Brothers, United! (A guide for unlocking "Sage Kabuto")

I will explain how to obtain "Sage Kabuto" and finish a hidden fragment in the Ninja Timeline.

Gekomatsu's Request

After you finish Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst, you will switch to free roam mode. This will allow you to obtain a mission that will unlock Kabuto (Sage Mode). First, you will need to go at the very back of the Hidden Leaf Village. You will see a frog, Gekomatsu, that will require your help (Gekomatsu is located near the Hokage's Mansion at the bottom stairs). Upon talking to him, you will receive a Frog Stone and Chakra Bead. These 2 items will be used to finish his request, obtain Chakra Fragments in order to change the color of the Frog Stone.

Residual Chakra Collection

In order to change the Frog Stone's color, you will need to obtain Chakra Fragments. Each Chakra Fragment is worth 20 points and can be found around the world. The Frog Stone will change colors for every 1,000 Chakra Fragments you obtain (50 Chakra Fragment orbs). Later on, the Frog Stone cap for the fragments will change to 5,000 points (in return, Gekomatsu will summon chakra enitity characters that can be used for side quests). After you reach 5,000 Chakra Fragments, you will need to talk to Gekomatsu again. He will ask for you to go to the Western Land of Lightning to obtain a Strange Chakra Fragment. This orb will add a new boss to your Ninja Timeline.

An easy way for obtaining Chakra Fragments

Strange Chakra Fragment

Now, you will need to obtain the Strange Chakra Fragment. This will add a new event to your Ninja Timeline, Fragment: True Legend - The Uchiha Brothers. In order to receive this fragment, you will be required to go to the Western Land of Lightning. In short, you can head their by going from the Village Hidden by Clouds and go straight outside without doing turns (use the transporter ninja located in the Hidden Leaf Village (Reconstruction) in order to go to the Cloud Village). As you approach the orb, you will play as Sasuke Uchiha while "From here, time runs backwards--". You will kill a mob of Zetsu's and go against "Tobi". After this event, the secret fragment will be added to your Ninja Timeline.

You can access the new fragment inside your Ninja Timeline. From their, you will fight the boss, Kabuto (Sage Mode). After you defeat him, you will receive your new playable character, Kabuto (Sage Mode)!

[Jakuzi]

what do you get for completing the bonus requirement?

[Dielan]

The fight with kabuto is literally fucking impossible btw

[Booboy]

i just got kabuto for no reason, i didn't defeat him or buy him, i just have him lol

[Hamborgorl]

or just earn 1.6 million ryo

[imaginee]

Or you could use a mod which unlocks all characters and fan created maps. Though I said that, I went with this method cause it was much more rewarding :3

Totally worth staying up at 1:00 in the morning to gather weird ass rocks :E

[Terom]

You can also unlock kabuto sage mode without doing the mission's through ryo cannot remember how much tho above 1mill mark

[SugarFreeStitch]

If any of you are having trouble, my advice is use your hero pallette and use all the slots for health potions or what ever it's called. Using them makes a huge difference since your life will decrease so easily when fighting Kabuto.

just to add to the guide just a bit, when you're collecting the chakra fragments and you end up in the hokage mansion, if you go into your menu and go into collections, and then leave it right away and go back to the game, all the fragments respawn, so you can gather them at double the speed. also, i was acutally able to unlock Sage mode Kabuto without doing this (the game gave him to me when i got 160000 ryo) but i still needed to do this to unlock the boss battle with him, which for me is totally worth the effort. thanks for the awesome guide!
