  • Ranking Points: Playing in different modes and winning battles will accumulate points that increase your rank, from Genin to Jonin and higher. Higher ranks unlock characters like Orochimaru and the Third Hokage.
  • Team Bonuses: Certain teams, like the original Team 7 (Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura), may unlock extra bonuses or points quicker.

If you want to unlock all characters efficiently, focus on progressing through Hero Mode, increasing your rank, and completing story-related tasks.
