Free Fire x Naruto Chapter 3: Is It Coming in OB55? Madara and Kid Naruto Bundles Leaked

Topuplist tip: Planning to collect the Naruto bundles when the event lands? The Free Fire top-up page at Topuplist keeps your Diamond balance ready through the official Topuplist storefront, with fast delivery and 24/7 support.

"Free Fire x Naruto Chapter 3" has dominated Free Fire news since July 2026, but the official reality is more precise: Garena has confirmed that the Free Fire x Naruto Shippuden collaboration returns in September 2026, reviving Chapter 1 content with new additions — including the long-awaited debut of Hinata Hyuga. The community keeps calling it "Chapter 3" because it lands after Chapter 2: Ninja War, and the leaks around a Hinata versus Jiraiya bundle event have only fuelled the name. This guide separates official information, creator leaks and data-driven speculation so you know exactly what to trust, and explains why the event is expected to arrive inside the OB55 update window.

Free Fire x Naruto: What's Actually Confirmed

The Confirmed September Return

The return is officially confirmed. Garena published teasers across its Global, India, LATAM and Brazil regional channels starting July 25–26, 2026, confirming that the Free Fire x Naruto Shippuden collaboration will return in September 2026 (official Free Fire news). Coverage of the official teasers describes the comeback as a renewed crossover season rather than a single-skin revival. The exact start date has not been locked in, but the window is official.

A Chapter 1 Revival, Not a Straight Sequel

According to the official teasers, the returning event revives the original Chapter 1 crossover — which ran from January 10 to February 8, 2025 — rather than launching an entirely new storyline. That means players can expect Hidden Leaf Village locations in Bermuda (including Hokage Rock and the Ichiraku Ramen Shop), daily and weekly ninja missions, event tokens, login rewards and exclusive draw events, all in the same structure Chapter 1 used. The teaser also confirms new ninjutsu skills and the return of the Nine-Tails invasion, with a story hook that someone is controlling the Nine-Tails. This is why Garena frames it as a revival with upgrades, not a simple rerun.

What Garena Has Not Announced

Garena has not confirmed the exact launch date, the full reward list, the bundle lineup or the event's official title. Everything beyond the September window, the Chapter 1 revival and the ninjutsu additions currently sits in leak territory.

Release Window: September 2026 and the OB55 Connection

The Official September Window

The confirmed window is September 2026. Community estimates narrow it to early-to-mid September, because Free Fire's major OB updates follow a roughly two-month cycle and the event is expected to launch together with a major update rather than as a mid-patch surprise.

Tied to the OB55 Update Cycle

Free Fire's next major patch, OB55, is expected to go live in early September 2026, with leaks pointing to around September 9. The Naruto return is widely expected to ride that update, which is exactly why the "Naruto Chapter 3 in OB55" question is everywhere. If the OB55 date moves, the event timing moves with it. You can follow the full OB55 schedule in our Free Fire OB55 update guide.

The July 30–31 Date That Didn't Happen

Earlier leak cycles predicted the collaboration would drop on July 30–31, 2026, based on a July 9 teaser from Free Fire Indonesia's Instagram showing a kunai silhouette under "9 Party Surprise Continues". That date came and went without a launch — the prediction was wrong, and the actual confirmed window is September. It is a useful reminder that even widely shared leaks can miss the real timing.

Why Everyone Calls It "Chapter 3"

The community calls the September event "Chapter 3" because it follows Chapter 2: Ninja War, which ran from around July 30 to August 31, 2025. In community usage, "Chapter 3" simply means "the next Naruto event". Garena has not officially titled the September return, and multiple outlets covering the teasers describe it as the return of Chapter 1 expanded with new content. Either way, the naming does not change what players actually get: a large-scale Naruto event inside the OB55 window.

Hinata Hyuga: The Headline Addition

The Teaser Clues

Hinata Hyuga is the strongest confirmed addition. The official teaser — shared by Free Fire Indonesia and Free Fire Global — includes visual clues pointing directly at her: a "Stream Plan" document with the words "Hidden Leaf?", "New Ninjutsu" and "TOP SECRET!", alongside an image of Hinata. Mainstream coverage of the teaser treats Hinata as the confirmed headline character of the return.

Her First Appearance in the Collaboration

Hinata never received a bundle in Chapter 1 or Chapter 2, which is why her debut is the biggest talking point. For many players, the September event is effectively "the Hinata event". Her exact bundle design, skills and availability have not been revealed, but creator leaks describe her as the centerpiece of the main event's reward structure.

Jiraiya and the Returning Bundles (Leaks)

The Leaked Choice Event Mechanic

The most widely discussed leak describes the main event opening with a choice between two bundles: a new Hinata Hyuga set and the returning Jiraiya set. According to the leak, players pick their main prize once and cannot change their choice until the event ends, then progress through a milestone bar to unlock the chosen bundle with rewards along the way. This mechanic is leaked content from creators and data miners — it has not been shown in any official teaser.

Rumored Returning Bundles

Multiple leak reports list fan-favorite bundles returning during the event. The most frequently mentioned names are:

None of these returns are officially confirmed. Mainstream coverage of the September return does expect several popular bundles back, including Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Sakura and Gaara, but the final lineup belongs to Garena's official announcement.

Possible New Names: Gaara and Tsunade

Community leakers also speculate about Gaara and Tsunade joining the collaboration as new bundles. Neither character has appeared in official teaser art or leaked promotional material, so both are pure speculation for now.

Free Rewards Event Leaks: Kakashi and More

The Kakashi Hatake Bundle

Leaks from content creators describe a free rewards event running alongside the main event, with the Kakashi Hatake Bundle as its headline prize. The reported structure matches Chapter 1's format: complete missions, collect tokens and exchange them in the event shop without spending Diamonds. Spins in the free event may use Gold or Gold Vouchers instead of Diamonds, which would make collaboration cosmetics genuinely obtainable for free-to-play players.

Other Leaked Free Rewards

Beyond Kakashi, leaked reward lists include a Naruto-themed mask, a backpack skin, a Monster Truck skin and assorted collaboration cosmetics. As with every item in this section, the reward pool is unconfirmed until Garena publishes the event details.

Topuplist tip: If the leaked event uses Gold Voucher spins, your Diamonds are better saved for the main bundles — and the Free Fire top-up page at Topuplist lets you top up exactly what you need through the official Topuplist store.

Returning Items, Emotes and Skins

Creator leaks also point to iconic items from earlier chapters returning:

• Katana Snake Sword

• MP40 "Uchiha's Legacy"

• "Final Shot"

• "Infinite Tsukuyomi"

• Four Naruto-themed emotes plus the Fist Skin from Chapter 1

Leaks also mention a Naruto Emote Royale returning and Faded Wheel events featuring the Chapter 1 Fist Skin together with lobby arrival animations. For reference, community estimates put a Faded Wheel grand prize at roughly 900 to 1,100 Diamonds depending on luck. Every item in this list is leaked information — treat it as a shopping list, not a guarantee.

Official vs Leaked vs Speculation: The Full Breakdown

The collaboration timeline so far:

How to Prepare for the Naruto Return

Save Diamonds and Event Tokens

Naruto collaborations historically rank among Free Fire's most expensive events. If you want the headline bundles, bank your Diamonds now and skip low-priority draws during the last weeks of OB54. If the leaked choice mechanic is accurate, the Hinata vs Jiraiya decision is locked in for the whole event, so think about which one you want before the event starts.

Topuplist tip: When the event goes live, the fastest way to fund your pulls is a Free Fire top-up at Topuplist — Diamond packages from 100 to 2,200 plus the Weekly and Monthly Membership, delivered to your UID in minutes via the official Topuplist platform.

Plan Around the OB55 Advance Server

The event is expected to launch with OB55, which means its systems will first be tested on the OB55 Advance Server in August. If you want an early look at the event mechanics, register on the first day — the process is covered in our Free Fire OB55 Advance Server guide.

Follow Official Channels

Garena's regional channels (Global, India, LATAM, Brazil) and the in-game Events tab are the only sources that will confirm the exact date, the bundle lineup and the reward list. Everything in this article marked "leaked" or "speculation" is subject to change.
