lol very true terra but, we all know naruto is going to survive like hakeem said because, they need him alive and whether we like it or not kishimoto already made naruto a main character and isnt going to kill him off near the climax of the manga...or maybe away from climax i dunno i'd say this is pretty close.

true sasuke is hated by millions of naruto fans only because of his obsession with his brother and neji who is considered cool to many does not have the attitude needed to be the main character.

in this manga the main character has to be somebody that starts out weak, then builds up and eventually becomes strong, not somebody who was genius, and then went to super genius.

more or less there is a lesson here...
