A few months ago, the Naruto skin in Fortnite was officially announced. Fans hoped for a Battle Pass skin of the Hokage, but sadly, we haven't reached that point yet. Now we have found even more Naruto x Fortnite leaks!
To better understand the whole Naruto x Fortnite crossover fiasco, we have to go back all the way to the Apple and Epic Games lawsuit. There, during the trial, some internal data had to be made public.
In the files, there were also images of in-game cosmetics, revenue and upcoming collaborations. Some collaborations included famous names like Ariana Grande, J Balvin and Will Smith – just to name a few. But also other video game characters like Samus Aran were on the list.
The name that brought instant traction? Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto has a huge fandom, so obviously, a huge part of the community has been speculating when the Naruto Fortnite skin will become a reality. There were rumors that the skin would be released on Naruto's 22nd anniversary, but that day has passed and guess what? No Naruto skin is in sight. Fans are starting to wonder if they're ever even going to see the skin.
But don't fret, because more leaks are pouring down on us! These leaks basically confirm the existence of Naruto in Fortnite!
Is Naruto Finally Coming to Fortnite?
Fortnite Leaker Hypex has revealed a new creative coin with the release of the 18.30 update – Narutos favorite food: Ramen.
Is it a coincidence that this meal was added into the newest version of Fortnite? We think not! Epic is known to leave breadcrumbs for their players all around the game.

But wait, that's not all, further details to a scroll was added to the game data and this scroll is also too similar to the color scheme of Naruto to be a coincidence.
Also, Hypex found two codes in the game where – as he calls it – Naruto-ID's were added.
Now the Naruto ID has 2 tags, HeadbandK & HeadbandS.. Could it be Kakashi & Sasuke? Also yes, Naruto collab IS happening. There's no way that Ramen & Ninja Scroll that got added today aren't his.
Guys, that isn't all, either! There is more! "HeadbandK" will also be a Boss on the Fortnite map, and he owns the mythic Fortnite weapon "explosive kunais"... Come on, guys, can Epic make it more obvious than this?
Anyway, here is what we know about the weapon:
- Recharge Cooldown: 4s
- Maximum Range: 300 meters
- Delay Between Shots: 1.5s
- Hold Duration: 0.15s

Of course, this isn't an official announcement regarding the Fortnite x Naruto crossover, but it seems like the collaboration is close to becoming a reality. We will have to stay patient until we know more about the release of Naruto!
