Naruto Shippuden: Rise of the Yugure feels like someone grabbed a horny fanfic thread from a dead forum, stuffed it into a visual novel, then said “yeah, good enough, now make Hinata beg.” It’s rough, it’s weird, dialog sometimes reads like Google Translate had a stroke, and I kinda loved that. You click through scenes, make little choices, watch the cast you grew up with stop pretending they’re about ninja honor and start acting like they’re trapped in a porn loop. Story tries to be serious at first, with this whole “Yugure” thing and danger and blah blah, then two lines later Hinata’s blushing so hard you know exactly where the plot is actually going. The contrast is stupid in a fun way. One second they talk about threats to the village, next second Naruto hits sexy jutsu and you’re staring at his “alternate” form wondering why this wasn’t canon already.

The girls get a lot of focus. Way more than the fights. Hinata’s the obvious star, all shy and loyal and then suddenly on her knees like she’s been waiting for this since the Chunin Exams. Sakura flips between fake tough kunoichi and frustrated perv who finally snaps, and when she snaps, she really snaps. You get those scenes where she’s arguing with Naruto, then the camera just refuses to look above the chest anymore, and suddenly you’re making a choice that decides if she rides him angry or soft. Ino, though, has that pure slutty energy the anime always teased but never let happen. The game leans into mind stuff in a way that’s honestly pretty dirty, like she uses her powers less for spying and more for making sure nobody remembers who started the orgy. Feels a bit mean, in a hot way. Dialog during sex is messy, sometimes outright broken English, and I weirdly liked that too, it sounds like a hentai fansub from way back, where “I will cum you” was considered acceptable English. Sometimes the moaning lines repeat and you’re like, ok, we get it, she’s “so full,” calm down.

Naruto himself is just chaos. Stupid, horny chaos. One moment he’s trying to act like some important hero, then he tosses a joke about seeing Sakura’s panties at the worst time and the scene flips from tension to foreplay. When sexy jutsu hits, it’s over; everyone loses their dignity and the VN leans right into it, gives you long shots, dirty angles, and a lot of “oops, we stayed too long on that close-up” energy. It doesn’t really care about pacing. Some routes feel rushed, others drag, like that one conversation with Hinata that keeps looping little variations before it finally admits, yeah, she just wants to get railed. Choices matter just enough to make you save scum like a goblin, trying to unlock the filthiest branch while pretending you still care about the village being in danger. It’s not polished, it’s not subtle, sometimes character logic just breaks for the sake of one more wild CG, but the game knows what it is: a horny Naruto parody where ninja skills exist mostly so clothes come off in creative ways. And honestly, that’s exactly the kind of trash my brain likes after doomscrolling TikTok all day.
