Top Ten Naruto Characters Who Shouldn't Have Died

The Top Ten
1 Neji Hyūga

Neji is pretty much one of my favourite characters in the whole series. Rock Lee, Tenten and him made the best team and when you watch some of the fillers (especially the ones when they do the chounin exams) you can see that Neji is definitely a vital member of the group. While others would disagree, this was my favourite team.

He died happy. He died for his cousin. But I wanted you to be alive to meet Bolt and Hima... :/

There should have been a fight between him and Lee.

I gree with you. If Lee dies, I quit Naruto

2 Itachi Uchiha Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.

I mean, he was killed because of a misunderstanding and a lie he said to protect his brother by his brother. How sad and selfless can a death get? Plus, Sasuke had the nerve to take Itachi's eyes afterwards. Jfc, Sasuke.

3 Jiraiya Jiraiya is a fictional character in the Naruto anime and manga series created by Masashi Kishimoto. Introduced in the series' first part, he was a student of Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and one of the three "Legendary Sannin" along with Orochimaru and Lady Tsunade, his former teammates.

Jiraiya was Naruto's teacher and to Naruto he was kind of like a dad. Jirariya was killed by his own student, whom he believed in and wrote a book for and second of all we all shipped him with Tsunade! Ugh so annoying.

4 Deidara Deidara is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles.

Deidara was one of my favourite characters. I like his so quick to get angry personality and his ability of being in the Akatsuki members at such a young age.

Sasuke had impenetrable plot armor during his fight with Deidara.

5 Kimimaro Kimimaro is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Kimimaro only really knew how to fight and he was locked up when he was a child. That alone is sad then he gets a disease and dies while battling gaara.

Died way too early. He should have at least had more screen time before his fight with Naruto, Rock Lee, and Gaara to give him more time to develop.

6 Minato Namikaze Minato Namikaze was the fourth Hokage of Village Hidden in the Leafs and the man responsible for sealing the nine-tailed demon fox inside Naruto Uzumaki when he was born. Doing so cost him his life, and before dying he asked that the villagers not see Naruto as the monster within him, instead wanting him to be viewed as a hero, a request ignored by the villagers. Naruto Shippuden reveals that Naruto is the son of Minato, born to Kushina Uzumaki. In his youth Minato, along with two other unknown Genin, was a student of Jiraiya. Prior to becoming Hokage, he was also the sensei of Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara. Minato is said to be one of the greatest ninja the Hidden Leaf has ever ...read more.

He basically died to save his child and the whole village. Him and Kushina couldn't even see their child grow, nor tell him the things they wanted to tell him. They could never make a family together. Plus, if Minato didn't die, then he could have been there for Kakashi too.

He shouldn't have to die.. In Tsunade's Tsukuyomi he saved everybody without throwing away his life. Why couldn't he do that in reality? :(

He deserved to stay with Naruto!

Minato is cool

7 Haku

Haku shouldn't have died. Its sad how he died saving Zabuza's life. Haku was a really cute and innocent person (Remember that he didn't kill Sasuke). His parents died and everyone hated him (just like Naruto and Gaara). His death made me cry. He deserves se love

8 Tayuya Tayuya is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
9 Kushina Uzumaki Kushina Uzumaki is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Kushina, like Minato died to save her child and the village. Well, thinking about how much of a cute and lovely family she Minato and Naruto would have made is really sad, and you feel this when you watch the Road to Ninja (the Naruto movie).

10 Obito Uchiha Obito Uchiha, also known by his alias Tobi, is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles.

In a weird way, as Obito was killing all those people in the war, he thought that he was saving them. And in the end, Obito realised that he was tricked by Madara and he even tried to bring everyone back to life again with a jutsu that took his life in return.

Is it selfish that I want him to live? Goddamn love the man if only he lived his life without old man Madara, he would surely be the greatest hokage Uchiha alive.

The Contenders
11 Pain
12 Kidomaru
13 Rin Nohara

Personally, I don't want her alive other than the fact that it would be the reason to break Obito's heart by seeing the love of his life married on to someone else. It would seem logical if she stays dead and is contentedly watching him on the other side.

Think of how different Obito's life would have been if Rin was alive.

14 Asuma Sarutobi Asuma Sarutobi is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
15 Shisui Uchiha Shisui Uchiha is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
16 Sasori Sasori is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
17 Zabuza Momochi Zabuza Momochi was the first major antagonist of the Naruto manga and anime series. He was an S-class Rogue Ninja from the Land of Water's Hidden Mist Village and the master and teacher of Haku Yuki.
18 Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha (うちはマダラ, Uchiha Madara) was the legendary leader of the Uchiha clan. He founded Konohagakure alongside his rival, Hashirama Senju, with the intention of beginning an era of peace. When the two couldn't agree on how to achieve that peace, they fought for control of the village, a conflict which ended in Madara's death.
19 Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
