Welcome to NA's 10th Anniversary! On December 15th 2004, we opened up the doors to Ninja Academy 4.0, the first version of the website that existed on a .com address. Previously, on NA 3.0, we were located on a free Invision Free server (and before that, MSN Groups). We quickly outgrew that and due to evloving nature of the site it was at this time we cleaned the slate and did a fresh restart with the system revamp. This was the last time we ever did a "character reset" where all characters in the game were set back to level 0. We got our own forum license and address and started the current timeline of events that continues on to today! So though NA has been around for over ten years, this anniversary is very special because it is the start of the current game world. This entire month (and spilling into next!) we will be celebrating this anniversary with a few very special events! There are Anniversary Gifts! (oooo), Holiday Gifts! (ahhhh), A Technique Creation Contest! (wooowwww!), and some great art drawn by Cellar Door to commemorate NA's top 20 most iconic characters! (such art!)

Some Fun Facts about the state of Naruto in December 2004:

• The 25th Volume of the Naruto Manga had just been released in Japan.
• The 5th Volume had just been released in English.
• Episode 114 had just aired in Japan.
• The English version of the Anime hadn't begun airing yet (September 10th, 2005).
• Seishun Kyosokyoku was the opening theme, and Mountain a Go Go Too was the ending.

Below you can find details on each of these events! If you have any questions at all feel free to talk to staff!

.: Hitai-Ate Anniversary Gift! :.
10th Anniversary Gifts; Part 1!

 
 

All characters in the game before January 10th will be given a specialized Hitai-Ate for their character with one of the Special Attributes listed below. This is added to the Hitai-Ate you are given at character creation. If for some reason you do not have a Hitai-Ate anymore you gain one with a chosen Special Ability. If you have any other concerns or requests please contact cntrstrk14.

 
 

"Shinobi" [ 忍 ] Hitai-Ate
Description: An archaic headband from the time of the 4th Great Shinobi War, when all nations banded together under a single banner to fight off an evil greater than themselves. Somehow, this headband has withstood the test of time. Rather than a village symbol, it simply possesses the kanji for "Shinobi" ( 忍 ).
Special Attributes: Select one from the lists below.
 

Kage Series

Fence-Sitter's Tenacity

Effect: Iron Skin and Chakra Barrier now reduce damage by 15% of their total rather than 10%. This effect is only active while the headband is being worn.

Ultimate Tag-Team

Effect: Coalescence Jutsu deal an additional 10% Base Damage. This may allow a jutsu's Base Damage to exceed natural caps. This effect is only active while the headband is being worn.

Gambler's Folly

Effect: Whenever the wearer gains money, they may choose to activate this effect. The user rolls a D10. On a roll of 2-5, they gain an additional 15% of the base amount of money received, while a roll of 6-9 subtracts 10% from the base amount of money received. On a roll of 10, they gain 25% bonus base reward; on a roll of 1, they lose 20% of the base reward. This effect is only active while the headband is being worn.

A Mother's Love

Effect:  Once per battle during the Response Phase as a Free Action, the user may trigger this ability. This ability grants the user a Shield whose health is equal to two times the user's level; this shield lasts for three turns and may not be repaired or have its duration extended through any means.

Happily Ever After

Effect: The wearer's attacks have a 5% chance to have one turn of "Charmed" added to their effects. This is determined by a roll that takes place in the user's Main Phase, including the attack name in the roll description. This effect is only active while the headband is being worn.

Team 7 Series

Hero's Resolve

Effect: Whenever the wearer would attempt to respond to an attack aimed at an ally, they may add three (+3) to their roll. This effect is only active while the headband is being worn.

Avenger's Drive

Effect: The wearer gains an additional 5% experience from all sources. This stacks any other experience increasing effects. This effect is only active while the headband is being worn.

Blossoming Compassion

Effect:  Whenever the wearer uses a Healing Ninjutsu, they roll a D100. On a roll of 1-15, that ninjutsu also applies "Induced Regeneration: X" for 2 turns, where X is equal to half of the user's level. This effect is only active while the headband is being worn.

Scarecrow's Cunning

Effect: The wearer gains an additional 2% chance to critically strike. This effect is only active while the headband is being worn.
