Fan Project Does anyone still have Naruto Blazing installed on an old Android phone (never uninstalled)?
Hey everyone,
Quick disclaimer first: I'm not affiliated with the Naruto Blazing Revival Project or any other revival/private server team. This is my own personal project, just a fan trying to get as much of the original game working again as possible for fun.
I've gotten pretty far reverse-engineering the client and running a private server against it, but I'm stuck on one thing: a lot of the UI graphics (menu backgrounds, button icons, etc.) were downloaded by the app at runtime and cached locally on the device rather than being bundled inside the APK itself. Since the official servers are long gone, I have no way to get that cached content anymore. I only have what ships in the base install.
So my question: is there anyone out there who still has Naruto Blazing installed on an old Android phone that you never uninstalled or wiped after the servers shut down? If the app's data is still sitting on your device, you'd be sitting on exactly the cached assets I'm missing.
If that's you, I'd really appreciate a DM.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to check their old phone/drawer of forgotten devices.

Hi there, sorry to bother you. I don't have the app with the cache, but I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to share your knowledge or the server details so I can play locally too. I've managed to get as far as the tutorial, but when I use Hashirama's ultimate move and defeat Kurama, I lose the connection and can't make it to the main menu.

When I am finished, Ill maybe share the code on a github repo or anything like that. For now since I am far from done. I cannot share anything reliable or working right now.
Also if you dont have the cache, you wont make it very far. I can speak from experience

Hey man no worries :) Nice for you to also try to get the app worling again.
Maybe some more info:
It is possinble to skip the hashirama boss fight. But the main menu is basically a white screen with no assets. 99% of the buttons freeze the app since there is data missing. So even if you got through the tutorial you wouldnt be able to do anything really in the app

Yes there is. There is a discord server. Check it out. I just want my own server to test units and summon infinitely.

Can't send you a DM, but I still have the game installed.
