base Matches mode of the Naruto title is much closer to a traditional capture the flag mode. Players need to control at least two of three bases present in the map, with a longer duration of control providing more points for the team.
- Elite Squad (Win 10 Combat Battles): Given how Shinobi Striker Combat Battles are the equivalent of a team deathmatch, players simply need to win matches by eliminating all 10 lives of the other team.
- Exam Passed! (Complete 10 Flag Battles): The Flag Battles of Shinobi Striker are generic capture the flag matches, except with the twist of having a flag carrier instead of a stationary flag. On that note, players are advised to have an evenly-mixed team with Attack, Defense, and Heal Classes in order to accommodate most situations.
- Found a Rare… Thing? (Complete the VR Mission - Kakashi’s Special Mission): This is a part of the tutorial segment of Shinobi Striker. Players have to help Kakashi read pages of a manuscript as he acquires them throughout Konoha.
- Teamwork! (Complete the VR Mission - Bell-Stealing Exercise): When players get this mission from Sakura, they’re tasked to fight Kakashi in a team fight. Doing so will not only unlock this Achievement but also let players change their classes.
- Youth Personified! (Complete the VR Mission - Free Practice of Passionate Youth!): After completing Sakura’s VR Missions, players can proceed with Rock Lee’s. This first mission needs players to defeat a lot of enemies on the way to Shikamaru.
- Fake Sleeper (Complete the VR Mission - Gamabunta in Peril!): After completing Lee’s missions, players can go to Gaara to start his questline in the Naruto video game. This first mission involves protecting the frog Gamabunta from various enemies.
- Inhering the Will of the Flame (Complete the VR Mission - Destruction of the Leaf): Completing Gaara’s questline will unlock Boruto Uzumaki’s own series of VR Missions. This first mission deals with defeating various teams of enemy ninja and preventing them from destroying the village.
- One Fell Swoop (Complete the VR Mission: A Tense Pursuit): Players need to go to Shikamaru after completing Boruto’s questline. This mission needs players to defeat various ninja alongside Choji and Shikamaru.
- After-Party (Complete the VR Mission: Welcome to My Art Exhibit): Players can go to Choji after finishing the rest of Gaara’s missions to unlock this questline. The mission tasks players to fight Deidara and his clay monsters.
- The Snake’s Skin (Complete the VR Mission: Hidden Leaf Forest Night Terrors): Players who finish Choji’s questline can go to Sai and complete his set of VR Missions, with this first task involving a fight with Kabuto.
- Overcoming Pain (Complete the VR Mission: Storming the Akatsuki Fortress): Talking to Mitsuki after completing Sai’s missions will trigger his questline. This involves a fight with Konan and Pain after gathering intel on the Akatsuki, the most dangerous organization in Naruto.
- Catching the Monster Fish (Complete the VR Mission: The Inescapable Water Prison): Completing Mitsuki’s missions will unlock Tenten’s VR Mission questline. This first mission involves rescuing Rock Lee by defeating multiple enemies.
- Women in Love are Strong! (Complete the VR Mission: Byakugan): After finishing Tenten’s questline, Hinata unlocks the next series of quests. Her first mission involves escorting Hinata in Ame while they’re on the lookout for the missing Naruto.
- It’s A Rap (Complete the VR Mission: Checka-Checka-Check It Out!): Sarada’s VR Missions become unlockable after finishing Hinata’s. Her first mission involves fighting Naruto clones while gathering animal specimens.
- Sharingan Defeated! (Complete the VR Mission: Uchiha Power): Sasuke becomes the next source of VR Missions after finishing Sarada’s set. The first mission involves a battle with both Itachi and Sasuke.
- Another Rival (Complete the VR Mission: It’s Training Time): Naruto becomes the final source of VR Missions. After finishing Sasuke’s questline, this mission involves fighting both Naruto and Kurama.
- Secret Technique Unleashed (Use 10 Secret Techniques): Considered as Ultimates, Secret Techniques are extremely powerful techniques that consume the Secret Technique Gauge.
- Scroll Appraiser (Used 50 Scrolls): Considered as the “lootbox” of Shinobi Striker gameplay, Scrolls can contain cosmetics, weapons, and even Scientific Ninja Tools. Tenten can appraise these Scrolls, but only 10 at a time.
Part 2: Masters For Mechanics Proficiency
When players get a feel of the full capabilities of their dream Naruto ninja, they can transition from traditional PVE VR Missions and proceed to “perfecting” their ninja via VR Masters. These Masters are Naruto characters that players use in order to be familiar with their movesets, as the techniques they demonstrate will eventually be made available to them.
Unlocking Achievements attached to this mode relies on players gaining proficiency with all VR Masters and using their techniques across various game modes. Players may also want to consider engaging in matches using different Classes in order to secure the most Achievements even without a hard focus.
- Up And Coming Ninja (Complete the VR Mission: Basic Training): When players complete one of the first tutorial missions, they unlock this Achievement.
- Ninja Leader (Achieved Level 5 VR Master Training Rank with Kakashi): Players unlock Kakashi by getting “Found a Rare… Thing?”
- Light As A Brushstroke (Achieved Level 5 VR Master Training Rank with Sai): Players can unlock Sai as a VR Master by leveling up Yamato to Level 2. To use Sai, players need to talk to Sasuke.

Part 3: The Grind With PVP
Should players acquire their ideal Naruto techniques and curate their character to their needs, it’s time to get serious with the endgame. Similar to other MMOs, Shinobi Striker has a reliance on weekly modes as well as an intense PVP scene in order for players to be able to recreate their favorite Naruto fights. Thankfully, the sheer versatility and customizability of the game allows players to create characters that suit different playstyles, making PVP all the more engaging for players.
In turn, the Achievements involving this approach more or less include “the grind” to complete extremely specific requirements. This is why Stage 3 of the Naruto game involves playing multiple matches of more difficult Shinobi Striker game modes, or building towards completing a set number of fights using certain characters.
- Power Squad (Win 100 Combat Battles)
- Ninja Incarnate (Win 100 Flag Battles)
- Ruler of the Battlefield (Win 100 Base Matches)
- To Greater Heights (Finish all VR Missions): Each VR Mission has set objectives with a time limit, all ranging from D-Rank to S-Rank difficulties. Challenges involving A-Rank and S-Rank Missions can get overwhelming for solo players to finish, which makes a team a must-have for hopefuls who want to finish this mode.
- Professor (Learned all Ninjutsu): Players can acquire techniques from both random drops and VR Masters. Each Master can teach around three to four techniques, whereas each of the three Classes also have specific techniques that serve as mission drops. While drops are given at random, they always correspond to the player’s character type, which means players can change the techniques they acquire if they change the Class they are using. This system allows players to curate their fighting style based on the Class they prefer playing, such as ideal Shinobi Striker Attack Builds for more aggressive players.
- Veteran Ninja (Partake in 1000 battles): Given how each Shinobi Striker match can range between three and 11 minutes, this particular Achievement can be tough to finish. It’s advised that players finish other Achievements that need them to complete a specific number of certain game modes as particular character types. That way, they’re able to complete various Achievements on top of this coveted accomplishment.
- Fighter of All Trades (Use the Attack Class to finish 100 battles): This is one of the easiest Achievements to finish, considering that the Attack Class is the most damage-forward character type in the game. Using high-DPS attacks and AOE blasts should be able to finish foes quickly.
- Grasping the Horizon (Use the Ranged Class to complete 100 battles): Players who want ninjas that are safe at a distance may want to create a Ranged Class character. Regardless of the number of enemies, spamming ranged Shinobi Striker Ninjutsu at them can finish them before they even make a dent to the character.
- Proudly Impenetrable (Use the Defense Class to finish 100 battles): Perhaps the tougher to complete across the Class-related challenges, this Defense-leaning Achievement isn’t the immediate ideal for traditional matches. Instead, the protective potential of the Defense Class is perfect for Flag Battles and Base Matches that necessitate defensive ninjutsu.
- Healing Hands (Use a Heal Class to finish 100 battles): Unlike the Defense Class, the Heal Class focuses more on giving buffs to allies and using debuffs on opponents, ensuring enemies are debilitated enough for the rest of the team to finish them off.
- Rare Connoisseur (Used 500 scrolls)
