NARUTO SHIPPUDEN – THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE CRYING! – Naruto was a resounding success in its classic version, becoming one of the most popular anime around the world.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
The story of the ninja who wanted to become Hokage conquered many fans with good text and excellent fight scenes, always with the message of personal overcoming. However, everything only got more serious and heavy even a few years later, when we saw the character in another period of his life.
In Naruto Shippuden, when the protagonist and his friends had already grown up, fans followed a more mature and dramatic story, with more deaths appearing along the way. Between heroes and villains, many lives were lost and several shocking scenes moved the audience. So prepare the tissue and remember with us the 5 saddest deaths in Naruto Shippuden
Jiraiya was certainly the saddest loss of Naruto Shippuden
Being one of the most beloved characters in classic anime , despite only appearing after the first few seasons, Jiraiya is one of the most enduring names in anime. The old sage not only captivated the public by being extremely powerful, but also won the hearts of fans by having great charisma and being an upright shinobi.
Jiraiya not only was one of the main responsible for Naruto’s evolution throughout the anime, but also served as a father figure for the protagonist.
After growing up without a family, Naruto found people who came into his life along the way, and Jiraiya was one of the most important to the ninja. The episode in which Jiraiya dies at the hands of Pain is certainly one of the saddest in the entire anime, and its final scene is extremely remarkable because it means the end of an extremely beloved character.
Asuma Sarutobi
The death of Asuma Sarutobi was one of the first major losses in Naruto Shippuden, and brought terrible trauma to Shikamaru.
The lazy and extremely strategic ninja was extremely shaken by the loss of his Sensei. Being largely responsible for the evolution of Team 10, formed by Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji, Asuma Sarutobi died in front of his students, in an extremely touching scene.
In a fight against the immortal and terrible Hidan, one of the members of the powerful Akatsuki, Asuma Sarutobi ended up meeting his end in a surprising way for both his students and viewers.
If death was already sad in itself, the context and the scene made everything even stronger and more striking.
Neji Hyuga
Neji Hyuga starred in a great rivalry with Naruto in the classic anime, being a ninja who went through a big change.
Extremely skilled, Neji considered himself better than his opponents and far superior to Naruto, but he was surprised when Uzumaki found the strength to defeat him in combat. Still in classic Naruto, Hyuga began to change and became a great friend of the protagonist, even helping in the search for Sasuke when he left the village with the Sound Four.
Already in Naruto Shippuden, when he was a character very dear to the public, Neji lost his life during the Fourth Shinobi World War, sacrificing himself to protect Naruto and Hinata. The scene is emotional, as many fans can claim they didn’t see this death coming, and watching Neji willing to die to save his friend and cousin was truly touching.
Itachi Uchiha
Itachi Uchiha was considered one of the greatest villains in anime for a long time, since the day he was presented in classic Naruto as a great threat.
However, the truth is that the character kept many secrets that over time would change the way fans saw him. Itachi went from a hated villain to an extremely loved character, being considered wronged for everything he had to do.
With the guilt of killing all members of his own clan, the ninja was only “forgiven” in Naruto Shippuden, when fans discovered his true motivation and goal of saving the village, avoiding a greater number of deaths.
With an extremely sad story, filled with weight and guilt, Itachi was a necessary hero – or villain – who chose the greater good over the good of his own family, over his own good. His death was painful throughout the context… Itachi suffered a lot, without ever being recognized as the hero he was for many people.
Minato e Kushina
Here we have a double death, as both characters died at the same time to save Konoha.
When the anime started, Minato and Kushina were already dead for a long time, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the loss was very remarkable. Naruto’s parents gave their lives to save the village during a Kyuubi attack, and when the event was shown in Naruto Shippuden many fans were moved.
Minato and Kushina gave their own lives to save the village, while sealing the Nine-Tails in their own child. The characters imposed a terrible burden on the newborn, as it was the only salvation for Konoha’s members. It doesn’t even need to explain much for someone to understand how sad it is to choose to die, giving up a life next to a long-awaited baby, right?
