I’ve been grinding through Lineage Piece’s newest update, and Six Paths Naruto is easily the most involved unlock the game has added so far. There’s no single purchase here — you’re looking at a race, a crafted key, a three-phase dungeon, and a mastery checklist before you’re actually using his best moves.

Here’s the quick version before I break it all down:

StepWhat You Need
1. Jinchuriki RaceComplete 5 quests from Killer Bee, buy with 3 Darkness Fragments
2. Six Paths KeyCraft on Elysian Island using Chakra Essence + Realm Signals
3. Valley of the EndClear all 3 dungeon phases on Extreme
4. Buy NarutoShinobi Badge, Tailed Beast Fragment, 40M Coins, 30K Gems
5. MasteryDamage, kill counts, and all 9 Tailed Orbs

Where to Find Naruto in Lineage Piece

The Naruto seller NPC stands on a bridge in Deeproot Jungle. He’ll sell you the base spec for Shinobi Badge, Tailed Beast Fragment, 40,000,000 Coins, and 30,000 Gems — but the listing won’t even activate until you’ve unlocked the Jinchuriki race first.

Step 1: Unlock the Jinchuriki Race

Head to the back of Deeproot Jungle and talk to Killer Bee. His questline has five parts:

  1. Deal 3M damage through normal combat — any farming route works.
  2. Carry a boulder to the checkpoint 5 times (follow the yellow waypoint).
  3. Kill 50 NPCs while Chakra Flow Mutation is active.
  4. Meditate on the red carpet for 600 seconds without moving.
  5. Fight your own clone at the Waterfall of Truth.

Finish all five and you’ll earn a Darkness Fragment. You need 3 of these to buy the race, which grants +26% Melee Dmg, +5% Crit Rate, +10% Crit Dmg, and +5% Naruto Dmg — bonuses that stack even after you’ve unlocked the character.

Step 2: Craft the Six Paths Key

The key is made at the Realm Signal NPC on Elysian Island, using Chakra Essence and Realm Signals. Before you can craft it, you need to finish four Realm quests:

QuestRequirement
Shinjuku ShowdownDefeat 20 bosses (Hard/Extreme)
Hueco MundoDefeat 20 bosses (Hard/Extreme)
Legend ArenaDefeat 20 bosses (Hard/Extreme)
Flame ChaserFind and defeat 11 scattered NPCs

Save the Flame Chaser hunt for last — it’s a solo travel job, while the boss quests go faster in a group. Realm Signals drop from Elysian Island mobs, so you can farm those alongside the boss counts.

Step 3: Clear the Valley of the End

Your Six Paths Key opens The Valley of the End, split into three phases:

  • Phase 1: Defend the Chakra Pillar from White Zetsu for 5 waves.
  • Phase 2: Defeat the Naruto boss.
  • Phase 3: Defeat Naruto, Six Path Sage.

Phase 1 rewards pulling aggro off the pillar over raw damage output. Phase 3’s boss is the one that actually drops your unlock materials — and it’s also the only source of the 9th Tailed Orb, so you’ll be back here later for mastery.

Naruto Mastery and the 9 Tailed Orbs

Buying Naruto only gives you Barrage and Rasengan. The full kit — Rasengan, Tailed Beast Bomb, Rasenshuriken, and Kurama Mode — comes from the Mastery NPC once you’ve hit five conditions:

  • Deal 75M damage with Naruto
  • Kill 350 White Zetsu
  • Kill 200 NPCs with Chakra Flow Mutation
  • Kill 100 bosses with Chakra Flow Mutation
  • Collect all 9 Tailed Orbs

Each orb drops from a specific boss:

OrbBoss
1Shadow
2Shadow Monarch
3Miyabi
4Yi Sang
5Frieren
6Aizen
7Raiden
8Firefly
9Naruto, Six Path Sage

Once mastery unlocks, your character gets a glowing yellow cloak with black truth-seeking balls floating behind you — an easy way to spot other players who’ve finished the grind.

FAQs

How long does it take to unlock Naruto in Lineage Piece?

Expect several play sessions — the Jinchuriki race, Six Paths Key, and dungeon clears each require repeated farming before you can even buy the character.

Do I need the Jinchuriki race to buy Naruto?

Yes. The Naruto seller NPC won’t sell you the spec until the Jinchuriki race is active on your character.

What’s the fastest way to get the 9th Tailed Orb?

It only drops from the Six Path Sage boss in Phase 3 of the Valley of the End, so repeat dungeon runs are the only route.
