When they said there'd be a brand new line-up of characters, they definitely weren't kidding. It is reported that you can choose any one character from among 40 choices, which include Young Kakashi and Obito Uchiha, both from the Naruto Shippuden special, Kakashi Chronicles.

The press release gives more gameplay details:

During his quests, Naruto will also engage in Battle or Action stages. Each stage will contain a specific objective for Naruto to complete including intense fights, escaping from danger, and much more."
