I can't imagine the events that would ensue from a fallen K11 member or two, three, etc.! I'd be paying very close attention however. Who will break? Whose resolve will be strengthened? To be honest, if you're going to kill a K11 member or two -- it can't be the lesser fan favorites. Yes, it would impact the characters in the story a lot, but it wouldn't do much for us. In the beginning, WE WILL ALL be shocked out of our minds, but later on we'll just be like.."so TenTen and Kiba died"..."so um, I can't wait until Sasuke and Naruto fight!". Imo, if you're going to kill off a few, and it saddens me to say this, it has to be one of Neji -- noo!!!
, Shikamaru (hugest plot twist -- Konohamaru would then be the sensai to the baby), Hinata, Sakura or Shino.
I think we can eliminate Sakura first -- unfortunately. I want to eliminate Shikamaru next, just because I feel he's too important to the story going forward. Leaving Neji, Hinata, and Shino to die. Both Hyuuga's wont die, so I'm going to eliminate Neji -- he's destined [see what I did there?] for greatness. If two K11 die, it will be Hinata and Shino. Hinata will die, because I just believe her and Naruto are meant to be. She'll die and will be Naruto's "what if" girl. Naruto won't truly understand her significance and his true feelings for her until she dies, sadly. I would say Naruto's back-up chick would be Sakura [oh, the irony], but I think him losing Hinata will be too much to bare and he will become a hermit like J-Man. I also think Hinata's death will be the final push for Naruto to elevate himself to the new "s06p status".
Shino is an interesting choice. I chose him because he is the most forgotten K11 imo, even more so than Rock Lee and TenTen. I see Shino truly being acknowledged by his peers and really get some well deserved shine before he departs us.
Hinata and Shino both die sacrificial and honorable deaths. Hinata for Naruto and Shino for...Kiba (for being wreckless) -- this will change Kiba like Obito's death changed Kakashi.
