Now there isn't an actual online game out (I hope I didn't get your hopes up), but this is something I've been thinking about for a while and I've decided to put it down in words.
Basically this Naruto game would be an MMORPG however the mechanics would be different from the regular MMORPG's.

Edit: Right now I'm going to go over the general info, later I'll go on to specifics if people want.

The fighting system
Instead of being one of those MMORPG's where you just click you mouse to atttack, this one will be similar to 3d fighting games like Dead or Alive. (If you're using a controller for the comp.It would be cool to have an MMORPG on a console, but I don't think that can happen right now).
Example "X" could be kick, "O" could be punch etc, and you can form hundreds of different combos just like any 3d fighting game.
Ninjutsu
Now to perform a jutsu its a bit more difficult than simple hand to hand taijetsu. To perform a jutsu you would have to hold a trigger button (lets say a right trigger) to get into hand seal mode. Now when you're holding that right trigger, anyother button you press will be a different hand seal.
Example Holding down the right trigger and pressing triangle will make you do the dragon seal (i'm just making up the seal, its an example).
So to do a certain jutsu, you have to hold down the right trigger and press the right combination of seals to do your jutsu.
Example To do Earth Element; Earth Dragon Missile, you have to hold down the right trigger and press O (for sheep seal), X (for horse seal), and triangle (dragon seal) and your character will perfrom the Earth Dragon Missile.
You are limited to the jutsus you can perform by the amount of chakra you have (higher level jutsus require more chakra), your characters nature type (if he is wind type, fire type, lightning, etc), what you can memorize and perform (some of those jutsus will take memorization, more skill involved), and the jutsus in your jutsu book-- The jutsus your character learns is recorded in his Jutsu book. If you have a jutsu that you saw and you want to learn it, you can add it to your Jutsu book. However like I said before, only some Jutsus you can perform because other people have different nature types, different amount of chakra, and some you may not be able to memorize.

So this is all i will put for now (I'm not done yet), cuz I'm getting tired of writing. But post comments on what you think, and what you want to add.
Coming up Next:
Creating your character
Types of Characters
Starting Out
Missions

Creating Your Character
To create your character, you first get to choose what clan you would like to be in. If you do not want to be in a specific clan, you can click none and choose your initial nature type and do the normal customization of how you're characters stats will go.
Example Lets say I choose to not be in a specific clan, then I will choose my nature type (like lets say wind). Then I go to my stats and choose which ones to raise out of 60 points? The stats are strength, ninjutsu, genjutsu, chakra stamina, speed, chakra control.. (anymore ideas?).
However if I'd chosen a clan like the Uchiha clan, my initial nature type would have be automatically fire (Uchihas have like an affinity to fire jutsus). Some of my stats as well would have already been preset, only things like speed, strength, chakra control could be altered.
Now onto bloodline limits
If you chose a clan with a bloodline ability thing, you can only achieve that ability at a certain level of experience. So for instance if I'm an Uchiha I can only get the Sharingan at level 14. From there your bloodline limit ability will get stronger. However the bad part about choosing a clan with a bloodline limit is that using the ability will not only take up alot of chakra, but you will not be able to peform some high end jutsus that people without a bloodline ability can.
Home village
During this customization, you also get to choose your home village. Some home villages have different clans which have different abilitys.
Example The Uchiha is only in Konoha, so if you want to be an Uchiha, you will have to be a Konoha ninja.
Starting out
Just like in Naruto, you first start out in the Academy. That Academy is like a tutorial where you learn the basics of replacement techniques, cloning, throwing kunai and shuriken, (basically what they learned in Naruto).
After you are done this (it could take a bit to get the hang of doing jutsus) you then go out into the "world". You first off get to choose if you want to be a medical nin or a normal ninja. From there you go to meeting place where your Teams are chosen. You get grouped up with 4 other ninja (you can chose to have random selection, or if you have friends you can all pick eachother so you're on the same team). Your team will be led by an NPC (it could be Kakashi, Gai, Kurenai, Asuma..., etc.
From there it's almost like you're doing quests with your team. You all meet together (if one teammate isn't there you can leave without him if he's not online) and do small little mini missions. These missions wouldn't last that long, but would give you experience. There is only going to be about 6-7 (is that too many?) of these missions as it could become a hastle waiting for your teammates.
Chuunin Exam
Instead of in the Anime how you're against other people (that would too much of a hastle and it could take forever to become a chuunin depending on how much people there are), you'll have to go against an NPC. If you're skills are great enough and you can beat him, then you can become a chuunin and gain access to higher missions.
Rising in the ranks
One thing that I thought would be cool about this game is that its not all about how much hours you put into the game (like Wow and most MMORPG's). So you can just become a Genin and then try out for the Chuunin exam. And it would be possible for you to do it, if you have good memorization and can do all the basic jutsus well, good in taijetsu, and can execute good replacement techniques, (and if you have good battle strategy). Some people it would take a while to get this down, for others it won't. For one person, he could play the game for a month , but get beaten by a someone whose been playing for 5 days. But there is some time you have to put in to be able to gain experience so your chakra will raise and your health will raise. Also, as you play the game abit more, you'll see some jutsus require certain amounts of chakra and higher levels, so if you don't have enoguh chakra, then you can't perform it (you'll have to level up abit, or just find a different jutsu cuz theres gonna be hundreds). And as Cybertellic said, some jutsus can only be attained by doing certain missions. So when you are at a low level, you can put any jutsu in your book that is your nature type, is not a higher level jutsu than you (at low levels there will be basic jutsus that are mostly meant for beginners), doesn't require more chakra than you have, and is not a special jutsu that can only be achieved through a mission or a bloodline ability.
Missions after Genin level
When you become a CHuunin, you get access to Class C and Class B missions. These missions give much more experience than D missions, but are ofcourse harder. You can form a group with whomever you want. Once you have your team together, you go to where the Hokage of your village is (it's an NPC). You click on the Hokage and choose what mission you want to do. Some missions require more people, some missions have the aid of a NPC like Kakashi, and other missions are missions against other villages (depending if the village is an ally or enemy). So you can choose a mission where you go against NPC's, or a PvP mission. I think the PvP missions will be restricted to Jounins and higher. (I think the Jounin exam will be the same as the chounin except higher level opponents)

Kingj

that would be awsome espicially if you could seal demons uo inside you during the game. and if you could create ur own bloodline that would be awsome

Shankz23

Impressive idea! That would be a very cool game ... you could decide in which village you are and what skills you have (skill points e.g. Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu...)

It would be cool if you have something like a Wii Controller to control your movements

scudzilla

Very cool idea indeed. I agree with Kingj with sealing the tail demons inside your body. My idea is that aside from the trigger button, you could add a power button to control the power of the jutsu. In the case of Shadow clones, holding the power button longer means more clones. Also I would like to ask if you have to start at the academy.

wat wud be the title of this game? O_o.... Naruto MMORPG? thats rather a lame title dont ya think?

i always love to imagine or rather dream of having this kind of game.... but it seems difficult too create....

i will forever praise the man who can develop such a game....

ZOMG... i just thought about a naruto online game 2 yesterday after reading the manga! cool... i think mabe it would be cool to split players into specialties of ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu instead of having jobs. then mabe sub-specialties like medical-nin and so on... it would be pretty balanced cos, like taijutsu wont have to do much hand seals but they hav 2 go melee... and maybe players could choose if they want to go into the uchiha, hyuga or any other bloodline clan but hav certain disadvantages such as less attk dmg. it would be soo soo cool 2 hav "konoha online"!! haha...

itachiuchiha

thats a good idea. And as for putting it on a console. it verry well is possible. They have everquest online adventures for the ps2 and its a verry well done game i used to play it alot till i quit and it is still an active game.so puting it on a console would b even easier than eqoa cuz i dont think the naruto world would be as big as a normal mmorpg.but yea good idea.

Cybertellic

oh yeah. instead of havin normal mmorpg stats like luk, int, str... mabe str, agi, cc (chakra control) and sta (stamina) should be enough... but i dont think players should be allowed 2 just learn any jutsu they like... cos there'll b all those guides out there and u can just add jutsus 2 ur "jutsu book" like that. should hav short quests or missions/training to master a certain jutsu or sumthin like that... but i was wondering, what will players hav 2 do to train and gain exp? there no monsters in naruto except the 9 demons... or maybe fight against "wild ninjas" from the sound? LOL...

HoboAssassin

Btw thx for the comments, I tried to respond to yours Cybertellic somewhere in the new added info.
Once again, thx for the comments

Cybertellic

thx 4 d rep, hobo... I was thinkin that if players had to go on missions to gain experience to lvl up then it would be pretty tough cos sometimes some gamers js go on9 4, like 15-30 mins a day. then they wouldnt b able to do missions if their friends r not on or if they do individual missions then they wouldnt have time 2 complete them. wouldnt it be nice to hav the missions and all but also hav a "training room" that has a few levels so that individual shinobi can js fight with AI shinobi that can spawn? and could u giv an update bout items 2? haha... thx.

funkmastaray your so dum they can track your ip adress and bann that. Back to the topic. You can make such a game as that with the right programs and with enough money. Why don't we talk about this further in pm?
