The intersection of massive multiplayer arenas and legendary anime franchises is always a high-stakes endeavour, and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is proving it knows exactly how to stick the landing. If you thought the first crossover was massive, believe it: Moonton has officially launched the highly anticipated second phase of the MLBB and Naruto collaboration. Running from now until May 11, 2026, this in-game event, operating under the “Fight With You!” banner, actively bridges the gap between the Hidden Leaf Village and the Land of Dawn. For both hardcore anime enthusiasts and daily ranked players, it is a significant content drop that brings intricately designed hero skins into the competitive meta while offering plenty of free rewards to help you find your ninja way.
The New Legendary Shinobi
The undisputed highlights of this new phase are the arrivals of two incredibly formidable shinobi. First up is the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who seamlessly integrates into the game as a premium skin for the high-mobility assassin Gusion. Themed around “A Bond Reunited,” the skin translates Minato’s legendary Flying Raijin Jutsu into Gusion’s rapid-fire playstyle, creating visual effects built around blistering speed and precision.
On the other side of the battlefield, the prodigal Itachi Uchiha steps in as a skin for Julian. Operating under the theme “A Duel Without Secrets,” this design heavily leverages Itachi’s iconic crimson Mangekyo Sharingan and devastating fire-based Ninjutsu. It is a highly creative pairing that perfectly matches Julian’s versatile, combo-heavy combat mechanics and commands immediate attention during intense team fights.
The Draw Event and Returning Roster
To add these legends to your roster, you will need to channel your in-game Diamonds into the dedicated collaboration draw event. To ease the entry cost, the first daily draw is always offered at a special discounted rate, and the system guarantees a permanent special collaboration skin or a host of themed resources within your first ten attempts.
If you missed out on the previous rollout, this event also brings back the entire Phase One roster. This means fan favourites like Naruto Uzumaki as Lukas, Sasuke Uchiha as Suyou, Sakura Haruno as Kalea, and Kakashi Hatake as Hayabusa are once again available to players looking to assemble their ultimate ninja squad.
Accessible Player Progression
Fortunately, walking the path of a true shinobi does not require you to empty your digital wallet. The developers have baked in several highly accessible, free-to-play elements. Players can jump straight into Carnival Mode to unlock a free trial of the entire Naruto skin set, allowing everyone to test out the visual upgrades and unique animations firsthand.
Furthermore, the dedicated Ninja Training Path provides a tangible progression system for everyday players. By hitting specific gameplay milestones, you can earn exclusive in-game titles ranging from Genin up to Kage, and eventually unlock the impressive Gaara skin for Vale entirely at no cost. Additionally, starting April 10, players can tackle specific missions to obtain skin experience cards for the Phase One characters. By blending high-quality cosmetic designs with fair progression paths, this collaboration ensures every player gets ample time to live out their anime fantasy before the event wraps up.
