from the start i've always felt that naruto would die at the end of the story for some reason ,but everytime i tell people this they're always like: no way ,it can't happen , it's impossible ,so that's my question, why why it can't happen ? i know you may say that he has to become hokage ,cuz that's the point of the story but that was before that naruto knew his true goal which is to make peace so this goal is much more important than to become hokage ,it's his reason to exist like minato said.
