About this mod Author’s original text
Kizuna (KizunaMod)
The bonds (kizuna) between the Naruto survivors. Two players picking two different characters of the series get their pair's passive while both are alive, and can perform their pair's combined technique: a short cinematic finisher they trigger together.
This is the shared core: on its own it adds no survivor. Install it with the characters (they already depend on it).

Feedback & bugs
- Discord: (bug reports, suggestions, co-op partners)
- GitHub: (bug report and suggestion forms)
When reporting a bug, include the mod version and your log (r2modman → Settings → Debugging → Copy LogOutput contents).
How it works
- Passive: active while both of you are alive.
- Combined technique: both players press C (configurable) within 1 second of each other, within 30 m, untransformed. Once per stage for each pair of players. If your partner doesn't answer, you wait 15 s to try again.
- In the character select, the KIZUNA button next to Ready shows the chosen character's bonds: each partner, both halves of the passive and the combined technique.
- Counts per person: with two partners you combine once with each.
Bonds
| Pair | Bond | Combined technique |
|---|---|---|
| Sage Naruto + Taka Sasuke | Wind and Black Flames | Enton: Rasen-Shuriken |
| Sage Naruto + Minato | The Master's Formula | Hiraishin Rasen-Shuriken |
| Taka Sasuke + Minato | Shared Marks | Black Kunai |
Wind and Black Flames
- Sage: within 30 m of Taka with Susanoo ready, a hit that would drop you below 30% is blocked: 2 s invincible in his ribcage (his Susanoo recharges).
- Taka: the Sage's Giant Rasengan or Rasen-Shuriken on a burning enemy spreads your Amaterasu to the 2 nearest, as strong as it has grown.
- Combined: Taka sets the Rasen-Shuriken ablaze with Amaterasu: a black sphere pulls and burns everything, then bursts.
The Master's Formula
- Minato: each of the Sage's Kumite hits writes one of your seals.
- Sage: your first hit on each formula Minato placed gives you +3 points of natural energy and +1 charge.
- Combined: Minato catches the Rasen-Shuriken and flashes it across 4 kunai before dropping it on the target.
Shared Marks
- Minato: whatever Taka's Sharingan marks counts as a Hiraishin mark.
- Taka: Minato's seals count as your Sharingan mark: they draw your Amaterasu and your jutsu deal +20%.
- Combined: Amaterasu ignites Minato's kunai; a star of Senkō with Taka slashing behind and a pillar of black flames.
More characters, and their bonds, are coming.
Notes
- Multiplayer: every player needs the mod, same version.
- Texts in English and Spanish (by the game's language).
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
