Naruto 4.5 Update: The Myths and Hidden Tricks Players Need to Know

The Naruto 4.5 update PUBG Mobile is not just another routine patch with a few surface-level changes. This update is filled with small gameplay interactions, hidden mechanics, and unusual ability behavior that many players still do not fully understand. From Mud Wall and Ninja Run to strange interactions between powers, vehicles, and even FPP/TPP, this version proves that some in-game mechanics are far more exploitable and flexible than they first appear.

In this report, we break down the most important tested myths and practical tricks from the Naruto 4.5 update. For competitive players, Tryhards, and anyone looking for an edge in fights, these details matter much more than they seem.

Mud Wall and Ninja Run Can Shorten the Animation

One of the most interesting discoveries in this update involves Mud Wall. If you use this ability normally, your player stays in place for a moment while the full deployment animation plays out. However, if you press Mud Wall and Sprint at the same time, a large part of that animation gets skipped.

The result was clear:

• the deployment animation becomes much shorter
• part of the animation is skipped
• you can place Mud Wall faster and with less risk

For situations where you need instant cover, this becomes a valuable advantage.

Verdict: Confirmed

Fire Power Can Push a Boat Back Into Water

Another important test showed that if a boat gets pushed out of the water, using Fire Power can send it back into the river or lake. The result was surprisingly powerful and confirmed that some abilities in the Naruto 4.5 event can affect the environment more dramatically than expected.

A second myth in the same section focused on grenade damage and Mud Wall.

The test showed:

• when a grenade was thrown and a Mud Wall was placed in time
• the player took no damage at all

That means Mud Wall can work as a real defensive tool against explosives if your timing is right.

For players with strong reaction speed, this is one of the most practical tricks in the update.

Verdict: Both Confirmed

Upgraded Mud Wall Cannot Stop the Loot Truck

One myth claimed that an upgraded Mud Wall could stop the Loot Truck. To test it, the wall was upgraded through Kakashi and placed directly in the truck’s path.

The result:

• the Loot Truck went straight through the wall
• the wall did not stop it

So this myth was clearly busted.

Verdict: Busted

Event Powers Can Still Be Picked Up With a Full Backpack

A much more useful myth turned out to be true. Even when the backpack is completely full and the game displays Not Enough Space, players can still pick up event powers.

This happens because:

• event powers do not consume normal inventory space
• they are treated differently from standard loot items

That makes inventory management a little more forgiving in this update, at least when it comes to special event abilities.

Verdict: Confirmed

A Secret Room Near Farm Contains a Level 3 Loot Crate

One of the more interesting map discoveries is a secret room near Farm in the Japanese-themed area. This room contains a Level 3 loot crate and also works as an effective camping position.

Its main advantages include:

• access to a Level 3 loot crate
• strong hiding potential
• useful positional advantage for cautious players

Spots like this are often underestimated, but in high-pressure matches they can become game-changing.

Verdict: Confirmed

You Can Reach the Tree Outside Chunin Arena With Kunai

Another tested myth involved the Chunin Arena. By throwing a Kunai at the tree outside the arena, the player was able to land on top of it.

That means:

• players can stand on top of the tree
• the position can be used for camping

This also suggests that some map geometry still allows unusual routes and elevated positions that players may not expect.

Verdict: Confirmed

Ninja Run Automatically Switches FPP to TPP

One of the most important findings in the Naruto 4.5 update involves perspective changes. If you are playing in FPP and activate Ninja Run, the game automatically switches you to TPP.

The test clearly showed:

• activating Ninja Run instantly changed the camera from FPP to TPP
• this can affect aim, awareness, and movement control during a fight

For players who rely on tight camera control, understanding this mechanic is extremely important.

Verdict: Confirmed

Dropping Ninja Stars Makes Weapon Equip Faster

A very practical myth focused on Ninja Stars and weapon switching. The idea was simple: if you drop your Ninja Stars before changing weapons, does your gun equip faster?

The result:

• while Ninja Stars were active, switching weapons took a little longer
• after dropping them, the weapon appeared almost instantly

This suggests that removing an active item state can reduce switch delay and improve reaction speed in close combat.

Verdict: Confirmed

Kurama Cannot Properly Hit a High Glider

Another major myth involved Kurama and the Glider. The answer turned out to be more nuanced than a simple yes or no.

What the test showed:

• if the Glider stays high in the air, most of Kurama’s attacks cannot reach it
• however, Beast Ball and Roar can still destroy the Glider if it is flying too low

So the myth is only true under specific conditions. Altitude matters a lot.

For players who depend on aerial movement, this is a critical detail.

Verdict: Confirmed only at high altitude

Racing Gun Does Not Always Prevent Fall Damage

One of the more debated myths focused on Racing Gun and fall damage. The test results showed that using Racing Gun while falling does not automatically cancel fall damage.

In repeated tests:

• damage was still taken after landing

However, one important exception was found:

• if the Racing Gun effect is already active before impact
• and the fall is from a lower height
• then fall damage may not apply

So this mechanic is conditional rather than universal.

Reanimation Jutsu Stops Working After Recall Towers Close

Another myth tested whether Reanimation Jutsu could still be used after Recall Towers were disabled.

The result was simple:

• once the Recall Tower closed
• Reanimation Jutsu no longer worked

So this myth was busted.

At the same time, Substitution Jutsu still remained usable, which shows that not every Jutsu follows the same rule set.

Verdict: Busted

Self Revive Kit Does Not Let You Bring Guns Into Ninja Fight Arena

One of the more searched myths in the update involved bringing a gun into the Ninja Fight Arena. The idea was that if a player got knocked outside the entrance and then used a Self Revive Kit, they might keep access to the weapon inside the arena.

The final result showed:

• after reviving inside the arena
• the player still could not equip the gun

So this myth was also busted.

There was also mention of another trick that may actually allow gun usage inside the arena, but that method was not detailed in the tested material.

Verdict: Busted

Is Chidori Faster Than Ninja Run?

A key question raised during the Q&A section was whether Chidori is faster than Ninja Run.

The answer:

• yes
• when you need fast rotation or sharp movement
• Chidori and Rasengan are among the fastest movement abilities available

For players focused on repositioning and aggressive movement, this is an important mechanic to understand.

Standing on Rooftops in Event Areas Does Not Cause Damage

The final major myth tested whether standing on top of buildings in Naruto event areas causes damage. This was checked in both:

• Hidden Leaf Hospital
• Hidden Leaf Center

The result:

• no damage was taken while standing on the rooftops

So this myth was busted, and those rooftop positions appear to be safe.

Verdict: Busted

Conclusion

If there is one clear takeaway from all of these tests, it is that the Naruto 4.5 update is packed with hidden behavior, timing-based tricks, and unexpected interactions between abilities and the environment. Some myths, like faster Mud Wall deployment with Sprint or pushing a boat back into water with Fire Power, were confirmed. Others, like stopping the Loot Truck or bringing a gun into Ninja Fight Arena, were completely busted.

For players who want a real gameplay advantage, understanding these small mechanics can make the difference between an average play and a high-level one.
