Before I get started I have yet to master the art of making threads (It took me a freaking hour to find how to make one today.) So I will not be including manga strips or other such commodities with this thread. Thank you.
As we all know, there are several strong bonds within the Naruto Universe. A lot of these bonds have caused people to go out of their way to protect them.
And that's where their life ends.
I have noticed over the course of time that almost everyone that has had someone that they wish to protect they almost always die.
These will be in Chronological order, to the best of my knowledge.
The first people to do this were Naruto's parents. They had protected Naruto on the day of his birth from Tobi. After sealing half of the Nine-tails in Naruto, they died.
Fast forward and we come to Haku and Zabuza, though we see this one first as far as Manga goes. Haku literally loves Zabuza so much that he believed himself to be a tool of Zabuza's and ultimately sacrificed himself because he believed Zabuza was more important than Himself.
Hiruzen vs. Orochimaru was more of his Hokage duty, though I will include him anyway. I mean seriously, who doesn't love that old guy?
Kimimaru gave his life because he believed he was serving his lord Orochimaru. Misguided as he was he was willing to literally kill himself to make sure Sasuke got to him.
We see Gaara also saving the people of his village, and later Akatsuki finished him.
While this one isn't as an emotional attachment, Kakashi sacrificed himself to save Choji from the Asura path's rocket. Kakashi debated it in himself if he should save him aty the cost of his own life, but realized he had to save him.
The ever famous time when Hinata attacked Pain knowing she was no match for him to save Naruto. She was that in love with him, she was willing to die to try and save him. She lives thankfully.
Later when Konan attempted to save Nagato's body (I debated this one being in here since he was already dead) from Tobi. She fought Tobi to try and protect Naruto, just as Nagato would've wanted her too.
And finally we come to our most famous sacrifice: Itachi to save the life of Sasuke. Even though Itachi didn't die in the beginning, he still sacxrificed everything he knew for his little brother. A life full of promise was thrown away by ultimately Itachi's own selfishness. He even allowed Sasuke to kill him to "protect" him. I personally see a possible redemption for Sasuke, but I only see it through his death at Naruto's hands.
So this brings me to my final point. I believe that in the end, Naruto will die as well, protecting everyone from Tobi and the 10-Tails. I hope I'm wrong, but it is a reoccuring theme in the Naruto Universe, and one that seems fitting.
It began with a sacrifice, and will end with one.
