The **3rd Anniversary** event of Ninja Saga came out on July 17, 2012 and lasted until August 15, 2012. In the event, players can battle event world bosses in the Shinobi Anniversary Arena, purchase event items and Ninjutsu in the Materials Market with ribbons earned from the arena, and get rewards for spending Tokens during the event.

## Shinobi Anniversary Arena

 File:Arena2.png  The Shinobi Annivesary Arena is an area of the Arena during the 3rd Anniversary event only where the player can battle world bosses to earn Primary, Intermediate, and Superior Ninja Ribbons and Winner Certificates, which are materials used to purchase event items or Ninjutsu from the Materials Market. If a player recruits a friend or two, the player will battle against 2 bosses at once and if the player wins, the player will be rewarded with 2 materials and can share 2 materials.

To battle a boss, the player needs to give up a certain amount of energy to battle him/her. The player has a maximum of 50 Energy Points that he/she can use to battle bosses. The player can refill Energy Points by using an Energy Capsule, which refills 10 Energy Points but costs 10 Tokens to purchase. Also, an Energy Point can be recovered every 20 minutes.

When a player's character defeats a boss, the player will be able to share some materials to friends on the player's Facebook wall and unlock another boss battle. Boss battles that are completed cannot be challenged again unless if the player completes at least 60% of the battles, where the player can choose to restart their progress back to 0% of the Anniversary Arena.

### Bosses

There are 5 boss battles in the Shinobi Anniversary Arena. The levels of each boss and Gold and XP rewards are the same as any basic world boss in the Hunting House. Recruiting friends will add an extra boss for the battle but the player's rewards and shares will be doubled.

After completing all of the boss battles, the player can claim a big reward such as 50 Talent Points or 10,000 Gold and reset their progress back to 0%.

### Before July 26

The first boss battle and the first boss battle on the top row is a Mysterious opponent (two opponents if recruited friends), who is a "Random Fire Village Ninja" that is a ninja from the player's friend list. Challenging these boss battles cost 10 Energy Points. Winning these boss battles will win the player a Primary Ninja Ribbon (or two if the player recruited friends) and the player can also share one (or two if recruited friends) Primary Ninja Ribbon on his/her Facebook wall for one person to claim.

The last boss battle on top row is also a Mysterious opponent (or two opponents if recruited friends) and it is the same as the other Mysterious opponent boss battles except defeating the final Mysterious opponent(s) will reward the player an Intermediate Ninja Ribbon (or two if the player recruited friends) instead of a Primary Ninja Ribbon and the player can also share one (or two if recruited friends) Intermediate Ninja Ribbon on his/her Facebook wall for one person to claim.

The first boss battle on the bottom row is a ninja (or two if recruiting friends) from the Earth, Fire, Lightning, Water, or Wind Village that can be fought after defeating the first Mysterious Opponent but battling him costs 10 Energy Points, 1 Heart of Kari, and 1 Crystal of Kari. These ninjas uses Ninjutsu elemental attacks that are based on their village. Defeating the random ninja will reward the player a Superior Ninja Ribbon (or 2 if defeated two opponents) and can share the same amount on the player's Facebook wall and Gold and XP rewards are based on a basic world boss rewards.

The final boss battle on the bottom row is the same as the first boss battle on the bottom row except the boss battle also requires another Heart of Kari and Crystal of Kari and a Friendship Kunai, which can be obtained by successfully inviting friends to Ninja Saga and instead of being rewarded a Superior Ninja Ribbon, the player will be rewarded a Winner Certificate (or 2 if defeated two opponents) and can share the same amount on the player's Facebook wall.
