Thousands of shinobi have died. Amongst those deaths have been at least 5 named characters. Those being: Shikaku, Inoichi, Ao, Mabui and Neji. Dude, every named character can't die. There are only but so many named characters to kill off. You are basically proving my #3 on that complaint list from my earlier post (the everyone must die point). Also, this story is clearly not meant to be one of those "the villain wins" stories. Even if he was to kill off some more named characters that aren't a part of K 11 (like Darui, Kitsuchi, etc...), it would waste a lot of time and panel space because Kishi would have to take the time to show us those characters deaths (and they really aren't important enough for that). I said people that aren't in K 11 because Naruto does need to have some friends left after this war. If he doesn't, it would kind of defeat the whole point of this series (which is about friendship and comrade support, etc...). The series would have a depressing ending and this is clearly not that type of story (as I have stated before).
