Everything we know about the Fortnite Naruto collaboration

Previously, leakers found an NPC file named "Headband" which they assumed hinted towards the arrival of Naruto in Fortnite. Following this discovery, leakers also found files named "HeadbandK" and "HeadbandS" that they think hint towards the arrival of Sasuke and Kakashi along with Naruto.

To cement these rumors, data miners also found a new creative coin that is exactly like the ramen in Naruto, as well as a scroll similar to the one Naruto keeps at the back of the Sage outfit. This all but confirms the arrival of the Fortnite Naruto skin.

Since Fortnite is getting weekly updates for the Fortnitemares 2021 event, players feel that the Fortnite Naruto skin will be a part of the next few updates. This means Naruto could be in update v18.40 or v18.50.

Players can also expect to see a Naruto mythic boss in Fortnite who they will have to defeat to obtain the explosive Kunai knives. These mythic weapons will certainly make the game more interesting while also enjoying the Naruto theme.
