Kishimoto recieves enough criticism for not killing off good guys, imagine how much he would receive if he didn't kill of any villains either. IMO, its better that they died. I think having a major fight with a villian only to have the villian manage an escape everytime is a cop-out. Besides, they could always bake more muffins later.

But I agree that it will be interesting to see where the story goes from here.
