Crunchyroll describes Naruto x Boruto Ninja Tribes as:
Set in the universe of the iconic NARUTO and BORUTO anime series, NARUTO x BORUTO NINJA TRIBES brings together fan-favorite characters spanning multiple generations of NARUTO lore, including Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura of the original Team 7 as well as BORUTO counterparts Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki for one-tap team-based battles. In combat, players will be able to show the strength of shinobi bonds with overwhelming duo and trio attacks unique to each character combination from the new Team 7 teamwork and father-and-son Rasengan with the Seventh Hokage Naruto and Boruto, all rendered in high-quality 2D visuals that evoke the same sense of speed and impact originally envisioned by the anime series.
