These primarily include Sasuke, Madara, Itachi, and Kakashi. Naturally, fans love these characters as well and would love to have their skins in Fortnite.It is worth noting that Fortnite introduced the Crows this season, which now drop Purple and Gold loot. Interestingly enough, Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha from Naruto also summon crows to stun their opponents.It might appear a bit of a stretch to many, but Naruto fans in the Fortnite community strongly believe that the crows in the game are related to Itachi's upcoming skin.HYPEX@HYPEXNaruto's 22nd Anniversary is on the 21st and that could be a perfect date for Epic to do the collab. Also this might be a big stretch but it's a big coincidence that we got this banner + crows in the same season which matches Shisui's crow eye.

(pointed out by @chiku_it) https://t.co/u9U1kyz2ylOctober is always special for Naruto fans. While October 3 is celebrated as Naruto day, October 10 is the character's birthday. Hence, it wouldn't be a surprise if Epic decides to release the highly-anticipated skin on these dates.
