Reading off character reveals for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is like reading off a checklist of important characters from the series. The Rookie Nine and Team Gai? Check. Akatsuki? Double check! The ninja of the Hidden Sand? Of course!

To add to this already impressive list, all five Hokages are going to be playable as well, along with a few other faces who might be Hokage-class, and a certain bespectacled, backstabbing punk.

The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama

The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen

The Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato (from the Kakashi Gaiden arc)

The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade

The Toad Sage, Jiraiya

Eternal snake-in-the-grass Orochimaru

Kabuto, whose bedside manner leaves much to be desired

I'm not that surprised they've split Minato into two characters. As many have said before, so far Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations has the same cast of Ultimate Ninja Storm 2--but CyberConnect2 is probably saving the best reveals for last. What do you think? Who's next for being announced in this big ninjutsu brawl?
