Mustard revealed that Naruto would definitely appear in Season 8, but not as a part of the Battle Pass.Today I had my last talk with donald ❣️And I wanted to clarify something that it was a misunderstanding from my part and even he told me ( Naruto is NOT IN THE battle pass ) He wanted me to clarify cause he saw everything last night and he got worried— #Ex Candywing (@qCandywing) September 7, 2021Mustard confirmed that the announcement that Naruto would appear as part of the Battle Pass in Season 8 of Fortnite was a "misunderstanding" on Josh's part. It has now been confirmed that Naruto will appear in Season 8 in the Fortnite Item Shop instead of the Battle Pass.Twitter reacts to Naruto's confirmation in Fortnite Season 8As expected, news this big garnered immense response from the community, with some people being elated that Naruto was not appearing in the Battle Pass. Contrarily, several others were extremely disheartened since they believe they will not be able to afford Naruto if he appears in the Item Shop.Oh. Well... you know who else can be a shop skin..... pic.twitter.com/ZqKb6HnkC7— Spider - Event Enthusiast  (@ImSpider14) September 7, 2021damn dude I actually thought we'll finally get a good battle pass after 5 seasons, I mean the last weren't even that bad, this season's was the weakest though, really disappointed. But hey, still keeping my hopes up.— コシュニエは最高です!🍂🌹✨ (@coshuloser) September 7, 2021That doesn’t make sense why will he be getting a mythic item if he ain’t in the battle pass— jukze (@HokageJukze) September 7, 2021No free naruto skin? pic.twitter.com/YbPvoMnqg6— Joney (@Joneyology) September 7, 2021Some even believe that Donald Mustard is simply trolling them and when the Battle Pass for Season 8 releases, Naruto will indeed be a part of it.what if he just trolling us pic.twitter.com/oay19gHZpN— fitzy (@FitzyLeakz) September 7, 2021Imagine if he is rick rolling us and after all naruto will be in the battlepass— Viatrent (@Viatrent) September 7, 2021Yeah because it was confirmed and you can't just cancel a thing after confirming it. How tf does that work. Hypex hasn't tweeted anything yet and he confirmed it. So I'm hoping naruto will be in the battle pass— MoTheCreeper  (@MINAYt4) September 7, 2021I think it's a trollIt would be a wasted opportunitynot making the next best selling battle pass just by having Naruto in it.— CosasDeFortnite (@CosasDFortnite) September 7, 2021Whether Mustard is indeed trolling Fortnite fans or Naruto will truly not appear in the Battle Pass for Season 8 can only be confirmed after the release of the Battle Pass. Chapter 2 Season 8 of Fortnite is almost upon us and is set to be released on 13 September 2021.
